Finally ... more Hey Fishy Fishy

sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything else to

Hey Fishy Fishy

.......... but it's alpha time for you now.....

ok... you better pay attention & read every word or you might miss something important!

the 2nd paper pack is the only other part of this kit that is still available ..... for just another couple days and then it will disappear ..... something new might be appearing, you never know - so you just need to keep checking back.......I also do have FOUR blog train contributions available so if you don't have them yet, you better search my blog so you can enjoy them.

hey.....
how would you like a coupon to my Scrappity-Doo-Dah store? You can receive 50% off as long as you add at least $8 of goodies into your cart.
Use coupon se_bloglove - expires Dec. 25th

REMINDER: when you grab a freebie from any designer, please be considerate of the time and effort that has gone into making and preparing this as a gift for you. Leave a comment to show your appreciation. Only approximately 1 out of every 100 scrappers actually do that. Isn't that really kind of sad?

ok...
now
you
can
grab
this
alpha
.....
.....

HERE

today is the END!

this is the FINAL day for my Gotta Pixel store ....

everything is on sale - most everything is only $1 (some more, some less)
AND.... add at least $10 of goodies into your cart, use coupon se-theend & you will receive an EXTRA 60% off ... so that means you can get a TON for DIRT cheap!

many items have been brought back to the store for one day only (the last 7 pages) ... grab everything while you can

and....
these will be retiring as well.... (all images are linked)

ok.... so is your sweet tooth dying yet?????

She does make regular food - entrees - too... BUT... I'm sorry... I soooo want all of her sweet treats!

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...

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
