I’m now in a mood to really get something creative done, and it is strange that the creative urge gets to me sometimes so strong that I have to do SOMETHING and I have to do it NOW… even if it means the results are poorly done, not thought through, and shoddy. But regardless, here is a new post and some new inspiration for you.
I just became a member of IconBuffet, and I’ve already received 1 free icon set for joining, and you get one every month. Also, you can trade Icon Sets and collect all you want! There is an incredible community of really sharing people, and a need system involving tokens, stamps and awards. I was also given a set just for asking! Or come to think of it, it was offered freely by a total stranger.
So I put this together in Word once I got home from doing the evening running around:
The wreath is just word clipart (but I’m happy about the drop shadow) and those are some pretty sweet icons! Wait till you see how the story ends 
On the topic of icons, there is also a tonne of other free sets out there if you are willing to look. Some pretty sweet ones I just came across today were:
Free Hand-Drawn Web Icons: http://camp.woothemes.com/2009/07/hand-drawn-social-media-icons/
Some samples:
(I added the lines since I don’t want to be share without permission, go to the site and download them yourself).
WooThemes Ultimate Icon set: http://www.woothemes.com/2009/02/wp-woothemes-ultimate-icon-set-first-release/
I love icon sets almost as much as I love fonts, so maybe I’ll try my hand at creating them when things aren’t so busy at work.
If you have any favourite icon sites, post a comment below. Or, send an email and I’ll invite you to IconBuffet… that way I’ll get more icon sets to tell you all about!

This site runs on the Thesis WordPress Theme
If you’re someone who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, HTML, or CSS, Thesis will give you a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via extensive hooks and filters. And with so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site.
If you’re more familiar with how websites work, you can use the fantastic Thesis User’s Guide and world-class support forums to make more professional customizations than you ever thought possible. The theme is not only highly customizable, but it allows me to build sites with a much more targeted focus on monetization than ever before. You can find out more about Thesis below:

Apparently you don’t get a new on every month, but that would be a great idea too
