This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions, free products, and other forms of compensation.

This site uses affiliate links.

We use affiliate links to help maintain this blog so we can keep bringing you awesome DIY tips and dolly inspiration!

About affiliate links: When I refer to an affiliate link I am informing you of my relationship with that particular product or service.  If you choose to buy a product or service via my affiliate link, I will receive a small commission.  Of course, this is at no extra cost to you?

Current Affiliates:

• • Namecheap (domains and hosting provider).
  • Annie’s Craft Store (Retailer of craft supplies and patterns).

Please note that I do not use affiliate links to make a quick buck.  The products and services I recommend are ones that I use personally and believe to be beneficial.  Again, I would never tell my readers to try I product that I didn’t trust or use myself.

Also, I will never hide an affiliate link.  When a post or page contains an affiliate link it will be labeled as such at the beginning of the post.  If a link is not stated as being an affiliate link, then it’s not.

Sponsored Posts:  A sponsored post is a post where I am paid or compensated to write about a topic or review a product.  If I ever receive a free product or payment for providing a sponsored post, that post will be clearly labeled as “sponsored“.

Privacy Policy:

What information do we collect?

1. A name (if you leave a comment or fill out a form).
2. An email address (if you leave a comment or fill out a form).
3. A mailing address (if you are the winner of a giveaway or contest).
4. An IP address.

You may be asked to enter your name and e-mail address when leaving a comment, entering a giveaway, or voting on one of our online polls.  However, this information will remain private.  I will never sell, rent, or transfer any of your personal information to advertisers or third-party sites.  If you enter a giveaway or contest I will send a private email asking for your shipping address so that your prize can be mailed, but, again, this information will remain private.

When leaving a comment on our site, the data you enter into the comment form and your IP address are collected to help filter spam comments.  An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.

Once your comment is approved, your profile picture and comment will be visible to the public.  When you leave a comment in the comment box, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
