Two, count em, two this week! Dancing With The Stars ends tomorrow (Go Apolo!) and Idol on Wednesday (Go Blake!) But we get a new one starting Thursday with So You Think You Can Dance, so we don’t have to go into full blown withdrawal all at once. Whew! (Now if we could just convince them to reduce that whole audition round thing to like, one week, that would be great.)

In the meantime, I thought I’d share a whole ‘nother piece of info with you guys. A lot of you Blog Babes who have been hanging out in these parts for a while, know I also run the education program at Recollections, a local craft store. Well, still doing that, still loving that, so much so that I’ve also recently become a demonstrator for a private craft company as well. (Because, you know, why waste time sleeping?)

In the craft industry, a number of folks create things for fun and profit and there are a slew of companies out there who won’t let you use their stuff for things you stand to profit on. Those companies who do let you use some of their products for profit are this thing known as the “angel” list. This company I chose to work with has dedicated their entire line to the creative cause for those just having fun, as well as those trying to make a living through their art - hence their name, The Angel Company.

If this fits in with any of you out there who also work in the craft field as a business, or just like to have fun playing with paper and ink, go check them out! They’re fun, cute, priced below market, as well as being a great group of folks to play with.

Here’s my link: www.donnak.ismyangel.net For whatever reason, it won’t let me make this a functional link, but it does exist over there in the right hand column under Cool Links and Back to My Home Page.

Now, for this week’s SHaQ Attack contest…it’s easy and fun. You get to Pick a Hero! Who grabbed your attention, maybe a piece of your heart, or just made you want to drag him off into a nice dark corner for awhile? Send your answers to donna@donnakauffman.com with “I Want…” in the subject line. All you have to do is participate to be eligible. I’ll draw a winner from all entrants on Friday! Winner gets a book of their choice from my website bookshelf. (No, I can’t arrange a free date with any of my recent cover models. More’s the pity!)

Have fun! Happy Monday!
