Let's get out there and Socialize...

Have you seen these sweet little social icon images on your friends pages? They're popping up everywhere.. And they're such a fun and easy way to show off your Facebook, Twitter and Rss links, without spelling them out on your navigation bar or your sidebar.. Just a few simple images say it all.. You can find ones that are crisp and clean or you could go with grungy.. Like the ones I'm showing you today..  They're small enough to fit 3 in one sidebar gadget, saving space and cleaning up your blogs sidebar.. Gotta love that..(smiles)

Now, I'd be happy to make you a set of 3 social icon buttons, and I'll set up your link codes too, for the small price of ten dollars.. Just contact me today and we can chat about what style you'd like..  I can offer you Heart shaped, old grungy stamps, bottlecaps or brown paper cutouts..  (see my stamp set at the top of right sidebar)

Thanks so much for stopping by, Enjoy your day..

 Good afternoon.. Today I have two lovely framed buttons for you.. A sweet way of saying 'Thanks' to your visitors for taking the time to comment.. Just copy the code under the button of your choice and paste it into a new 'html' gadget on your blogs sidebar.. These do look their best on a white or light coloured posting area, as they have a transparent background.. Drop me a line if you have an idea for a sidebar button/badge.. I'd love to hear from you..  Thanks so much for stopping by..

Enjoy your day..
