Photo Bracelets with a side of Hokey-Pokey

Hello Fabulous Friends of Fussy,

I have great news, we are close to the 1,000th comment on Fussypants, since I moved to Typepad this Fall. Wow, thank you all so much for your thoughts, love, and encouragement. So keep 'em coming, Party People. I'll throw a ticker tape parade for the 1,000th commentor!

I posted some new bracelet pictures over at Fussypants Designs.

C'mon, Wouldn't Mom & Grandma go crazy for some custom-made jewelry?

Did y'all know trying to take a picture to show how pretty these are in real life makes me want to poke my eyes out is more difficult than I imagined?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, because you, my loyal fans readers unlucky google searchers, read my whole post, I have a wee-little surprise for you. I'm nice like that.

This video of Jim Brewer singing Hokey-Pokey is so funny that I have laughed until I cried, and I may or may not have momentarily become incontinent!

I love y'all, too!

Snoozefest aka Blog Bid'ness

Fussy's Bloggy Bid'ness Posting (otherwise known as sleepy-time)-

I have a few ideas and questions that I need your thoughts on.

How about I throw in some random photos to keep y'all awake?

See, aren't you happy you didn't click away?

1) Is my header drivin' y'all crazy or is it just me? I'm sooo tired of the green. I'm thinking about doing a new header every month. Good idea? I check this thing obsessively all day for love comments your lovely thoughts, so I might as well see a new header often. Any thoughts? Is change good or annoying?

Any fan of Star Wars would love this! Keep reading...

2) NEARCIRCLE- I love me some Nearcircle. (Nearcircle.com) It is new, and you probably haven't heard of it yet. I have two widgets up. Bottom left is my Mommy Blogger Circle and bottom right is Homeschoolin' Hottie Circle. I am opening them up to accept new members.

Here are some cool things about joining a Nearcircle-

• Your widget will be customized to your blog settings automatically-colors, fonts, and design.
• You can customize your circle widget to have as little or as much on it as you like- members most recent blog entries, photos, who is visiting your site now, and live chat with other nearcircle members.
• The Circles are a great way to publicize your blog and keep in touch with other bloggers!

Keep reading, Friends of Fussy! More good stuff is coming.

I have circles for Mommy Bloggers, Crafty Chicks, Homeschooling Hotties, and lots more. Visit my page at Nearcircle to join.

3) I am considering starting a new blog in January. This will be a Homeschooling blog geared to homeschooling boys and eclectic teaching styles.

The new blog will be the collaborative work of many different Homeschooling Hotties. ;)  I want the site to encourage and provide lots of tips and recommendations to other Homeschooling Hotties!

I'll post more on my little idea later in December.

Boys are boys in every culture! Keep goin'...

4) I have memes to do. I'm sorry, y'all. I'll get to them I swear! My eldest son, Partyboy, is starting to say unpleasant things about my blogging. I have to spend more time 'off-line' for a while. Sheesh, good thing NaBloPoMo is almost over.

Ouch!

Wake up, Peoples! I know this post was a snoozer, but c'mon, I see you sleeping.

Love, Fussy
