Madge has a lot of links today! I'm starting to feel like I need to drive the Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile. Let's face it people; html code is a royal pain in the arse. I mean first it's like magic and it makes you really excited to punch in some numbers and letters and squidgets and have a photo or a hot link come up. Woo hoo! Then after about the gazillionth link, the thrill is gone. It's still like magic, only it's lost its sparkle.

All whining aside, because no one really likes a whiner, I can't exactly ask folks to post my videos in their blogs if I'm not willing to share the Linky Love! I mean, it's only fair. I love the Linky Love, who doesn't love the Linky Love? I mean who? Who?!

So today we're gettin' linky with it boys and girls. Remember if you post my video in your blog (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-S9bZ_CvFE) you get a little Linky Love shower! It's the pause that refreshes....ah. Also if you want me to shower you, ya gotta let me know ya posted. M'kay?

Ahem, The Impatient Crafter^TM Linky Love Shout Outs to:

Brenda Pinnick, illustrious illustrator and fine artist to the stars, who kindly posted a link about the new, new The Impatient Crafter video on YouTube in her blog.

Creative dervish Tammy Powley who double posted our new video in her About.com AND her fabulously fun Crafty Princess Diaries blogs.

The ever delightful and insanely gifted Ms. Jean Yates who came out of her well deserved ‘baycayshun' just to post our video in her blog, which is what I call going above and beyond the call of duty!

The talented Tonia Davenport has a fantastic new book out about getting started working with Plexiglass aptly titled Plexi-Class. Look for a review coming soon to The Impatient Blogger, until then, go check it out! I've seen this jewelry in person and it's gorgeous.

My other friend Tammy Powley has the definitive metal clay book out and if you've been tempted to dive into this medium, you have to get her book: Picture Yourself Making Creating Metal Clay Jewelry. It meticulously covers everything you need to know. Look for a full review here next week.

It's Fabulous Friday Finds yet again at HHH Enterprises and this week it's all about fabulous faux tortoise beads and components. Check it out a little later this morning!

I've lowered the cost of the Kewpies for The Impatient Crafter Happy Make Cute Kewpie Challenge 2008 in my Etsy Shoppe. I mailed out the first batch and realized the shipping was far more affordable than I thought it would be. So, now the dolls with shipping are 2.50. I've offered to refund those who paid extra. Now you have absolutely no excuse for not joining in the fun! YAY! Get yer red hot Kewpies today! While you're there, check out the new limited edition Wooden Nickel jewelry items.
