25 Days of Christmas Challenge!

Hello Everyone... I'm really a slacker here on this blog. I know it, and you know it, but you're probably too polite to say so! So I'm challenging myself to post every single day for the 25 days of December leading up to and including Christmas Day (although that post might be a short one!).

I don't "do" New Year's resolutions, but I do like challenges and I really like giving myself something to work towards, so this is it. However, since I'm doing it on my blog, and I really want to encourage everyone to come here regularly--kind of like checking the daily newspaper but not for what's going on in the world--I've got a challenge for YOU guys as well. On December 25th, when I post my final blog of the challenge, I will select one winner who has A) visited and left comments on my blog during the challenge, B) encouraged, critiqued and/or challenged me in those comments, and C) brought me at least one new follower...

The prize is going to be a simple RAK (Random Act of Kindness) but I can't tell you what it will be because this is a unique blog in that I don't have just ONE theme, but I write fiction, talk about scrapbooking, do music reviews, and a lot more. So the prize will depend on WHO the winner is. It might be a homemade CD of songs I'm listening to that I think you might like, a paperback I've read that's interesting, a scrapbooking item, or even a stocking stuffer-type item.

In the meantime, the challenge officially starts Tuesday, December 1st and I will have at least one post on each of the topics that I love... music, scrapbooking, the ongoing fiction story, life here in the suburbs, and couponing. Everything else is a crap shoot, but there will be one every single day. I hope.

And here's the fun part: If I drop the ball and miss a day--assuming there is no serious tragedy, God forbid--then I will allow YOU GUYS to post about whatever you want on my blog... you can have a whole day/post to talk about whatever you like. Deal?

Okay, so today is Saturday, November 28th and there are three days until we begin. I'm going to get started right now, though, to get a jump on things since this IS a super busy time of year! (And you might even get some bonus points if you post a comment on THIS post...)
