Nerds in a Box

Embracing My Inner Nerds:

I've been in a very strange mood the past few weeks, and with that mood has also come the return of my creative muse, who I have been dearly missing lately. I just haven't been in the mood to really complete anything, but now that the creativity is back I'm taking full advantage. With it's return my mind has been in a whirl, and from that whirl has grown my ever expanding business of making little nerd dolls. Who knew!

Poindexter has been recieving rave reviews just on his photo alone, and so now there is a growing box of them currently residing on the coffee table, and at least a dozen more in my head waiting to exist. They will be done this weekend, and one has sold based solely on his just the sketch. He's not even made yet. With any luck I will be able to put them onto my etsy store before the weekend is over.

Stay tuned for more photos, there's nothing more hilarious than a box of little nerd personalities, popping their eyeglasses over the edge of their box, just glarring at you after being brought to life, and to be honest, I've really needed a chuckle lately.

Pay it Forward...want to participate? I am!

Recently I made a purchase on Etsy for a piece of swag to go traveling with Poindexter from Wickedmoxie. On her blog she posted this really great idea, so I'm joining in. Come on and play with me. We'll all feel better if we do something nice for someone else. :)

So here's how it works.

Random acts of kindness have turned into little gifts for you. A great opportunity to get some swag and pay it forward. I would especially like the opportunity to create for people I've never met (but I'll make stuff for the people I love too!!)

The first five (5) people to respond to this post will get something made by me.This offer does have some restrictions and limitations so please read carefully:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make. Whatcha get is whatcha get.

2. What I create will be just for you, with love.

3. It'll be done this year (2009).

4. I will not give you any clue what it's going to be. It will be something made in the real world and not something cyber. It may be weird or beautiful. Or it may be monstrous and annoying. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!

5. I reserve the right to do something strange.

6. In return, all you need to do is post this text on your blog and make 5 things for the first 5 to respond to blog.

7. Send your mailing address - after I contact you.

IMPORTANT: This offer is null and void if I do not see you post your own blog to pay this forward.
