We've been married for almost four months now - but me moving to London 3 months ago has been the first time we've lived on the same continent in more than 6 years.
And before that,
And before that,
We weren't even dating.
Yeah,
It's a long story.
I digress.
poor me.
Spending South African Rands whilst trying
to buy things in London Pounds is no joke.

YAY! For online store!!
A brand new online shop -
A brand new online shop -
"things" including.... date books || illustrated recipe books || wedding guestbooks || 'trash-books' || cards || DIY kits || design work || web design || children's books || personalised cartoons etc etc etc.
I want to do ALL the things.
(which is clearly not possible - *needs direction*)
(which is clearly not possible - *needs direction*)
So,
so... if you can't grant me the scholarship for me
(which I think you should)
Then do it for my husband.
And
But really,
I do believe that I am an excellent candidate for The Blogcademy scholarship because:
- I have a lot of creative ideas {too many, not enough hours in the day - they need to be streamlined/focused/directed (?!)} and I don't really know what to do with them, how to market them/execute them and/or how to take them to the next level. I need help with actualising my creativity into a viable career.
- I'm in the process of building a new website and online store (YAY SELF!) - and I would love some expert branding/guidance/advice with the launch of that new venture. The Blogcademy is the perfect platform in every sense.
- I have been approached several times by (South African) google-ad type advertisers asking to host flashing banners on my blog. Every time I have
ninja-chopped-them-in-the-facesaid, "NO", because I don't want to be a sell-out. But... am starting to think maybe it is time I start generating some income from my blog? how? - I would absolutely love to be part of such an exciting, interactive and dynamic experience - not only meeting a group of 30 like-minded UK bloggers, but having three of the most internationally successful bloggers in the industry to answer my hundreds of technical/practical/creative and business questions, is more than I would ever be able to get from reading any website/forum or book (and I've read plenty).
-
I would love to soak up all the stories, experiences, advice and be inspired by three of the most prolific bloggers in the industry. And also - possibly stroke Kat's pink hair {in a non-creepy way}.
But above all -
PS. I have decided that I am going to SPAM the Blogcademy headmistresses with my scholarshipentry campaign - they will be so annoyed with me that they will accept my scholarship application just to make me stop. I realise this is a rather risky strategy and has the potential to make me look both needy and desperate. My response to this is:
I am.
So lovely indieBerries readers and fans (hi mom),
- go forth on your twitters and tell @theblogcademy just how much you think
@indieberries needs to be part of their possé.
and TOMORROW!
BLOGCADEMY DIY!
