Did you know that Google Friend Connect is ending? Yeah, I didn’t either until yesterday! I’ve just posted about this over at my Tattered Sisters blog and included information on what it means, how it affects you, and I provide you with an alternative to GFC for your blog. Please hop over to Tattered Sisters via the link below to get more information on this!

Goodbye Google Friend Connect

Cupid Cries Vintage Photo

Art Chick — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:24:31 +0000

I just added something new to my Graphics Freebies in the Box.net download box here on the blog. It’s a vintage photo I’m calling Cupid Cries, and it has an adorable “cupid” who is not too happy. Poor thing! It would be darling for a hang tag, an altered art project, or for all sorts of different crafty projects for Valentine’s Day.

Just visit the download box on the right hand side of the blog to snag this freebie that you are welcome to use for your personal, non-commercial use.
