The Goody Guide (pt 1)

With holidays right around the corner (please don't get here too soon though),
holiday shopping will be in full swing.. These shops are around all year long,
and for those that don't celebrate Christmas & those that do.. a guide is just want you need.
For anytime of year!

Halloween and Thanksgiving haven't even made their way to the calender, 

and Christmas is already getting shoved into our faces by the retailers.

Come on industry giants don't push winter here, when what I really want is fall!!!

If you are a planner and like to get shopping done early, or at least get an idea for gifts, 

why not buy handmade for the ones you love?

The older I get the more I realize that the things people have bought for me in the past, 

and the things I have purchased for them are all things we can buy ourselves.

While browsing handmade, I feel that its more personal, thoughtful and intentional.

A gift that means something more then store-bought-pre-packaged-ness.

If you haven't had a chance to browse my sidebar, you are missing out!

My sponsors are insanely creative and beautiful people making creations that make great gifts!

To help your browsing needs I've whipped up a quick list to easily show you what each

sponsor of mine (that has a shop) features, including their shop link if you just click on their name.. 

Have fun!!!
