Got another treasury first thing this morning, so I thought I'd post it to give more people a shot at seeing it:

I Want Your Skulls

Cindy was apparently super busy this past week, with five new articles posted yesterday:

Changing Date of the Illinois Primary May Help Obama, Improve Illinois' Image

Thirty Years of Country Fiddle Leads to Full Class: Joanne Long's Class at John A. Logan College

Southern Illinois Group Las Damas Latinas Brings Together Women of Hispanic Heritage

Balance Fitness Studio in Carbondale Mixes Pilates and Recreation Therapy

Obama's Run for President is Right Man, Wrong Time

Nothing new from me, of course. I haven't had any good ideas for articles lately, which kinda sucks. Instead, I've been devoting lots of time to my Etsy stuff (ScaryWhiteGirl Designs). I've got over 100 things listed now, and more to come. Now, if I could only sell a few more things... *sigh*...

But I am getting better at navigating the site, and I even snagged a Treasury yesterday. The link will only be good till about 3 p.m. Tuesday, but if you're here before that, give it a look: SuperBowl Time!.

This is too frickin' sweet.

As some of my faithful readers may know, I make hats similar to the one worn by Jayne Cobb in "The Message" episode of Firefly. Now, oddly enough, the majority of these hats have been sent to Arizona. I have a huge following there... or perhaps it's that my best saleswoman lives there, and convinces all of her friends to buy my hats. :)

Well, a few weeks ago, there was a convention called Dark Con in Arizona, probably the Phoenix area. It was a smaller convention, one where the stars and the fans mingled freely. So the chances of meeting a given star were pretty high.

One of the guests at the convention was Jewel Staite, who played Kaylee on Firefly. And one of the people who bought one of my hats was wearing his Jayne hat...



Voila! One of my hats is now in a picture with Kaylee. I am ecstatic!

Three more articles from Cindy:

News Organizations Launches First Real Questions about Obama's Record

Technicolor Universial Media Announces Closing of Pinckneyville Plant, 440 Jobs Lost

How To Survive Your Cat's First Heat

Nothing new from me on the article front. :)

In other news, I'm spending a few minutes here and there today to get more Valentine's Day stuff listed on my Etsy store: Scary White Girl Designs. So if you're looking for cute cards or presents for people, check it out! :)

I would also like to note that Etsy made the New York Times yesterday: Rooting Around Grandma's Basement in Cyberspace. The article does point out some of the negatives of the site, but overall, I'm pleased to see Etsy featured in such a prominent newspaper!

Cindy has a few articles and a neat story up on AC, so here's some links:

Handicapped Man Dies after Being Struck by Van

Marion Mayor Seeks Twelfth Straight Term

Daughter of Former U.S. Senator Runs for Carbondale Mayor

Tears (fiction)

And I have one new article:

Tips on Making Your Own Cheap and Easy Valentines

Of course, if you're lazy, you could just go buy the Valentines that I made from my Etsy store... heheheh... shameless plug. :)

Happy New Year! :)

First off, let's catch up on some articles from last year:

Me:
Guide to 2007 Comic Book Movies

I may have left out one or two, like 300, which I knew nothing about until after this article was published, but basically this covers the big name comic book movies and a few lesser known ones. :)

The Crow: Four Movies, Only One Great One

After finally seeing the fourth Crow movie, I had to say something about it. :)

Cindy:

A Last Minute Primer in Gift-Giving: It's the Thought that Counts

From the Peace Corps to Christmas Tree Farming, Elaine Seymour Does it All

What You Need to Know Before Choosing or Switching Medicare Part D Programs

And then three for Cindy, all from last year. Both of us have been relatively busy with other writing, other projects, and Christmas, so neither of us have written a whole lot for AC for a while. I'm thinking I will probably get back in the swing of things in a few days. Maybe. :)

In the meantime, though, I've been selling my crafty stuff online! :) I have a store at Etsy, Scary White Girl Designs, with a little bit of stuff up now, and more to come. BTW, if you are local and want to order something, just do it. I can send an invoice without the shipping charges, and we can arrange how you can get your stuff. So don't let the shipping scare you. :)

I just bought a new digicam and a printer/scanner yesterday, so I will actually be able to take photos of the rest of my hats, and scan in some greeting cards and Valentines that I've made. So expect to see more stuff on the site, by early next week at the latest.

Oh, and I'll still do custom work. :) I'm working on one project now, but it's got a long deadline, so I have plenty of time to make stuff for people. :)

And I think that's about it. Christmas was good, New Years was tame, and I'm back at work. Speaking of, perhaps I should do some of that. ;)
