As a creator of Handmade Items, I of course only make things that I Love, but everyone who creates has a favorite item.

As Handmade Circle Team winds down it's Christmas In July event and since Christmas is Love, I asked the members to show me an item that they Love.  After seeing the items they posted I have to say I Love them and I think you will too!  Take a look:

Carlin Davis of Pollywog Patterns says she loves Zoe

Jayne Willis of Twiggy and Opal says " I will always Love this Quilt The Best"

Jessica Croft of The Prismatic Peacock tells us - This Lavender Goat's Milk Soap is my absolute favorite! I love the color, foamy lather, and the beautiful relaxing smell that fills my bathroom!

Michelle Smith of Monday's Child Primitives  says, I just love this large scarecrow doll and the pictures don't do him justice...he was so fun to make too. And with the coupon code some lucky person can save $7.00 on him♥

Karalee Gross of Ifrogcrafts chose her most loved item from a loved memory: Thisornament was inspired by one that my mom bought me many years ago, when we were on a trip to Wisconsin. I LOVE the memories & how we both knew it had me written all over it!

Jill Houle of Whispering Rainbows was inspired by a customer, I love the way this turned out! I had a customer ask me to make her a "number 3" to coordinate with the butterfly cupcake toppers I made her and this is what I came up with. Since them I have decided to continue to market them

Kimberly Gorman of Made For Jake loves Frogs: I love this frog print. We designed frogs for our son's nursery. It was the inspiration for us to start Made for Jake!

As for me, Bags By Hags I Love my Bible Covers

It's A Treasure Hunt!

The Handmade Circle Team have been some busy little elves with our Christmas In July Sale, but we are also having some fun.  Yesterday we started a 2 day Treasure Hunt where I gave them a fill in the blank question and they had to go treasure hunting through all the Christmas In July shops and find an item to complete the sentence.  It was so much fun to see the items they came back with, I thought I would share the questions and the great items they found! 

JayneWillis SANTA USES THIS AS THE TOPPER ON HIS CHRISTMAS TREE! Santa really gets tired of red/green/gold...He's a rebel and pink happens to one of his favorite colors! Plus, he's a nature kind of guy. Something many don't know about santa: he has a tattoo of a butterfly! Can you guess where??
