New Cards! & a new clutch.

It's been awhile since I've posted new cards. These are prints of cards that I've made using vintage illustrations, repurposed with new phrases (: I found these illustrations in a vintage book talking about teen issues. lol

Etsy Sales

O hai.

You ever have those moments where you're doing something so pathetic that it's embarrassing even though no one else knows/notices? It's just embarrassing to yourself. Maybe that's called "shame." Hmm.

Anyway, I had one of those situations today. Earlier this week I FINALLY took my cowboy boots to get re-soled. I haven't worn them in years because there was a hole in the bottom of one of the soles and my foot would get wet ):

I'm ashamed to say, but honestly, I've pretty much been living off my credit cards for the last while, and I generally assume everywhere accepts cards. This shoe repair place is very Mom and Pop, and in fact, it's owned/run by a Korean couple so theoretically they COULD be my mom and pop. Haha. So when I walked in I noticed they only accept cash and checks. I don't carry checks around with me, and even if I did, it wouldn't have done me any good.

Long story short, I had to say I'd be right back, I needed to get some cash. And I spent an hour and a half driving around to the bank to withdraw $20 from my checking, to Safeway so I could buy a diet Coke and get $10 cash back ...

It was so bad I almost succumbed to retail therapy-ing on my way home. lol but I was able to resist.

Anyway, this leads me to my point which is I am conducting a sale in both my etsy stores, hoping to get some more traffic and hopefully some sales! Everything is 30% off or if you buy two items, take 50% off you're entire order (excluding shipping costs). You can order items from both my stores, too. So take a look, if you've been admiring my clutches, here's your chance to get one at 50% off which is a range of $25 - $60ish.

And if you're confused about how I set up the sale, just ask!

swap-bot

Last Minute / Emergency / Back-up Gift Swap!

I'm hosting a swap on swap-bot.com. Sign up and join my swap if you'd like. What is swap-bot? Essentially, it's a site where you can go, sign up for a swap, and send and receive stuff to/from strangers! It's pretty fun if you enjoy sending and receiving snail mail.

Anyway, here is the description for the swap I'm hosting:

Everyone, on occasion, has need for a gift with little to no notice. A backup gift to keep on hand for emergencies. Whether it's a thank you, a hostess gift, an "uhh, of COURSE I remembered your birthday's today" gift, sometimes you just aren't prepared.

In this swap you will be sending one partner a gift (total value of at least $10) that they can keep on hand for the next time they're unprepared for a gift giving occasion!

Since there is no way to know what their next unexpected gift giving occasion is, it's a good idea to keep things relatively non-gender/age specific if you can (or you can make requests of what you would like to receive. for instance, you might want a backup gift for a "girl age 4-6" if you have a daughter who might have friends' birthdays coming up or you could specify "unisex twenty-something" if most of your peers are in their 20's). Also, sending things that are not perishable is a good idea. If you send your partner a batch of your famous chocolate chip cookies, they might be pretty stale by the time he/she needs to use them. Just use common sense (:

In this swap you must include at minimum the following: 1) a gift 2) gift wrap, gift bag or other cute packaging (don't wrap up the item as your partner surely wants to know what's inside before they give it to someone. just include the wrapping in your package. it's okay to put the gift in its wrapping if it's a resealable style bag or something) 3) notecard

The total value of these 3 things should be at LEAST $10. Your items may be handmade or store bought. They must be things you'd actually want to receive or be willing to give to a good friend! Send your partner a nice little package!

Gift ideas could be: Stationery/note cards Chocolate/candies A scarf Plushies/stuffed animals

No participants with ratings less than 4.8 and no recent no sends. Newbies, please send me a message before joining.

This swap is US-only, but if a lot of people like it, I may do it again as an international swap next time.

Hearts should be given for anyone who goes the extra mile (:


And here's a link to a cute gift guide I found while searching for images for my swap: http://www.designspongeonline.com/2007/11/2007-gift-guide-25-and-under.html

PLEATS?! Disturbing dreams and NIN cream

Pleats, please!!

This is the second clutch I've made. Instead of ruffles I went for pleats this time. I used vintage/thrifted fabric for both and sewed them using the machine my grandparents bought me as a high school graduation gift (:

The last couple days I've been sleeping a lot more than usual which is good except for the fact that I've been having crazy disturbing dreams. I often have dreams where I feel paralyzed but awake. And sometimes I hear voices or music. They're always angry voices/music. Sometimes I can force myself to wake up out of these dreams and I did this a couple times and forced myself to be coherent enough to find my phone and write myself memos of what the voices/songs were saying because I wanted to remember them in the morning. Anyway, I forgot I even did this for a day at least. And when I remembered about it, I didn't think there would really be any notes in my phone and that I was just remembering part of the dream. However there were two notes in my phone and they were hellllaa creepy:


"Peron yassir arafat"
"where little. You gotta give me corn the most"


uhhhh, wtf???

I leave you with this video that made me cream my jeans:

Apologies if you tried to leave me comments and the captcha didn't load. It's done it to me when I've tried to comment on other people's blogs too. I just read about it in blogspot's known prob page. So yeah, I disabled the word verification thing for now so you can comment away!

Tonight I've been busy putting some new things on etsy.


Here's a link to my etsy shop.
