Digital DIY Wednesday: Fix Google Friend Connect

For those of you who use Blogger, I am sure that you share the same sentiment that I do with that little box that holds all of your friends and followers.  It has been endlessly frustrating to me that the box just disappears, and then re-appears whenever it chooses.
Well, it is now time to whip that little box into shape!
This fix came to me from the talented and incredibly lovely Abbie of Five Days...5 Ways. Her tech savvy husband helped her to out how to tame the unruly little box.And now I get to pass that onto you with this little video!

**Also, whenever you are editing the html language of your blog be sure to SAVE A COPY OF YOUR CURRENT TEMPLATE! That way, if anything goes wrong in your editing process, you have a copy of it to re-insert back into the text box. Thank you so much Abbie!  Be sure to check out her incredible blog, Five Days...5 Ways!

Digital DIY Wednesday: DIY Etsy Banner Using GIMP

{To forgo the epic whine session, scroll down for the video tutorial}
Well, the schedule has not let up any. My first craft show is coming up in two weeks, so I have been busy getting the setup perfect. I have changed things up this year adding an actual retail display tower that I snagged from Game Stop's dumpster, as well as string lights. But I am having some roadblocks, as my string lights are too heavy for my PVC poles so I need to figure that out.
 Right now the upstairs family room is a staging area for my craft booth!

I'm still trying to finish up the Academy Awards necklaces. I only have one little step left, but multiply that little step by 100 and it doesn't seem so little anymore.

I'm also selling some new belt cuffs at the karate school using actual karate belts. They are a hit so I have at least 5 orders a day. That has been keeping my already busy schedule full beyond capacity.

AND I'm still trying to develop my business plan for my indie gift shop.  Currently I am wrestling with the Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Projection, and Profit/Loss Forms.

HELLO BUSY.

Bla bla bla...enough of that whining, let's have another DIGITAL DIY WEDNESDAY!

Today's topic is DIY Etsy Banners.
You can watch it from You Tube as well, which will allow you to make it full screen:

PAR-TAY!
