I have been asked several times how to put the Like button on Blogs. Thought it was time for me to Blog instructions. I hope you find them helpful.
Please don't let the instructions intimidate you, it really is quite easy to do.
___________________________________________
First click on Design, then click on Edit HTML (I would copy the original HTML code and paste it in Wordpad or Notepad for backup just in case something goes awry).
When the HTML window opens, check mark "Expand Widget Templates" (upper corner).
Now you will need to do a ctrl + f (do this together). A box will open at the bottom of the screen. You will see Find: (in the blank box put this info) <data:post.body/>
The cursor will go directly to that line. Then paste the following code after that:
<iframe allowTransparency='true' expr:src='"http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=" + data:post.url + "&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=100&action=like&font=arial&colorscheme=light"' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:40px;'/>
Click on "Save Template".
If all went good, every time you create a new post you should see the Like button at the bottom of the post.

It's Blooming Bookmarks! Hallelujah!
As many of you have probably noticed, I waste no fabric. I have baggies with scrap fabric left over from other sewing projects. I didn't know what I was going to do with them, just knew I couldn't throw them out.
I am an avid reader, I was enjoying the collection of Twilight books when I lost my favorite bookmark.
Now no way was I about to go buy a new one, ooooohh no, so.... The birth of Blooming Bookmarks happened!
I love, love, love creating them.
The blooms are incredibly fun to make and putting them together is even better. I can just let my imagination go.
Can't get any better than that!
Now, I am off to enjoy a good book...

Cranberries and the Holiday Season...
Whenever I think of Fall and the Holiday Season, I think of pumpkins, leaves in wonderful colors, fireplaces and "cranberries". The inspiration for my most recent Artfire Collection came from yummy cranberries and the artisans who created gorgeous items using the color of cranberries. So, dig in and enjoy!

Awesome Craft Fair at Catlin Court....
I loved participating in this craft fair! Although it was HOT, 107 degrees, it was so much fun!
The fair was held at Catlin Court in historic Glendale, AZ, wonderful antique and quaint specialty shops line both sides of the street.
Walking the street and venturing into the specialty shops is so surreal. Strolling into the awesome shops that sell candles, is too die for, oh the aroma! Or turn the clock back by visiting the vintage shops with their wonderful dresses, shoes, jewelry and other awesome accessories.
I was fortunate to have my booth in front of "Girlfriends Craft House", is that store name just too cute?!
A HUGE, gorgeous tree shaded us throughout the day. As you can see my beautiful granddaughter enjoying herself.
And my husband watched closely over the money. Doesn't he look excited? HA!
All the wonderful shoppers made for an awesome day! I can't wait to do this again in December. *smile*
I hear my poor neglected Etsy shop and ArtFire studio calling me. Lots of goodies I haven't listed. Soooooo.....
Have an awesome day!

ArtFire's Unbelievable Group Deal...

Over the past few weeks I have been moving items from my shop on Etsy to my studio on ArtFire. Little did I know at the time I made this decision that ArtFire was going to make an offer that is totally unbelievable.
Originally ArtFire offered the $5.95 monthly deal to 20,000 members. To our surprise, John (CEO) and Tony (COO) of ArtFire changed the criteria to "all" members who sign up by Oct 1, 2010 will definitely get the group deal. After that, memberships will be $9.95 a month, which isn't a bad deal, but doesn't $5.95 sound even better?
I am so excited to be in on this deal! They have also left Beta behind, WOOT! The front page of ArtFire has taken on a whole new look. It now features "Collections" created by ArtFire Artisans.
All the changes at ArtFire are just incredible and in perfect timing for the upcoming holiday season.
If you haven't checked out ArtFire for awhile, it is never too late.
So come on by and visit, love to see you there. *smile*

Fall and the Holiday Season...
WOW, where did the summer go?!? Mid-September already, fall is upon us next week and ghoulish Halloween will be here before we know it!
Then it's Thanksgiving and and and, then it's Christmas.
Anyone else feeling like our days are just speeding by?
On Monday I paid a visit to Michaels for much needed supplies and what greeted me at the door? Not Halloween or Fall items, but Christmas decorations. YIKES!
But, I must admit that Fall is my "favorite" time of the year. Not that Arizona experiences it, at least here in the Valley we don't.
I always tease that we go from brown to brown. I am so envious of those who have the awesome beauty of fall colors bestowed upon them. I can only imagine how gorgeous the trees must be in their flaming red and orange colors.
Do you have photos that show off the spectacular colors of the Fall season? I would love to see them! Drop me a comment with a link so that I can ooh and ahh. :)
Have a super day!

Thank you my dear daughter, you made my day special!
