Pets, pets, pets

OK, so I recently found this photography blog called I ♥ Faces that has weekly contests. Contests I'd like to start entering. Almost all photos must focus on the face, but the theme differs from week to week. This week the themes are birthday and pets. I don't have any good birthday pics so I'm focusing on pets. I've narrowed it down to these few...help me decide which one to submit!











I'm leaning towards 1 and 4. I love 3, but I'm not sure it's...face-y enough.

Win It Wednesday

OK, OK, I KNOW today is not Wednesday. It's Thursday. Oops...make that Friday. I'm up late again. Imagine that...

Anyways...the reason I'm talking about Win-It Wednesday? Because, it's a fabulous idea I had for my blog. See, I think it would be fun to have little contests to give stuff away on Wednesdays. Not every Wednesday, mind you, but at least once a month. What kind of stuff, you ask? Who knows. Might be jewelry. Might be a cool CD. Maybe it'll be some beauty product that I think is fantastic. Or a book I love. Could be anything. You all like free stuff, right? So, in exchange for the chance to win something awesome, all I ask is one teeny tiny little favor. Won't even cost you anything. All you have to do is mention MY blog and Win-It Wednesday on YOUR blog (and maybe post a little button, if I can figure out how to make one!), along with your answer to whatever question I have posed for the contest, and you're in it to win it. Sound cool? OK, good. Now...go tell your bloggy friends all about it because Win-It Wednesday can't start til I have AT LEAST 10 followers! Think you can do that?

OK, I have some news. Stand back, it just may blow you away. OK, OK, it's not THAT awesome, but I am pleased to announce that The Laughing Girl is now open for business on Etsy.com. I have 7 pieces listed so far, but I will be adding more as time permits. (I am a busy girl working 2 jobs, ya know!) As you've seen, I have many, many more pieces to sell. I'm hoping to get them up by Sunday night/Monday morning, but you know how I am with time...

Anyways, here are the pieces up for sale, complete with the cheezy names I made up for them:

"Dylan"

"Eire"

"Ice Princess"

"Jack Frost"

"Poseidon"

"Here Comes the Sun"

"Tickled Pink"

To see details and more pictures of these bracelets, please visit my store on Etsy.com

Check back often for more pieces, and keep an eye on this blog...I have some big ideas! I'm thinking next week I will do a "How-To" on jewelry making, and I might even have a contest...to give away some jewelry...in the near future! Stay tuned!
