Julie and Blu of BlueMorningExpressions decided to host another "Countdown to Christmas" on their blog, 2013 style! Yay! Shop owners of ArtFire, Zibbet, Etsy, SupaDupa, a stand alone website and the like are welcome to share up to three gift items between Friday night at 12:01 a.m. and Monday morning at 12:01 a.m. Then a new collection of gift items will begin again the next Friday. This will continue until the second week in December. The items shared need to be G-rated.
If you share items, you MUST promote the collection and EACH item on at least one social network site, preferably Wanelo or Pinterest where the items can be easily seen and then saved again. It's only fair to promote each person that has promoted you!
In addition to saving the countdown collections on Pinterest and Wanelo, I decided to share one item from each of the ArtFire artists who participated. Please, pull out a sheet of paper and a pen or pencil and begin your shopping list! Have fun!
