Because my really cool handmade scarves, jewelry, journals etc. make great gifts! ♥ Because everything's marked 15% off!! ♥ Because my diabetic pootie needs insulin, and I need funds to buy it!!! ♥ Because everything in my shop is 100% free of Hobby-Lobby products!!!! ♥ Because most of my stuff is ooak (one of a kind) so if you snooze, you lose!!!!! ♥ Because I'll support the U.S. Postal Service by shipping everything via Priority Mail with tracking!!!!!! and did I mention, the funds from this sale at Jan4insight Handmade Gallery on Zibbet will go for insulin & vet care for my pootie! I'll explain these points below the orange swooshy thing.
Really cool handmade stuff! Yes, it's all made by hand by Jan. Here's pics of some of my offerings, to whet your appetite ~
Cozy, colorful scarves
Funky fashion jewelry
Journals covered with my own artwork!
and I also have ready-to-frame prints, summer scarves, cool bracelet cuffs, and more. See it all right HERE!
15% off everything! Well, except for gift certificates; I'm sure you understand. All the other prices are marked down 15% and will stay that way for the next 72 hours!
I gotta take care of my pootie! This is the crux of the matter. Those who've followed me on the PWB threads might know about the trauma my dear pootie LuvLee and I went through nearly two years ago, when she was diagnosed with diabetes. She spent almost a week in the hospital, getting over secondary pancreatitis. Then I had to learn how to give her insulin shots ... it was a real bonding experience for us. I'm happy to say that LuvLee's a real trooper and is doing fabulously well now. Here's a recent picture (she'd been supervising one of my product photo sessions), and as you can see it's hard to believe she's 15 years old and diabetic!
But keeping her that way takes more money than I normally get in the course of plugging through my self-employed existence. Which is why I've found these sales to be such a blessing - nearly all my income from the shop goes to keeping LuvLee happy & healthy. Insulin is expensive - when I last got her Rx filled, in June, it was nearly $300!!! And we'll need another refill soon. It's sobering to realize that getting LuvLee's insulin is not something that can be put off. Oh btw, I have checked all the reasonable options for filling this Rx in my area, and I've already found the best deal for what LuvLee needs. So thanks, but I don't need advice on this. I need the funds, and that's why there's a sale :)
I do not purchase supplies from Hobby Lobby! None of the beads, yarn, paints, findings, glitter, or any of the supplies I use come from Robby Lobby, so when you buy from me, you won't indirectly support the Wahabi Lobby!
My things are mostly ooak! It's obvious that I have diverse artistic interests and I'm always looking for unique ways to combine colors, shapes and embellishments. I'm always trying new media and design approaches. (Which makes my crafting life quite interesting). This means most of my things (the main exceptions is the prints) are unique, too, so if you see something you like, you should buy it. Because when it sells, chances are there won't be another one any time soon.
Support the Post Office! I've always been a great fan of the USPS and I ship exclusively with them. I use Priority Mail and email you the number, you can track your package online. Most stuff gets to most U.S. addresses in 2 days! Oh btw, despite what the product page says, I will ship internationally. I just need you to contact me and say what country you want it sent to, so I can provide a shipping quote.
Well, enough about me. Below the Official Kos Katalogue Sign-Off is a poll for your poll-voting pleasure. Looking forward to your comments - and I'm really looking forward to packing up stuff and sending it to you, so I can support the post office while I give the finger to Hobby Lobby, and take care of my faithful pootie!
