Gettin' Techy with It!

Web OVERLOAD!
With SO many inspiring and innovative resources available to us at the click of a mouse, it can be easy to become overwhelmed and simply withdraw into our comfort zone of the "tried and true".  To help myself utilize more of these resources, I've decided to start collecting them in one place....I know, "what took me so long?"....sometimes it's the simple things that take me a long time to get :-)

So here's to collecting!  Feel free to share your amazing finds in the comments and we just keep adding!!
