Etsy Seller of the Day - ideasign

Category: Etsy Seller of the Day. Posted by Lucky at 11:28 am.

Imaginator Chris Strohm of ideasign has a very gifted eye for color, theme and the merging of concepts. His talent is both wide and deep, making him the perfect solution for a custom art piece, logo designs, concept work and a wide variety of other projects. His love for his religous path is very obvious in many pieces, but more subtle in others, lending his work to versatile adoration, no matter what path you find yourself on.


Drawing Down the Moon

Fantastic use of color, depth of detail and whimsical creatures is sure to please! Every time you look at a piece, your mind finds something different, more texture, more detail more…everything! Each piece is obviously painstakingly created and includes a little piece of himself. The inclusion of fae, symbols, bold colors and even messages some might consider bold, are a wonderful thing to behold!


Americana II

Ideasign has to be one of my very favorite Digital Art Shops to date! He has a wide variety of sizes, from ACEO size, on up to larger pieces and even pieces in custom deminsions. His pricing is fantastic, making it easy to fall in love with MANY pieces that you just HAVE to have…and can! He prints his Giclée prints with the highest quality materials, being a stickler for perfection. This attention to detail is seen with every piece, speaking from personal experience and as the proud owner of several of his pieces. Giclée prints are coveted by art collectors for their unsurpassed tonal range and better contrast and brilliance within each print.

Do stop by today, won’t you?

Etsy Seller of the Day - LizStaley

Category: Etsy Seller of the Day. Posted by Lucky at 1:09 pm.

I would like to warmly welcome you to a new thang I am gonna try to do :) My Etsy Seller of the Day!

These Etsy Sellers will be hand picked by me - from my Street Team, wanderings and “oh lookie what I found” discoveries. I hope you will visit their shops, find something handmade, beautiful and perfect and perhaps even buy it! If ya do, when checking out, send them a “Note to Seller” that you found them at LuckyLibra’s Blog, would you? Afterall, every seller loves to know where and how they are being found! :)

So, sit back, browse, and enjoy!

For this opening entry, I have chosen an Etsyian that is very near and dear to my heart, LizStaley. Liz has quickly become a friend, and a sister, not just someone I chat with on Yahoo or in our EAST daily thread.

Her tag line really captures the feel of her store: “To deny the nerdiness is to to deny the soul”. She features a wide variety of Geeky Goodness, something I know quite a few of my readers will get a good giggle at! Everything from D&D inspired Class buttons/magnets, ACEO’s (Art Trading Cards)- often of her own RPG story lines as well as other styles, various Sci-Fi show quote buttons/magnets, to the most fantastic keyboard wallets (that I can personally attest to being SUPERB!) and even her own emerging line of KAFMA….which you might recognize as “Tribbles” in costumes!


This cute KAFMA happens to be dressed as the beloved Flying Spaghetti Monster. (More on FSM here on Wiki: The Flying Spaghetti Monster)


These buttons crack me UP!

Liz is very responsive to her customers, ships very quickly and is most pleased to entertain custom requests of all sorts. She is an excellent artist, a super crafter and an all around great gal. Do stop by, even if to just say hello :) I am quite sure she will be thrilled that you did!

Home is where the Heart is

Category: A Bed of Flowers. Posted by Lucky at 3:52 pm.

I’ve had a VERY hard couple of months. Very. That’s pretty much all I’m going to say about it here, as I know I have lurkers and I really don’t feel like dealing with them right now. Just knowing their IP address is floating around still is irritation enough.

ANYway. LuckyLibra Designs is doing fantastic! I’m running it as a solo act now and couldn’t be happier! Dan has been a sounding board the last few weeks as I decide what I want to do for the rest of 2008 with it. I’ve decided to not do any festivals or shows. Instead, I’ve started planning on a full scale web store. Its nice having Etsy to vend through, and I’ve built up a customer base and a good reputation, but I want something that is set the way I want it to be, including a bunch of different stuff, like an about us page, featured items, sales, etc. I have begun sketching out my thoughts and have hired a web designer to assit. I already own luckylibra.com - obviously…so its just a matter of inserting content and a shopping cart really. I hope to have it up in Beta by Thanksgiving weekend so I can try to catch some Black Friday action. Woot!

I’ve also been letting my creative beastie out to play a bit more freely. I have gads of ideas floating around my head, and they are in a constant battle to see who gets made into a tangible item first! Muahaha! Its been quite fun, really :) Creating jewelry has become something very personal and meditative for me. Its neat to see the ideas floating around suddenly made into something I can hold and share with others.

We are pretty well settled into the new house. No pictures up yet, but nearly all the boxes emptied and stuffs put into the righ places. We absolutely LOVE it there. The house is comfy, spacey and just….us. :) I am STILL trying to coordinate some sort of BBQ…at this rate, its going to have to be for the fourth of july….ROFL! I’ve done a bit of travelling in April, and of course moving in, is a process…but we WILL have one… :)

All the kids are doing just fine! Nothing really special or cool to report - we are just happy, content and loving our life here in gorgeous Eugene. I am still thankful every day that She saw fit to guide us here, as it was one of the best things that Dan and I have ventured into. In fact, I was pondering today, that we have been here nearly two years. My Michael told me recently that he thought of me when talking with someone that had not stayed in the same place for more than five years or so at a time. He’s right, that was soooo totally me. But I can safely say, we ain’t leaving. We might move around town…buy a house or something…but Eugene is now our happy “forever home”. And that, is a pretty awesome feeling. :)

George Strait - Carrying Your Love With Me

Category: Lyrics. Posted by Lucky at 12:24 am.


Baby all I got is this beat up leather bag
And everything I own dont fill up half
But dont you worry bout the way I pack
All I care about is gettin back, real soon
A goodbye kiss is all I need from you

Cause Im carrying your love with me
West virginia down to tennessee
Ill be movin with the good lords speed
Carrying your love with me
Its my strength for holding on
Every minute that I have to be gone
Ill have everything Ill ever need
Im carrying your love with me

On a lonely highway stuck out in the rain
Darlin all I have to do, is speak your name
The clouds roll back and the waters part
The sun starts shinin in my heart for you
Youre right there in everything I do…cause

Cause Im carrying your love with me
West virginia down to tennessee
Ill be movin with the good lords speed
Carrying your love with me
Its my strength for holding on
Every minute that I have to be gone
Ill have everything Ill ever need
Im carrying your love with me

Its my strength for holding on
Every minute that I have to be gone
Ill have everything Ill ever need
Im carrying your love with me
Im carrying your love with me

Im carrying your love with me
West virginia down to tennessee
Ill be movin with the good lords speed
Carrying your love with me

Best Day Ever!

This is The Bug’s favorite episode, and pretty much sums up my feelings of today, as well!

As my readers will probably recall, I’ve been on a see-saw with Symantec, as regards trying to get hired on full-time, instead of working here as a Temp, as I have done for the last year and a half.

Today, when I walked into work, my Supervisor immediately pulled me into a conference room, closed the door, turned on the light and started jumping up and down, as if she had just been called down by Bob Barker as “The Next Contest on The Price is Right”! I blinked at her a couple of times, and she says, “It’s all over! The background check, the waiting, the stalling, the waiting again, I get to make you a verbal offer today!”.

Let’s just say it was a good damn thing I was already sitting down!

She joined me at the table, and proceeded to get right to it, ‘The Offer’.

She said it.

I blinked.

She smiled.

I tried REALLY hard to NOT fall out of my chair - start *gigglesnorting* in shock and awe - or lunge across the conference table to embrace her in a bear hug.

The offer is hands down more money than I have EVER made, even with commission jobs.

This is amazing.

It’s amazing to me for many reasons, but most importantly because the last few days I’ve done a good deal of vision work. That is, speaking to the Universe my hearts desire, and envisioning it come to pass.

When I started this vision work, I had literally NO CLUE what the position paid, something I’ve been trying to get out of everyone for months now. So, I just figured I would “Dream Big” and pulled a number out of the sky.

The Offer?

The same as the number from the sky.

:)

And for now, I will leave you with that, as I am still trying to peel myself off of the ceiling and get back to the work I have due by end of day!

Love and Light to All!

Faith Hill - “Beautiful”

Category: Lyrics. Posted by Lucky at 1:36 pm.

I love the way you stand in my way
You won’t move ’til you get a kiss
and how you tell me that
my name tastes so sweet on your lips
I love the way you hold me with your eyes
Hold me so tight that i can’t move
It’s like everything i’ve ever known is a lie
and you’re the simple truth

Is it a dream
or is it real?
All i know is
you make me feel so beautiful
beautiful
beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful
beautiful
beautiful
You make me feel so
beautiful

I love how soft you touch my skin
like you’re touching the wings of a butterfly
I wish we could just lock ourselves away in a room
where there was no such thing as time
I’ve never let anyone get this close
I’ve always been afraid
but you break down every wall and yet i feel so safe

Every part of who i am
is so in love cause what i have is beautiful
beautiful
beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful
beautiful
beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful
beautiful
beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful
beautiful
beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful
you make me feel so beautiful
beautiful
beautiful
beautiful

Tristan Prettyman - ‘Love Love Love’

Category: Lyrics. Posted by Lucky at 11:05 am.

its 4 am
the paperboys at it again
I cant get no sleep
what’s the point
if I cant even dream up a dream that’s worth the keep

and so there’s no need in even going
cause I’m better off never knowing
never cared for the latest news breaking
if I have to, I’m pretty good at fakin’ the truth
cause this life is a beautiful one
and though I’ve seen it coming undone
I know most definitely
that its gonna be you and its gonna be me

I’m smilin now
just because…

love, love, love
we are all lovers and takers
breaking hearts to make the papers
she wants love, I told her to stop trying
cause the reasons for her tears
aren’t worth crying
this life is a beautiful one
and though I seen it comin’ undone
well I know most definitely
tthat it all works out the way its meant to be
I’m laughing now
just because…
love love love
