Illustration Copyright Enoch Bolles It’s time once again for the Linky Love to be spread across the blogosphere! Here’s this week’s sampling of TastyLinks™: All the best blogs wrapped up in one!
I had a very auspicious day yesterday. I got a YuDu http://www.whatdoyudu.com/ machine delivered to my front porch that I’m really looking forward to breaking out, so look for a YuDu/The Impatient Crafter™ video soon!
I spent the better part of the day yesterday playing virtual hooky with viral marketing guru Peter Shankman http://shankman.com/. He was giving away a boat load of amazing prizes via Twitter. I had a snowflake choker to sell a while back on QVC and did some snowflake research to romance the design. When he asked about stellar dendrites, I knew immediately that they were a kind of snowflake. I won an oscillating drill kit from Dremel! Now I can drill on the go! Woo hoo! Thanks Peter and Meaghan!
The icing on the cake was a huge rainbow in our little valley and watching the incredibly inspirational film Slumdog Millionaire. I’m totally inspired to do some Indian inspired designs; I’m a huge fan of the vibrant colors and the intricate patterns in Indian fabrics.
Life is large.
I’ve been dreaming up some crafty excursions with Madge. The cruise with my celebrity co-host is being ironed out here and hopefully we can announce the details very soon! I’m also working on a NYC trip and exploring some more exotic locales for future adventures. I’ll keep you posted!
