Cute hippo

I was just reading on the Etsy forums and came across this seller:

http://www.amigurl55.etsy.com. She has this cute little hippo that I want to take home with me.



Isn't that hippo fierce?

I was featured :)

Aw, I was featured on Smashgirl's blog here

I love when people think I'm worthy of blogging about. It makes me feel really appreciated. Thank you, Smashgirl!

Glamasaurus

Another chat-favorite of mine is glamasaurus.



I reallllly wanted one of these but I procrastinated too long and now I'm "broke". Ah, next year maybe.


I love these hairpins



Here's what glamasaurus had to say:

How long have you been crafting?
I have been crafting for as long as I can remember. I used to make little scenes with dollhouse miniatures. My grandparents actually still have them!

How long have you been making glamasaurus-type items?
Six years ago I moved to Switzerland. I couldn t find any hair clips I liked that were cute and funky so I started making my own. I branched out from there!

Where did you come up with your name?
One day it just came to me while I was in the shower. I could not get it out of my head so I asked my husband what he thought about it since he is my assistant in all things glamasaurus! We both liked it and then he whipped up my lovely website!

Cutie patootie. :)

Cute stuff

Here are some cute items/sellers I've found recently. Enjoy! I'm off to a night of CSI: Miami marathon-ing. I also have chocolate, but don't tell!

PS- I JUST noticed that there are now two free project wonderful ad spaces on the left sidebar of my blog. Grab 'em while you can :)

Stamperooni

Imagine my delight when I met Stamperooni in one of the Etsy chat rooms a couple of weeks ago. Not only does she have cute monster commercial/supply stamps



but she also makes her own handcarved stamps!



A penguin!


I caught up with Stamperooni in chat earlier and we had a fun whisper session. She's a totally sweet seller. Here is just a tiny excerpt from the part of our conversation that is relevant. :)

scarfmonsters: Why do you make stamps?
Stamperooni: Because I couldn't find the type of stamps I was looking for, so I decided to just make them myself.
scarfmonsters: Which of your stamps is your favorite- or do you like them all equally?
Stamperooni: I love the little speech bubble ones that say Merci and Thank You the most.

There you have it! I'm off to go stare at her stamps for the next few hours.
Ta-Ta!

Oooh-lala

Oh, what a sweet boyfriend I have!

Look what he posted!!


Anyway, we're off to the Redbox machine. If they have The Dark Knight, it's ours. If not, oh well. I found a site with codes for the redbox and using the Promo code "REDBOX" gets you a free rental!

Also, The Thrifty Mama has codes for a free movie rental on Sunday's. She also posts on Mondays with a free code for Monday night. Definitely worth a trip to your nearest Redbox!

Wow

I was buzzed at Ohana Mama today. I think this is sooooo neat! Thank you to Erin Tales for commenting about the buzz!

Look what Friday's mail brought me!

Friday, I went to the mailbox and saw I had a package. I eagerly headed inside to tear that baby open!



What was inside?



A box! Oh wow, a box all to myself? I've always..ooh, there's something inside.



Gasp! And they're so pretty too. :)



Wainbowmudd makes such high quality hair clippies! I've been wearing mine since I got them on Friday. Ok, I take them off to go to bed, but you get the point. They are so perfect for me because I have gotten in the habit of wearing clips ever since I decided I would look AWESOME with bangs..but didn't look so hot.

I love them so much. The biggest thing I've noticed is that they're easy to get even if they're at the bottom of my purse. Try that with plain ol' bobby pins. It's not going to happen! These are so strong and could probably hold my bangs back through a hurricane.

Run, don't walk to Wainbowmudd 's shop to buy some of these!
