Local First: MakeAndTakes.com Blog
By Saintless. Filed in Blogging, Local First |
Local blogger Marie LeBaron writes the MakeAndTakes blog. As a craft junkie, or at least wannabe craft junkie. I do some crafts, and I read about 15 craft blogs and dream about making the projects. Or, sometimes I buy everything I need for a craft project, and then never do it. But, I think that still makes me a junkie of some sort.
Anyway, I’m also very fond of the idea of local first, and the MakeAndTakes blog is celebrating their 2nd birthday with a “Locally Grown in Utah Giveaway” with prizes from 7 Utah companies. You can enter by commenting on the blog. While you are there check out some of the other posts, like Giving Out Kisses For Valentines.
The companies featured are:
The Girlie Shop
The Sassy Shoppe
Fall Down Tree
Kelly McCaleb Handmade
Cheeky & Swank
Sarah Jane Studios
The Sweet Tooth Fairy Bakeshop
And yes, I am writing this blog so I can get an extra entry in the contest – I really want that Four Girlies Necklace. But, it also reminded me that I am lagging on my Local First blogging, so it’s not all a shameless contest entry. Next up for local first blogging: Play N Trade.
