I hope you will join me all month long for tutorials on handmade gift ideas. I did this last year and soon all those ideas along with new ideas will be organized neatly for you in the Skip to my Lou Handmade Gift Guide.
Would you please help me get the word out about the Handmade Gift Guide? I would love it if you would place the button on your blog. If you do please e-mail me and let me know you have placed the button and I will e-mail you a little treat for you to download.
Tweet about the gift guide with the hashtag #handmadegifts and at the end of November I will randomly choose 5 people to each receive a free month listing on the Chic Chick Media Peeps widget .
