A couple of off-topic announcements today

1) Do you shop on Etsy.com? Have you heard about the new Region Filter? It is the latest change. Most people I have talked with have not heard of it yet. Basically, unless you go in & change your Region Filter you are only browsing items from sellers in your default country. If you want to browse items from around the globe, you have to set your filter to "everywhere". This is easy to do - click here for my step by step instructions.

2) Midsummer Night is the new prompt for  IllustrationFriday.com. If you feel inspired, post your creation & then add a link over at IF. Hopefully I can steal some doodle-time today as this sounds like a fun one.
