Blog Link Gallery Update: Submit Your Blog

Hello lovelies!  I first create my visual blogroll quite some time ago.  I loved how it gave a glimpse of each blog and its esthetic.  As you can imagine, these gallery images took quite a lot of time to assemble.  Because of this my list of blogs to add to the gallery has been growing and growing (you guys have been so patient - thank you), and I've found myself without the adequate time to create all the new link images...so I'm starting over (don't worry, it's a good thing).

YOU'RE INVITED to submit your own blog gallery button for my review.  Approved links will be displayed in the new galleries I'm putting together here on Creature Comforts.  Details on how to submit your blog button(s) and what I'm looking for can be found below.

Blog categories for submissions include:

DESIGN & STYLE BLOGS (interior/exterior design  |  home decor, product features  |  fashion)

ART & CRAFTY BLOGS (artist features  |  personal art blogs  |  diy/craft blogs)

LIFESTYLE (family/kid  |  food  |  personal journals)

WEDDING & EVENT BLOGS (party/event features  |  wedding)

----------

SUBMISSIONS:

• I am looking to add blogs that are updated regularly and feature image-heavy content.
• A link on your own site back to Creature Comforts is always appreciated.

A few more notes: Please understand that I would like to include everyone's blog and will try my best to do so, but if I feel that your blog doesn't meet the submission requirements above I may be unable to add you.  If you have questions about your blog button design please feel free to leave your questions below.  xo Ez

A Valentine Printable For All Ages

I bookmarked this sweet Dress-Up Paper Doll Printable by Sara Neuburger for Kiddley a long time ago and have been looking forward to sharing it with you ever since.  This printable happens to be perfect for Valentine's Day and I had a ridiculously fun time photoshopping some little outfits on mine to show you all.

Of course if I'd had the time and nice lighting for photographs (which we are sorely lacking here on the East Coast) I would have busted out my fabric and paper scrap stash and really went to town.  Maybe you will enjoy doing just that!  Head on over to Kiddley for the free download.  xox Ez

Psst...you can also find much more from Sara on her blog The Small Object Steno Pad (including a whole heap of other great free downloads).

One Good Thing: LM.affair T-shirts

I love the simple graphic design of these organic LM.affair Hand-screened T-shirts.  The boyfriend cut on the women's version is exactly the sort of shape that I love to live in.  Perfect for layering now and wearing on its own during warmer months!  Find all the styles on their website, here.  xo Ez
