Custom Keds

I know, I've promised to show you something I've been working on for a while now, and hoped to have done a couple weeks ago. But, of course, that's not done yet. I HAVE found something super cool today, though. Did you know you can customize Keds shoes? I don't mean just pic the color of the panels and the trim. You can upload images to be printed on the fabric. It's quite cool. I have friends who like to have little get togethers where they decorate Keds. But this....just imagine the possibilities. I really like something along the lines of the red ones in the picture. Someday, I'll get around to designing myself some shoes...

Books.

I know, it's been a while. I was doing so well...for about a week. But here I am again. Lots has been going on with school and at home and such. So much to do! I'm working on quite a few different projects, some for school, some for family and friends, and then also on getting my studio/working area up and running. I'll post about all of those, but for now, I'd like to introduce you all to something that is completely awesome.

Amazon has wish lists you can make public. I love it! I think everyone should log into Amazon and create a public wish list of all the great books they want so that when someone is completely lost when it comes to getting you a gift for, say, Christmas or your birthday, they can all go there and get you something you really do want. Yay! All you have to do is search for the person's name, and voila, there's the list. If you have a common name, it helps to add a few details. There's another Leah with my last name in CT. I'm not alone.

Ok. So, just when you thought that's all there is to it and that's as good as it gets, don't worry, it gets better. You can "get a wish list button" which will somehow or another let you add things you want from other websites too, not just Amazon. I'm not sure how it works, but they explain it here. I haven't done that yet, but I think it would make life easier for people! Anyway, if you're interested to see what books I'm currently salivating over, view my wish list. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, just go to amazon.com and see if you can figure it out. Don't be scared. It's easy. I'll even give you a hint: click on "gifts and wish lists" at the top and then type my name in on the right. As easy as that. I think I'll go add more books now.
