It's Getting to Be That Time of the Year...

When it's time for out with the old, in with the new. Which means in essence that over the next week or so I will be cleaning out my "blogs I follow list" for the new year. Fear not, if you've been blogging steadily for the past 6 months, I will not be deleting your blog from my list. I know, life gets in the way, things happen. But I'm really going to try to make a concentrated effort to follow, read, and reply to blogs I SAID I'd follow. Otherwise, it's just lip service when I say "I'm following you!" and really does the blogger no good to get no feedback from people who are following them. Trust me, I'd rather you dumped me for non participation in my own blog than stick around waiting for me to tap tap tap something, anything on the keys.

So if you know I've been following you and all of a sudden you don't see me on your list of million minions, don't take it personally. I just got to, you know? And if you plan on doing better on your blog in 2011, just drop me a comment on this post and I"ll re-follow you, just as long as I don't just see crickets for the next six months every time I check my dashboard, your blog is safe.

25% off Sale Going on now

Turquoise Teardrop Pendant Set

Well after the hustle and bustle of yesterday (who am I kidding, I was a couch potato all day) it's time to get back to Zibbet business. I am currently running a 25% off sale on select items, plus, if you've got me followed on Twitter you will find that I have also posted a code there for an additional 5% off for a possible savings of 30%. That's a pretty mad deal.

I guess I'll have to start taking the tree down today (or tomorrow, or the next day). As much as I love the tree, I can't wait to get it down after the 25th. I know, bah humbug.

Well have a nice day, folks, hope you have a great Sunday.

Merry Christmas, Y'all!

Today is the day you spend with family and friends and share in the holiday cheer! We woke up this morning (kinda late!) and my daughter, husband and I opened our gifts before my daughter had to jet off to her bio dads house across town to celebrate the holidays. It was a nice morning of laughter and excitement. It's nice to see that even at 20, 43 and 45 we all still enjoy ripping open a wrapped package.

I'm keeping this one short. I've tamales to steam and beef ribs to cook, macaroni salad to mix and green beans to prepare. Have a great day with your family, and remember and pray for those who don't have anyone this holiday season. And keep those who keep us safe, our troops, close to your heart.

And no matter your preference, you know the sentiment is meant with love and affection: MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Fabulous Finds

Since joining Zibbet, I have to admit that I have not spent a lot of time window shopping there. I've been so busy trying to establish my shop there, get my blog straight here, make sure my items listed EVERYWHERE are straight that I have not stopped to check out all of the cool items that people are creating at this relatively new selling venue. LOC Design's Studio Started a forum post in the Zibbet Community called Fun Finds, which I think is a great idea, so I'm going to incorporate it into my blog. But you know me. I'm going to call it my Fabulous Finds. This is my first Zibbet Fabulous Find.


This is a handmade, upcycled hat by a shop owner called delightworthyn. There are a lot of things in this shop that are vintage inspired or "Neo Vicorian" as the shop refers the pieces as, and just a lot of downright coolness. I usually dress conservatively (in the artists "uniform" of black black black!), but adding a splash of FIERCE such as this topper (or any of her pieces, frankly) would make my day. Go take a look. You might find cool pair of strawberry earrings made from a vintage applique, a lacy messenger pouch, or a fire engine red poppy brooch. But keep your hands off the hat. I plan on stalking it for a while.
