Handmade Blog Party - The Season of Giving

We have entered the Season of Giving and we thought today we would have a different kind of sharing party.

What are you giving away this holiday season? Are you sharing a free pattern, a free printable, a tutorial, a recipe, etc. on your blog? Are you having a giveaway on your website or blog? Are you offering a free gift with each sale from now until Christmas?

Just add a picture of the freebie and the url to where they can get it to the link below.

The rules are simple:

1. Follow our blog

2. Handmade items only.

3. You may list up to 2 items.

4. Family friendly items only.

The success of this link party depends on the participants so spread the word to your friends, visit the shops, post about it on your blog, in a forum or on your favorite social networking site, grab the button and put it on your blog or website.

Just click on the Add Your Link button at the end of this post and add your items.

And if you would like to add a link to the party you can grab this button below.
