Handmade Holidays Directory 2010

EDIT: Remember... shops are added to the site in the order they are received. To see the newest sites make sure to scroll down to the bottom. You'll be glad you did!

Last year we created a Handmade Holidays Shopping Directory. It was set up to offer FREE advertising to our readers that have small online shops that feature items that are handmade or offer supplies for crafting. It was a huge success, and we are expecting more of our readers to participate this year.

Of course, we always like to challenge our readers to make as many gifts as possible. It's fun, it's economical and it's satisfying. But we also like to encourage our readers to support SAHMs that are crafting lovely gifts. So, if you'd like your shop to be included in our directory, and your site is family friendly and in keeping with the spirit of Wee Folk Art, read the instructions below. Shops will be listed in the order received. If you don't have a shop to include, please check the resource list frequently to see what new crafty goodness is being added, and consider buying from our readers. Finally, whether you are a "shoppee or a shopper", include a button on your website that shows you support Handmade Holidays! Yay!

INSTRUCTIONS:
If you would like your shop to be included in the listing please send me an email (michelle@weefolkart.com) including your Name, Shop, Website and a brief description of the products you carry (about 80 words will fit). I will choose a product image from your site to be used in your listing.

Michelle - Wee Folk Art This is an example of the directory listing. Please include your name, your web address and a brief, about 80 words, description of your site and the products you sell. I will choose an image from your site to be included in the directory. Businesses will be listed in the order in which I receive the request to participate. SHOP http://www.WeeFolkArt.com

You must sell handmade items or crafting supplies (family friendly, of course, and in keeping with the spirit of Wee Folk Art) to be included. This is a FREE listing that we will maintain through the holiday season. We hope to have many shops take advantage of this opportunity to share their crafty goodness with others, thus making our holiday shopping a bit easier this season. The more the merrier!!!

PLEASE NOTE: You do NOT have to have an "ETSY" shop... just your own shop that sells handmade items or crafting supplies. No site is too big or too small to be included. And although it is not mandatory, we do encourage our participating shops to include the Handmade Holidays button with a link to this directory on their site to help spread Handmade Holiday Joy.
