I started this blog during the 2008 elections for my granddaughter. Until a short time ago it was a private blog with just a few friends and family members able to read it. Several suggested I open it to the public. Since it has been open to the public for such a short time, my purpose for promoting is to promote conversation.Even though my stats show that I have a lot of viewers in such a short time, most of my FB friends go back to my page to comment because I share these post there as well as on Twitter.
A friend suggested I do something to promote my blog and get people to comment here as well so I have added the Question and Opinion for this week as well as....
Mem's Political Scrapbook will be giving away a handmade, one of a kind gift . Click more coverage if you are on home page to read how you can be the winner.

A name will be drawn from Followers Through FB and The Google Blog Follow. (You will find both on right side of blog. You do not have to be FB friend to follow through FB) If the Google Follow messes up the blog or slows it down I will remove it again but I'm sure you can follow by going to my profile and I am aware who is following.
Drawing will also include names of all who have contributed to this blog as well as those who participate through comments, conversation, etc. If you want to be in the drawing make sure to comment through your Open Id, Google or URL as Anonymous will obviously not be entered and will remain Anonymous. Prize Value Will Be At Least $35.00 and Up.
I Will list and show pictures of Prize at some point during the month. Links shown are just a few of the things I make and do to give you an idea of kind of prize you may get. I do much more that is not shown in shops.
Winner will be given several choices to choose from!
Many have asked why I started an online scrapbook and part of it has to do with my love for saving things. When I was a child I loved to put scrapbooks together. As an adult, not so much!
During the elections we had moved to a small town 80 miles NW of Austin and found that it was a "republican" town and any news in the two small papers covered only events about McCain and Palin so I decided I would get my news online and save it so that my Granddaughter would have the history of (what I felt to be) an historic election.
I will add that I am glad that I did because when President Obama won, the front page news here was McCain and Palin lose presidency to Obama. (huge picture of McCain/Palin) Nothing really in the article said a whole lot about the President winning accept to say our countries "first black President" in one of the lines of the article.
I was going to stop writing in the blog after the elections but things just kept happening that I thought my Granddaughter (she is now 11) should know about and remember....it's like I always tell her...it's always something......when you have the Countries first black President and I'm just as Proud of him today as I was the day he won!
So, have fun and welcome to my Scrapbook Blog!-Mem
