Thank you so much for all your tales of (romantic) woe! You made my decision quite difficult, but I have found my lucky lady - congratulations Miss Kensey Crane! I can't tell you how cute it was to envision a tiny Kensey performing these desperate acts of love. Thank you all for participating and I must make special mention of all the gassy ladies (and their mums), friends, you are not alone! For awhile my diet consisted almost entirely of beans and rice (something I am considering doing again as am presently a itchy mess playing hostess to a variety of itchy spots on my face due to recent dairy, caffeine and wheat consumption). I apologize for my tardy announcement but my internet time has been limited lately as we only have one computer and Landon has (quite fortunately) been a busy bee working on computer leaving me to sit and stare at paper and paints (and much to my chins chagrin, eat cheese). I will hopefully have more time this week to properly update blog and respond to emails and comments! (ps have made a few small updates to shop)

not a kitten but a squirrel for you!

Surprise! Another fun giveaway for you! This time brought to you by lovely Australian ladies Pip and Emma who are inspired by "lazy afternoons and spy novels from the 1940s", most excellent. They produce charming handmade goods while "drinking home brew ginger beer and listening to tunes" (sounds dreamy and delicious). You can find more of their lovely creations in their Etsy Shop here

So in the same manner as my previous giveaway I'm asking for your stories! This time, for all my spring twitter-pated buddies, let's hear your comedic tales of romance! I want to hear stories about exploding bikini tops in front of your highschool crush (hehe Wray), interlocking braces, unfortunate poetry, etc. I'll take any funny story though! The story that successfully causes uncontrollable urination (or close to it, rather) will win the darling squirrel pendant! I'll announce the winner next friday (04/09/10)!

Good luck!
