Raffle to help victims of the Waldo Canyon Fire in Colorado

I live in Colorado and have many friends displaced by the Waldo Canyon fire, several of whom have lost their homes. What's the Waldo Canyon fire? It's an over 16,000 acre wild fire burning in the Rocky Mountains that has so far claimed 347 homes and 2 lives. At this point it is about 25% contained. There are still around 10,000 homes at risk for burning and 30,000 people evacuated.
I'm in cahoots with Ima Zombie of Zombies & Toys for a raffle to raise money for the Waldo Canyon fire. Everyone who donates $5 to the Waldo Canyon fire is entered into the drawing to win a custom zombie bunny made by me!

I Found a Fab Giveaway!

I know I've said it before, but I really like free stuff. Well, I found another awesome giveaway! AND, since I'm all about extra entries to win said free stuff, I'm blogging the giveaway! Woot! But hey, I'm not a jerk who's just gonna post a little linky to the blog with the giveaway and be all "hey look at me I blogged the giveaway I'd like my extra entry". That would be rude. And I'm a proper lady.


Stop laughing. I am a lady. A crude, politically incorrect, zombie obsessed lady, but a lady none-the-less.


So anyway, the shop giving away wonderful free things is Muffin Top Designs. Check out her shop - it's FREAKING AWESOME! But she's not hosting it on her own blog (which you can visit here). Nope! It's being hosted by Epicurean Style!


What do you win?

These ridiculously awesome kick-ass earrings! Hand hammered and cold forged Argentine silver. Want.

But remember, I'm not a jerk so I feel the need to share more of her wonderful designs!

I love these rings! Hand hammered silver and copper. She has such a lovely variety in her shop. And I love how all her jewelry has a loose, organic feel to it.





Her Nest Egg series is equally impressive and beautiful.
Alright. You've got the linkies above. So I suggest you visit Muffin Top's shop and visit the blogs.
Just don't enter the giveaway - I don't want more competition.

Want Free Earrings?

One blog I read daily is MAB's notes on jewelry, life, and ephemera. (A great blog, by the way). So anyway, she's featuring a giveaway from The Lost Earring! Well, I like free stuff, and I like getting more entries for free stuff, so here I go, bloggity blogging the giveaway!

But hey, I'm not a jerk or anything, so I did check out her shop. And let me tell you - she has got some AWESOME stuff!

Like these colored pencil earrings! How cute are these?!

And Japanese maple seeds - very unique and pretty!

I can envision Zan's icky-cute face on one of these!

Very fun stuff!

Alright - back to the giveaway! Want to know what you can win?

Eeep! Cute earrings using film negatives! These would look soooo cute with my new sweater from Victoria's Secret!! Rawr!
Alright - to enter you need to visit Miss MAB!
And don't forget to check out The Lost Earring - you're sure to find something you love!

We need votes!

Many of you know that I'm a member of the Etsy Owls Street Team (stands for Off the Wall Ladies). We're quite an ecclectic and (in)sane bunch!

Spitoon!

Anyway, each month we have a challenge. October's challenge was something you can either wear or carry while trick or treating. All of the challenge pieces are up on the Owls blog, and we need your votes! So take a gander and vote for your favorite!

Maybe your favorite happens to be my severed bunny head trick or treat bag . . . . . jus' sayin'.

So click here . . . . . . . . . . . . or maybe here

or down over here.

My, what big teeth you have . . .

And The Winner Is . . . .

I want to start by saying thank you to all who entered! I appreciate your interest and feedback! There was definitely a theme for people wanting to see more vermin in addition to raccoons, badgers, skunks, hedgehogs, and squirrels! Funny, because I've been wanting to do all of these! They will be slowly making their way into my shop - it'll take time as I haven't drafted any patterns yet. And unless Claire the octopus sells in the next 2 days, she'll be getting a zombified makeover! 'Cause, yeah. She doesn't fit my shop theme.

My son had the honors of picking the winner.

All the entries! Yes, the dumb flash washed them out. Grrrrrr.

Folded and into the mixing bowl!!!

See how professional Ayden is? He's looking away to make sure it's all fair! (actually, he's watching Wonder Pets)

Hamming it up for mom!

This one! Got it!

Read it! Read it!!

That's right! Silly Little Lady is the winner! Check your convo gal!

Again, thank you so much to all who entered. I really do appreciate you taking the time! And don't worry - I'll be having more giveaways! The next one will be in September! (if I'm able, I'm going to try and give away a rat every month!)

Thank you again!

My First-Ever Blog Giveaway!!

That's right! I'm doing my first blog giveaway!! It's terribly exciting - in fact, I just peed a little.

*runs to bedroom to change pants*

I feel better now. Okay! So what am I giving away? Only one of my awesome signature rats!! Oh yeah, baby! Vermin! This guy's name is Winston and he's very excited to travel!

See?! See how cute Winston is?! Don't you just wanna squish him?! DON'T squish him. That's downright mean.

And the best thing about Winston? He doesn't have the plague. That's right!! Plague free! Woohoo!

Golly Cami, I love him! How do I win him?

I'm glad you asked! There's 2 ways to enter:

1. Visit my Etsy shop, take a look around and leave a comment here stating what I should make more of, what I shouldn't make again, OR something you'd like to see me make (you can look through my sold items as well). This will get you 1 entry.

2. Blog this giveaway! Comment here with a link to your blog post. That will get you 2 entries!

And be sure to leave contact info for me in case you're the winner!

This contest will run for one week starting today (Sat. Aug. 8th) and ending on Saturday, Aug. 15th. The winner will be chosen randomly by my 2 year old son on Sunday morning (Aug. 16th).

Alrighty!! Enter away!!
