Winter News at Crows Creek Crossing

I've been lagging behind in posting news to the Crows Creek blog, mostly because I'm having difficulty getting marketplace members to contribute news for the monthly blog updates. My goal has always been to provide you with regular, timely news from Crows Creek and its members, but lately that's just been a bit beyond my control. I may close down the blog at some point in the near future. I'll give it a go for a bit and see how things progress. Hopefully we'll get some more interest so we can post more regularly.

One thing I would like to mention is that I have totally revamped the look of Crows Creek Crossing. I designed all new custom graphics for the site and I really love how they turned out. Please do take a look when you have a minute and let me know what you think! If the blog keeps going, I will update the graphics here to match.

We also opened a new sister site, Primitive Square Marketplace last month. It's got a very unique look and we've added some great features. So be sure to check that site for even more country primitive shopping opportunities.

Until next time, I wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy holiday season. Take care and be well!
