Be sure to check her site out. And don’t forget to post a link to your latest project, your website or your etsy store! This time of year, there is nothing better than free advertising!
2. On Etsy Monday, we took a look at great items that would make fabulous gifts. Remember that Etsy is a great place to go for unique, well-made, hand made items. Be sure to check out Etsy this week as I’m sure there will be lots of great sales in honor of Cyber Monday.
3. The folks at Avocados from Mexico are sponsoring a Mini Chef Video contest for parents of children ages 5-15. Just submit a 1-3 minute video of your child preparing an avocado dish for the opportunity to win some great prizes! How about $1000, an HD Camcorder, a Nintendo 3D?

Monica comes to us from Canada, and her website is a great place to go for wonderful instructional toys and craft ideas for young children. And Monica happens to have photos of our buddy Tom Selleck from the 80’s! Apparently what happens in Canada, doesn’t stay in Canada. Right, Tom?
