Hi fellow crafter! Nice to meet you! I’ve been meaning to stop by your blog for some time now… going to subscribe!
Gidget’s last blog post..I Got Tagged!
God bless all of you who turn out wonderful handmade items for the holidays, but don’t let this post fly in the face of Rachel’s wonderful last post. Make new commitments sparingly — it’s such a hectic time of year anyway!
Thanks Ann and Gidget!
Tina, I completely agree. This will be really fun, but only sign up for it if it won’t take away from your real priorities!
I’ve received a couple of questions by email, so in case you’re wondering:
* There is no limit to the number of entries. As long as you send me your link by November 10 and it’s related to the theme, I’ll include it.
* Your paper project doesn’t have to look Christmas-y. If you can make and give it to someone as a gift, that fits in the theme.
Can’t wait to see what you all have in store for the readers!
