and... did you hear I have a new Droid?
........... 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)

and... to all of my Hey Fishy Fishy freebie finders ..... I'll have my next portion available for you after this giveaway is over .... it will either be the other paper pack or the alpha pack ..........

til then...... try your luck at any of our digiscrap giveaways.... My entire store is up for grabs to one lucky winner - on Tiff's blog ... or go right ahead and purchase it now

just a bag... or is it?

Have you ever heard of Fat Bottom Bags? Christi from Washington helps clean up the earth by recycling plastic bags into shopping totes by crocheting them together.

I'm so sorry, but I can not save any of the pictures at all. I have no clue what is up with that tonight.

She'll even send you a mini one for free if you send her 60 non-white bags.



btw... I learned about them from Twitter... I love tweeting and discovering new people



and... while I'm speaking about these eco-friendly totes...I just don't get something about Target and my Fry's grocery store. They both give you a 5 cent credit for each bag you bring in. While that's all great, I hate that they don't give you any credit for not taking a bag at all. There's some times when I only purchase a couple small items so I opt for no bag & just carry them or put them in my purse..... yet no credit for that at all. What gives? I'm certainly doing my part to help save out earth.

***********

it's Hey Fishy Fishy papers - part 1 - blog FREEBIE

Amazing Etsy Monday

(For those of you looking for my digiscrap goodies - please take a gander at my Etsy finds & then scroll down one posting.)

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...
