Who Are You Calling Crafty?

It is Finish It Friday but Nothing is Finished–lol!

I have about eight projects going on at the same time but not one is finished. The main reason why I postponed a blog post today was to see if I could actually get something finished. Not so much. Today I worked on finding a screen video capture program so we can record the Creative … Continue reading →

NOON TODAY! Creative EdVentures Presents The Paint Box

“Have you ever walked with ten cats on your head?” (Dr. Suess – One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish) I have no idea why but I felt compelled to start a blog post about my web TV show with that line but maybe that will compel everyone to turn in (Disclaimer – There … Continue reading →

How to Remove the Side Bars from Your Pages

If you notice on my pages I have eliminated the side bars on several of my pages. This was extremely easy, I promise (Jude easy!).

That being said I treated myself to a Mothership Wit – Organic Wheat Beer … Continue reading →

Intense Debate is GONE!

I have stopped using Intense Debate – one problem I have to manually go back and enable the comments on all the posts. Hopefully that will be done some time in the next week (I have over 100 posts to do). I am sorry for the inconvenience and I am a little peeved that I … Continue reading →

Intense Debate–SIGH (UGH)!

I have been thinking about this for a while removing Intense Debate for my comments. I like it because I don’t get the SPAM I use to but I hate it because none of the comments are posting on the blog. Maybe the people who comment decide to only send the stuff straight to me … Continue reading →

Craft Tech University is GREAT!

On Saturday, I took my two hour class with Samantha Star. I can honestly say I didn’t know what to expect, my expectations were average. I figured I won the class I wouldn’t be out any money if the class was okay. I had never taken an on-line class such as this so I didn’t … Continue reading →
