Shhhh don't tell the rats.

I ordered these on Zibbet for a gift for The Purple Rat's rats. She has 4 rats, so I figured 2 per tent.  You can find these and many other pretty pet tents at Laurel's Zoo on Zibbet. 

Double the Luck

I bought these lucky pennies on Zibbet. They will be my gift to my daughter's dog. Why two? Because I  put a different phone number on each one. If the dog is lost, and the finder calls one number and gets no answer, there is still another number to call. I thought they were cute and would make fun dog jewelry. They came in a box with a ribbon ready for gifting. 

A Peek into How I Make Business Cards

When I get an order for a shop banner or a business card, oftentimes the customer pretty much leaves it up to me to design it for them. Without any vague idea as to what the customer wants sometimes I end up making up to 25 designs or more before my customer and myself are happy with the end results. I don't mind one bit. I want my customers to be 100% happy and I want to love the end result as well.

Currently I am working on a business card for JacBer Creations which is based in New Zealand and has a shop on Zibbet. Here is proof #1, proof #2 and proof #3. Her business card may end up like this or it may become something totally different. Stop back again to see how this business card by Portable Graffiti Graphics evolves.

Proof #3

UPDATE Proof #4 (per Nifty's Comments and another change I made)

UPDATE Proof #5: Just playing around.

Don't Forget Those Who Don't Use Computers

I was just reading a nice post by Gypsy Goods and it reminded me of a favorite song of mine.

This was FuN ::: Quilts Made in a Tin Can

I sold another banner on Zibbet. A sale is nice to get, yes, yeah, WOOT!, and all that hip hip hooray stuff. But besides the dollar factor it was the communication and friendly banter back and forth, the LOLs, that made this an especially fun Zibbet Shop Banner to do. The "communication" factor and the "making friends" factor is the best part of selling on line.

Now that this banner, avatar and business card is done, I can tell you that shopping with the Tin Can Quilter will be a pleasurable experience. 

Stranger turned friend and I look forward to the Tin Can parking in my yard for a visit someday. 

Check out the Tin Can Quilter to read how her shop was named and all about the "real tin can."

Update on Gypsy Goods Organic Coffee Filters

If you haven't switched to fabric coffee filters yet, I urge you to get with the program. You don't want to throw all those coffee filters in the trash, do you? I hope not. Some are made of 100% paper, and can go in your compost pile. Do you have a compost pile?

Some paper filters have other weird unidentifiable things in them that your coffee has to seep through before you get to drink it. Yuck.

Beyond going "green" there is another reason to use fabric coffee filters. Saving Green....money. You will save an incredible amount of money when you no longer have to write coffee filters on your grocery shopping list.

They are so easy to use. They start out white. With each use they turn brown and browner, which is just the lovely coffee naturally dying the color of the fabric.

In this photo of my coffee filters, some of which I have been using for years, I have assessed each one. The results are that Gypsy Goods Organic Coffee Filters which you can find on Zibbet, are the best in every way. Get yours today and stop tossing filters and money in the garbage (or compost pile.)
