New Giveaway! Kiwi tiems nao!

and this one is more than just a banner and avatar.
it includes a simple blogger layout, coded and designed by me!

so you'll win a new look for your etsy shop AND a blog makeover.
both banner and avatar are made for etsy, so they're 760x100 and 75x75, respectively.
isn't that kinda cool?

the blog is all coded and ready to go. it's in a text file, and the only image file you'd need would be the banner. i used the same one i made for the shop, to keep it easy. (the little kiwis on the side are on my server, so you don't need to change them or anything unless you want to.)

the winner will receive ::
¤ both the .jpg/.png files and the .psd (photoshop) files.
¤ ¤ if needed, i can alter the files for the winner and send the finished ones (like if you can't alter photoshop files.)

to enter the giveaway ::
¤ comment here and tell me if you like kiwis!
¤ tell me why, if you like.
¤ if you don't like kiwis, but still want to enter, tell me why not!
¤ make sure to leave a way to contact you (twitter usernames are fine.)

i will use the Random Number Generator (again) to draw the winner in 7 days (on the 3rd of february), at about this time (around 6p est).

you can comment more than once, if you have more than 1 thing to say about kiwis (you'll have multiple entries that way.). ^.^-b

so, giveaway STAHT-O!

Kitty was on etsy's front page!

yaaaay! :D

here's the list that made it ::
Curated by lunarbelle


isn't it cute?

and on the plus side, we now know what the moth is! :D
it's a Polyphemus moth, and kitty thinks that ours was a girl.
--> here's a link to the wiki on the moths :: [link]

so, thanks to lunarbelle for putting me in such a nice treasury, and thanks to etsy for putting it on the frontpage!

(oh, and thanks to CandySpaceship for telling kitty what the moth was. ^.^-b )
(if you click on the picture of the list, it'll take you to craftcult's vault, and the listings are clickable there.)

of updates and castles in the sky

of updates:
so, i've started updating the shop more often! :D
still haven't gotten ALL of the 'Playground' series uploaded yet, but i'm workin' on it!
(yobo's having some delays in the form of problems with financial aid [again! >.<]. eventually, yobo will end up killing someone.)

of Castles in the Sky:
kitty's friend Cyndi is opening her etsy shop on Halloween! (also kitty's birthday [yobo's too!] ! )
her shop is called Castle in the Sky and she makes RenFaire garb for kids!
it's all super affordable too.
she'll be specializing in kid's stuff that will grow with them, and she'll be doing made-to-order adult stuff as well.

(kitty would especially like to call attention to miss SkyCastle's graphics, which she made [she's very proud of them, and thinks they're pretty cool.].)

now, kitty and i happen to know that miss Cyndi will most likely be having freeshippings in her shop, but since she's opening on the 31st, there's sure to be LOTS going on elsewhere on etsy (hint hint; kitty's having a hobbit birthday present [so is yobo!] !).

so, overview!

Castle in the Sky:
new etsy store belonging to miss kitty's friend Cyndi
opening Halloween! (oct. 31st y'all)
kids' RenFaire garb
-grows with them
adult garb made to order
free shippings (and i think 10% off as well)

so make sure you'll be there! :D [link]
there's a fanpage : [link]

yaaaaaaaaaaaay!
--kitty and yobo

edit;
ok, so it turns out that miss Cyndi didn't manage to open on halloween. she was just too swamped with her own little ones and trick or treating! they got lots of yummie candy though, so it's ok. :D
she'll open soon, and i'll let you know! :D

what's this? a post from kitty?

omg!

ok, well, you know how, in that last post, kitty said she was going to be posting those prints soon?

weeeeeeeeeerllllllllllllll, uhm, we had some school-finance-troubles and got way too frustrated to bother with it for a while.

so, the 'This used to be my playground' series is going up now.
in fact: the 1st 4! all 3.5x5" prints.

in the next few days we'll (hopefully!) get the 5x7s and 8x10s up, but since kitty's going to school 5 days a week, this might get pushed to the back burners. (she's trying to be a good girl in school this time, and actually DO her homeworks [novel idea, ne?].)

in other news, kitty's helper-human yobo finally got her website going, so if you want to see it, follow this [link]. it's full of pretty shiny things that she keeps telling me aren't toys...... (i don't really believe her. i mean, how can they NOT be toys!? they're so shiiiiiinnyyyyyyy! >:3 )
