So I guess I'm just nerdy


As a kid of the 80's who can resist such nostalgic geekery? I'M so very tempted to get these awesome Mario Brothers Coasters for myself about about 20 others who'd appreciate this neat find. Pure GOLD! LostMitten's shop is chock full of nerdy goodness that I just love! Go check that out!


Also, we are in the process of doing some more fun reupholstering. a chair ...in some glitter vinyl. Once the hot Mr. of the house refinishes the wood, we'll cover that old thing and make it glorious as it was in its hay day.

I Love NPR - New Treasury!

I have been pretty hooked on NPR and CPR-(Chicago Public Radio) so much lately I decided to make a treasury reflecting how much I enjoy it. I donated recently cuz of course to support them but mostly to be entered to win a Wii - which were being given away every hour. I didnt win it, but at least I'll get a cool t-shirt with and old timey radio on it. Ok, enough yammering - enjoy the treasury!

Noviembre Givaway!

OK, ok, ok...I was so busy with Halloweenieness that I had no time for the Last Friday Giveaway I have every month. So here we are in November and in need of another giveaway. oh, and hey! History was made last night with the election of America's first African American president. Amazing. It was cool that Obama had his party here in Chicago. My husband went downtown last night and got a ton of Obama shirts and posters, met stars, and what-not. Fun times.
Anyways, back to the giveaway. This month's giveaway is.......a GLITTER VINYL sampler that I sell in my shop! pick your favourite colours (I now have black in stock!) This stuff is so fun and sparkly. Its some serious eye candy...I just stare at it for hours. No, I don't, but I could if I had the time. How you enter is simpler than simple; you just comment with your favourite item from my shop - and RENAME that item OR just "follow" my blog! It ends in 5 days!! Ok, go for it!!
