So many things to blog about.....

I have so many things to blog about I am getting behind and had to make a written list.

So coming soon........

1. A blog post about a contest entered on "Great Finds" and won vegan makeup from "Mineral Love." Since I don't wear makeup, Mineral Love put together a package of makeup for BOTH my daughters using photographs of them. As soon as both daughters are home at the same time I'll get them to use it and I'll take photos to post here.
2. A blog post about an email I got announcing I was the winner of fabric drawstring bag that turned out to be a mistake, because I actually did not win. Wait till you read how that turned out......it;s a touching story. Coming soon with photos.
3. A blog post about a super nice buyer who used the origami she bought from my daughter in one awesome wall decoration for her home. Don't miss that post!
4. A blog post about a trade I did of buttons for a pillow and where that pillow was headed....... This will be a fun one.
5. A blog post about my daughter's birthday, the one who loves duckies, and the 2 cool duckies I found on Zibbet.
6. A blog post about a seller on Etsy who makes fiber bowls. My daughter bought me one of the bowls 2 Christmases ago and OMG what happened to. 

I suppose I should blog about the 6 orders from 2 of my Zibbet shops that are spread out on my desk right now.....but I'm quitting blogging for now and going to finish up my orders.

Stop back in soon, please.

Cool New Shop On Zibbet.....

A cool new shop that is all about salvaging and upcycling fiber into art asked me to make a banner and buttons for her. This is what I made. You can visit her shop at http://www.zibbet.com/upcycleFiberArts

If you want your own matching banner and advertising pinback buttons you can find them here. http://www.zibbet.com/WildGooseChase

I opened a "NEW" shop on Zibbet for your proofreading needs

Prices start at 50¢.

In order to sell on Zibbet it helps to have good spelling and well worded "announcements" on your main page, correct spelling on your "profile," and "descriptions" of your items that are easy to read and include all the pertinent information a buyer needs to make a decision to purchase.

Can't spell? Hate writing? I can help. My proofreading service has low prices and is broken down into categories of the pages on your Zibbet shop.

Shop Front: The main page text at the top of your Zibbet shop.
Profile: The page that tells about you.
Policies: The page that lets buyers know about your shipping information and payment requirements.
Item Description: The pages that tell about each individual item you post for sale.

I have broken down categories into number of words, from 25 words to 500 words. 


My Profile Page tells a little about my experience.  And shows just a few of the hundreds of books I have proofread. 


I'd be happy to help you with your Zibbet Shop.

Happy Earth Day!

Dropped my daughter, The Purple Rat off at the college this morning all dressed for Earth Day in her "Tread Lightly" t-shirt made of organic cotton, her locally made palm straw hat, a ring she made from newspapers, a beaded bracelet made from legos and another one made of paper beads. She is wearing her rat necklace made from a bottle cap. She has a bead in her braid she made out of fabric.

She is standing in front of a patch of Saw Palmetto which are native to Florida and in the background are Native Slash Pine trees.  The entire college campus grounds are environmentally correct.

Happy Earth Day Kelly!
Love,
Mom

Burning the midnight oil

Round about midnight I sold a shop banner and decided to stay up and get it done right away. Really nice customer who knew just what she wanted incorporated into her banner. Leopard and Hot Pink.

 

Sewlicitations has been sewing since she was a young child. You can read about her experience here.

She'll be adding items to her Zibbet Shop this week. Mark her shop as a favorite and check back to see her work.

She was pleased with her banner and left me fabulous feedback.

If you would like any custom graphic work for a banner, avatar, business cards, ads, flyers, bookmark designs, invitations, birthday cards, holiday cards, you can contact me here.

I can also design pinback buttons, mirrors, magnets or key chains for your shop or any event. Samples of these products can be found at Portable Graffiti.
