Become A Fan of Linda Walsh Originals Dolls on Facebook!

Linda Walsh's Facebook profile


You're going to think I'm crazy, but I've been playing again. This time it's on Facebook.com.

I learned of Facebook.com several years ago from my granddaughter when she was in college. It seems it was the website for all the college kids to have to introduce themselves, get to know their roommates and other students at the college, etc. At that time it was really just for college kids.

Well, that was then and now is now. Facebook.com has suddenly grown into a behemoth of a website that everyone and anyone needs to have a page one. It seems like it is THE PLACE NOW to get your name and/or business out there. So, since a few of my Internet friends were all joining and setting up their pages I decided to join in.

Well, I have to tell you that I like certain parts of Facebook and there are parts I don't like. There's a LOT there, but I found that it wasn't that easy initially to maneuver your way around especially from your personal page to your fan pages, which is where you would set-up a page for your business. For some reason they like to keep the two separate.

I did love the fact that they had networked blogs. I could add all my blogs and have all those blogs be followed by all my friends if they wanted to. Plus, I could see all the blogs my friends were following and add them to my list if I wanted to. In addition, if your blog has enough followers then every time you post something to your blog the RSS feed is automatically added to your profile wall.

So, I set-up a Linda Walsh page. If you'd like to visit my public profile page please CLICK HERE. If you want to see my detailed page you'll have to become a member of Facebook.com and then request to become a friend of mine.

If you do decide to become a member of Facebook.com and a friend of mine please visit my profile page, then click on my "INFO" tab, then scroll down to Pages and click view all. Then just click on my Linda Walsh Originals page to become a fan of my Linda Walsh Originals page on Facebook. Just CLICK HERE and then click "Become A Fan" in the top right hand corner box.

I set-up fan pages for my Linda Walsh Originals website, my Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns website, my Linda Walsh Originals Dolls website, my Gray Is Beautiful Gallery, my Linda's Bookstore on Dolls and Doll Making, my Linda's Bookstore on Crafts and Craft Making, and my Top Blogs By Crafters toplist. You'll find them all listed under the "View All" section of the Pages part of my INFO tab.

Cloth Doll Artistry - So Many Great Changes!



There is a LOT going on around here and I seem to be involved in lots of different things that are all coming together at the same time.

One of the things I have become involved in is to be the coordinator for the new Crafts Studio over at Cloth Doll Artistry. Connie McBride Johnson set-up Cloth Doll Artistry, which is one of the Ning Communities that I LOVE, for cloth doll artists to showcase their creations and share their knowledge with other doll enthusiasts.

Connie wanted her community to be a teaching community and asked Kat Lees, Karen Mallory, Lori Ventimiglia and I to help her with her vision. She wanted to create five studios for learning creating, and sharing of information. Each member was assigned a studio to maintain.

Connie manages the Cloth Doll Studio, Kat manages Santa's Studio, I manage the Crafts Studio, Karen manages the Pin Doll Studio , and Lori manages the Soft Animals Studio. Each of the studios is included in the GROUPS section of the community and all members are invited to join in and participate in any one or all of the studio's.

Connie has all sorts of things planned for the studios, offering members of Cloth Doll Artistry doll challenges, special discounts on patterns and e-patterns, special discounts on classes, FREE classes, and more. You have to be a MEMBER of Cloth Doll Artistry to participate in whatever is going on at the studio's.

If you love dolls of every type, shape, and category we'd love to have you come join Cloth Doll Artistry. If you do, please visit all the studio's and let us know what you think.
