Today is “Ditch Your Resolutions Day”

Today is known as “Ditch Your Resolutions Day.”  What do you think that means? Does it mean we can just do whatever we want today only?  Drink more, smoke, eat fast food…OR, does it mean we are ditching all of our resolutions for the year?  I’m taking it as a day to get myself in check.  Re-evaluate my resolution list. Take today off, start anew tomorrow.  I’ll take this silly made up holiday and use it to my advantage. What will you do?

Crafts To Make With Your Pick Punch

I found this picture on Pinterest.  How cool is this necklace?!

I think if you are a jewelry maker this would be an awesome project.  I don’t think it’s probably very easy to make, but definitely worth the effort.  What are you working on with the Pick Punch?  Any jewelry makers out there crafting up something special to share?  Let us know!  Send us your photos.

What length is your strap?

 

This video made me laugh, but also made me take notice.  Mainly because Paul Gilbert has a definite point of view.  I love when someone feels so strongly about something, that they make a public service announcement in youtube video form.  I have strong feelings about a ton of stuff, but I haven’t made any youtube videos.  Maybe today that will change.  Check it out and let us know if your strap personality is a low-precise, low-relaxed, mid-precise, mid-relaxed, high-precise or high-relaxed.  

Add Guitar to your “Carry-On” List

I just read an interesting article, about carry-on items for aircraft travel.  Before December 30, if you wanted to bring your guitar or other larger musical instrument with you for airplane travel, most likely it would have to be checked.  This rule has changed. Now, according to the US Department of Transportation, if you get on the airplane and there is enough room in the overhead OR in a closet not being used (by crew member luggage or handicapped items) one may place their instrument in that space!  Guitar cases probably take up two spaces that luggage would fit, but no longer are you expected to take it out to make room for the bags.  I think the key to this is getting on first, or as early as you can so to make sure you will have room. And…just a tip: it might help to have a copy of this rule to show the agent working the flight who stands in front of the bag sizer.
