Gifted Gorgeousness December Link-Up Post

  

This is the final post for my first year long SAL.  We have been posting and linking up on the 15th of each month, because it is 2015.  I think it's been a huge success.  Everyone has been stitching away on some beautiful pieces, both received as gifts and intended as gifts for other people.  Of course there has been the odd shoe-horn along the way!  That's part of the fun of a SAL.  Yes, freebie charts do count as gifts from the designer.

I will be having one final giveaway this month.  There will be two mystery prizes of charts and kits donated by the lovely Gwen of Guava Gems earlier this year.  I have a spreadsheet of everyone who has signed up each month.  You will get one entry into the draw for each month you linked up.  The more you linked up, the more entries you get.  The second prize will be for those dedicated people who linked up every month.  I will announce the winners in the first GG post of 2016.

Yes, that's right; GG will be continuing into 2016.  I don't know about you but I still have enough Gifted Gorgeousness to keep me going until 2116 never mind next year!  I will keep the link up date as the 15th because it's nice and central in the month.  I've updated the main GG page so you can sign up now to show you intend to take part next year, even if you don't make a post this month.

And now over to you - Here is the place for you to link up so we can see what Gifted Gorgeousness you have been stitching so far this year.  Please use your name or your blog name in the field NOT the words "December Update" so I can easily see who has linked up this month.  

And link to the actual post, not just your blog.  People are still getting this wrong!  It is easier if you copy and paste the link, rather than typing freehand.

Thank you.  I can amend links if you make a boo-boo though.

Finally, it's a busy time of the year for us all, so please excuse me if I don't visit and comment on your blog as much as usual.  I had to clear out my Reader of abour 200 posts which were over two weeks old just to keep the numbers manageable!  I do usually read every post even if I don't comment.  One thing I don't do is return to see if you've replied to my comment, so please reply by email!  I also answer all of those too.  Hope you're all enjoying the Advent Calendar Blog Hop too.  I certainly look forward to it every day.
