{Three Fun Twitter Thoughts} - A "Twitter Tuesday" Post

1. Tap into Twitter for an Artful/Art-filled Holiday!
Are you beginning (or well into) your Holiday shopping?  If so, I’d like to encourage you to support the local and US economy instead of sending those dollars overseas.  What does this have to do with Twitter?  Well, there are thousands of talented artists tweeting away about wonderful handmade holiday items. I created a list of wonderful artist friends several months ago on Twitter.  Take a moment to browse through the list.  Remember, if you start your shopping now you will have plenty of time to get everything shipped to you before the holidays.  Not to mention the creations you’ll gift will truly be one-of-a-kind and handmade

2. A Twitter Project
I have something fun on my to-do list regarding Twitter and my artist pals from Kelly Rae Roberts e-course.  I’d like to create an easy-to-browse table that lists the following:
the artist,
twitter handle,
etsy (or other) online shop,
blog, and
the type of artwork the artist creates.

This way, if you have something in mind that you are shopping for, you’ll be able to refer to my quick breakdown to locate the artist who has the right creation for your gifting (or personal) need.  This is going to take me a bit of time, but I believe it will be useful for many of us.  More on this to come soon!

3. A Charleston Crafty Tweetup
For my friends in the Charleston area, be sure to mark your calendars for the upcoming Charleston Craft Bee event on Nov. 20th (@ChsCraftBee on Twitter).  For just $10, you will be able to create your very own handmade holiday gift! Choose from the following projects:
Dry-Erase Calendar
Feather Earrings
Bubble Notecards
Tile Coasters
Etched Drinking Glasses

Thanks to my friend Elizabeth for reminding us to "Enjoy the Ride!"
