MEA CULPA !

My link and the name of the new blog I told you about yesterday was wrong. So much for trying to blog and carry on a family conversation. My apologies to my friends who created this new blog for all you romantics out there. I've corrected the original post.

The correct name is ROMANCE YOUR SPOUSE. Take another look! Today they've added a contest for Valentine's Day.

An another thing I forgot to point out. This blog is the creation of the wonderful folks at Tekeme, Ashley and George Weiss. Check them out, too. They usually have a contest going on for cool stuff or discounts on their creative work.

Have a great weekend!

DESIGN GRAB BAG

My friends, George and Ashey Weiss, the uber-cool people from Tekeme Studios (hint: they designed this blog for me:-)) are sponsoring another contest -- DESIGN Grab Bag. There are a number of items you might win by leaving a comment on their blog site. This couple does a great job, and since they are just getting established, now is the time to take advantage of their super services. Perhaps you'll be a winner.

Two "Cool" Sites for Authors

It's here! The Christian Fiction Online e-zine! The brain child of Bonnie Calhoun at CFBA, Michelle Hutchinson Sutton is the editor of the newest, grooviest place to read about your favorite authors and catch the latest industy buzz from a huge line-up of authors, editors, agents, and other industry professionals. Click on the magazine cover above to take you there. Once you're there, click the cover to see inside. Then, have a cuppa your favorite summer brew and enjoy!

Also, in case you've missed their earlier promos, Tekeme Studios is offering another monthly contest. This time you can win a discounted Basic Identity Package or a free blog design. Curious? Check it out here.

EXTREME MAKEOVER

How do you like the new look here at Carla’s Writing Café? All the credit goes to Ashley and George Weiss from Tekeme Studios. I heard about them from my friend, Mary, after they designed a new blog for her. This amazing couple really knows how to design with the customer’s dream vision in mind. I happened to be one of the winners in a recent contest from Tekeme, but their everyday prices are very reasonable, with exceptional hands-on attention. Plus, they are very fast. Check out their current contest here, and while you’re there, look at some of their blog and website designs. You might be next for a great makeover on your site. THANK YOU, Ashley and George!

Now, to celebrate my good fortunate, I’m giving away a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card. That way you may choose to buy books or splurge in the café while writing on your novel. It’s easy to enter. Leave a comment on this post with contact information. I’ll draw for a winner at noon on June 30.

If this is your first time to visit the café, I hope you’ll have a look around and then sign up for an email subscription in the FeedBlitz box in the upper right hand corner. I wouldn’t want you to miss future contests or any café happenings. If you’re a regular here, thank you for your support. You are a dear bunch of friends, coffee afficionados, fellow-writers, and lovers of books. What could be better than that?
