Linky Follower Tool

Before I went away to Hawaii, I had the opportunity to be a 
part of a group to test the new




Can I just say "kudos" to Brent for developing this AMAZING program
in such a short amount of time!

As many of you know Google is taking a lot of their
"extras" away from the blogworld......I can't even talk yet about the loss
of Picnik!

One extra leaving for all non-Blogger users is the Google Friend Connect (GFC).
It is also rumored to be eventually disappearing for Blogger users, too!


Linky Followers is and awesome replacement for GFC.  
It is very easy to use AND it's FREE!!
If you want a complete tutorial for how to use it, check out 
THIS POST from At The Picket Fence.






To celebrate this fun new blogging tool, Cheri from

Cupboard Door Picture Holders

I've been dying to do this project!!  I first saw it on The Creative Crate months ago and couldn't wait to try it!


The first stop was to the Habitat Restore where I picked up these old cabinet doors for about $0.50 each!


I cleaned them up and sprayed them first with Rustoleum primer...


...and then Rustoleum Blossom White...



I let them dry.....for like 3 weeks because I didn't have time to get back to them!.....and then I added my trusty mix of glaze.....truly about 1/6th of this can has lasted through 5 months of projects!


...there's no special technique to glazing...it's like The Karate Kid..."wax on, wax off!".....


...wipe on your glaze to a level of thickness that you prefer....if you wipe on too much then wipe it off!


....note the difference between the glazed wood and the sprayed wood....the glazed wood really has dimension to it.....




...drill holes where your ribbon is going to get pulled through....I used two sizes of bits...




I went through first with the smaller one just to get the hole for the ribbon started and then made it bigger with the larger bit...


After a number of failed attempts to get the ribbon into the hole (and not finding a lick of tape anywhere to tape off the end!)............I decided to push it through with a toothpick....it worked great!



I tied my bow and attached my magnetic clip with a little bit of Gorilla Glue.....awesome stuff!


Stacie at The Creative Crate used 8 x 10 pictures, but I only have a 5 x 7....her doors must be bigger than mine...


Now I just need to get some Black & White photos of my kids to fill the empty spaces!
