happy first of december! christmas is just a couple of weeks away so to get in the spirit i’ve given the site a festive makeover. click through if you’re in a rss reader and tell me what you think. i’m pleased to say the bulk of my christmas shopping is done and the rest i’m hoping to knock off in no time at all. our tree is yet to come though – i have to wait until after a photographer has visited before i get all out crazy-christmas style!
and speaking of christmas, i was honoured to participate in kara haupt’s christmas print project. you can help too by purchasing one of the 4×6 inch prints for $6 or you could go for the whole package of 5 prints for $24. all profits will go the the mercy house, a six-bed maternity home for pregnant girls and staff on the outskirts of nairobi, kenya. share some fab art & the festive spirit! everyone wins.
also, if you’re in the market for an advent calendar, might i remind you about the groovy one i made for toffee magazine? download toffee, print and paste together! could it get any easier?! me thunk snot!
and lastly, a final reminder about my online yard sale. i’ll be closing my yard sale at 12am melbourne time on sunday the 5th. other sellers may still be participating so don’t forget to stop by the ‘yards’ to check out some of the thrifty potential xmas presents on offer:
anyway: seeing as i’ve been sick once a month for the past, er.. six months(!!) i’m going to take this week slow and try and recover properly once and for all! so consider me jamming a stick in this hamster wheel, and taking a mini-break before yard sale/christmas/california holiday frenzy commence! i really don’t want to keep getting sick. its bumming me out and i think my body is getting fed up too. i want to keep this draw! pilgrim, not rest in peace! pilgrim.
so i will return next week, and hopefully you can all buy my yard sale stuff and get me a stay at the mayo clinic, ok? mmmmm mayo. don’t forget to click the link in the lefthand sidebar to checkout the OTHER yard sales linking to mine!
