Simon the cat

Have you ever seen any of the Simon Cat videos? They are animated cartoon drawings about a cat and his servant, I mean owner, and they are so funny.  This video doesn't completely mimic my cat, as she doesn't like to climb on me, but all of the other things - yep, she sure does!


I'm a little behind today in my blogging, editing, photography, and thinking for that matter, so today all I have is this fun video. Enjoy!!

Have a wonderful day!

Kevin Bacon, Irish dancing, cats and cards.

I've been collecting these videos for the past week and I just can't hold on to them any longer.

Watch and enjoy.



This may be old news to you, but I just saw it and it made me laugh! Kevin Bacon is just such a hoot. I love that he can make fun of himself.



Here's an article on the clip at TV squad.



Two kitty cats gently playing with each other, but the soundtrack and the voice over is what really makes this video.  Take a peek!






I expressed my love for the duo Up & Over It when I posted their video here a few weeks ago (the Irish hand dancers) and now they have been featured in a McDonalds commercial. Since I'm a Burger King gal, it kind of irks me that they are on a McDonalds commercial, but I love that they are getting some more exposure. (I could only link to the video, not post it.)


And finally -



Who says that you can't have fun with a business card?  Well this kid can certainly do a lot with one.  This video was originally created to highlight the camera they wanted to sell.  I think the card throwing kid is the star.

Cyber Monday


Today's shopping excursion on Cyber Monday is going to highlight some of the folks in my Google Reader.   I am so grateful to (virtually) know so many talented people.   I'm happy to link to their sites and tell you about their sales. 

Happy Cyber Monday Shopping!


One of my favorite photographer, blogging friends, who I still haven't met in person yet is Lisa. Her Etsy business, Lisa Ceaser Photography, is having a 25% off all prints and cards until Christmas Eve.  One of her cards is pictured above.


An Advent house from Can't Stop Making Things.  This one is free!  ALl you need to do is print it out and assemble.


Linda and Harriet.  They sell a bunch of lovely letterpress items.  Today until midnight you can receive 25% off your entire order.


Saturday Morning Vintage had these neat bingo dots in red and green.  So retro and so Christmas all at the same time. 



Bloom, Grow, Love has announced a 20% off sale, today only, at her Alicia Bock photography Etsy site.



If you were thinking about buying Photoshop or Lightroom or any number of Adobe products, there are a ton of discounts.  The Pro Designs Tools website explains all of the discounts and how to use them.




A long time favorite of mine is Paper and Cake.  They have some of the loveliest printables ever.  If you have a party coming up, go there first and see if they have a theme that you might like.  Right now, all of the items in their Etsy shop are 25% off.



Don't forget I have an Etsy site, too!  Everything in my shop is on sale for 25% today and tomorrow (Nov 29th and 30th) until midnight pacific time November 30th.  Just use the coupon code NOVdeals when you check out. 


Well, it's been a fun weekend for me.  I've been tearing up the internet looking for things to buy.  So far I haven't shelled out a single cent!  I'll have to get on the ball and make my decisions so I don't miss out on all of the great deals.   My husband is coming home tonight, so I need to get the house picked up for his arrival.  I should also take a shower, make some chicken salad, change the sheets and fluff the pillows.  Then, when I've gotten all that accomplished, I'll sit back down and do a little Christmas Shopping.  Wish me luck!

Have a great day!

Fa La La La Etsy

Welcome to Day Two of my Fa La La La Black Friday Shopping event.  The best thing about my little shopping excursion is that I didn't have to leave home! 

Yesterday was Fa La La La Shopping and today is Fa La La La Etsy. Not sure what tomorrow will bring, but I hope I'll find a few items that helps you with your holiday gift giving.

I actually looked at the prices on these items (unlike yesterday!) and I do believe that everything is under $40.  


John W Golden is quite a creative force.  I like the graphics he uses on these triptychs. Oh and there's 25% off your entire order now through the 29th of November, 2010.




Kitty Rogers creates these business card sized calendars with an easel.  I marked them as a favorite last year (and as an inspiration) and I'm going to have to mark them as a favorite again.  Their mini size makes them a great stocking stuffer or a nice hostess gift.



I have to admit - I want this perpetual calendar.  I even have the wall all picked out where I'd like to put it.  It's on sale through Tuesday the 30th.  Little Brown Pen has taken all of these photos in Paris.  A city I've never been, but am anxious to go. (this one is under $40 if you get the Black Friday discount)



KNH Designs is just one of the many Etsy Shops that make and sell eye-spy bags.  Since all three of my sister's children are girls, I decided that I'd like to get an eye-spy bag that was designed like a purse.  Funny thing was that I didn't think there'd only be one seller that sold them as purses.  It seemed like a natural thing for a girl.   Unless I'm steered otherwise, I'm getting this for one of the girls.


Humor, education and good looks are all wrapped up in this charcoal pig butchery print from Drywell's shop.  If pigs aren't your thing, there's a butchery of a hot dog, a hamburger and many others!  I really like the colorblock pig, too.





This Mother's necklace is lovely for a new mom.  SJ Engraving will also engrave a name on the back of the real beach stone.  It looks like they do a really nice job and have lots of different ideas for stone engravings. 




I go from a Mother's necklace to a sex pot!  JMN Pottery has a lot of humor in their pottery and these little sex pots are a real hoot.  They even have some grouchy pots, too.  Love them. 


I'm so glad I have been going through my favorite sellers in my Etsy account.  I just noticed that Olive Rue has a bunch of items in her shop!  I think that most of the items are digital downloads, so you can do so many crafty things with her incredible images.  Most of the items she creates have a vintage look to them, but I liked this holiday image for today.





I was going to post the photo of the man and the woman WC signs (bathroom signs)  but when I saw the name Lily, it was a done deal.  My BFF's daughter is named Lily.  The letters are topped with Japanese paper and resin. They almost look like tile.



These felted red acorns from the Etsy shop of Reya Veltman are just adorable!  The shipping on them is just $2 - that's great considering these little fellas will be traveling from the Netherlands.  She has some wonderful items in her shop and the acorns come also in natural colors and a beautiful blue!



I hope you enjoyed this little shopping tour.  I imagine all of these items would look great in a gift gallery.  I would stop in this store and would have a hard time not leaving without buying something...or maybe asking for a job!  Sunday, tomorrow, will be the last day of the shopping adventure. 

Have a great day!

Fun Stuff on Sunday



This is sort of like Friday Fragments, but it's more of a link parade.  It's a collection of fun stuff I've found and thought it might be nice to share.  


Enjoy!!





NPR is asking for your mail.  They are looking for letters, postcards or interesting items that you have received through the mail.  You can read about it HERE. You don't have to send it to them, you only need to scan it and upload it to their Flickr account.  If you, like me, like to read other peoples mail then take a look at the Flickr page.  There's a lot of fun stuff over there.




Speaking of mail.  Have you ever been to the Letter Writers Alliance blog?  If you like to write letters, receive letters or like stamp and mail related items, this blog is a lot of fun.



Who would have imagined that a Matchbook Registry would exist?  You can see photos of matchbooks that have been collected over the years.  My parents collected matchbooks for years.  When I think back I can still see the glass container they were kept in.  I don't think she has them anymore, if I recall correctly.  You don't see a lot of matchbooks anymore, that's for sure so you can be assured that The Matchbook Registry is full of great vintage stuff.


The design and letterpress website, Tokketok, posted a photo and titled it "pops of color for you." I'd love to frame them!  Sometimes it's the really simple things that just make me smile.


I found this interesting photo story on the Jeff Bridges website - It's called Catfish. I didn't think I'd ever feel sorry for a catfish.



While hanging out with my BFF Bob in Michigan she played a little joke on my sister, Alison.  

We were headed over to the Alison's by way of a coffee shop and asked her if she'd like anything.  
Then, because my sister is incredibly polite, she asked how much she owed for lunch the day before and to be sure and add in the latte.

Bob decided to write up a bill.


1 - Veggie Burrito no corn green salso (plus delivery) tip not included
$1000.00

2 - Med skim latter (plus delivery) tip not included
$575.00

3 - Interaction with older sister and older sister's BFF (plus delivery) tip not included
$ priceless

She's so funny!




So that last little bit wasn't a link, but I've been wanting to post it!


Hope you had a wonderful weekend!  May this week be full of blessings.

Irish Hand Dancing

Yes, yes, someone posted this on Facebook.  I didn't find it, but I love it! 
I've watched it a couple of times already, so I do believe it is worthy! 

You really need to have sound to appreciate it.

Enjoy!
