Hey everybody! Whew, it has been another lightning-quick month. I didn't think time could go any faster than it did in September, but October proved me wrong. Now, I mentioned "passing the bread basket". Basically, the year is quickly coming to an end. That means, MY year of hosting BYOB is almost finished. Initially when Cathy handed me the bread basket, my intention was to host for one year and then pass it on to somebody else. And after much contemplation, that plan stands. Connie is on board for the hand-off as well. It'll be a relay. So, my big question is: DO YOU WANT TO TAKE OVER HOSTING #BAKEYOUROWNBREAD in 2013?
If you want to take your turn holding the bread basket and gathering up everybody's delightful posts for the next year (or longer - entirely up to you), please leave me a comment or shoot me an email. Ask me any questions and voice any concerns. I will help you to the absolute best of my abilities. You are free to host in any way that you choose (linky tool, roundups, etc)...so please help to keep the home bread baking movement alive!
***UPDATE: Thanks so much for the great response - I will be passing the bread basket to Roxana in 2013 since she responded first. So exciting! So keep stopping by here with your bread through end of December and then get ready to visit Roxana in January.
