we have a winner!

so the giveaway is now closed and our lucky winner is.......

*drumroll*

theothermousie!!!

and here is her winning story:

"This is Eric - he's very misunderstood really. Due to a bizarre incident at the Jaffa Cake factory he got totally overcooked & was thus banished from the box. Poor Eric. He is now quite crispy on the outside which results in his totally fixed smile (yup it's a smile - hasn't he got lovely teeth?!), some people find this scary - but he's such a happy soul, a real softie on the inside, just like a yummy orangey bit."

well done!

your story was super and so sweet! i loved it =]

email me at teeth-and-snarlz@hotmail.co.uk with your details and i'll send Eric off on his way to you!

aaaaaand i've been featured on Creepy Queen Magazine!

last chance

You only have until midnight tonight to enter my giveaway to win a monster!

go go go people!

its HERE.

and in other news, i made my first halloween item today

(though i guess as all my items are monsters, they could all be considered halloween-ish?)

Here he is:

He's a little devil monster brooch >_<

sorry for the rubbish photo though... i must go take some better ones and then list him in my shops tonight.

Im also in the middle of making two new pairs of earmuff monsters

so keep an eye out for those!

and a monster scarf will be listed within the week too!

exciting stuff!

and check out my blogs new look!

news news news

i went to a Lammas party last night.

Lammas is a pagan festival which celebrates the beginning of harvest.

It was lovely =]

we had it outside even though it was pouring down with rain. We all sheltered under a make-shift shelter but it was nice anyway.

And there was a fire, marshmallows and we all tried to get into the spirit by making corn-dollies... which didnt actually turn out too well, but still.

unfortunately i forgot to take my camera so i cant show you the wonderful festivities.

In other news, i managed to catch a pair of Mitten Monsters in my garden today.

They're a lovely canary yellow colour and so cute!!

I may have to catch myself a pair to keep!

Though i've already decided to keep my monster scarf to myself (i loved it too much!) so maybe not....

These mittens are going to go up in both my folksy and etsy shops today.

Along with some more earmuff monsters:

aaaaand im going to be featured on a blog by Memoriesinmosaics from Etsy!

im so excited!

i just need to answer all the questions and send them off now =] i'll let you all know when it happens.

Also remember, there's three more days left until my giveaway closes!

ENTER NOW to be in with a chance to win one of my monster keyrings!!! go go go!

monster keyring - GIVEAWAY

would someone please start a drumroll for.... MY FIRST EVER GIVEAWAY!

*claps*

hopefully this will be the first of many.

Right, so in this giveaway one lucky reader could win one of my monster keyrings!

And this one is special because it has never before been seen!

Not in any of my shops, or my deviantart.

He's a bit shy you see.

anyway, here he is:

All you have to do to be in with a chance to win him is:

• come up with a super name and wonderful background story for him! (see my etsy or folksy shop descriptions for examples)

And either:

1. put a link on your blog to my Etsy or Folksy shop.
2. put a link on your blog to this blog
3. follow this blog.

you dont need to do all three.

just pick one (of course you can do all three if you would like. that would be lovely) and create a name and backstory for the monster.

This competition will close in one weeks time on 6th August.

good luck all!!!
