October's Sponsors

Apologies for this being a tad on the late side but it's here on the less. I've got two great blogs to introduce you to this month that have been supporting LOTS, so here's to it! Remember you can choose to sponsor my blog throughout the month with some great low prices, there's even chance for a free blog swap - just click here for more details!

First i'd love you to meet Gillian aka Gladley and her great blog The Glad Blog. Gillian is actually like myself in being an expat who moved herself and her life to the US from Scotland. The Glad Blog much like my own covered her adventures through the crazy visa processed, integrating into the crazy ways of American life through the eyes of an outsider and settling down. I actually came across Gillian through our experiences which when your going through the ordeal of moving overseas it's great knowing there is someone out there that is going through what you are even more so when I learnt she'd moved to Joe's home state of Pennsylvania which is a great way of me seeing and learning more about that state. If you enjoy my takes on American life as an expat then I'd highly suggest you pop over and say hello! 

Next up I'm glad to have luckily enough to have Megan's blog ad for October. Megan runs the blog Ta-Da a great crafty adventure who much like myself describes herself as being "a smidge all over the place". There's few things that make me want to knit but Ta-Da really does especially when Megan photographically documents a pieces process. Nevertheless even if your not a knitter but a crafter and a lover of life in general you'll certainly find some inspiration on Megan's blog! 

I've also been hosting an ad space for Lori who works has a Scentsy representative - you'll find the link for more details upon the right sidebar. I have a great sample and review of Scentsy goodies with a giveaway and details about becoming a Scentsy rep yourself coming next week. 

Fancy seeing your blog or online store here next month? Click for more details! 

September sponsors - part two

Using Passionfruit for my ad spaces has certainly being a benefit, and if your thinking of setting up for blog swaps then I would really recommend using them. Passionfruit also lets you sign up to be a sponsor throughout the month which means we have a part two introductory hello. Again I hope you can spare some time to pay them all a visit, say hello and perhaps make some new blog reads in the process. 

Kayla blog - The Rural Knitter is just celebrating her first full month of serious blogging and she's certainly making a mark in the blogging world. With a wonderful mix of lifestyle and crafts you not only get to see her cute bears she's knitted and who lounge in teacups to beautiful snapshots of her world in Newfoundland.

Another new sponsor to the blog for September is Helena who's blog is a great mix of beauty reviews, nail art, everyday life to some gorgeous photographs of her travels. Her recent photographs of Thailand have been giving me itchy feet to see some more of the world!

Finally I'm welcoming back Bex from Futures for another month of sponsoring my little blog. She's an amazing blogger and friend. If you like your blogs lifestyle and beauty based then you must check out Futures. You might even have spied my guest post on Futures this week while Bex has been having a break in Rome [lucky girl!].

If you fancy seeing your blog or online store advertised in the same places next month, just head to my sponsorship page for more details - there's a range of sizes and prices to suit everyone! While I do have the option for blog swaps, please bare in mind I'm currently fully booked till December.

Drum roll to the new sponsors

A new month and some new blog sponsors. This is the second month of doing sponsors on LOTS so i'm always looking for new ways for growing my blog and helping other bloggers out in growing their audience and I'd love you to find some new great reads in this lot! So make sure you get clicking those pretty buttons in my sidebar!

First I'd love to introduce you to Sarah's blog Life in a Break Down. What is great about Sarah's blog is the impressive mix between lifestyle, blog hops and beauty posts. Not only that but her honesty and personality really shine through.

You might recall my blog giveaway for a free advertising slot for September. Well I'm glad to introduce you to the winner - Anastasia who blogs over on the very pretty blog Dainty Desires. If you love your blogs to be a great mixture of lifestyle and beauty posts then you can't go wrong with playing this lovely girl a visit.

I'm more then happy to be hosting Claire for another month. The more I read clareabellemakes the more crafty missions I want to go on - even getting me attempting to remake some friendship bracelets I haven't even attempted at crafting since I was about seven. Whether your an actual crafter or someone who admires those who are, you'll find something creative and certainly inspiring.

If you love your blogs being a great mixture of all things lifestyle, personal, photography and all things vintage [well you probably are because that's what my blogs all about] then you'll love Razu's blog Princess Corner. Blogging from El Salvador is a girl after my own heart with her mix of tea, vintage finds and adventures. 

Following on with the crafty themed blogs we have the addition of Karen from the quintonwench - a lifestyle meets craft blogger. I've already got some great Christmas crafty ideas but there's plenty of projects for the home - I'm particularly loving these twine balls and these British jam jar tealight holders and I love her photographs of her family adventures.

The second smaller blog I'm helping to promote this month is the US based blog Ave Renee. Not only does she have a dog called Moose [seriously how cool?!] but her blog managed to creatively collide everything in a girls life.

A month in and I've adapted passionfruits as my way of organising blog ads [although you can still purchase any ad spot outside of using this app]. Hopefully it'll make buying and organising spots a little easier. So whatever size your blog or online store is, there's a size of ad and a price to fit all of you. There's even TWO FREE blog swaps a month [well every 30 days] - although as I write this there's only one left. Additionally passionfruits lets me upload ads throughout the month and stores your ad up till there's a space if it's fully booked. Make sure to check out my sponsor page for more details.

Giveaway winner and September sponsorship!

Do you too fancy adding your blog/online store to the list for September too? It couldn't be any easier!

What could be better then reaching out to my readers on both side of the Atlantic especially for my birthday month?! You can find more details here.

Say hello to the August sponsors!

August is the first month of sticking up blog sponsors for LOTS so I want to take the time out to say thank you to everyone that's got involved or shown interest. Part of the sponsorship I'm offering is a group mass shout out as a thank you and hopefully as a way for you the readers to find some new blogs if you haven't come across them all ready!

So lets get to it, here's five fabulous blog reads for August! 

Claire who blogs over at Clareabellemakes is a girl after my own heart with all her crafting adventures from covering flower pots and jam jars to DIY washi tapes - there is a little bit of everything crafty. Whether you new to crafting or an expert Claire really does have something for everyone! She's also just opened her Etsy shop so make sure you stop by and say hello!

If your a fan of all things vintage like myself, Jem and her wonderful blog Beautiful Clutter will be right up your alley. Not only does she have an amazing eye for spying beauty in old random finds, she has a tea cup collection anyone would be jealous off! I can always image us both having find rummaging for vintage goodies together!

Bex is a friend I'm glad to have made through blogging and we near enough have a daily catch up on twitter. Her blog Futures is a great collection of reads whatever your interest. Not only does Bex cover life as a first time mum to her sweetie Jack but she had some great weekly blog hook ups!

The Glitter of Sunshine is a relatively new blog in the blogging world and one new to me too. Run by Sierra Catherine there is a great mix of lifestyle, life lists, letters and dreamy photographs to keep every blog reader interested!

My Life As Mindy is a great lifestyle blog and one of the reasons why I'm coming to love Mindy's blog more and more is that there really is a bit of everything to read about. What more could you want as a reader?!

Make sure you go and say hello to everyone and look out for a giveaway in the next week or so for an ad spot for September to celebrate LOTS 3rd blogging birthday!
