Hello Fellow Bloggers!
I am hosting a blog challenge in September 2013.
It is aptly named September Sapphire Even Day Blog Challenge.
Why?
September is my birthday month. Sapphire is the birthstone. Like how I blinged out my pic above? Gotta love PicMonkey. I really enjoy connecting with new bloggers and I get to celebrate my birthday all month with all of you.
What?
The September Sapphire Even Day Blog Challenge will ask participants to blog about the writing prompts below only on the EVEN days of the month. That’s 15 posts. I will also be doing a giveaway and offering prizes to celebrate in true fashion.
When?
The challenge begins on Monday, September 2, 2013 and ends onMonday, September 30, 2013.
How?
Write and publish your posts corresponding to the 15 writing prompts below. A link-up will be available on my corresponding post each day of the challenge for you to link up your applicable post. So grab a button below for your site and spread the word. I look forward to reading everyone’s posts and meeting new bloggers. Because I appreciate the community that blogging provides and promotes, I will be following–via at least 1 form of social media–every person that links up. I hope you do the same for me and at least 2-3 other bloggers. I welcome participation in whatever form you can give it!
DON’T GET MAD, GET EVEN!

I will probably be lacking a bit on some of these posts because I'm so far behind on so many things, but I'm definitely having fun participating when I can 🙂

Hum, not sure where my comment went…can you check your spam. Anywho, you know I'm in! Will do my best to do most!
Girl, I am so ready for some serious blog makeover maintenance. You are “whitelisted” on my Intense Debate page, so you shouldn't be spammed. Yet sometimes my commenting system switches back to the Blogger template and “eats” my Intense Debate comments. Sorry about that girl. I appreciate the love. I'll be all up in your challenge on Sept. 16th.
