I'm A Little Blog Angel


For those who have followed me for a while, you know I'm involved in a wonderful project called "Be A Blog Angel" hosted by Craftbotic Q and Dreamy Meadow. It's an awesome way to help another blogger anonymously and also discover a cool blog you never knew existed!  

Well, it's that time again for me to let you know what I've been up to as a blog angel without giving any spoilers away as to who I've been helping...which is hard sometimes :)

The blog I've been partnered up with is really cool and I have a blast reading her posts. She talks about food, her family, arts and crafts, DYI projects, organizations tips...you name it! It's never a dull read over there. As her angel, I've tried to leave as many comments as possible and keep my eye out for anything else I can do. I have done something else, but if I say it, she'll know that I'm talking about her.

Secret Blog Angel Reveal!

My time as a secret blog angel for the month of June has come to an end :( But at least I get to finally tell guys about the wonderful lady and her blog I've been helping with. Please meet...

BROOKE @ COVERED IN GRACE

This beautiful, talented lady has so much going on I don't even know where to start. When I first visited her blog I knew right off that I was going to have to be a regular follower. I love how she calls herself a wannabe photog because all of the pictures on her blog are beautiful. Her 30 before 30 post is so creatively done that it inspired me to do one of my own. You guys just have to go meet Brooke and take your time enjoying her blog!

What Did I Do As Her Blog Angel?
First off, I volunteered an item for a giveaway that she was hosting during June. It turned out awesome! Brooke wanted a super nice giveaway for her followers and I believe she delivered. There were so many prizes, she made up 3 prize packs from them!

Besides just offering up a prize, I also mentioned about Brooke's giveaway on my blog, Twitter, and Facebook accounts. Hey, if you're going to help someone out you have to go all the way. Needless to say her giveaway was a huge success! I'm thankful that I was able to be a part of that :)

I also commented on a lot her blog posts. And get this guys...she replied to all of them! I know as a blogger, we love to get comments from our readers. But as a reader, it was nice for Brooke to reply back not only timely, but also using my name. It was very personal.

Now it's your turn. Go visit Brooke over at Covered in Grace and get to know her a little more like I did. You won't be disappointed!

Shh....I'm a Secret Blog Angel!

About a month ago, I signed up to be a "Blog Angel" for the month of June. It's a way to help a fellow blogger secretly that was set up by Katlyn at Dreamy Meadow and Rosie at Craftbotic. It's been so much fun helping out and getting to know the blogger I was assigned to. Of course since it's a secret, I can't tell you guys who she is. I would hate for her to stumble upon this post and ruin the surprise before the end of the month. But I can share with you a little insight on my experience as a blog angel.

What have you learnt about yourself from helping another blogger?
Even though I'm new at this blogging gig, I can still help out someone who's been at it for a while. I might not know how to make blog buttons, but I do know how to leave comments. And trust me, us bloggers love it when our readers leave comments! So I've learned to never underestimate the talents I have, whether small or big, could help someone else.

How have you made time to help someone else out?
I try to visit her blog at least twice a week to see if there is anything I can help out with. So far, I've left comments and offered some items for a giveaway she's hosting. I really hope this doesn't give me  away :)

Have you been trying to work out who is helping you or are you more concerned with helping others?
In the beginning I did try to figure out who was helping me, but to no avail. That's probably my fault though. When I signed up to be a blog angel, one of the things I wanted help with was blog design and buttons. Well, a few weeks before the blog angel started, I was able to get all of that done complimentary by a fabulous lady named Sue. I apologize if this has frustrated my blog angel to no end. Maybe they're helping me in other areas that I just haven't noticed yet. Hmm...

How does being a Blog Angel affect your experience of blog land?
Blog land is so huge! LOL! For someone like me who is still kind of new to this, I'm loving the fact of meeting new people through the one blog that I'm helping. I'm not only getting to know her, but her sponsors, the people she sponsors, and other blogs that she likes. I'ts been awesome!
