Momzilla in the Morning

I have come to realize that I am quite a growly bear first thing in the morning, the person who most experiences this is my daughter. Now she could be jumping all over the bed and singing at the top of her lungs and it wouldn't bother me... However when you start touching me [read: laying, rolling, bouncing or otherwise actively engaging my person] or getting in my face asking my something, it only takes about 6 seconds. Is this unreasonable? To not want to me jostled, sat on or spoken to for at least an hour, more like two, after waking? I mean It takes me 20-30 minutes as it is from the time of waking to actually getting out of the bed.

I had more to say but i got sidetracked into making pb&j sandwich butterflies and have since forgotten. I still intend to share my ravelympics project, I need to buy more batteries for the camera to take pictures. I may resort to using my phone which is definitely not an iPhone that takes abnormally prodigious photos (you make me sick).

Inamorata

I'm BACK! Did you miss me? I hope so because I missed you. In honor of returning to all things Peppermint Knits, I made a treasury. It actually came off the list today, I meant to post this previously. I named it Inamorata, I thought the title was pretty self explanatory...



Tomorrow I will hopefully be posting about my Ravelympics project!

Giveaway Winners!

Are you excited?? I am! Ok so you know the process, i pledge to you honesty. I rechecked my running list to be sure i knew everyone's number of entries. There was a total of 21 Entrants and a total of 42 entries between them all. All names were written in pencil on squares of paper that were all the same size, then balled up and tossed in a jar. They were shaken and stirred. My three year old was the one to reach in and randomly hand me three with no hesitation. The winners are placed by number of entries, so the one with the most will be in 1st place.

Are you ready to see the winners? Ok here there are! In this order.
1st: Turtlevillage 2nd: ItsfromArizona 3rd: CraftyJemima

Happy Friday!

It's a beautiful Friday morning! I'm sipping an eggnog latte, updating the giveaway entries and looking over my calender. There are 10 more days to enter the giveaway, which means 10 more days to tweet tweet tweet for even MORE entries. I am really excited about it so don't miss out!

I've added a new listing as well. The Ring Around the Posie Hat in Bluebell. So sweet! Love it, love it! The next color in line i am actually almost done with and it is a darker purplie color, i am trying to decide whether to call it plum or fig. Maybe I'll run a poll.

It's a CoSwap!

I was thinking of random things and this popped in my head. A CoSwap! what the heck is that you ask? It's coupon swapping!

So it's a little more in depth than it appears at first glance. What I mean by this is to have a collaboration among a few sellers(at least), maybe i'll start a twibe for it or something... What would happen is this, a group of sellers would swap "coupon" cards. I don't know about the rest of you, but i have little thank you cards that also have a 10% off coupon for their next purchase. So what would happen is each seller would send some of there coupon cards to each of the other sellers. When sellers are packing up sales they should include like 3 other coupon cards along with their own, rotating if need be so everyones card has a fair chance.

These coupon cards should be not so much an advertisement as an additional thank you, and no more than 3 because you don't want to bombard the customer. This would give sellers a chance get some more exposure as well as keep the customers coming back. Whether or not they use the coupons they are going to remember getting them, or maybe they will give them away to friends. I think this would be good for everyone involved. What do you think?
