Hanging Out in the Zibbet Community

I check the Zibbet Community Hub often throughout the day and evening. But I don't stay there long because I have work to do. I use the forum there but hardly ever do I look at the chat feature. Last night I did for some unknown reason. I met a new Zibbeter, made a new friend. We got talking about how broke we are. She needed a shop banner. And I made a trade. Victorian Spice has lots of neat treasures from yesterday for you to find today.

This is her new shop banner and avatar made by me, Portable Graffiti Graphics.

This will be my new grinder when it arrives. My mother used to have one like this.

There are plenty of treasures at Victorian Spice, so get over there and see what you find.

So Pretty for Baby Gift from Mimi & Colette

This is my second purchases from Mimi and Colette. Her items always come beautifully wrapped with the tissue paper not taped so it can be reused. Pretty ribbon that goes will with the gift inside. I bought a large fabric gift bag for a baby shower present and a duck bib. Both the bag and the bib are reversible. She even sent me a free gift. I'm keeping the fabric bracelet for myself. In fact, I am wearing it now. It's really nice and you don't even know you are wearing it. Makes me want a bunch more of them. At Mimi & Colette you always find new and interesting things to buy....everything from shopping bags to pet supplies. Quality made products at affordable prices. 

I also love how Mimi & Colette presented her business card, so it coordinates with the gift, which assures the person will include the card when they give the gift. 

x' and o'x Came with this Zibbet Purchase

I bought this cool gypsy bracelet for my daughter for christmas. I hardly ever buy her jewelry but for some reason this bracelet called out to me. The beads are from Morocco. It arrived wrapped in pretty rose tissue paper that wasn't taped, so I could open it, see it, and reuse the paper for wrapping it back up. I love the x's and o's ribbon. And I even got a free gift of pretty earrings. So now I have another gift to give someone. Check out From Me To You on Zibbet. 

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 #1

Proof #2

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.
