Craft♥Advent

I’ve been doing a bit of housekeeping here on the blog- moving things around, needing to add more links, etc. Today I spent 3 hours (in a state of utter frustration and near-alopecia as a result of same) trying to make a blog button, and ta-dah!!! (as all the with-it bloggers say these days):

Here, is a blog button. Feel my blood, sweat and tears as you look at it… (I think I need a stint on the stage) and feel free to “take” it for your blog; (html at the end of this post: you paste this into your widget section (or at least thats what I do in WordPress)to create the button on your blog)

for this Advent I am hosting a

Craft♥Advent” linky-party!

The idea is that as many as possible bloggers will add their tuppenny piece: a Christmas craft idea, recipe or tutorial and link it back here (there will be a page on the right with all the links) I will be posting a craft tutorial each day of Advent to bring us up to Christmas day: lots and lots of ideas for festive homemaking and making gifts for you and loved ones, and giveaways too!

(I have actually started compiling posts so I am ultra-organised; really, there must be a blue moon out!!)

So! Will you join me?

Lets make this a great party!!

html code for button:

    It sounds great, Emily. Do I put the blood/sweat/tears nest on my blog to indicate I am taking part?

  3. Fiona says

    Here is how UNcrafty I am — I can’t even figure out how to put up the button, lol! But I will have fun watching you work!

  5. Emily says

    You can Nuala, if you can work out how to put it on (hopefully won’t take your blood sweat & tears to do so!!! )

  6. Emily says

    Ah Gail, you won’t be allowed to have any mince-pies then :-) How about a tutorial to make your beaded spoons???

  7. Karen says

    AHHHH
    I cannot get the linky thingy to work – and after 1/2 hour, I am not sure how you are still sane after 3 hours!
    Anyway – I am in – hopefully with a link and a picture

    Karen, I hope you get it to work… if you don’t succeed, I’ll do a step-by-step… (hope it’s not acting up my end !!) Just brilliant you will be partying over here!! :-)

    I’ve put the link up – I think you need to close the html for the image.
