Link-a-palooza

I apologize for my rant on Wednesday and thank those of you who offered advice and sympathy. What I took from the whole thing was that either I need to stop being lazy and start protecting my products with something like a watermark or I need to just get over it. Right now I'm choosing to just get over it while the back of my mind churns with watermark ideas.

Since that last post was such a heavy one, let's take it a bit lower key today.

~*~First up, is a link to Spice Up Your Blog with Five Tips to Keep Your Blog Ideas Fresh and Flowing. I read through the post myself and thought the main idea of it is solid and not to wordy. If you're often struggling with some new blog ideas like I am from time to time, this post might help some.

I haven't had time to play with the thing myself, but I know many crafters might just adore this sort of thing. And, with Christmas coming up you can never have enough boxes!

~*~Speaking of boxes for Christmas. Isn't it fun to have something unique to wrap up those boxes?

Rachel at Grasping for Objectivity offers up her idea and instructions for making word search gift wrap that includes the lucky receiver's name. . .or any old word you may want.

~*~Orchid Gray shares her tips for Successful Thrift Shopping. Her tips are intended mostly for clothes and accessories, but I think they can be applied to whatever you're thrift hunting.

~*~Lastly, tomorrow is December First. . .a new month. . .a new set of photo prompts from Fat Mum Slim.

I didn't do so well this month, but the start of a new month means starting again. Are you going to play along or is December just too crazy for you?

So those are my links for today. If your finger is still itching to click, check out the two new items in the shop and the earrings that were just marked down.
