PetPals Makes Kitties Sleepy!

Mar is taking a nap! Why does he look so tired? He just got done playing with some of his toys from his July PetPals package! PetPals matches you up with another blogger and you get to shop for their companion animal. I was paired up with another cat guardian!

 

Besides the super large kicker Kong he received all the goodies above.  He was very happy with everything! Thank you Truffles and Jenna from Mar!

I ♥ Your Blog!

I swap with Swap-bot!

I am rather new to Swap-bot and quickly have grown to really like the site and what goes on over there. Mostly I like joining ATC swaps, a tiny space is so freeing for me to be artistic, the limited space makes me feel secure in the possibilities I can create.

Last week I joined a swap titled I ♥ Your Blog! as a way to meet other bloggers. I discovered some new blogs and am having a good time reading them. Here are the blogs I got to discover as part of the swap.


Memories Through Quilting is a new blog dedicated to quilting of course! I liked the bathing kitty photos most - since I am a cat lover!


El Blog de Jex is a crafty blog full of ideas! It is in Enlish but the blogger is from Mexico - reminds me I need to learn more Sopanish just to get by at the botanica!


Sweet Maple Life has a nice clean layout that is easy to read. Not only does Mary like crafting she likes cosmetics - yay!


Kimitty Kim is full of super kawaii things! I love all the cuteness!!!


She's Crafty She's Just my Type..By Amberingz
is delivering craftiness from Southern CA, from ATC storage to jewelery tips!


Sanity's Overrated plans on reading 100 books in a year - so far there are a few books finished. I like this idea since I like reading myself!


Novel Niche: A Place for Books has a clean layout and lots of in depth book reviews! I need to take some of the titles to the library next time I go!

Moving On With A Cupcake Contest

For the last year I have been writing articles and showcasing some cool products for Creepy Queen Magazine, both online and in print. Yesterday I received a mass email stating that the blog portion of the site would close down - the part of the site I wrote for weekly. I was in the middle of two interviews with really nice people and was really bummed. This came after seeing the Gothic Beauty ad for Creepy Queen magazine that was supposed to showcase my product as well as a few others - well the others were in it, not me though. Also after two months I still do not have my copy of the print issue of #2 that I spent $18 on just to see my print article, yes I filed a PayPal claim.
I was going to quit this month. I talked it over with Matt and he said it was time after feeling so unappreciated. I was going to finish my two articles, have them posted and let the owner know I was disappointed for not being recognized as someone who busted their butt because they wanted to see the magazine grow.

Moving on, I will be blogging more, writing/testing out DIY beauty recipes for a vegan DIY skin care zine I want to put together, ready myself for the upcoming craft shows and much more stuff in the works. I need to get to things I put off for way to long!

To see MissMuffcake grow I am holding yet another fun contest! MissMuffcake came about as a name when my sister and I were discussing muffins that tasted as good as cupcakes and we came up with the term Muffcake! I love cupcakes and I love being vegan so to share my love one random lucky person will win a new copy of Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero! All you have to do is comment with the answer to this question: if you were a cupcake - what kind would you be? Please have your email/contact info on your blogger profile or leave your email* in the comment as well so I can contact you! This contest is open to everyone and will close on September 12, 2010! Good Luck!

*If you do not want to leave your email in the comments please email me at the email provided on my profile page with the name you commented with so I can keep track!
