A Wonderful World

Today is the beginning of the Team EFA Birthday Bash.  Use code "WORLD" to get 20% off participating stores, including A Wonderful World.  This is a great time to start on that Christmas shopping, since Christmas is only 100 days away.  Speaking of which, place orders at A Wonderful World by December 1, 2008 to ensure delivery in time for Christmas.

I will not have computer access September 21-28, 2008.  Any orders placed at A Wonderful World will take up to a week longer to ship than normal.  I apologize for any inconvenience.

I must apologize to everyone who faithfully reads this blog. Between the inturruption Hurricane Gustav caused in my daily routine, and some increadible stress in my day job, I haven't updated this blog in a week, or responded to any comments. I really do apologize, but a new week is here, and I hope to do better. Onward and upward...

I am participating in the Etsy for Animals Team Birthday Bash at A Wonderful World. In celebration of the Team's birthday, from September 15-30, shops on the team will be accepting a coupon good for 20% off your entire purchase! Use code "WORLD" when checking out with A Wonderful World, or any store accepting the coupon. Check out the instructions on how to use your discount, and look for stores participating in the EFA Birthday Bash. The store with top sales will have $50 donated to their favorite animal charity. (My chosen charity in Big Cat Rescue.) Check it out and help the animals!

It's good to be home. And with no big 4th of July plans, I'm just looking forward to hanging out at home and relaxing over the long weekend.

I've lowered my prices at A Wonderful World:

4x6 - $10.00
5x7 - $12.00
8x10-$15.00
11x14 - $25.00

And, to help you get started with that all important holiday shopping, I've got a Christmas in July sale on. Everything in the Christmas in July section is 25% off my new low prices. There are some great deals there. And you can find other etsy sellers with sales by searching for "christmasinjuly" all this month.

As part of the Etsy for Animals team, during the month of July, 100% of the proceeds of my photo "Escape" will be donated to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. All the featured EFA items this month are from the theme "Oh to be by the seaside."

I'm working on making some new photos available. Here's a sneak peek:

There's some flowers, tractors, New Orleans, and beach shots. Stop by the shop soon to see what's new.

I hope you all have a good weekend, and happy Independence Day to all you folks here in the U.S.A.!

I'm back from New Orleans, and things are cookin'. I'll be adding new photos every day to A Wonderful World, so come check it out. Here's 2 I just added:

Available in:
4x6

And here's a little something extra. My kitten, the fabulous Ozzy:

I love animals. All kinds of animals. I want to rescue every stray cat/dog/squirrel/turtle/pony that I come across. I blame my mother.

Since I have a small house, a smaller yard, a husband with limited tolerance and a cat with no tolerance, I have to find other ways to help the critters.

One of the coolest ways I've found to help was by joining the Etsy For Animals street team. They have a blog and a store, where all the profits benefit a different animal charity each month. Alot of the members also donate some to all profits to animal charities. You can find etsy sellers who are members by searching for "team efa" on etsy.



You can also click the box for the Animal Rescue Site, or donate to the Big Cat Rescue, right here on my blog. We visited Big Cat Rescue, located in Tampa, Florida, last month. They provide a lifetime of care for over 200 big cats that they have rescued. It's a great place with a nearly all volunteer staff. I highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

I only got 7 votes on the contest, so there was no winner this time :( . But I did add new items to A Wonderful World based on the comments readers did make.

A pair of rhinoceros at the San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park May 2007. According to the keeper, this boy and girl rhinos are sweethearts and spend all their time together. By far the biggest vote-getter. Available in 4x6 and 5x7.

Beautiful South Beach, Miami, Florida, May 2008. Available in 5x5 and 8x8.

And, of course, I'm offering free shipping through the end of June.

I'm off to visit the in-laws for Father's Day this weekend, then to New Orleans for my real job on Monday, so I won't be adding any new photos until next week. But I'm taking my camera with me and hopefully I'll bring back some new great pictures!
