Below, you’ll find – pardon my French – a metric shit-ton of links. I decided to go big this week in honor of the new year, so it’s broken down into the best of Wicked Whimsy this year, a miniature link roundup for the new year, and then some miscellaneous links. But first! I need your input. If you’ll click here you’ll be taken to a survey about the ebook I’m working on, called Take Back Your Creativity. It’s only four questions, three of them multiple choice. And then after that, if you could click here and complete the survey about Wicked Whimsy in general, I would be forever in your debt. (That one is six questions, five of them multiple choice.) I’ll be using the input you give me to help create more awesomeness in 2011! Thank you for taking the surveys!
Without further ado, here’s the best of Wicked Whimsy in 2010. Picked by a combination of most popular & my favorites, and broken down into categories for your perusal.
