Summer’s officially here in Texas.  

Other than “cold fronts” that bring us down to the mid 90’s and lots of pool time, do you know what that means?

We’re getting closer and closer to the Declare Blogging Conference 2013!

Do you see the cute little countdown ticker over on the side bar —->?
As I’m writing this, it says ONLY 39 Days until the Declare Blogging Conference 2013…

Squee!!!

Final planning is in full swing, details are falling into place, and life is both unbelievably busy and exciting for the Declare Team these days.  

In fact, this very morning, we’re meeting at the hotel to go over details and logistics, meet with the worship band, chat with our decorator, plan tomorrow’s Twitter party, and more.

Most importantly though, we’ll be putting our heads and hearts together to pray  for God’s continued guidance and provision, both for the final days of preparation, and for everyone who will be attending, from bloggers to speakers and sponsors.

One of the ongoing prayers on the hearts of the Declare Team has been for God to provide opportunities for bloggers (who otherwise might not be able) to attend the Declare Blogging Conference 2013.

We’re ridiculously excited to be able to announce three, yes, we said THREE!, creative and free ways for you to attend Declare Conference. 

1. The sweet gals over at HelloMornings are sponsoring a FREE Ticket to the Declare Blogging Conference 2013!   Check out all the details here.  And just in case you missed it, you’ll want to read their post about the special HelloMornings meetup at Declare on Saturday morning!  Super fun.
2. Mercy House Kenya is another Declare Sponsor offering a chance to win a FREE Ticket to Declare.  Check out We Are That Family.org for the announcement and details coming 7/2!
3. Declare’s Best Kept Secret:  Did you know you can EARN the opportunity to have your Declare Blogging Conference 2013 Ticket price fully refunded?  That’s right!  This one is a free ticket you can earn, rather than win through a giveaway.
   Why would we do that?
   Easy!  We’d love your help spreading the word to bloggers about Declare, and we want to reward your efforts for helping us out. So…we are going to refund the purchase price of a ticket for the attendee who refers the most bloggers to buy a Declare Blogging Conference 2013 ticket!  Check out the details here.   (Psst:  The entries for this are really low…  Snag a few friends to come with you, and start earning this freebie!)

Last, but definitely not least…

You’re invited to a Declare Twitter Party tomorrow night!
