Dress Form Linky Party, Yep, I am going to take the leap


I am going to make the leap into 
"Big girl" blogging!
I'm going to have a one time Dress Form Linky Party 
February 7-13th!


 I wanted to give you some time to get the girls (Dress Forms) ready for the party.  Old, new, homemade, altered, big, small......All forms are welcome.




Link up as many dress form posts as you like, old posts, new posts..No sense reinventing the wheel if you already have a dress form post


I even followed Debbiedoo's tutorial and made myself a blog button, oh ya, I'm getting real fancy now!
The back ground graphic I got free at "Free Pretty Things for You" and the dress form was from "Graphics Fairy"

I'm a little nervous, I have never done a linky Party
 (I have no idea how, but I'll figure it out LOL)

My biggest fear is no one will show up and then I will be the big




LOSER BLOGGER

Now, I know some of you don't have dress forms and wouldn't be caught dead with one in your house, but for those of you that do, I would be eternally grateful if you would participate and save me from

The Blogger Hall of Shame!!

If you think your readers might enjoy participating, you can grab my new Fancy button for your side bar

And don't worry, I will hound remind you of the party in my posts


So, what do you say, are you in???  

Happy Creating
Carol

    Hi Carol,
    I don't have true dress forms but make dress form pin cushions/jewelry hangers. Does that count?

    WISH I had a dress form. Saving up for one (thanks to your tuts, I know where to get them cheap!

    I have a dream of someday having a dress form in my house- either functional to use for sewing or to dress up in pretties! (I'd probably change her clothing/embellishments with the seasons, knowing me). Maybe this year one will show up at a yard sale.

    I hope your linky party is a smashing success!

    I have one, but it s a newer one made of bright royal blue fabric. Yuk. Would this still work, without me having to completely recover this thing? It doesn't look vintagey at all unfortunately.

    A friend of mine found your blog. She lives in FL and plans to visit your booth soon. She loves your blog and now, so do I! I will join your dress form party. I have 4 dress forms right now (just sold the 5th one yesterday). One is in my bedroom and the other three are in the garage awaiting a trip to my antique booth. Anyway, I decorate and redecorate them all the time. This party is so for me! Can't wait to link up on February 4th!! See you then!

    Your "loser picture" and blogger hall of shame comment made me laugh right out loud! Yes... that's exactly why I don't do things like that. I'm a big fat hairy chicken.

    Your party will be great. I just know it. That's because you are as far from the big "L" as you can get.

    But... I don't have a dress form.
    Yet.
    I love them, though, so we'll see.
    I will, however, put you right up on the side board of my blog for advertising.
