Today in our final feature we would like you all to meet Karalee Goff Gross of ifrogcrafts.

ifrogcrafts was born in Morton, IL in 2007. I have been creating in one way or another ever since i can remember. Making handmade items full time had been a dream of mine for many years. After my husband & i got engaged, he told me that he wanted to give me my dream. So now i am doing what i love--full time.

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??
