In case you missed my earlier post today, I am going to have a new link party starting up this Thursday. Many of you have been really terrific to me and I wanted to do something special for craftswomen to support the hard work they do.The name of the party will be..........
Times Are Tough Thursday!
This is a rare party in which Etsy store owners, and craftswomen who sell their handcrafted items on their blogs, can promote their inventory free of charge. In fact I will be encouraging partiers to link directly to their store if they have one. In most parties, linking to an Etsy store is against the rules. Not this one. Link 'em up! You will be able to link up your best 3 items.
The links will be with photos and I will make them a decent size for everyone. I will also be opening up the number of characters available to not only put a short description of your item under the thumbnail, but also to put the price of your item under the thumbnail, as well if you want.
I realize that Etsy stores may have trouble linking back to the party. But I feel like by doing a party like this and "paying it forward" it will all work out. For those of you who will be participating, just spread the news as best you can and link up on your blogs when possible. I need to get the word out in order for the party to be a success.
Thank you all for your generous support of Tools Are For Women Too! Hopefully by helping out a few of you with some free advertising and links to your inventory, you can all make a few extra dollars in tough economic times. We need to work together.

T. Bird,
Thank you. I spent quite a bit of time the last few weeks trying to figure out how I could make some impact with my little blog. This is what I came up with. It may not be much in the grand scheme of things, but if my party is responsible for a sale or two, maybe it will help pay someone's electric bill this month.
I appreciate your compliment.
Rory
What a wonderful idea! You are a very special gal!
Wow, that is a great idea...thanks for the opportunity Rory! See you Thursday!
Sounds great, and this is SOOO needed! Handmade is better! One of a kind with love in every piece. I will definitely spread the word on this!
Stopping by to say hello. Hope you had an amazing Independence Day.
Make sure you zoom over and get entered into all my current giveaways. Check back often too, I have some amazing items to be posted soon. Everything from stuffed animals, makeup, candles, and housewares.
Stay Fabulous

Chara,
Thank you for stopping by. I love that you are going to help spread the word on this one. There are a lot of us out there that could use one extra sale to make a household payment of some sort. By spreading the word you may be helping someone make ends meet this month. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Rory
