I love change :D

Thats why we will be fantastic partners in crafting, because I love change and she hates it. We balance each other. I am super excited about what is to come on our blog and in our new etsy shops! Opening day will be sometime around the beginning of February. I'm also excited about my soon-to-be tattoo. Send me ideas! :D

I Don't Like Change

So... we were trying to make some business cards and also setting up our shops, and came to the sad realization that our blog URL was just too long.  And, OMG, trying to change the title was just horrible.
Here's what we tried:
fivesisters
thesistersfive
artsyfartsysisters
craftysisters
craftingsisters
thecraftsysisters
devotedsisters
cincosisters
etc...

And we finally landed on... Tattooed Sisters. 

Before you ask- No, Gena does not have a tattoo.  But she says, "I'll have one by May!"
So I'm letting the title stand.  Mostly because I don't want to change it again.

This means, our few and dear readers, that you need to change your reader settings, your bookmarks, or whatever it is that you need to change.  Thanks for bearing with us! We love you!!

And (drumroll please) we're going to open our shops within the next TWO WEEKS! We are excited.

SOPA links

I don't like to get political.  But today I am!  I want to speak out against censorship.

Today, websites are protesting SOPA, the bill that threatens freedom of information on the internet. One of it's affects- this blog.  Sites like this, with links, ideas, inspiration and content not 100% generated by the owner are in danger.  A site like this could get me sued. This includes sites like Google, Facebook, PayPal, Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter, Craigslist,  etc...  Not to mention our beloved Pinterest! There is no way that the government and corporations are going to be sensible about things, they've already shown that they won't be. (see video)

I'm not blacking out, because I just don't have the audience for it, but, as usual, I'll leave you with some links...

A great info-graphic that helps explain the dangers of SOPA 
SOPAblackout.org - GREAT video, please watch
Congress's willful tech and social ignorance
