Alyssa at Keeping the Kingdom First has a wonderful challenge for the month of November.
She has invited us to “take a leap of faith and give (in some fashion) every day this month.”
What a perfect challenge to enter into a season of thanks.
And I wondered…
Can I do that? I can I give away something to someone every day for the next thirty days?
Can I be a blessing in someone else’s life by being generous?
Can I glorify God by using the talents he gave me?
And here is what I came up with…
I’m sorry! I have heard from thirty people and will be working on their requests.
I would be glad to help you design a button or header for your blog,
but the freebies have been taken up.
If you are still interested, I am available for hire…
I charge $5 for a button
and $12 for a header (or get both for $15).
If you are interested, send me an email using the button in my sidebar.

I would love a new header for my school blog. (Not my personal one.) What a kind offer!
I would love to have a new button/header. Thanks so much for your generosity!
Sharon, this is such a great idea! Absolutely love it. What a great way to give.
I'm not in need of a button or header, but I know this will be a blessing to others.
This is such a beautiful idea and opened my mind to think of things along the same lines. Thank you and I would love to accept your offer.
What a precious gift! I really don't need one or maybe I do…not sure…but just wanted to tell you what a beautiful blog you have!
What a blessing for someone!
Too precious!
Blessings to you!

Ooh how exciting! I would love a new ANYTHING on my blog…it's pretty bland! How generous of you!
What a great idea! I'd love a new header (or button) for my blog….I'm just not that creative when it comes to that!
Misty @ the newsome family!
Sharon, I did this last year and it was so life changing for me! I absolutely loved it. Some days were hard, some were easy, but each was eye opening. I challenge you to not only do things for people you know, but to also do things for perfect strangers that you meet. It's amazing what blessings GIVING bring to your life as well.
Here is a link to my posts from then: http://www.sowonderfulsomarvelous.com/search/label/29%20Gifts%20Challenge
I can't wait to read your journey! Can you tell I'm a little passionate about it?
What an awesome way to give! I'm so excited about doing this challenge! I've been wanting a new header for my blog, but have no idea how to do it. http://www.joyfuladorations.blogspot.com
Thanks so much!!
Hi Sharon,
Great post–I've seen a few people mention this giving challenge–I think it's an awesome thing to focus on this month! I'm going to give it a try as well.
Rather than have you make a button/graphic for me, I would love to get some tips or ideas on how to actually do it. I made my own button a while ago using my daughter's artwork and a basic art program (might have been Picasa), and I am not happy with it. But I'd love to me able to make a better one on my own. Just a thought. . .thanks!
Sharon,
You are so generous! I just published a post on this very topic. I haven't read the blog you mention, but I will be checking it out.
I'm inspired by your generosity!

I love this idea! Not only do I love it because I would be the beneficiary (hee, hee) but I love it because you're using your skills to bless someone else. How often do we tell ourselves we have nothing to give, when all it takes is using your abilities (like baking or sewing) to make other lives blessed?
I think I'd love to do this challenge, too. I'm willing to give it a shot, anyways.
what a beautiful and kind offer, Sharon. I'd love to be a receiver of your generosity.
(and am inspired by the 30 days of giving challenge…beautiful way to enter this season)
I love the header for my class blog! Thanks for the blessing!
Please include me. Oh what a wonderful giveaway. That's so nice of you. Have an amazing week

Hey! So excited about the new header!! Thank you!
Oh, gosh, I am so stupid…I was trying to figure out how I was going to give away FASHION!! haha. I get it now…a lovely idea. I'm going to do some real thinking on this.
Thank you.
Blessings to you! I just joined in on the challenge. It feels so good!
I am going to read up on the challenge again! I am so IN NEED of a blog button and have been TRYING to figure out how 2 myself. I would be HONORED with a little help on that. I found a photo of a sunflower and was going to try to work with that this weekend. But if you know how!
Wow so generous! I would be interested if you haven't hit your cap. No hurry, anytime is fine.
Thanks!
What an amazingly generous offer! I have the most boring generic Blogger site in the world. I would be so incredibly excited to have a new header- I've never had anything unique or special. Thanks for the chance– I understand if you hit your cap or get too busy!
A new Menu Plan Monday button would be fabulous. Very generous of you!
Love this post and I am thinking of what I could do. If they are still available, I would love a button.
Thanks….

oh, I've never had a button. It would be cool to have some help. It looks like you've had alot of requests so if you don't get to me, that's fine! Thanks for your generous offer.
I'd love a button!
What a great idea!

This is an amazing offer and I would love to get a header/button for my blog if you have not reached 30! And if you have, no problem – awesome idea!

I just stumbled upon this challenge and am truly amazed. What an awesome thing!
I would love a header for my new family blog.
ourfekenfamily.blogspot.com
As you can see, it's kind of…well, blank.
What a wonderful idea!
What a creative way to give back!! Thanks so much for linking up– I am loving SITS!! I get to visit all kinds of new blogs!!
I saw the comment you posted on Money Saving Mom, and I would be thrilled with a new header (assuming I make the cut of 30). That is extremely generous of you and it would be so appreciated by a new blogger like myself!
Me too. A header would be truly appreciated.
Actually, a simple button would be just as great. My blog is pretty plain. But God has really pressed on my heart lately the need to be more honest about how I really save money… I pray: for coupons, for my menu, for sales, for God opening my eyes so I can find what I need right away, for courage to put something back, even if it's a good deal, if we don't need it. I've never talked about this in my blog though I regularly share it when I speak at women's events.
It's the good, true and beautiful about my frugality– God has taught me more about Himself through clipping coupons. I can't even begin to imagine what a button would look like for that. But if you would be willing, I'll gladly accept the blessing.

Looks like I'm unlucky number 32, but I'm still going to pop in with a hello. I've been thinking I need a button to be like all the "cool bloggers" out there.
If you're over your cap, I would be willing to hire your services for this task, especially if you could give me some pointers to do it myself another time. Thanks!

If you still have room, I would love to have a button for my blog!! I was just googling "how to make a button for your blog" last week, and didn't find anything that was user friendly for a non-computer person like myself.

Thanks!
I would love to have a new button for my blog… Take a look at what I have and let me know what you think. Hope you still have room!!
I need a new button for a series I just started called a season of cooking! I totally would love this!
This is almost too good to be true!! I'm really hoping that I've made it into the last few spots you have available … I've been "wishing" for a button for quite sometime (http://myreasonstoblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/wishing-on-star.html)
THANKS for the opportunity!!!!!
I'd love a header if you still have an open spot. You are so kind to even offer your services to so many people. Thank you:)

I see you have more than 30 comments but do you have 30 yet?? I would love to get a button from you!
