TastyLinks^TM Saturday Linky Love
Happy Saturday!

I wanted to remind everyone about The Impatient Crafter^TM Happy Cute Make Kewpie Doll Challenge 2008. I am out of Kewpies, so this is a reminder for those of you who purchased them from me or KitKraft. The deadline for submissions is September 5th and all you have to do is send a 1MB or smaller JPEG of your finished doll to margot@margotpotter.com and I will post all of the entries in a FlickR account. Then our esteemed panel of judges will choose the three winning kewpies and we'll award the prizes. I don't need your doll, just a great photo of it.

Okay?! Okay.

Super Huge Thank Yous and Linky Love Shout Outs to the following smart and talented women: Debra Quartermain, Michelle McGee, Rebekah Meier, Jennifer Perkins (blog issues so I've hot linked to her website), Tammy Powley, Barbe Saint John and Wendy of Pink Glitter Style (there's an IE issue with her page so I can't hot link it here) for giving The Impatient Blogger some serious Linky Love!

DO NOT FORGET! Crafty Chica's new line is out in 140 Michaels stores and every day counts! If it's not in your store, please diplomatically bug them to get that display up asap!

FYI-Blogger is having issues. If you have SiteMeter stats on your page, get into your template and remove them. They are making it impossible for Internet Explorer to load the pages. Also some folks got locked out of their blogs as Spammers on Friday of this week, but Blogger is working on fixing this mistake. So if you go to a favorite blog and have some issues, hopefully that will be fixed soon. If you see the IE Abort pop up, try to email them and let them know about the SiteMeter issue.

And finally here is this weeks sampling of TastyLinks^TM to whet your crafty appetite:
