News, news, and more news

First I want to announce the opening of me and my son Benjamin's new Etsy store "The Witches Cupboard" which is, as he puts it, for practioners of both shield and sword magic. Right now the shelves are pretty empty I'll admit, but more items are being added daily. We hope to have quite a selection within the next month or so ... so keep on stopping by and checking.

Next: I'm really excited to tell you I'm a new book reviewer with Dark Diva Reviews . They are reviewers of erotica/romance books and they can really help you make those tough decisions about which book to buy/read next. Come check out the site, you'll enjoy it very much!

Finally, my own Etsy store, Persephone Plays, has added new items too. Like these wire wrapped earrings, my very favorites...I love them! Come look at everything both store have now, then come back in a week when we'll have even more new, creative items to show you. We're reasonably priced too!

Picture is link to item....I'd also like to thank everyone who left such kind comments about the Toys in the Attic digiscrap kit from a couple of days ago. Your words inspire me to try harder to creat more beautiful kits for you in the future. Thanks again!

Family

Since yesterday was Valentine's day, I thought I'd share some of the people in my life who make it worth living...my family. They are born to me, married in, and adopted...I love them all.

Some people are missing here: Jim, Gary, Fred...probably more, love ya too!

Hear Me Roar

Ladies, we all know at least one guy that thinks this way, even if he denies it. For me it was a friend I had a few years ago. He would come over and help change light bulbs....stuff like that. He was my hero. Yeah, right. I've heard since then that he would tell stories when I wasn't around about how he had to help me with this or that. All I can say is "What an asshole!"

Now understand, I lived 10 years, yeah, 10 loooong years without a man around for anything. I taught myself to do plumbing, carpentry, and I even replaced a gasket for the transmission on the car. I'm proud of that, and the fact that this pompous ass comes and changes a light bulb and *poof* I'm just a helpless female still pisses me off some 10 years later.

But women have reached equality with men now. They really have...and I know this for a fact when I read with interest a story on Smoking Gun of a woman who was arrested when her date called the police to tell them he was at a BBQ with his girlfriend. He had started feeling queasy and went inside to lie down for awhile. When he woke up, his girlfriend had her hand in his...um...well...use your imagination. That to me is equality...women using date rape drugs so they can fist their boyfriends. Now please read this statement with all the sarcasm intended....it's about time. Women can be just as dispicable as men, yup, and they can change a light bulb and open their own damn ketchup. We don't need a hero.

And on a lighter note, I haven't quite finished the kit I've been working on but here's a cool stamp of greenman. I've used it a lot and really like it...hope you do too.
