I would love to continue showcasing gorgeous new finds. but I would also like to offer opportunities for crafters to have their item reviewed by some of our lovely readers.<br /><br />I am also hoping to offer advertising to wahp within Australia. this will start on a small donation basis of a handmade item for giveaways, and in return you will receive a plug on the blog for a month.<br /><br />If you would like to be the first to advertise please contact me at boorahdesigns@live.com.au I would love to see these new changes start from October. if there is anything else you would like to see please comment below.<br /><br />Tammy<br /><div class="iblogger-footer"><br clear="all"><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: right; FONT-SIZE: 10px">[Posted with <a href="http://illuminex.com/iBlogger/index.html">iBlogger</a> from my iPhone]</p></div>Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15214979298053929848noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759727259926181202.post-71287367128012232922010-05-29T19:30:00.008+10:002010-05-29T20:43:45.374+10:00Markets Galore<div>Markets are the perfect place to source gorgeous Handmade designs.
