Sorry for the HUGE delay in posting. It started with Spring Break and snowballed into being sick for over a week and a general avoidance of the computer. Everything is completely up to date as of today, so feel free to go back and browse the archives – you’ll find a post for every day!

Thanks!

I’ve featured work from Marisa at Creative Thursday before, but I rarely get to post about a painting that’s still actually available. Yay me for being on top of this tonight. You can own today’s original daily painting for $135. Hurry, they go quick!

I’m about to tell you more than you ever needed, or wanted, to know about me, so forgive me. I’m really crampy right now and a bowl of ice cream would do wonders to cure that.

I’m positive of it.

I wish they had Perry’s ice cream within a 50 mile radius of me, because I think I would actually drive that far to get it. Unfortunately, they only distribute to New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Lucky states.

Now, I’ve never actually had Perry’s Ice Cream, so it really could be utter trash, but let’s be positive and list the pros:

• It’s named Panda Paws. Anything panda related is worth trying.
• It has Peanut Butter Panda Paw Cups. Just saying that makes me happy.
• It comes in yummy flavors: Chocolate, Cherry & Original
• It comes in a Light version, which will obviously not make me thinner, but is better than full calories, right?
  
• It’s Kosher. I’m not Jewish, but Kosher always seems like a good thing to be to me.

Anyone ever actually had it? Am I just romanticizing it in my head or is it actually as awesome as I’ve purported?

I personally find the idea of shoving a pencil into a panda’s neck disturbing and unappealing. However, if you imagine that to be a fun scenario feel free to get this panda pencil sharpener for only $2.99 from The Big Zoo.

This cute little panda couple is a set of cell phone charms for you and your lovely mate.  I not only want these, I also want a lovely mate willing to do silly things like have a panda charm version of himself for me. Maybe someday?

$5.09 from here.

I’m late, yet again, on a trend by a year. Louis Vuitton released panda covered purses and totes last year and I didn’t even notice. Probably because I hate Louis Vuitton, I’m more a Prada girl. But, still that’s no excuse for a purse lover, and I’m disappointed I didn’t get to these earlier. You can still find these pieces on eBay if you search, but at twice the original selling price tag. Just be forewarned that there are lots of knockoffs on eBay going for top dollar. At least if you get stuck with a Prada knockoff, it’s classy and chic, not tacky…

This tiny little 3 inch tag is going for $200 and up. People, there are starving children somewhere!

There’s a quick, easy recipe at BettyCrocker.com for a panda cake. And what more do you want in a recipe other than panda related, quick and easy? Absolutely nothing.

So, I’ve been thinking about camping a lot since it’s Spring and I can’t wait to get in the mountains again. As I was longingly looking through camping gear I hope to buy, I stumbled upon this panda carabiner LED flashlight. Only $6.75 at FirstTreks.com so it’d be fun for kids (or me) and cheap enough to not worry about losing.

No grizzly will even think of messing with me and my panda flashlight.

I’ve been using Mozilla Firefox for at least 5 years now and it was just last week that I realized that a firefox was another name for a red panda! I look at their logo multiple (too many) times a day and never realized it was cute little red panda curled around the Earth.

If you don’t already have it, I highly recommend it. Also, if you download it through the ad below, it will add $2.00 (I was mistaken, it’s $1.00) to the advertisement revenue donations. Yay!
