I really can’t believe it’s going to be September already! I’m actually pretty excited because this means that I can start posting Halloween tutorials without looking like I’m too far ahead! :P Last year I posted several Halloween tutorials during the months of September & October and they were very popular so I plan on doing it again this year!

I’ve had a sale going all Summer where if you use code “SUMMER50″ you’d get 50% off any ad size. The sale will be ending September 10th so you still have time to use it. If you know that you’re going to want to sponsor in coming months, you can use this code to buy multiple months by changing the quantity when checking out. Other than that, ad spots will be back up to full price after September 10th.

If you’d like to be a sponsor, you can get more info and see prices here. And of course, feel free to email me if you have any questions or need me to design an ad for you: gleefulthings@gmail.com :)

If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor in August, you can still take advantage of the 50% off deal I’m offering for Summer by using code “Summer50″. And now you’ll get a lot more ad for your money because…

Ad sizes have gotten BIGGER but the prices have stayed the same! I’ve changed up my blog layout a bit and now the sidebar is huge! You can see my current stats, read more about ad spots, and purchase an ad on this page.

Sponsoring isn’t just about advertising though. All of the money that I make through selling ads goes back into the blog. I love posting patterns, tutorials, and DIY projects for you to enjoy but honestly, I can’t afford to buy supplies for everything I’d like to share here. So if you do choose to sponsor, know that you’re helping me create fun stuff for the blog, for you and all my readers to enjoy! If you would like to help out, I would love it if you’d consider sponsoring this month! :)

If you’re interested in sponsoring Gleeful Things in June, please take a peek at the sponsorship info page! June is going to be a really fun month! There will be four new, freshly released crochet patterns, which means the blog will be busy busy!

I’m going to spend June playing tourist in my own town while I show my cousin visiting from out of state all of the awesome stuff we have around here. I’m looking forward to making lots of posts about our adventures and showing you around California!

June is going to be a great time to be a part of Gleeful Things so I hope you’ll consider sponsorship. I have ads spots for as little as $4, and as usual, the money I get from sponsorships goes directly towards supplies for new patterns and tutorials that you’ll get to enjoy in the near future! :)

It’s a big week for changes around here I suppose! I’ve decided to make some changes to how sponsorships work.

♥ I’m no longer going to be doing “meet my sponsors” group introduction posts. Instead, I’ll be offering an unlimited number of featured sponsor spots (previously, I only allowed one each month). The featured sponsor spots include a large ad + an individual introduction post that includes an interview with you.

♥ Large and small ads are still available as usual but now without an introduction post.

♥ I also added another option, which is great for anyone who is on a budget or maybe just wants to experiment with advertising. Now you can buy small ads in half month increments for only $4!

♥ I started using a service called PassionFruit to manage my ads and it allows you to upload your ad when buying. So as soon as I approve it (within 24 hours), your ad will be live! So you no longer have to wait until the beginning of the month!

If you’d like to read more about sponsorships, please take a peek at this page. :)

I hope everyone will take a few minutes to get to know these six lovely ladies and help me welcome them to my blog!  Please check out their links and send them some love! Thank you so much for sponsoring Gleeful Things for the month of April! I’m happy to have you be a part of my blog! :)

I’m originally an artist, and then went to school for Graphic Design and Illustration in 2004. I started making monsters in December of 2008 as a project to further my design career, but that stopped in its tracks. 2 years later I decided that maybe I should start selling them when I got some really positive comments, and now I’ve been making them full time since April 2011. I now live in Montréal, Québec, Canada, and I am starting my own business making and selling handmade plush monsters and animals. What is the best part about my plush dolls? They give joy and happiness to my customers, and also a best friend.

Hi. My name is Natasha and I am Bamboo Blossom. I live in a beautiful little village in South Africa with my boyfriend and our three dogs. I make handbags and other accessories from upcycled fabrics. I love giving something old a new life and I hate throwing anything away. I’m absolutely addicted to buying big bags with fabric scraps from charity shops.  My blog is your glimpse into my life. I post about things I make for my Etsy shop and for myself, recipes I try, places I go and all kinds of other things I get up to.  I look forward to your visit.
