{Creating Christmas Event…..and a dare!}

During my first year of blogging I hosted an event called Creating Christmas. It was a week worth of linky parties focusing on a different “Christmas Theme” each day. Well, I’m reinventing it and I’m super excited. Almost this excited:

I LOVE that movie!!!! I can seriously watch it over and over again and laugh myself silly each time!

SAVE THE DATE:

December 4 through December 10

Creating Christmas Blog Event

During that week we will feature projects from some of our favorite bloggers and some new Christmas projects by ME! Ohhhhh yeah!!! I’m going to get my Christmas craft on! At the end of the week we are going to wrap it up with a very “special” linky party!

Here is where the “DARE” comes in! Unless you live in a hole somewhere or under a rock, you are very acquainted with Pinterest! Some of us go PIN CRAZY!! And it’s very easy to do!

This is my dare to you:

Don’t Just Pin, CREATE!

I want YOU to create something Christmas-y. Use Pinterest if you must for some inspiration but try but do a project yourself. Dig out that box of craft supplies. Dust off your sewing machine. Power up the power tools! Try to create something that others would find “Pin Worthy”. Blog about it and add your link to our “Don’t Just Pin, CREATE!” party. Sound good??

If you would like to join in and CO-HOST this event with us, WE’D LOVE TO HAVE YOU! Grab the button and blog about the event. Please include a link back to this very post so that everyone is on the same page! During the same week you will host the same party at your blog. You don’t necessarily have to have guest posts. If you want to create and blog all week long, HAVE AT IT! On the last day, I will send you the Linky Party code and you can pop it up on your blog so that your readers can link up right from your blog and it will be one huge master list. And the links MUST BE CHRISTMAS PROJECTS that they created this year.

I’m excited. Are you excited? If you need any more information or if you need me to clarify anything just shoot me an email. 🙂

oh my goodness AMAZING!! I've been challenging myself to use my own brain and do things instead of just pinning all week! (cam up with 3 Christmas-y things already and made my own nightie pattern!) LOVE this!

Fantastic news. I will definitely be grabbing a button. My deadline for Christmas creating is that week as I leave the country to spend it with my boyfriend for the first time....the presents must be made. I am blogging about my progress and projects every week. Also starting a weekly link party every Monday. It's been super fun firing up the Christmas spirit within.

Now where are those Christmas Carol?

How fun! I've blogged about it, & added a button to my side bar - I'm planning on cohosting, so please let me know if need to do anything else in the meantime 'cause I've never done something like this before (anastaciaknits at gmail dot com). I was planning a month long celebration, anyways, & had a bunch of posts set up with new free crochet patterns (I'm a crochet designer) - I just rearranged my posting schedule so now I have one each day all week long.
