@jenwriter17 Heyo! Sure, I’d love to swap!! Could you leave a link where your blog is? (I’ve been crazy busy lately) 😛
@dragon-snapper Here’s the link: https://jennaterese.com/
I can just get your button from your website, but do you want me to email you my button?
@dragon-snapper By the way, I did the tag from your blog 😀 https://jennaterese.com/2018/08/04/the-name-full-book-tag/
Yup, emailing should work. You can contact me through the contact form on my blog. 🙂
(Also, yay! I love that tag. XD)
@jenwriter17
@dragon-snapper Okay, but am I able to put pictures into that contact form? or do you just want me to contact you so that when you reply I’d be able to see your email address to send the button to you?
@dragon-snapper Actually, I just posted my button to show somebody else on Story Embers. If it works out better you can go there to get the button: https://storyembers.org/forums/topic/blog-buttons/page/2/#post-43066
@jenwriter17 Okay! I’ll go ahead and put it up. Where is it exactly?
It was a pleasure doing business with you, miss Jenna. 😉 😛
@dragon-snapper oh, did the link work? it should take you to the blog button topic in SE. on the second page, I believe….
’twas a pleasure doing business with you as well, miss Danielle. 😉
@Jenwriter17 Oh I see now. For some reason, I thought you meant you had posted it on your blog. 😛 I gotcha now.
@dragon-snapper Okay. 🙂
