Love these pillows!!
I love etsy SO much & so would pay the amount they are asking. As an artist, I will always support other artist & give them the credit not to mention money they deserve. They need these funds to continue creating. Also, as the daughter of a quilt shop owner - people would always come in & snap pictures of quilts with no patterns made by my Mom - unapologetically bragging how they could easily create the same thing for little to no money - odds are they couldn't (money wise) & odds are they never would(time wise).
Give artist their due!!
Thanks for the etsy share tied into tech - AWESOME!!!

Not a huge FB addict or user but anything to lessen the grief & headache when I do log on & have no idea what the heck is blinking all over my page!
So much for clean & minimal.
The tips in this piece are ivery helpful & I plan to check into a few of them! I have yet to try Google+...didn't really want to open another can of social network worms, but have started using Google Chrome & tinkering with Firefox. I love to check out as much tech goodies as possible & see what works best for me.
Always love the tips on this site!

Netflix was all I could talk about when I first started using it. My local movie rental place was mostly only carrying popular movies & new releases. I'm all over the place with my movie tastes & documentaries, foreign films, classics, & Indie films weren't a priority. So, discovering Netflix was like Heaven for me. I was with them when the streaming began & this only made the pot that much sweeter. I wasn't thrilled about the price hike, but knew that was part of business-etc. But, the seperation of the 2 - mailing vs. streaming had me a little confused & questioning if maybe I should look elseware. If I was just streaming this change would hardly affect me at all, but I still want to watch many of the movies that aren't available for streaming. And, after hearing that Starz is backing out - geez.
I will most definitely look at my local library - great idea! I'm not sure what my future with Netflix & Qwik-whatever holds, but this piece was great in giving me ideas if I decide to attempt a breakup. Thanks!

I consider myself a gadget addict as well as a book addict, but I've been holding off on an ereader and/or ipad-ish gadget. Not for any particular reason, but I wish there was some sort of happy medium. As a graphic artist I feel the pinch that other artist feel about there art not truly making the transition to the difital world.
I certainly not opposed to light book loads - been there & done that! I'm intrigued by the digital concept - not threatened by it. However, I heard a joke on NPR about one day kids might be handed a book & they will poke at the cover wondering why it won't do anything (like a touch screen) - so funny to me, but then made somewhat true when I went to my local book store searching for a particular book & handed a sales clerk the ISBN number. He replied how much easier it was when people used the ISBN number & how discouraged he was that many people don't even know what this was. I asked if he was joking, & I could tell by the look on his face that he was not.
I know this "not knowing" could happen with anything ( and does), but the gadget lover in me also loves the artistic beauty of holding a actual book. I'm so torn, but in the rference of schools - I'm also torn.
Interesting read & thoughts nonetheless!!

I LOVE, LOVE this DIY!!
I'm a collage freak and would love to have something else to do with the stacks of magazines that I have yet to rip to shreds!
I have seen these bowls around and can't bring myself to pay the price tag...besides, much more fun to craft it!
Thanks!
