Introducing my brand-new sister site!

I think today is a day to celebrate. Not only have I introduced a new contributor here at Everything Up Close but I also have another secret I have been holding back. I am truly surprised I didn't leak information sooner because I hate keeping secrets like this. The surprise is...there is another new addition to the Everything Up Close family...my new sister site Everything 'In the Kitchen' Up Close. It is just like Everything Up Close with all the reviews and giveaways but with the added benefit of being specified to kitchen and food related items and information. In addition to reviews and giveaways, there will be several other features such as recipes, meal planning information, guest writers and a featured food blog each and every week! I am really looking forward to this new adventure and I hope you are too!

If you have a food related blog that you think I would like and you would like it featured on Everything 'In the Kitchen' Up Close, you are in luck! I am currently taking submissions. Simply email me with the name of your blog, your URL and some basic information about what your blog is all about. I'd also like to know, from your point of view, why your blog stands out from other food related blogs.

Since this new blog wouldn't have happened without the support of all my readers, I want to thank you all! Thank you so much to everyone who has been with me since the beginning and to those of you who are new readers. I am grateful that you have made my blog the success it is. If my new blog is even half as successful as this one, I'll be ecstatic.

Finally, to celebrate the opening of my brand new blog, I will be having a Grand Opening Event, which starts on March 9th. Be sure to subscribe to my Everything 'In the Kitchen' Up Close Newsletter to ensure you don't miss out on all the fun! I look forward to seeing you all there!

Feel free to grab my new button. Having my button on your blog will count as an extra entry once the giveaways are up and running.
