Tara Freys Blogging For Bliss!

Id like to encourage you to visit our gracious sponsors who have donated these wonderful prizes! Each of them has a great selection of quality items that would make awesome gifts for family or friends. We have gotten to know these individuals throughout the year and they are quality people who are working very hard in a very tough economy. is another way we can support the homesteading community!


Rules of the Event

With so much going on this week, I want to make sure everyone understands the rules so there isnt a misunderstanding (which would put a damper on the party - and we dont want that!).

• To enter the Daily Drawings, you must link up your blog (one time, please) on the Great Holiday Barn Hop between Dec. 12th and midnight Dec. 18th using the linky below. Blog posts should be holiday relatedWe encourage you to be festive and talk about something pertaining to the holidays. The limit is only your imagination! Family traditions, hunting the perfect Christmas tree, favorite holiday foods, animal care while on holiday vacations, etc. Please keep all photos and posts "Rated G" for all audiences. (Thank you very much! If in doubt,  please dont post it.)


• A drawing will be held each day at 5:00 p.m. PST for one to two items. You can view the daily winner(s) on one of our facebook pages. A complete list of winners will be published on Monday, Dec. 19th on the regular Homestead Barn Hop. The sooner you link up, the more chances you have to win an item! 

• To enter the Best Dressed Homestead, link up a post and include a * or before the title. For example:
• Lighting Up the Coop!
* Deck the Barn with Boughs of Holly
• House Tour - A Christmas Wonderland

• Best Dressed Homestead entries will be judged by the Homestead Hostesses and a winner will be selected. (entry is separate from the Daily Drawings, so you could actually link up once for the daily drawings and another for the Best Dressed Homestead. So to further clarify... You may link up a total of two times- one random drawing entry, and an extra entry for best dressed homestead. Any non-holiday related posts will not be accepted this week. Lets keep it festive!)

• To enter the No Blog Drawing, please leave a comment below with your email address. Any entries without contact information will not be included in the drawing. You only need to enter on one of the four blogs (not all four, please!). When leaving your email address, you may leave it in the following format: homesteadrevival at sbcglobal dot net. Participants who have a blog will not be counted.
