Collaborative Blog Events
- The 2009 Trick Or Treat Blog Party was created and coordinated by Brooke McLay of CheekyKitchen.com (formerly Tongue-N-Cheeky). Collaborating with eight of the blogosphere’s most creative food and lifestyle bloggers, including Heather Bailey, NotMartha.org, Recipe Girl, Dinner with Julie, and Kitchen Scraps, this highly successful web event invited readers into an online trick-or-treating experience. You can view my post here.
- The 2009 Ultimate Baker’s Dozen Christmas Cookie Exchange brought together thirteen food bloggers for a unique, online holiday recipe party. As a featured participant, I worked with the likes of Tartelette, Skip To My Lou, My Baking Addiction, Dinner with Julie, Kitchen Scraps, Alexandra Hedin, Closet Cooking, and Sophistimom to create the Christmas Cookie exchange every girl dreams of! You can view my post here.
All in Good Fun
- Flo’s Progressive Helper. I simply had to try!
- The Solo Star Recipe Video Contest. My first ever contest entry. All I won was a sink full of dishes to clean up after the filming.
