I'm at Scrappity-Doo-Dah....Congrats to ......

Thank you to so many people for guessing my newest fun & fabulous home. It looks like between my contest at DST and here at my blog, most people thought I was either going to Funky Playground Designs or Scrappity-Doo-Dah and all the SDD guessers were correct.

I had 44 guesses here by the (extended) deadline and a few stragglers after that.

Since the 15th guess was for an inaccurate guess, I just went to the very first one after that which was correct and that was Angie!

I have a FREEBIE template (CU ok) available as a gift to everyone in my shop.



along with some other goodies which are all 50% off through the 15th.

contest extended! ... and hints

Have you entered my contest yet?

My reveal has been pushed back so I am extending my deadline one more day.

If you are still able to guess.... here are a few hints for you...
*3 letters for the acronym of the name
*the store really matches my personality and style

You can also have 3 chances to enter at DST... that's 6 chances total

DO NOT REPLY with a guess in this blogging.... you must enter on my blog HERE

Amazing Etsy Monday!

Welcome to Amazing Etsy Monday.
I feature undiscovered treasures just waiting for someone to love and adore them.

As of the moment I search through Etsy, none of these shop owners have had any sales in their stores. There are so many amazing Etsy items available,
these just need a little extra attention because they really really deserve it.

If you aren't familiar with Etsy, you have been missing out.
It's a super fabulous web home to crafters & artists of all types.
You can find something for just a couple bucks to something a few hundred dollars. Who knows, maybe even in the thousands.
I know there are some one of a kind large paintings and sculptures available.

Hopefully you like some of these awesome finds...

these just need a little extra attention because they really really deserve it. I also am featuring one established designer after the undiscovered treasures.

If you aren't familiar with Etsy, you have been missing out.
It's a super fabulous web home to crafters & artists of all types.
You can find something for just a couple bucks to something a few hundred dollars. Who knows, maybe even in the thousands.

........... my big Black Friday shopping day was spent replacing my old phone because I cracked the screen a few days ago. Because of that I could barely read anything on it ......... Soooooo... I upgraded to a new Droid
I've only texted on my phone before so it's kind of fun to now be able to go on the web & also play with tons of neat applications (including my Twitter shich I love so much) - it's really super cool... just not what I needed a month before Christmas

how about helping me out ....

I have one super-duper fabulous offer for you...



Shop your heart out! This usually only happens once a year, but since I am leaving Gotta Pixel lots of these items will be retiring when I say b'bye here. This is your time to snag them while they are all still available.

Buy my Sara Ellis store and you can have EVERY item you desire. Commercial Use/Designer Resource, Scrap for Hire, and Personal Use - EVERYTHING!
(The entire Template Tools & Overlay Tools collections and all brushes are CU ok)

The earlier you get it, the cheaper you can get everything.
Only $18 through Nov. 29th... OR.... $21 through Dec. 6th

AND....some samples of my goodies... (all images are linked)
