MIFS News

I would like to take just a moment to thank Heather and Kellie for the absolutely fabulous job they do here at Make it from Scratch. (And at their own blogs too. Check them out if you haven't already.) Make it from Scratch would not be the same with out them! Thank you ladies! 

I have some exciting news. There are two more contributors lined up to add to the mix here at Make it from Scratch. Fiona is the creator of many beautiful things. She will be posting on Wednesdays, starting this week with an introduction. Angie gives new meaning to cooking from scratch. She is extremely knowledgeable about the health benefits of cooking from scratch, and will start sharing with us in the next few weeks. I'm so excited for both of them to join us here! 

In other news, Blogrolling is finally back online. Many of you were waiting to be added to the blogroll. I think I have everyone added. If you think you should be on the blogroll, could you take a moment to check the list? Everyone who is on the blogroll is also on the feed list in the sidebar. (It will not show the entire list though.) If you see any problems with the blogroll, please email me at makeitfromscratch at yahoo.com. 

If you'd like to be added to the blogroll (and the feed list,) it is very simple. See the directions at Join the Blogroll,  grab a button to put on your site, and let me know so I can add you to the lists. Easy!

Thank you for being a reader of Make it from Scratch! We appreciate you and your support! 

Kreative Bloggers

Taking a small break today from Thursday cooking posts. Hope all your Thanksgiving preparations are coming along nicely.

A big thank you to Modern Mommyhood. She recently awarded Make it from Scratch with the Kreativ Blogger award.


The rules: I have to share six things I'm thankful for and forward this award to six other Kreative Bloggers.

I am thankful for

• My faith and the freedom to express it.
• My husband. -He works hard and is so loving and supporting.
• The 100 Acre Wood. - I love living here!
• The relative prosperity we as a country enjoy.
• My children.
• Blogging- It may sound silly, but it has been a wonderful hobby.

Now to pass the award on to six others.

One pretty thing- Daily inspiration for a handmade life.
Smidge
Little House in the Suburbs - Simplicity, Creativity, Self Sufficiency, Minivans.
11th Heaven's Homemaking Haven - a hard to say name, for a fun and useful blog

A Pondering Heart - "But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart." Luke 2:19.


In other MIFS business....
The blogroll needs a little housecleaning. If you still have a button or link that goes to Stop the Ride, please, please grab a new code from the Blogroll page and update your link. I will be going around to check the blogs on the roll, and asking those with old links to update and removing any blogs that do not have a button or blogroll up.

While I'm sprucing up the blogroll, I will be adding members to the "Updated on the Blogroll" section in the side bar. This will show the last ten blogs that have been updated. Eventually I will move the full blogroll list to the blogroll page, and only the new section will be on the home page. This will take me some time, so patience please! :)

To those of you that have been patiently been waiting to be added to the blogroll, my apologies. The blogrolling site is still down, but promises to be back soon. I will add you to the "Updated on the Blogroll" section and get you on the full blogroll ASAP.

Have a great Thursday all! I'm off to make dinner rolls and pie crust.
