Team Gift Exchange

Hi all. Just thought I'd be the first to share what Gisele (silversistersstudio) sent me for our team gift exchange. I received a soft block and a lovely felt pin! I love them both so much. The block is our first baby gift for the wee one and the pin is all mine, wahaha. Thank you Gisele!

If anyone else would like to share pictures of the gift they received you can email pictures to me at info@craftedbylindy.com and I'll gladly post them to the blog for you.

Happy Holidays all!

Team Treasury and FP Feature!

Canadian Networks

Okay last night I spent about an hour or more on NING trying to figure it all out (I've been wanting to do this for ages!). I found a few very cool features. For instance when you're part of a NING group you have your own page (I did know this already, haha) but you can get your existing personal blog (eg. blogspot) to feed into your NING page! You can also move features around, change colours and personal your page to how you like it. You can even add different applications! Very cool.

Why am I telling you all of this? Because if you're interested there are two very cool Canadian groups on NING you might like to join. Just another couple of ways to social network. Oh that evil social networking that sucks up our time but is so important!

Bouncingoffthewalls started this one - http://canadiancollective.ning.com/

AkaneDesigns started this one - http://etsycanada.ning.com/

Here are my two pages if you're interested in seeing how I personalized them (one a bit more than the other). http://etsycanada.ning.com/profile/craftedbylindy and http://canadiancollective.ning.com/profile/LindyTurner

If you've already joined or would like to join these two groups and have questions about how they work or how to personal your page please feel free to contact me. I'm no expert but I'm always here to help. craftedbylindy

Okay, rambling session over!
