{I love the idea of “paying it forward”. I think the world would be a better place if we could spread some joy and acknowledgement of good deeds done by others. I try to do that once a month for my Sew Thankful Sunday posts. I highlight some great content that I’ve found on other people’s blogs that I hope will inspire you and reward the originator by bringing traffic to their site. If your blog has been mentioned without your consent, please let me know and I will take you off the current list of featured bloggers.}
I have always enjoyed writing the Sew Thankful Sunday blog posts, but I’ve decided this will be the last one to appear on my blog. I am starting a newsletter in a few weeks and it will incorporate the same type of resources that I have shared in this Sew Thankful series. I’ll continue to create free tutorials and tips for my blog readers here, so don’t despair! More information about the newsletter will be coming soon.
Sew Thankful Sunday (a day late) for December has the holiday spirit with lots of projects and ideas for decorating, gifting and organizing. Plus some inspiration to keep you busy all year!
