Yup, it's time for the Linky Love to spread throughout the galaxy...or the blogosphere. I also wanted to give a great big Linky Love Shout Out to Barbe Saint John the genius behind the gorgeous jewelry at Saints and Sinners and maven of all things jewelrycentric at Craft Gossip's Jewelry Making Blog. Thank you Ms. Barbe!
I'm just not that into blogging today. Sorry. I'm getting a little burned out here. I'm thinking of taking Sundays off from here on out. I need a day that's mine and mine alone, a day to spend with my lovely family and not with my time sucking computer. Sundays are my slowest day around here anyway. (Note the lack of an ‘s' on the end of that word...when did anyway become anyways anyway?! ERGH. I read it increasingly in emails and blog posts and hear people say it and it makes me want to spew. ANYWAYS IS NOT A WORD PEOPLE. I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to language and yet I feel absolutely no compunction making up my own words at the drop of a hat. Go figure) So anyway (without an s that isn't supposed to be there), it's officially announced that Madge is only blogging Monday through Saturday. It has been thusly decreed. Insert trumpet flourish here. Huzzah. Hip hip...hooray. 
I added a small cache of quirky but simple earrings, wooden nickels and one collaged necklace with fabulous vintage beads to my Etsy Shoppe yesterday. I'll be adding new things as the days progress so check back often. I really love the two letter word earrings, stay tuned for three letter and four letter word jewelry items soon! As I said, there will be collections of jewelry, so I'm going to do semi-precious stuff, vintage stuff, kitschy stuff and I'll begin selling off some of my previously published samples that are wallowing in "the box of forgotten projects." So check back often to see what's new. Our big goal is e-commerce on the website this year, so I'll keep you posted. Ergh, why are we doing retail...again?! We must be crazy!
Okay so it looks like I did blog, but I am NOT BLOGGING next Sunday. I mean that people. Don't make me come over here and tell you again.
Until tomorrow...craft on with your bad selves,
Madge
