Bringing the awesome

Ok people, no dramatic commentary from me today. Not that there’s a shortage of bitching in these parts, just that I’m about to head out to have lunch with my BFF and ex-work buddy (Wassup Moe-zilla?!). The boys are going to Mary’s so I can do some errands and hubby can immerse himself in touch up paint & wall hangings (as we attempt to spiffy up the house in preparation for the MIL’s visit). So instead, I’m leaving you with some internet awesomeness that I’ve come across in my travels. Too good not to share! In no particular order:

• Sweetheart Moments: A mommy blog and a craft blog rolled into one! I’m so in love with this site! And super jealous of this chick’s creativity and organizational skills! She’s got some fabulous ideas. Sorta makes Martha look like a deadbeat
• IKEA Hacker: I’m so excited that I came across this one because I love IKEA! Check out all the creative and inspiring things folks do with items from IKEA. Some really cool hacks!
• jannypie crafts: Another craft blog, but definitely not ordinary. She’s got some really nice tutorials and some super cute (free) blogger templates (if you’re into that sort of thing). Yeah that’s the WordPress snob in me.
• behind the seams: A Mom, Etsy-er, and humble craft blogger. Another talented Super Mom! How do you ladies do it? Send some of that energy my way please! I just love seeing how people set up their craft rooms and her room is awesome!
• Perrys’ Plate: This one might just make a foodie out of me! Ok, not really. I like to EAT. Lords knows I don’t like to COOK much. But I’m tryin’!
• Vista Icons: Totally cute icons to personalize your PC. I spent way too much time last night downloading and changing out all my important icons. And yeah, I’m running Windows Vista. Because I’m cool like that.
• Microsoft Office Planner Templates: an anal retentive organization junkie’s DREAM! Download vacation planners, meal planners, Christmas present planners, baby shower planners, camping trip planners, the list goes on! All in Word or Excel format.
• Vertex42: more spreadsheet and template goodness! I’m lovin’ it!
• Feathers, fur and fusing: Last but not least… my talented friend Jan and her blog supporting Blue Cockatoo Glass (her Etsy shop). She loves to tinker with bits of glass and comes up with some really cute stuff. Love the sun/moon magnets!
