Welcome to the 116th week of Turn It Up Tuesday!
Here we are… the second week of December. What are you up to this last month of the year? We have been waking up each day excited to see where Jingles (our Elf on the Shelf) is every morning. If you follow me on social media then you have seen some of his tricks. If you don’t follow me yet, I invite you to do so. Just click on the links on the sidebar and let me know so I can follow you back.
Thank you for stopping by and linking up with us last week, and every week, as we have some fun linking up and getting to know each other! We had quite an amazing week last week, and it’s because of all of you! We are so happy to have you all join us for another amazing week!
Turn It Up Tuesdays is all about being happy, excited, energetic…and having fun! Link up all of your favorite posts (old or new) and meet some awesome bloggers in return! Link up your funny stories, DIY posts, recipes, mommy moments — anything at all. We want to laugh, be entertained, be inspired, and have a good time! Thanks so much to everyone that joins us each week and makes this link party the best that it could be!
SPONSOR OF THE MONTH
Our sponsor for December is Laina Turner, as she promotes her new book —
PLAN FOR SUCCESS: A Business Planning Toolkit for Bloggers and Authors.
Do you want to turn your blogging or writing hobby into a business? Do you wish you had a step-by-step guide to making your blog profitable? It starts with a business plan to outline the goals of your blog and the actions to achieve those goals.
Planning for Success: A Business Planning Toolkit for Bloggers and Authors will walk you through each step needed to build a business plan that works. The eBook and companion workbook will give you exercises on each of the important elements in a business plan so when you finish you will have a completed plan for success.
