Some of my favorite things: black cats, cherries, frappucinos, stuff by Umbra, blue jeans, chunky plastic jewelry, Hatch Show Prints, celebrity gossip, stripes, old pinup art, ice cream on sugar cones

I did have a swell day, thanks! I actually went to a yoga class. Yay me for actually working out. It was great! I can't hang out tomorrow because my sister is coming to town though. Any big crafty plans or just hanging out?
I’m not sure if you’ve stopped by my site lately, but my goal is to provide business, marketing, and publicity info to women who’d rather work for themselves, than work for the man.

I also have a podcast; some of my past guests include Alison Gordon from The Sampler, Amy D. from Made By Amy D. and Jessica D'Amico from Lady J Jewelry.
For a limited time, I am allowing some of my MySpace friends to record their own 30 second commercial for their business, which I will play on my podcast. Just call my listener's line at (214) 615-6505 ext 6754 to record your own commercial.
I hope you can take some time to stop by the site and at least let me know what you think!
Thanks for the comments about my book. I am sending you wishes for a wonderfully crafty weekend! Big crafty hugs, Mark Montano The Big Ass Book of Crafts Guy.
I think you really will enjoy this book. It took me 14 months to write and boy did I pour my heart and soul in to it. It has 200 projects that you can make your own. xo, Mark!
Hey Alexa, glad to hear you're gonna try to come out for the wedding. I can get you a place to stay either at my house or one of my friends' houses so that you don't have to worry about finding a hotel. Hope all is well.
