www.etsy.com

I bet a lot of you have already stumbled across www.etsy.com, but if not, you've got to visit the site! It's a community of artists buying and selling creations. So, want some ideas to help inspire your own creations with any medium you can imagine? Want to help support artists who are just starting to put their names out there? Want to try selling your own artistic expressions? Then Etsy is the place! Since I've barely had a free minute to do much besides take some cool pictures for the walls of my new house, I found some great decor pieces for my home from Etsy...including some postcard paintings and magnets to make collages on metal tack boards that are on some of my walls...I'll try to post some pictures of them later! Etsy away!

What an awesome idea!

In this age of technology taken for granted I am very excited at this new opportunity for us to make a difference through everyday tasks. I was researching humane societies to see if there is anything that we sewers could do for our furry friends and found out that Microsoft has teamed up with the Humane Society of America to help save animals. While using the messenger service from Microsoft, you can sign up for this program (no cost to you) so that Microsoft donates to the HSA for every IM you send! Check it out!

The project will be up mid-December on www.makeitu.com if you want to check it out and help your local Humane Society location!
