I Find This Hilarious - And A Blog Giveaway!!!

So, I guess I know what's popular in my shop!

Phantom of the Opera things.

That's what's popular.

This is how I acted when I discovered my Phantom of the Opera necklace - which I made last week, and posted yesterday - already sold.

I can't seem to get them Phantom things to stick around! It's so funny. The last three items sold amazingly quickly, and I'm super glad, but wow! People must really love the masks. :) This time was really cool, because this time I know the buyer. (Winkety) I'll get that sent out to you as soon as I can!

Thank you, all my lovely buyers, and stay tuned! As soon as possible, I shall supply you all with another Phantom of the Opera inspired creation!

On another note, there is a fabulous, fabulous, FABULOUS Sherlock giveaway currently going on over at The Golden Road. If you are in any way addicted to Sherlock, head over there NOW! This giveaway will only last another four days, so you'll have to be quick if you want to enter!

Go now! You will LOVE what's being offered!

And that's my quick blog for today. Laugh with me my friends. And pull out the white clay. We're going to need another mask.

Habemus Papam! And smaller things of note.

I noticed, while pinning my newest Etsy item to Pinterest, that we now know who our new Pope is! Pope Francis I. May God shower blessings down on him. :)

Now here are the pictures I promised to post last week.

I haz created a NEW item for my Etsy Shop! Since I like to have a little of something of everything in there, (and since my two Phantom of the Opera items sold so fast) I present to you...

THIS! THIS THIS THIS!!

TA DA!!!

A very lovely (if I do say so myself) Phantom of the Opera necklace. I glazed it quite heavily to give it a nice, smooth finish, and the glaze brought out the subtle tints of gold I'd added into the stem. It made it look almost metallic. Really cool!

Also, since I said I'd show these to you as well, here are the cute wee boxes I've made for my items. First, here's a shot of a largish box made to fit a "Ladybug Bloom" inside it, and a blue box for my Doctor Who Jewelry Box. (You can see the picture of the item on the side. Isn't that COOL?!)

Then a couple shots of the Ladybug Bloom box. Isn't it purty? It's nice and big and flat, just the right custom-made design for my pretty blooms. :)






Last, ALL the boxes! Right now I've only got six done, because I ran out of ink. Yes, my friends. Ink. The magenta ink, specifically. I mean, WHAT?! Oh well. I was ready for a break, anyhoozle. Those things are tedious. Seriously, I have to size the box. Then, I have to decide what kind of a design I want to fill it with. Then I have to make sure I have my logo on top, and an item picture on the side or the bottom, wherever it fits. Then I print it out, cut it out, fold, glue, and package. It takes awhile. But, the result is worth it! Don't you think?

Anyway, that's really all I have to share today. I must away and do some writing now.

Oh yes, and scan something into my computer for my sister. I promised, forgotted, promised again like ten minutes ago, and nearly forgotted again! She waved it in my face. Like this: *wavewavewave* So I shall do that now. Before I forget thrice.

Habemus Papam!! Here's praying that Pope Francis I is a strong, holy, and traditional Pope. God bless him!

Right ho! God bless, and have a lovely Wednesday!

Tags, Blog Awards, and Phantom of the Opera

Since I live with my sisters, when I get tagged I don't always get notified in my blog. However, two of my sisters said they tagged me for the Sisterhood Of The World Bloggers Award, and since I liked Amanda's questions better, I did her tag. (Also, since I've been tagged for this award before, I made up my own new one. Nominees are going to get the World Of Dreamers Blog Award :)

First, before we get onto the whole question thingie, there is a new item in my Etsy Shoppe, Cat In The Corner. Look. Isn't it purty?

I made that mask all by myself! It's a loverly Phantom of the Opera trinket box. I had to actually make an entire face, then cut out the mask part that I wanted to keep. It was a bit of an ordeal, but there you go. It looks rather nice. I apologize for the hand shot. For some reason, all my pictures kept rotating, so none of them were upright. What's with that?!

So, that's what's new in the Shoppe. :)

Now, for the tagging thing.

Rules

*Acknowledge the person who passed the award to you and provide their link. (Thank you, Panda! And Teresa, but Panda's questions are the ones I'm answering.)
*Include the award logo on your blog. (I'm going to post the one I made, and that's the one I'm giving away to people I tag.)
*Answer the ten questions posted below. (Okay!)
*Make up your own ten questions for the next people. (Mwahahaha. However, I'm only going to do six, and then my "nominees" can come up with four random facts.)
*Nominate blogs and link those you have especially enjoyed reading. The number you can select is up to you. (Sounds good!)
*Notify each individual that you have nominated them. (Will do!)

Here's the Award:

And now here are Amanda's questions:

1.) Rain or Snow?
Rain. Definitely, rain. I do not LIKE snow. I have tried. I like the snow right before Christmas. After that, please. Go away.

2.) If your friend asked you to go bungee jumping with them, would you?
After a bit of dithering and indecision, probably yes.

3.) If you were a criminal, what sort of criminal would you be the most likey to be? (Thief? Con-man?)
Okay. Hmmm. Let me think. Probably thief. I'd like to be a thief. All in black, jumping off buildings, breaking sleekly into buildings, feeling very Parker-ish...

4.) Airplane or train?
Oooh, tricksy! I love both of these. However, probably train, because the security isn't so insane to get through.

Coolest train EVER!!

5.) Have you ever broken a limb?
No. I will admit, I'm interested to know what it feels like to break a rib, but that's only because I'm a writer. I'm interested in a purely intellectual way. *Winkety winkety*

6.) Where you a tomboy or more of a girly-girl?
Um. I think I was in-between. I liked doing dangerous things, but I also was acutely aware of how I presented to people. I liked knowing I could climb the fence like a thief, or burrow beneath it like an escaping prisoner, but I also liked to look NICE when I was out in public.

7.) If you had to pick your weapon of choice, would it be a sword, bow and arrows, or daggers?
I LURVE bow and arrows, but I'd love to try out the double-dagger fighting technique. Very Lee Christmas.

8.) Do you prefer long hair or short?
Long. You can do so much more with long hair.

9.) Do you have a historical hero? If so, who? If not, why NOT!!??
How far back in history are we going? I'm quite fond of William Wallace, which could be because of the trip I took to Scotland in April of 2011. I also quite love Jimmy James.

10.) What's your favorite time-frame in history?
I know the NOW is more convenient, but I have a fascination with the medieval time frame. I love that. Don't know why. It's probably the swords. :)

Okay, now for those of you I tag, you are the recipients of the World of Dreamers Blog Award. Here are your SIX questions!!!

1.) What sort of a book would you describe yourself to be? (i.e., are you a fantasy, historical fiction, dystopian, etc?)
2.) What would be likelier to do? Order a coffee with a British accent, or pretend to be deaf when someone talks to you?
3.) A total stranger comes up to you. Do you (a.) react instantly and punch him in the face before he has a chance to introduce himself? (b.) step back and wait to see if he is hostile before punching? or (c.) go all coward and run away, screaming like a banshee?
4.) Would you prefer to be sick with the stomach 'flu or a shockingly bad case of strep throat?
5.) If YOU could be a superhero, what type would you like to be?
6.) Someone yells "Obey!" What's the first thing you think of?

Now you get to mention four random facts about yourself! Please, make them VERY random. Peculiar is good. :D

For this Award, I'm tagging:
Maria
Kellie
Pure Grace
Miss Jack Lewis
And, if they want to do another Tag:
Rachel
Isabella
Teresa
and Amanda

Six-Sentence Saturday 10/15/11

Here they are, in no particular order:

1.) Today is my li'l sister's birthday. Hippo Birdy, Tiny!

2.) My storyboard's sorta coming along... I wish I didn't have such an abysmal headache! :-)

3.) Phantom of the Opera is the best thing to listen to if you're trying to warm up your vocal cords.

4.) Did you know it's vocal CORDS, and not vocal CHORDS? I think I knew it, but not consciously.

5.) Monday are private lessons for singing! So e'citing!

6.) Finished reading The Unwanted's, by Lisa McMann (which was okay) and Pegasus by Robin McKinley (which was better but made me wonder if there's supposed to be a sequel, 'cause it didn't quite feel like it ended).

How about you? What are your six sentences?

God bless!
