The 500 Mark


My goal for The Southern Eclectic this year is to reach 500 followers by December 31.

That seemed like such a huge stretch back in January when I had around 120. Now, at nearly 450, the goal is certainly in sight and I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am. How happy I am. How humbled I am that you all keep coming back day after day.

Thank you.

So, I want to do something fun for hitting the 500 mark whenever that day comes...but what?

This is where you come in! Think! Give me suggestions and ideas! Nothing is too crazy. That said, I have already been sky-diving and will not do so again now that I have children, and as much as I would love to {really}, I cannot bungee jump because I have broken both my neck and my back. I am thinking something like...oh I don't know...post a video of me making a total fool of myself trying to do 50 pull-ups. Or smash a cake in my face. Or adopt an animal that you all can name. {The second Biz reads that last sentence I will hear a, "Sheeeerrrridannn! We are NOT getting any more animals!!!} Ok so those are lame ideas... It could be something simple like have another giveaway. Everything is on the table! I am not sure how many responses I will get to this - hopefully a lot! - but once I see how many come in I'll figure out the best way to pick one.

Be creative! Can't waaaaaait to hear what you come up with. Happy weekend!

xoxo Sheridan

  1. Hmmm, this may be TOO much of an option, but may let your followers vote on a fabric and pattern for a clothing item - ? If that doesn't work, I like the animal option :)

  6. I vote for sheridan french discount, or a reader Q/A. simple stuff thats not too personal (no social security numbers). Maybe how you and the hubs met? How you got to this place in your life? The usual stuff. Just a suggestion.

  9. Donate a wardrobe (few key pieces) to a VERY rewarding person... a woman who needs some assistance or could really do with a lucky break. Your followers (all 500 of them) get to make recommendations and vote.

  13. Everyone is in love with your line, so I would do something with it. Maybe make a maxi dress, shawl, headband, obi belt in one of your prints and call it the "500"?

    That is a tough one!!!
