Hallå


My Uggleboos came in the post.  All the way from Sweden.  Custom made to my specifications.  I was inclined to go red, but I already own two pairs of red clogs. I do love me a pair red shoes.  But this time the robin's egg blue was calling to me.

Alas, they are perfect.

They put a skip in my step and a twinkle in my eye.  

So I was skipping and twinkling yesterday when I noticed that I had lost a blog reader.

For reals.

At first I was like, what's one little reader?  Who cares? Good riddance!

But then as I sat and peeled my cutie (have you noticed how good the cuties are this year? I mean I'm eating like ten a day which kind of gives me the toots but I like them too much to stop, and the babies don't ever care if I toot) I felt bugged and a little worried. What if I'm slipping? Have I gotten boring? Why would this person reject me this way?  

Feeling peckish, and a little gassy, I slinked into my studio to do a little painting.  Turns out I was also feeling a little Swedish.  


I was trying to not think about this person out in the world who had decided to cut me out of their life, and I was thinking how ridiculous it was to take it personally. I mean, lots of people make bad decisions every day. It's not the end of the world.

And then something occurred to me.

Maybe they were in it for the giveaways.  I used to do a lot more giveaways.  Maybe that is why they subscribed in the first place.  Shallow fool!

So out of spite I am doing a giveaway today.  Yes, that's right. Out. Of. Spite.


Who wants a hand carved dala horse stamp?

Just leave a comment. That's all you have to do. I hate when I am sent on a wild goose chase just to enter a giveaway. I mean who wants to be responsible for marketing another persons stuff on all the social media sites?  Poohey I say.

So just leave a comment.  I'll pick a winner on Friday and pop this little guy in the mail to the lucky reader. Who is still a reader.

Just like that. Because I'm spiteful.
