If you are interested in joining us for our 1 day sale, to not only create traffic to your shop, but also bring recognition to the concept of ~creating handmade with handmade~ please continue reading. This is a trial run to see if we can link our shops together for one big sale day. The tentative date is set for either Sunday, October 2nd or Tuesday, October 4th. After you have linked your shop using the inlinkz tool at the end of this post, please leave a comment stating which sale day that you think would be best. I'll take the majority vote. Please read through #'s 1-9 below before deciding if you want to be a part of our group sale. This is a first for LMAJ so let's see how it goes! If it is a success, we'll do it again. Thanks, MaryAnn
