So blog about a special connection you have, or how you&#8217;re staying connected through these tough times, or losing connection. Talk about family connections, or friends, or zippers, or LEGO. Whatever works for you.<\/p>\n<p>Each post will be required to share a link to the fundraiser for the Edmonton food bank and will be encouraged (but not required) to include one of the &#8216;Giftmas&#8217; graphics.<\/p>\n<p>Before we knew what kind of year 2020 was going to be I&#8217;d considered skipping the fundraiser for a year, but if ever there has been a year when I&#8217;ve felt it was important to reach out and help as much as I could, it is this year. Still, I&#8217;m low on spoons &#8212; as I know a lot of you are &#8212; so this year&#8217;s fundraiser is going to be pretty uncomplicated. I&#8217;m not even doing a Rafflecopter or a prize pool. If individual bloggers would like to give away prizes that&#8217;s fabulous, and I&#8217;ll definitely be doing a giveaway of some sort &#8212; but I&#8217;m keeping the bulk of the blog tour as clean and simple as possible.<\/p>\n<p>To sign up to participate in the blog tour, simply follow the link to the form below and fill it out.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a day you\u2019d prefer to blog on, include that on the form. If you don\u2019t just put \u2018N\/A\u2019 and I\u2019ll ask you to cover whatever day has the fewest participants.<\/p>\n<p>Sign-ups will close<strong> November 30th<\/strong> so sign up to blog before then so you don\u2019t miss out.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/j31eMJbubj3gB9EB8\">Sign Up Here<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*however you define \u2018blog\u2019.
