So here are my 3 tips on how to get new followers to your site.

Promote, Promote, Promote.

So how do you promote? Be vigilant to get the word out.

1. Take Good pictures and entice people to drool. It does not have to be food pictures it can be something silly your kids did or something you created like handmade cards. Great pictures get anybody talking. Leave a link to your site you will be surprised how many will want to click and know more. Be sure to share your pictures on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. Fore example my post on Turkey Vegetable Tray

2. Write enticing headlines. Use words or acronyms like “OMG! Did you see this?” Show excitement and your posts will be viewed and shared.

3. Ask questions. We like to answer questions and so does your fans. Be sure to reply back to those who answer the more you communicate to fans the more others will see that and want to join in and even share your posts.

Bonus. Give step by step instructions on how to do a project. Link to other projects you have done and given tutorial on them. Fans like to learn how easy and simple things can be done for example How to Make a Pirate Treasure Chest Pinata

Essentially you need to have a block party. This is after all an outreach ministry or at least it should be for each church. The goal of VBS is to bring children and possibly the parents as well to Christ.

So with outreach as your goal you need to make your end of VBS party a family event. Highly encourage your VBS participants to bring their families. Have your even immediately after VBS on the last day.

Serve food and refreshments. Hotdogs, chips and cookies are a good start. Make sure you stress it is FREE.

Remember I said block party? Yes you need to have a bounce house or something big and exciting that kids will want to stay making it harder for parents to say no to staying around. Have some other games like bean bag tosses and maybe a Photobooth.

Whatever you do make sure you make it a family event. Have a craft table and make sure to play some music perhaps having the VBS sound track on repeat.

LED Light Review

This is a sponsored post. The opinions expressed below are my Husbands, Jon. He was not influenced by the Company or PR Agency representing the company.

The other day, I wanted to turn on a lamp to read a book.  A couple of feet from my face, the heat from the halogen bulb was slightly annoying.  Growing up, bulbs give off heat.  During the summer, we would keep the lights off as much as possible during the day to save on air conditioning.  However, in recent years, LEDs have changed things.  My family bought two emergency LED lanterns.  Unlike traditional kerosene or incandescent lanterns, one can sleep with these lanterns next to their heads and not worry about a burn. 

The heat from the halogen bulb was a minor inconvenience to be sure, but one that I did not have to tolerate since with a spare LED around the house.  In fact, I am typing this review underneath the lamp and although the light has been turned on for about an hour, the bulb is still cool to the touch (though the metal casing at the base of the bulb is warm).  Only a few years ago, one could tell a big difference in light quality between an LED and an incandescent.  However this LED is indiscernible and you would not know if I did not tell you.  Then again, you could always touch the bulb to find out. 

You can purchase a Reveal LED HERE and try it for yourself.

My kids thought these little turkey’s were fun. They are easy to make and delicious.

Wow your friends and family with these personalized Captain America Party Invitations. A little extra effort goes a long way!

What you Need:

– Scrapbooking Tape or Glue

– Red, White, Blue Cardstock

– Scissors or Cutting Machine (i.e. Silhouette Cameo or Cricut)

How to Make:

1. First you need to determine the number of invites you need to make, this will help determine the number of each shape you can cut on each sheet of paper.

2. Lets start with the shapes you need. First you will need 4 sizes of circles varying in 1/2 inch difference. You will also need a star that fits within the smallest circle.

3. Your largest circle will be your white backing and base. This circle should not be any bigger than 4 1/2 inches depending on the size of your envelopes.

4. Next you will cut 2 rims out of red. The first will be as big as the base with a 1/4 inch inner diameter ring. You will then have a second rim that starts about 1/4 inch from the first rim allowing about 1/4 inch rim of white to show through.

5. The last circle you will need to cut is blue that is the base for the star. This circle should fit just inside the smaller red rim.

6. Lastly you will cut out the white Star.

(These shapes can be cut easily with a Cricut Machine or Silhouette Cameo)

Not a Free hand type person! Don’t worry I got you covered you can find the shapes here that I use to cut out my Captain America Shield Invitations Pattern Shapes.

Putting it all together!

1. First start with the white base. If you are printing party information you can do so by using the print and cut option on the silhouette cameo or first printing out your info and then tracing your circle around the text.

2. Add glue or scrapbooking tape to the back of the largest red rim and adhering it to the white base.

3. Then add glue or scrapbooking tape to the back of the second red rim and adding that to your white base. Be sure to keep 1/4 inch in diameter to allow the white to show through.

4. Apply glue or scrapbooking tape  to the blue circle. Add the blue circle within the second red rim.

5. Apply glue or scrapbooking to the white star. Center your white star within the blue circle.

That’s It! You are Done!
