For those of you who have been looking for them, I wanted to explain our current link-party hiatus.
The first part is my fault: Â Fred and I took the boys up the East Coast on vacation for two weeks, and I spent my time climbing monuments and eating lobster instead of blogging. Â (Where are my priorities?!)
But now that I’m back, Jocie and I are focusing our energy on promoting our Before and After Series in place of the link parties for the summer. Â If you haven’t already read our intro post to that series, please check it out!
This is our 5th year running the contests, and we’ve added a little twist. Â We’re sponsoring the series in cooperation with over a dozen other bloggers this summer! Â They’ll be hosting on their own sites, so you can meet them all as the series progresses!
How it Works: Submit your project stories (as many entries as you’d like!) to beforeandafter@oneprojectcloser.com with pictures of the “before” and then the “after,” and you could win a $50 gift card to your favorite home improvement or hobby & crafting store, AND we’ll make a $100 donation to Habitat for Humanity in your name, if you’re selected as a week’s winner.
The series runs every week, so there are many chances to win; and there will be a grand prize at the end of the summer for the “best of the best” winner again this year.
It’s a great way to “give back” while you share your best work, so please email us your Before-and-Afters all summer long!
I’m excited to join in the fun *and* that it goes all summer long. Right now we’re busy with the during stages of a few projects. I am taking pictures along the way though.
That’s what we like to hear!
