Sometimes I just like to shut my eyes and fall into the middle of the pile of my boys and get my fill of their love and joy.

I still do it, but now it is all contained in my shared google reader items. You can subscribe to the feed if you like. Or if you’d rather just get it all once a day, you can subscribe in email. Hope that helps :)

Lately I’ve been reading a great book series which I’d like to post about, but I just can’t stomach having to add the ‘this is NOT a sponsored post’ or ‘I bought these with my own money’ disclaimers. It’s discouraging and off-putting.

I’ve never ever ever watched a DVD ‘deleted scene’ which was wrongly cut out of the move — why do they include this crap??

1666077667Ever get some traffic to your site via Stumbleupon and wish you could figure out who to thank?

I thought this was common knowledge, but apparently it isn’t, so I’ll share this sweet tip with you.

Let’s say that this is the URL to a post of yours which is getting traffic from Stumbleupon:

http://tryhandmade.com/passive-aggressive-lunch-notes/

Take off the ‘http://’ part and add it to the end of ‘http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/’ like this:

http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/tryhandmade.com/passive-aggressive-lunch-notes/

On the right side of the page you’ll see the name of the Stumbler who first discovered your page and you can thank them if you like.

So thanks Karen (Craftastophe), I’m glad you liked Lotta’s post. There will be another one next week!

And for the rest of you, have you seen that Lotta (Mom-O-Matic) has a column on my site Try Handmade? You really need to check out Crafting with Lotta, but be sure you’re not drinking anything that you don’t mind snorting all over your computer screen!
