Christmas Shipping Deadlines

It's Christmas Shopping Season! And what better way than to buy handmade things online and have them delivered to your door?

I will do my absolute best to get all packages out ASAP, but if you want to be on the safe side, place your orders no later than December 17.

International customers, I cannot guarantee Christmas delivery, but I will do my absolute best.

For both domestic and international customers, I am more than willing to ship priority or express, provided you contact me prior to purchase so I can revise the shipping in your desired listing(s).

Happy shopping, everyone, and spread the joy of handmade gifts this year!

How'm I doin'?

Just a quick update on the weight loss front.

Last night I officially reached the ten pound mark! Just fifty to go now ;)

And so far $16.67 from store sales has been raised for Locks of Love. When worn in pigtails, I have five inches of hair to donate so far.

Fifty pounds of fat and five inches of hair to go. Think I can do it?

Featured Friend -- LilMouse Creations

Allow me to introduce you to my dear friend, LilMouse. She is an excellent chain mail artisan, and I've patronized her shop many times myself. I'm sure you can find something in her shop for yourself, or to give someone as a gift, so please check her out!

Buy Handmade!

I'd like to encourage everyone to Buy Handmade not only this holiday season, but whenever the opportunity arises. When you buy handmade items, you are buying from someone who takes pride in what they do. Love and care go into each item, giving you quality you just can't get from mass-produced assembly line products.

Everyone wins when you buy handmade. You get a unique, quality, and often one-of-a-kind product, and you support talented artists and craftizens, enabling them to continue creating wonderful things, and contributing to the happiness and well being of everyone involved.
