What I did during part of my weekend

Here is what I spent some of my weekend trying to figure out how to make:

It’s not a great picture, I took it with my camera phone.  But if it’s hard to tell what they are, it’s gingerbread men.  The first one on the left is a dud, I made the clay too thin and [...]

That makes me sad

Sorry I haven’t posted in a few days.  Just didn’t have the posting itch.
Anyway.  What kind of crazy state makes a law where in order to hold a contest, you have to register it with the AG’s office?  Seriously?  Oh yeah, the one where I live.
Even if the host of the contest is in a different state, [...]

Thank goodness for Akismet

It’s been catching quite a bit of spam.
Inappropriate spam.  And if you post inappropriate comments, then you know who you are.
How do you like the spam purgatory?  It sure isn’t lonely there, you’ve got company for sure.  Enjoy your stay! 

Contemplating bead making

I have a bunch of polymer clay sitting around from when I did sculpting (of dragons, primarily, if you’re curious) a few years ago.  Once the kiddo was born, my interest in it kind of waned because it was a bit of a challenge to try juggling work, caring for her in the evenings and [...]

Requesting constructive criticism please

Ok, this is aimed more specifically at those jewelry makers who bounce past my site from Entrecard, but anyone can offer input if you wish.
Please go to my jewelry e-commerce site, Positively Charming, look at my offerings, and provide your thoughts on what I have there. What is crap? What are my best [...]

Pretty rings

There is a blog I came across using Entrecard that I marked on my favorites on the EC toolbar.  It is a gal who makes rings with wire wrapping, and it looks really neat.  She also has an Etsy store, and has a LOT of rings up for sale.
Here is one that caught my eye, [...]

The Uh factor

On the way to and from picking up lunch, my husband and I listened to a few minutes of the press conference that President Elect Obama was holding this afternoon.  And we both noted something that annoys us both and elicits much mocking – his incessant use of “Uh” or “ah” when he speaks off [...]

Have you started your holiday shopping?

I sure haven’t.  *eek!*
I have a general idea of what I may be getting for hubby and the Kiddo, but that is about it.  Oh, and maybe for my parents too, since there is a company that is giving employees at my workplace a pretty good discount, and they have stuff my parents (especially my [...]

Now back to our program

Anyway.  What a way to start my day.  Damn mystery divs!
So, I voted yesterday.  I voted for the other guy.
Congrats to Obama I suppose.  I just hope he doesn’t screw things up.  And if he does?
 
Remember… I voted for the other guy!

I am so ticked off right now

I have changed the theme to match my other site, which works.
Identical themes.
Both with several errors when run thru the W3 Validator, yet the other site works, and this one does not.
The only differences are the content and widgets.
I even tested a theory and added a supposed missing closing div tag. It eliminated one [...]
