I Made It! – Blog Party at Everything Etsy (and Giveaway!)

By 40 Comments

Welcome to the surprise and completely unplanned first week of I Made It! – a new blog party we’ll be hosting here every week at Everything Etsy!

I’ve been thinking about doing this forever, but never got around to it. So when the chance came up this morning to get my in-house button maker and tech guy to make me a button and set up a McLinky, I took it!

Here’s the idea:

Every week, we’ll have a blog party with a “linky thing” for you to show-off your posts featuring anything creative that you want to tell the world about!

We’re all about the movement of handmade and we want to do everything we possibly can to help spread the creative fire. We really hope that this helps you do that!

There are no categories, except the one clear one… YOU made it!

How does it work?

At the end of this post, there is a place to enter your info. A box for your name where you can add a word or two about what you made, such as “Kim @ Everything Etsy – Sachets” (we’ll adjust the character limit as we move forward, right now it’s 50 characters). And another box for the address to your post.

Make sure you use the link directly to your post, not just the home page. You can get that by clicking on your post title and a page will open with just that post on it. The address in your browser to that page is the right one.

Important!

It’s important that you help promote all of the other people in the party by including a link back to this post at Everything Etsy in your post. This way your readers find these links, and the other participant’s readers find you! You can use the button if you like. It already has the permalink to this particular post. (but a text link is fine too)

A Lavender Road Giveaway!

The Lavender RoadTo celebrate the start of this new blog party, I’m giving away a $30.00 gift certificate to The Lavender Road! My shop is full of colorful and sweet smelling lavender sachets, and of-course: I made it!

We’ll leave this open for new entries until Sunday night and draw a winner from the participants on Monday. You must properly link back to this post to win.

Oh! One more thing… since we gave no warning at all, you don’t have to link to brand-new posts… you can use an older post if you want to show it off! Just remember to go back in and add a link to the party.

(since you can’t link out from your Etsy shop, only blog posts can be linked to, not shops…sorry!)

**The winner of the gift certificate to The Lavender Road is Megity’s Handmade!  Yay!

Here we go:

    Such a great idea! I love it!

    I’m actually in the process of finishing up a gift for a friend that I’ve been photographing all the way through to make my first tutorial-type blog post! I’m so excited! This just pushes me to get that post finished before Sunday!

    I am technologically lost! Did I “link back” right? It made a new blogpost…not something within my original post. Please let me know if I’m doing this wrong.

    Hey – Tim here (not sure if my pictures still shows a tortoise!)

    In order to link back to the post…

    The easiest way:

    Go in and edit your post, and at the end or beginning or wherever you want, just add words something like: “We’re taking part in the I Made It! Blog Party at Everything Etsy” , then just highlight the whole sentence and make a link out of it.

    Link it to the permalink for this post, which is: https://www.everythingetsy.com/2010/02/i-made-it-blog-party-at-everything-etsy-and-giveaway

    That’s it.

    In order to use the button:

    The button is linked directly to this post, so it should go in your post if you can. You just have to get to the HTML view of your post, then you can add the code under the button wherever you want in your post.

    The HTML edit view can be selected at the top right of your “edit post” editing screen. (both in Blogger and WordPress)

    Hope that helps!

    Yeah, I am starting some of my projects this weekend and will be linking up;}

    I could really use a lavendar scented sachet too. I have been so tense and stressed out- over what? Who knows it’s not like I have the hard life!

    Thanks for the opprotunity!!
