Alphabet ATCs

For the last few weeks, I’ve been participating in a series of swaps for alphabet ATCs – one ATC for each letter. So far I’m up to “G”. Here’s a quick collage of what I’ve made and received so far (a few didn’t get photos before I sent them out).

Left to right: “Ankh” from dillon2662, “Blue Baby Bunnies” from MommaEvans, “Cupcake” from dillon2662, “Ducky” by me, “Daffodil” by dillon2662, “Elf, Embossed, Earth and Eagle” from Electra, “Enormous Ears” by me to fang0915, “Face 2 Face” by me to dalbright, “Girly Gorgeous” by me to  ArtHarpy.

What did *you* bring for lunch?

Just spotted this crazy lunch bag at ThinkGeek.com. Too bad I didn’t see it sooner – would have been a perfect gag gift for my brother’s birthday! 😉

Organ Transport Lunch Bag – What did *you* bring for lunch?
Those jerks in the office keep stealing your BLTs from the fridge. You’ve tried everything from hiding your lunchbox in the crisper drawer to leaving passive-aggressive notes on your brown paper bag. Let a bit of social engineering do the job!This bag resembles the one used by EMTs transporting human organs to the hospital for transplant. Maybe they won’t want to see gross raw innards, or maybe they don’t want to somehow contaminate a lifegiving donation. Either way, your lunch is left alone, for once.

Note: Please don’t use this bag to cut your way through lines. That’s just not cool. Funny, but not cool.

ThinkGeek.com is one of my favorite sites for wacky, funky or unique gifts like this (where I bought hubby’s Firefly t-shirt last Christmas). Next time you’re in the market for something a little less than ordinary for your local zombie activist‘s birthday, a Christmas present for your favorite trekkie, or a prank to play on your unsuspecting coworkers or roommates, head to ThinkGeek.com and let the fun begin!

Home Ownership in the U.S Infographic (sponsored post)

Which state has the lowest property tax? How about the highest? This infographic about US home ownership has the answer to these questions and more!

Since 2008, the real estate market has been turned upside down and millions of people throughout the U.S. have been affected by it. Home values have fallen and millions of jobs have been lost which means fewer Americans are able to afford their homes. That means we are in a buyers market and now is the best time for individuals to purchase a home. There are millions of houses for sale, few buyers, and this infographic on home ownership in the U.S. can help you learn more about the best places to own a home.
