DISCLOSURE POLICY
The purpose of CraftingJeannie.com is to provide crafts and activities designed specifically to entertain a group of kids (i.e. classroom parties, Scouts, after school groups, birthday parties and more). Crafting Jeannie also provides tips and resources for parents. For questions about this blog, please contact Jeannie@craftingjeannie.com
I have a number of costs associated with running a blog of this size — server space, email servers, technical tools, and more. To offset this, I use affiliate links in posts when they are available.
As such, This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation. Some of this site’s links are affiliate links, and Crafting Jeannie is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for me to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. At NO ADDITIONAL COST TO YOU, I will earn a small commission, if you purchase them.
The compensation received will never influence the content, topics or posts made in this blog. All advertising is in the form of advertisements generated by a third party ad network. Those advertisements will be identified as paid advertisements.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revised their guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials in order to protect the public from any intentionally errant or misleading advertising that has been paid for by a group or company. Since the CraftingJeannie blog is a source of income and may occasionally incorporate endorsements or testimonials, I felt it was important to disclose the following to you, my readers:
- The content of Crafting Jeannie is a source of income for me and therefore may be used to promote products, services, or other businesses at my sole discretion.
- I will only choose to promote products/services/businesses that I have, in fact, used and that I feel will be beneficial to my readers. I feel very strongly about this. I always try before I recommend.
- Products provided by my advertising partners for my review are given to me free of charge with no cost to myself. This does not ensure a positive review of the product in any way.
- You can trust me. I will always give my genuine opinion about a product or service whether or not I am partnering with the service provider and/or receiving payment to do so.
- My number one priority is accuracy and fairness to my readers, and I would never compromise the truth just to make money.
- Mentions of associated products/services/businesses within the content of my blog may or may not be noted as an affiliate in every reference.
I love and appreciate my readers and make it my goal to be up front and honest with every post I write.
