I wanted to instead share some of my favorite finds this week. Not to worry, I'm sure I'll have plenty of things to flip by next week.
The blogging community is chock-full of talented, inspiring individuals. My blogger reader never disappoints. The hardest part is figuring out which ones to bookmark for later. These are a few I wanted to share with you for Friday Favs.
For you photography lovers, you may enjoy this tutorial on panning from the idea room. It's a technique that I have yet to master.
I also found a new photographer at simple. lovely. life on my stroll through the Wordless Wednesday linky party that has yet to be truly discovered. I was drooling over her beautiful work that she shot with her new macro lens.
And speaking of photos, if you want to watermark, the lady blogger's society posted a great tutorial of how to watermark your photos in photobucket. I also learned that you can also do this in picasa or picnik from some of my dedicated readers.
And if you don't want to go to the trouble of watermarking, Jessica from A Look into My Life shared this one with me. This one is a MUST SEE! It's a tutorial from Sneaky Momma Blog Design on how to right click disable photos on your blog. And if not for this, just go peruse. You are sure to find some great tips to enhance your blog.

If you are more of a CRAFTY person, I found a couple fun ideas.
33 shades of green (one of my favorite new stops) shared how to make hypertufa pots. Way cool.
I also found a fun tutorial over at be different act normal on how to make a no sew fabric pup tent. My kinda project.

If ya just need a good laugh... got some of those too.
Laugh out Loud shared a post entitled, Why blogging is good for you...! It was written by Kludgy Mom and is sure to bring some laughs. Another favorite of hers is A Room That Smelled Like Butt: A Mystery [in one part]. This one is actually from a few weeks ago, but it is still fresh in my memory bank. I was laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face.
Amber Page Writes is also another good one for some laughs, from The Craigslist Ad I'll Never Write to A New Way to Look at Pole Dancing.

If you enjoy the touching, raw posts, make sure to check out I'm Baack...Kinda... over at Mommy of a Monster. It struck a cord with many of her followers and is a beautiful post about her struggles with depression.
I know that life is crazy busy for you just like it is for me, so if ya don't have time right now to check these out just bookmark it for later. I'm sharing the best of the best in an attempt to help highlight a few favorites you may have missed.
Have a beautiful weekend, y'all!
