an enumeration of joys

In spite of being a rational, "it's just a number" gal 99.13% of the time, I'm admittedly somewhat freaked out about a Certain Birthday being less than a month away. ( So, to tell my subconscious to SHUT UP ALREADY... )

... but the ultimate point of this list is that these treasures shouldn't stay confined to my hodgepodge of archives and memories; if by linking to them I can spark new connections, commissions, and/or gleeful mayhem among all y'all -- or just provide you with an extra bit of sparkle or comfort to your day -- that will make me very happy indeed.

( 40 splendid creations )

In short: network of awesome. And now I gotta get back to hammering away at my own stuff... :-)
