TastyLinks Saturday

Illustration Copyright Enoch Bolles

This has been a busy and somewhat stressful week. I'm hoping things are a little less chaotic next week...but one never knows! I'm attending Ranger U next weekend and I'm really excited to check out their new products and get my final certification. I'm officially certified in Perfect Pearls and Inks and Embossing Powders. Yes, I'm certifiable.

I subscribe to "Google Alerts" which are little web crawlers that email you whenever key phrases you've submitted are posted on the internet. One popped up in my in-box earlier this week and I followed it to discover I'd gotten a very nice write up on the HGTV Design Happens Blog! Wow! Check it out!

My friend Rachael Strange Morris recommended a site called Instructables to me. I decided to go ahead and create an account because they take absolutely no ownership of your projects. I always read the fine print, some of these websites try to lean in on your rights. I've uploaded one video and I'll get some more stuff up there soon. It's a really cool site...check it out!
I'm on QVC Silver Style tomorrow with three items in the show. It starts at 8am EST!

Here is this week's Linky Love shower from The Crafty Blogger gang with a full platter of TastyLinks for your crafty edification.

Until next time...craft on with your bad selves.
