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.

I was featured on LOC Designs Studio blog
Vicki who has a Zibbet Shop wrote a nice article on Mother's Day Trivia.
Vicki used my newest button, "Mother Hen" which I made from a graphic design created by Vink who also has a Zibbet Shop.
I also used the Vink Design to create this button for chicken lovers, backyard chicken enthusiasts, homesteaders, poultry farmers, and urban chicken keepers.

Time for a Zibbet Update
Everyone has heard of Zibbet by now. But did you know:
Just in the last week they've sold over 300 Premium Accounts! And over 200 were sold the week before that.
Zibbet has a new promotion going on. Just $8 month for a Premium shop but.....over 250 sold already in 4 days, & only 214 left!
........That's what they said yesterday!!!!!
But I just checked and now there are only 155 left.
My shop has 95 sales already. So I just can't say enough great things about Zibbet.

Moving on down the road....
When I was a kid my family moved around a LOT! My father worked for the government, so I spent my childhood moving. We also took weekend road trips and thus my father collected a lot of maps. As an adult I moved around pretty often also, living in New York, New Hampshire, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, California and Florida. IN addition to road maps, my parents subscribed to National Geographic Magazine. Every magazine comes with a cool map as large as a wall poster. Guess who ended up with all the maps?
Now it's time to use those maps up. I am using all the parts I can and then will recycle what is left. I am a fanatic when it comes to keeping things out of the landfills.
Here are some of the map buttons I made so far in 4 sizes. What map button would love to have? Just ask me. Maybe it is a favorite place you to live or a dream place you wish to move to. Let me see if I can find it for you and make you a button. Choose a Big 4" or Standard 2 1/4", my favorite Medium size 1 3/4" or a Tiny 1 1/4" button. You can find my map buttons HERE.
