Name that column... and win a 1 year FOLK subscription

This giveaway event is now over. 
Winner will be announced on Monday.
Thank-you for your comments!



Having the opportunity to write for FOLK on an ongoing basis a dream come true for me.

I'm REALLY looking forward to each article, because I'm in love with the entire process. A new creation, photography, building the writeup, and then seeing it in print? Sounds exactly like blogging, doesn't it? :)

It's my hope and dream to do more of this type of work in the future for other printed and online media  as well. Any takers out there?!? :)

Details, details...

With each giveaway event, I'm going to attempt to share something about FOLK you may not know about. The more I hear about what they have planned, the more I want a red hot copy in my hands. This week's detail...


Didja see that? Canada! That would be moi! I get to show you Americana Canadian style. :) Can't wait to find some fabulous haunts my way to show you. :)

Buy through FJI

New magazine budgets are tight, so to help fund my new 'writing career', the kind folks at FOLK have offered me a sweet deal. If  you purchase a single copy or subscription of FOLK through my blog at any time, (same price as elsewhere) I will receive a small commission. 

I can even offer wholesale deals on the mag. So if you have a storefront and wish to do a trial run on FOLK coming out Sept 1st, please email me and I'll get you in contact with the right person.

Wholesale

Put FOLK WHOLESALE in the title and send to: signmakergirl@hotmail.com

    Hi Donna, That is so exciting and sounds like lots of fun. I think you have to incorporate your name into the column so maybe
    Funky Junk Talk, or Funky Junk Yak, or Funky Junk Jangle..( which means a friendly informal conversation.)

    How about Donna Talks Trash or Donna's Junkin' Around or Junkin' Around with Donna.

    I think it should have your name in it since you now have a byline (How exciting!) and you want to associate it with what you DO. Because, let's face it, you are more than the sum of your parts. You're Amazing!

    You could also write about Funky Folks if you want to keep your column about your readers. It's all about where you want to focus your writing. Good luck! This sounds like an amazing opportunity!

    Hi Donna,
    I love the french language
    "Jonques Exquisite" which means "Exquisite Junk or "Ordure D'amore" which means "Love Junk".

    Take care,
    Crystal
