Tastylinks^TM Saturday Shout Outs Ace of Hearts Earrings copyright 2008 Margot Potter

Hi, hi, hi my little bloggies:

I've made an executive decision. I went back and read some posts from last year and realized that I've lost track a little. My goal with this blog was to have a place where I could sit and write a little essay every day about whatever came to mind. I'm a good writer. I love writing. It's my guilty pleasure. My problem was I lacked the discipline to write every day, this blog was my way of honing that discipline. My older posts are rich and resonant and deep. Lately it's just been endless amounts of shameless self promotion with a hearty side dish of html code. Now my numbers are up, but I'm getting burned out. I'm a writer. I want to write. So I'm going to effort to keep most of the Linky Love to one huge lovefest a week. If you post a link to me, I absolutely promise to link back to you, just make sure you tell me and hang in there until Tastylinks^TM Saturday and I'll get you in there. Scout's honor! It's a linky day and that means more traffic will flow upstream, which is the point of the linky love. That and upping your Technorati rankings and your "Googleability factor^TM."

It's time for TastyLinks^TM Saturday Shout Outs to some of the craftiest chicks in the blogosphere and some fabulously talented gals who've been kind enough to post our videos in their blogs (for which I am profoundly grateful):

My friend the dynamic Tari Sasser of Clay Buttons makes bushels of beads and buttons that are overflowing with fabulous personality, just like her. Thank you for posting our videos Tari!

The delightful Christine Gierer of the How to Make Jewelry Blog who is a font of information you simply must go read! Thank you for posting our new video Christine!

Sensational Stephanie Girard of Sweater Surgery posted a link to the contest and I'm ever so grateful! I want as many folks to play as possible! Check out her wonderful craftalicious blog!

Now if you posted my video in your blog and I did not shower you with the Linky Love, well, shame on me, drop me a comment or an email to remind me and I'll make sure to shower you extra next Saturday.
