Make it and Bake it Holiday series – send in your recipes, crafts, homemade gifts! You could win a $10 Amazon gift card

From now through December 25 I’ll be doing a Make it & Bake it series here on Queen Bee. This idea isn’t unique to the blog world – but my series is going to be unique because it will be put together with your help! Do you have a favorite holiday cookie recipe? What about a favorite craft? What about a homemade gift idea? Send it in and if it’s featured as part of this series you’ll earn a $10 Amazon gift card!

I’m looking for BAKING recipes and HOLIDAY CRAFTS or HOMEMADE GIFT ideas. 

It’s the same concept as my Crock-tober series and my Holiday Recipe series from last year. I just love getting your input and hearing from you each personally about the things you’re making in your world.

Here are some guidelines:

• Any baking recipe, holiday craft or homemade gift will do. Crafts or gifts should not require any specialized skills (like crocheting or knitting). Basic sewing is probably okay.
• Include a credit or source. It doesn’t have to be an original – if you got your recipe or craft from a book or website – no worries, just include a source. If you got it from Aunt Ruth or it’s your own brainchild – even better, just include that too.
• Share your pics. Share photos if you have them, but not required. This might be especially helpful with crafts. It doesn’t have to be your own image, just a reference for me to get the concept. I will take my own photos when I try them out for the blog.
• You can submit as many as you’d like. I’m sure you have more than one favorite and I’d love it if you shared two or three recipes!
• I won’t be able to feature everything on the blog. I’m no Martha Stewart. I probably won’t have time to highlight all the submitted recipes, crafts and gifts. I probably won’t even be able to reply to all your email submittals. I will randomly pick recipes, crafts and homemade gifts, to feature on the blog based on the time I have, the supplies used and what sounds like fun at the time.  I will personally make those recipes or crafts, take photos and share with my readers in a highlighted post. I will give $10 Amazon credits ONLY to the recipes and crafts I feature on the blog in individual posts. 
• Series goes through December 25! Are you excited? I am.

Submit your recipes, crafts and homemade gifts via email to thehive@queenbeetoday.com with subject line: Make it & Bake it.

I look forward to seeing (and trying) your favorite baking recipes, crafts and homemade gifts!
