Dear Sweet Zombie Jeebus, I may regret this...

[thatwordgrrl.livejournal.com]

Over here, I posted that I had about 300 Back up (see icon) ribbons printed up that I was willing to send out, at no cost, to people who asked. Some people asked and I also had a handful with me at the con this year.

Clearly, it was not enough.

So to make this bigger and louder, I am making the offer here. You PM me your addy and I send you ribbons *free of charge*. They will go out in batches of 10 (unless I get inundated, in which case, I will lower that number).

Unless I get hollered at by the mods, I will repost this once every month or two, just to keep it fresh in people's minds.

Please note, that I am but one person doing this as my volunteer project. The more voices we have, the more people see the ribbons, the bigger this gets.

I'm going to run in terror now from the potential ensuing tidal wave... :>

[ETA: Peeking out from under the deluge...

WOW -- I am beyond floored at the response so far!

A few things:

1. Please, I must give credit to these people, who gave me the initial idea. They planted the seed.

2. It appears I may be close to out of the run of 300, just from requests today. :O So unless you specified more (at least one person wanted 30), I need to reduce the batches to five. I will place another order. Please be patient if yours don't show up right away.

3. Alright, alright! A Paypal addy is in the process of being arranged. Twist my arm, whydoncha! :>

Or, you know, to quote one of my favorite do-gooders: "I'm just happy to be doin' good works."

THANK YOU ONE AND ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!]

[ETA PART TWO -- ELECTRIC BOOGALOO Paypal addy arranged: thatwordgrrl [at] gmail [dot] com
*Please specify it as a gift, so that Paypal takes as little as possible.* Again, please don't feel obligated. THNKS!]

Extra book for free

[i-heart-cameron.livejournal.com]

Hey guys, I have an extra one of those book things if anyone wants it. Not the program guides but the one that looks like a magazine. Just pay the 2-3 dollar shipping and it's yours. I heard it's a collectible or something.

Also, I had a great first con! Loved my roommates, loved the costumes, it was all amazing. Kristin Bauer was the coolest ever. And I was so thrilled when Michelle Forbes got me to do the nobody needed towels!! I think she didn't think I would, lol.
