    I took the handmade pledge this holiday and shopping already has been so much more fun! Thanks for hosting this holiday guide, I included it in my feature over the weekend of Holiday Guides coming up!

    Also, I am hosting a party for the November called “I Bought It Handmade This Holiday” where bloggers can show off their handmade purchases and support the shops they bought from! Feel free to come by this month, it is just getting started!

    This makes me excited for the holidays!
