Does Your Creativity Need a Boost?

Most of us can use a little help once in a while, and if you'd like to rev up your creative juices you may want to consider working with a creativity coach. This can be very expensive and for many struggling artists seems like an impossible dream. Eric Maisel, author of many books on creativity, teaches people to be creativity coaches and as part of their training his students work with clients for free. The next training begins June 16 and coaches-in-training will work, via email, with clients at no charge for the 16 weeks of the training. If you would like a little help with any art-related or creativity-related issue: blocks, procrastination, career issues, motivation issues, etc., just send him a paragraph about you and a paragraph about what you would like to work on with a creativity coach. Send that info to ericmaisel@hotmail.com. I've done this program with one of his students before and it was so helpful I'm thinking of doing it again!

How Lucky is Your Favorite Mom?

Mother's Day is just a couple of days away. Are you done shopping? If not, this is your lucky day! I offer a selection of LuckyGirl Gift-of-the-Month Clubs: you can choose pendants, earrings, a mix of pendants and earrings, and even Temari. All gifts will be shipped directly to the mom of your choice and customized to her unique preferences. Place an order by this Sunday and I'll email a color preference questionnaire with a gift announcement to your favorite Mom. And a bonus just for my blog readers: I'll add one free month on to whichever gift club you select. Just send me a message after you order that says "It's My Mom's Lucky Day!"

Stumble Worthy

I found this linky love thing at The Journey. Here is the concept: Stumble the pages that link to you. In this way you drive more traffic to the page containing your link and thus you hope that some of that traffic comes back to you via the link on that page. Supposedly, we are to link ourselves to Stumbled sites to generate the traffic that we want. But what if we could just Stumble on each other’s sites/blogs? Let’s modify things a bit and make our very own StumbleWorthy list. Why have a list, you say? A list is necessary for the participants to StumbleUpon. And also, it’s needed to check whether the participants are really Stumble-ing. Plus, it helps your Technorati authority soar high! Neat, huh? Click on the link to join.

–START COPYING HERE–

Here are the rules:
1. Copy from “START COPYING HERE” to “STOP COPYING HERE”.
2. Add your site(s) to the list. Just be sure to post the “StumbleWorthy List” at each site you add.
3. Let Blanne know your blog’s name and url by leaving a comment HERE. Blanne will add you to the master list.
4. Come back and copy the master list back to your site, often. This will allow the newcomers to achieve equal benefit as the late comers do.
5. Register in StumbleUpon and install the toolbar.
6. Go to the sites found on the list and give them a thumb up (I like it!).
7. Add Blanne as your friend in StumbleUpon: Blanne.
Note: Your url will be deleted in the Master List if you do not comply to the given rules.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE LIST. OR CLICK HERE TO GET A BANNER THAT YOU CAN PUT ON YOUR BLOG. THE MORE PARTICIPANTS, THE GREATER INCREASE IN TRAFFIC!

Mommy and Me Boutique

I found the cutest baby slippers today at Mommy and Me Boutique! They're easy to put on Japanese-style, handcrafted in a variety of colors and prints, and many are available as part of a coordinating set. This is the perfect gift for the stylish baby who has everything--I only wish she made these in grandma sizes too!
