Shout-Outs!

 

I wanted to post a couple of shout-outs to some art peep friend's blogs who have done some fun things using my Color Mists!

Stop by and take a look at Joanne's Blog and see her painting she's working on it has the look of encaustic wax painting.

And Sandee's blog who after getting impatient discovered a cool flopportunity using paper towels!


Thanks Ladies!

Crafty Blogger Blurbs & Shout-Outs!

I couldn't resist sharing shout-outs to a several
blogs that I feel are worth checking out...

I was first lead to Dofishes from a comment that she left on my blog, so I fired up the ole cruiser and hopped in for a little jaunt along the information superhighway and found my way to her wonderful blog full of eye candy and inspiration. From there I took a turn that lead me to I Hanna in particularly to her 2010 Postcard swap, but do check out the rest of her blog it's chockful of inspiration and info. After a short stretch of my legs I ventured on and came across the witty blog of DottyAngel-you must read about her year long challenge to buy only handcrafted or secondhand for her house and closet you won't be disappointed, I promise! I had time for one more turn along the Internet highway, so I stopped by MayaMade and I was happily transported to another quaint art blog of wit and whimsy! Do also check out her Barn transformation while your there!

Now back to your regularly scheduled Blogger Blurbs and enjoy!

Shout Out and Question...

I have to give a shout-out and THANK YOU to the talented Sharon B from Pin Tangle
for including me in her list of blog reviews. Please take a moment to visit Sharon's blog and see the amazing textile art she creates. I'm in awe of the exquisite detail and beautiful pieces she creates! Sharon also offers classes at Joggles.com if your interested.

Now on to my shameless patting on the back let me share some of what Sharon wrote:

"As I did last year I choose blogs that are on topic and written reasonably frequently, by textile practitioners and designers who do such things as quilt, stitch, dye, sew, embellish fabric, bead, use visual journals, or people who are interested in art and design. I also try and stick to blogs that are on topic at least 80% of the time."

Aileen’s Musings covers altered art, recycled

materials and mixed media projects which

are dished up with a snappy writing style.

What a warm fuzzy that gave me...WOW me...I have a snappy writing style...cool! Seriously though it's nice to know how people feel about my blog, because lately I've been wondered if many people are reading or still interested since the comments have dropped off. Not that I blog for comments Hi, I'm Aileen and I'm a CommentAholic, but I must admit it does feel good and help me to know how people feel or if what I'm sharing is of interest. I'll admit even I am susceptible to having my inner critic rear it's ugly head when I've created a piece I'm really excited to share and only 1 or 2 faithful readers comment. My friend Judy Streger wrote a hilarious post on the quandaries she has on whether to leave a comment or not to leave a comment. Check it out, but I warn you make sure your wearing your depends before you read it because your sure to need them!

My theory is that there are so many blogs and so little time that therein lies the problem people have less time and don't leave a comment until something really moves them.

So I ask those of you who are reading this...

what does prompt you to leave a comment

Shout Out and Thank you!

I want to give a big THANK YOU and shout out to my friend Tracey over at eeep! productions web design for coming to my rescue in helping me fix my blog design debacle !

Shout Out

I know I already posted The Impatient Blogger Queen Madge's link previously, but I just have to give another shout out because I just finished watching her newest video and was "glued" to the computer screen! I'm issuing a "spew alert" on this one also because if your like me and you like to sit and drink your coffee or other beverage while perusing blogs, and you might be inclined to be caught off guard like me spewing your drink out as you laugh...yes, admittedly I have done this on more then one occasion! Also some of my readers have been writing telling me how much they are enjoying the Blogger Blurbs but don't always make it to the end of the links I post.....maybe I should mix them up, eh?
Anyhow, do check it out:
