[MakinTheBestOfIt]

How this works.    Every  Saturday I will post a new artist for   you   to feature on your   blog.   These artists will reap the rewards of    having  their work   plastered  around the web...and in return...they    will feature  you when   your  time comes around!  Once you have  written   up your post for  the    featured artist, post a link in this  thread.    Others in the ring   will   then go to your blog to comment!

The    ring is growing so  we are splitting into two rings again so that   artists  are not waiting a  year to get featured!  Note to those that   are  featured...if you are  featured, you can do your post on the   featured  artist from the other  ring so that you don't have a missed   week!

Ring     1:  Your featured artist is  a favorite of mine!  Trusk4U has been a huge supporter of handmade and the HAF groups.  Her work must be seen to be believed.  Ready to read?  You can find her blog here http://www.trusk4u.blogspot.com/ along with plenty of links to follow!

Ring 2:  Your   artist is  super talented lady!  While she tries to keep her own life in order, she still manages to create wonderful pieces that have had us all ohhh and ahhhing.  LisianBlue can be found at http://lisianblue.blogspot.com/ along with personal info that is always fun to read and links to follow


If  you  are not  yet part of  the  new ring, you can  go to  this thread http://handmadeartistsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3402.0.html        and I will add you to the list.

Please remember that this   is   a    commitment.  You are responsible for one blog post per week   on  the     featured artist.  If you are unable to keep up with the  ring  (I      understand that life happens!) please let me know and I  will  take  you     off the list.  This will only work if everyone   participates!

Owl update:
Today was a sad day as we had to say goodbye to our little feathered lovlies. Check out my final owl post after reading about this amazing artist.
I am now off to Thailand for much needed R&R. Stay tuned for posts from this beautiful  place.

Aw Kimberly thanks!  Trying to keep my life in order is an understatement right now - after rescinding my 30 day notice, my daughter has now decided that no  she isn't moving here, and still wants me to try to move there - and I just unpacked most of what I packed!
so, if I seem a bit crazed right now - it's really all very involved and I won't go into the nasty little details - but I'm off to do a blog!

Mines up for Teresa! http://lisianblue.blogspot.com/

I'm caught up with my comments. Thanks everyone for the great articles! Like I said before, I am truly flattered!

For some reason, I couldn't get the links to work as links, so I hope it won't be frustrating to folks to have to copy/paste.

[trusk4u]

All caught up again.
Sorry for all the reminders, but if I don't do it then I forget where I've been.
