Jessica Hood, owner/editor of the Funky Finds blog, recently announced a new mission for 2008:
I am making an effort to sponsor more giveaways in 2008. Readers love free products & they enjoy spreading the word about giveaways on various sites. The last week of each month in 2008 will have a theme. For example, the last week in February will be dedicated to promoting independent jewelry designers. A giveaway will also be sponsored during the week featuring donated items from various business owners & designers. Below is a list of the themes for each month in 2008.
I am an advocate for buying handmade items & for supporting independent business owners. I grew up in an environment that encouraged creativity & creating items by hand...Please note that advertising on Funky Finds is NOT necessary to be a featured find. My site exists to help spread the word about your products.
