Blogtoberfest is an annual blogging festival and a wonderful opportunity to:
* challenge yourself to blog every day for 31 days
* discover kindred blogging spirits
* carve out a tiny slice of time each day to write and to read
* share any creative projects you have on the go
* host a giveaway, if you feel inclined to spread the love
In 2012, Blogtoberfest was hosted here @ I Saw You Dancing.
I am so grateful to Cathy aka {tinniegirl} for the opportunity to babysit this gorgeous blogging festival while she took a well-earned break. I was also delighted to make the acquaintance of the über-talented Cam aka CurlyPops, who provided invaluable guidance (and incredible panache) on the techie front.
