Recap of Monday 11/3 Show

If you missed the show last night, you missed out on a lot of fun. A Good Witch Too and I were in complete control till the end of the show when the sound effects took over. I do believe it was the ghost of the chipmunks. Here's what we covered:

The Artisans Challenge
Last week ended in a tie between LDphotography and jennigerladd.
This weeks looks to be a runaway for Debra Linker.....get your vote in.

The Artisans Shoppe
This is the sister site to The Artisans Challenge. It launched last Saturday 11/1. We let our listeners know how it is setup and what we are planning in the future for it.

The Handmade Movement
What is The Handmade Movement?
This is the embryonic version of a site whose purpose is to help creators, sellers and buyers of handmade items with fun and useful promotions, tips, giveaways, links and more. Although unaffiliated with Etsy, we focus in particular on shops of handmade items from Etsy.com
A Good Witch Too is sponsoring a sneak attack herself. You can find out more about it here.

Etsy Angels Team
Our very own roving reporter Sew Happy Designs joined us with an Angels update. Etsy Angels is a wonderful team on Etsy. Go check them out.

A Great Giveaway

I'm (blockhead rod) new to twitter and I've gotten hooked. This is a new part of the show. If you follow me on Twitter, some time between now and Sunday I'll put a post here on the blog for the tweet's of the week and I'll tweet about it. The 1st 10 people that put their shop link in the comment section of the post will have their site read live on the show. We're all about shameless plugs.

Prim Conference
We shared some great info on an upcoming Primitive and Rustic Conference that is going to be held next year. Find out more about it at www.primcraftersconference.com. Tell 'em that Blockhead Radio sent you.

Music
Last night we played music from Jim Armstrong and The Clintons. You can find out more about these indie artist and so many others at Podsafe Music Network.

Remember, if you miss the live show you can always listen to it by using the player on the top right side of this blog.

Thanks to all of our permanent plugs. These are folks that have helped and supported the Blockhead Radio Show.

Join us next week. We are going to be covering blogging. From setup to making a couple bucks from it. It will be a great show.

Have a Great Week Everybody.

Tonight's Sneak Attack starts at 7pm EST and the shop that is going to get sneak attacked is....

HA! I'm not telling! Guess you'll just have to head over to the thread and/or show up around 7 pm to find out.

Then listen in on the radio show tonight to find out how my first sponsorship of a Sneak Attack went... I'll share the trials, the triumphs, successes, failures, tears and smiles of my first attempt!
