Danny Carlton (aka Jack Lewis) has a terrific new blog ad swap program. First, you create an ad and submit it. This is done very easily with a special ad generator Danny created. Then for every two ads shown on your site, one of your ads is shown on another blog in the network. The ads are shown based on categories you choose (such as homeschooling) so they are targeted to your blogs specific audience. Check it out. It's a great program that's bound to be a popular way of advertising your blog.

I created my ad using a graphic that I purchased as part of a package from a terrific graphic designer, Julia Bettencourt. The Country Court is her store. Not only does she sell her work, she has LOTS of freebies (for a link back to her site).

All the graphics you see in this post are her creation. I love her work. The colors are warm and the images inviting. They remind me of a Debbie Mumm or Mary Engelbreit. I've also used Julia's devotionals with church groups. Many of these she offers free as well. Check these out at Creative Ladies Ministry

Julia's graphics can be seen on the home page as well as on the Teachers' Lounge and Curriculum Fair pages of my site. Well, you get the idea that I think she's terrific, right?!

Until we meet in the teachers' lounge again, my friend,
