other places to share/link are:

Note: I own FQHSKCB and FQGGCB which are food content related challenge blogs. For FarmQuest HomeStyle Kitchen think of it as anything food goes or even as anything kitchen goes. Dinnerware, glassware, recipes, aprons, spatulas, measuring cups, candy, cookies, cocoa, etc. are welcomed there anytime. For FarmQuest Grocery Game Challenges think of it like a very popular Food Network cable TV show. There are 2 types of game challenges every 30-31 days with one based on store aisles of contents and the other based on alphabet foods such as H for honey, ham, hickory-smoked steak, hickory nuts, hazelnuts, etc. With the gingerbread cookie, candy canes, and peppermint swirl candies, if I didn't own FQHSKCB, I could link up. If FQGGCB was having C (candy canes) or G (gingerbread) or P (peppermints) alphabet letter foods, I could link up this card. OR if it was an odd aisle #7 which contains candy, nuts, and baking ingredients, I could share this card.
