Two Year Blogging Anniversary + The Surprise Give-away Winner is...

{Today marks my two-year blogging anniversary, Yay! I am so grateful to have each of you following this blog. Thank you sincerely! As mentioned on many occasions, if you became a follower before Noon March 21, 2010 you would automatically be eligible to win a surprise give-away...}



{I am pleased to announce, "Maria" won the following book:}

(Maria: Please contact me at "cmoisimplyseductive@gmail.com" with your address and this book will be shipped directly to you! {p.s. current and future followers up to June 21, 2010 will be automatically entered to win a snake-skin clutch purse, if I've reached 1000 followers by that date. Spread the word to ensure I reach my goal and I will enter your name five more time!})

Good Morning + Surprise Give-away

{Good Monday morning! A bit of yellowy images to hopefully get your week off to a good start... Sadly, it appears I will not meet my goal of 1000 followers by March 21, 2010 which is the date of my upcoming second anniversary of blogging. Regardless, I am SO HAPPY with the results to date, that I have decided to provide a surprise mid-point give-away and to extend the 1000 follower goal to June 2010, keeping the snake-skin clutch as the final give-away! The winner of the surprise mid-point giveaway will be announced on Sunday, March 21, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. EST. Everyone who is a follower up to Noon EST Sunday, March 21, 2010 will be automatically entered to win the surprise mid-point give-away! Have a great week.}

Weekend Signoff :) + A Special Blogroll Friendship Project

(First of all, I would like to thank every single person who has visited this blog! I am truly grateful for your visits, comments and especially, for those who have chosen to become followers ~ yay now at 285!

As you may know, I am determined to reach 1000 followers by my second year anniversary of blogging, which is in March 2010 {Update: has been extended to June 2010}! Your help would be greatly appreciated. I truly believe in the spirit of the blog community, so lets help each other out!

Whereas the bottom bar of a blog is normally reserved for sponsors or advertisement, that's not the case here at Simply Seductive. Rather, I propose to put your blog banner and link to your blog at the bottom of my blog from now to June 2010 if you dedicate a post on your blog encouraging your readers to visit and more importantly to follow Simply Seductive! Let me know if you're interested by e-mailing me at cmoisimplyseductive@gmail.com, or leave a comment to this post. Who will be the first?? Happy, happy weekend, lovelies. I hope its a great one!

A Blog Milestone + A Give-Away Contest

{March 2010 marked my second year anniversary of blogging for Simply Seductive. As much as I love blogging, you will no doubt know that it takes an incredible amount of time and effort to maintain a blog of high quality; with no less than two posts each day.

I measure my progress by the wonderful comments I receive and by the number of followers. I am aware there are many of you who visit this blog and are not followers. Well today, I hope to entice you to follow Simply Seductive and perhaps for you to encourage others to do so with a spectacular give-away of a snake-skin clutch from my personal handbag collection (see photographs below).

It is easy to qualify.  Simply become a follower of Simply Seductive and you will be automatically entered into the contest. Show evidence of encouraging others of following Simply Seductive and your name will be entered five more times. This can be done as simply as informing your readers of this give-away (either by tweeting about it or linking to this post on your blog) and letting me you've done so by leaving a comment to any of my posts. Current followers of Simply Seductive are automatically entered.

The give-away will be awarded on June 21, 2010 BUT only if I have reached 1000 followers by then. Yes, I realize this is a lofty goal, but I have always believed in dreaming BIG and I firmly believe in my blog. Help me to achieve my goal and you will be eligible to receive this beautiful snake-skin clutch. All the very best, Linda.

 Good luck and thank you in advance!}
