The start of an early spring has inspired me to think outside my own creative box and personal comfort zone.  Balance.  Not white, not black but grey. 

I branched out this month and signed up for 2 ETSY showcases and one is for today!  I also am sponsoring Rachel (coincidence, right?) from PS I Quilt for a couple months...it must be a Rachel thing. {lol}

Check them out - you won't be disappointed!

Anything blooming for spring project ideas?

If you have not heard of stumbleupon.com then I recommend you sign up for a free account.  This tool searches the vast amount of websites, blogs and all types of internet media and recommends links for you to view based on your personal interests!  This is amazing.  I've logged in for the first time and have a full page of endless creativity.  I no longer have to go search for it....it now comes to me!  (I'm sure my need to explore on my own will still keep google logged in my favorites!)

For those of you who have an interest and are small business owners...designing, maintaining and updating your online websites, blogs, and social networking sites, etc. ... I will be posting some information and quick tips for e-marketing that I have discovered along the way.  Just thought I'd share the wealth!

Stay tuned!

Blogs, blogs, and more blogs.  Lately, I've found myself lost in the 'friends of the friends of the friends' of blog posts.  One link leads to another and....I'm lost in creative bliss....and I can't remember how I got there!  I've decided to start keeping a roadmap of links as a record of my internet adventures and a way to find these amazing sites again!

I have posted them under "sew inspired".  I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!

The Christmas countdown is on!!  Looking for last minute gifts?  Check out Urban Petal...an online boutique.  These are super cute (I know, I have them in all colors!!) and are really versitile.  The snaps and/or straps make excellent stocking stuffers.  

They have daily deals and sometimes offer complementary shipping and handling.   Support your local Small Business's this Christmas!
