Out! Out! Damn Spot!

Dum da dum dum.

Last we heard from our heroine, she was green with grinch and melancholy to boot. Alas, her luck hath not turned!

In fact, she discovered this morning that 2 of the 3 new pair of pants she recently bought have been successfully delegated to the trash heap courtesy of overzealous shower cleaning while blowdrying her hair in a frantic rush to get ready in the a.m.'s.

And yet...what peeks yonder thar? (In Oklahoma, thar is a word. Trust me.)

Tis that a smile?

What brought on this miraculous turnabout?

The magnificence of this:
Didja know you could do this?


Or this?


Or even this?

(Scary tat'd muffin top not included. And totally not me. Yikes.)

Neither did I. My bleach spots always end up looking a lot more like something I need to grab a Sharpie markie to color in and a lot less like wearable graffiti.

Other mood enhancers...

1. M&Ms. Shaken, not stirred.
2. Blatant flattery. Uh huh.
3. Kitties.
4. Sappy movie on the Disney Channel about an American Girl doll character. (Ignore cringe-worthy dialogue.)
5. FINALLY wrapping some presents.
6. Did I mention I'm off 1/2 a day tomorrow???
7. Never referring to myself in the 3rd person again.

O Christmas Concert....

I'm taking the afternoon off tomorrow to go to my 11 year-old's first ever Band Concert. It's a Christmas theme, of course. (We still do that here, thank goodness.) He plays saxophone.

It should be very entertaining.

I find it interesting that they're only having the concert in the middle of the day, not at night....was this to discourage parents from attending or are they just trying to protect us? ;)

I wouldn't miss it for the world!!

Grinched.

I can't get into the holiday spirit.

I put my tree up.

I've bought presents.

I'm tired and crabby and all in all a nice Grinchy green.

Sweet

Just look at this doll baby. This set is my contribution to the Elite.Models Sweet Launch. I worked with the cutest little model!


You can view the auction here. (I think. I might have screwed up the link. Been one of those days!)

Wanted: Savvy Boutique Designer Type
I have other boutique news too...I've been asked to graphic design for a bow group on ebay, the Bow*Babes. Loved working with them on their Winter launch last month. They're a fun group! Here's a peek at the graphic I did for the upcoming Valentine's launch, coinciding with the birthday of the King of Rock & Roll...


And finally, a new group on ebay, the Pretty In Punk Boutique, has invited me to join them. They look to be a really talented mix of designers too, and I'm enjoying getting to know them! I was afraid of joining a group all this time...but it's so much more fun to toss ideas off of someone else, and I love doing launches! Gets me all creative and stuff.

And with that, dearhearts, Ms. SappyBritches is signing off.

Snow Day!

6 inches + 2 kids + 1 dog = 1 happy day.
