I had a great time at my joint sample sale with my designing friend Zang Toi<\/a> today. All my peeps stopped by. Gorgeous blogger Pamela of Market Publique<\/a> treated herself to an asterisk ring<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My gorgeous friend Elizabeth was all like, “OMG!”<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a>

Click Elizabeth to pre-order the OMG rings on Kickstarter.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Elizabeth, WendyB and the Cleopatra necklace.<\/p><\/div>\n

Gorgeous blogger Tina of The Occasional Cook<\/a> is a big True Blood fan like me. For us, OMG stands for “Oh my Godric<\/a>!”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Tina is wearing her vampire stake and Little Woolf necklaces.<\/p><\/div>\n

Cecilia was all about my Cleopatra necklace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My friend Kevin had the most fun because he invented Swear-Ring Scrabble. I’d already pointed out that the various sets could be mixed and matched to create new words<\/a>, but Kevin is the new champion.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a>

Kevin started out with the basic NYC set.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

New York -- exclamation point!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Go!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I haven't the foggiest notion about what Kevin will come up with next.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Hmmm. Does this mean he likes True Blood too?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Don't get coy now, Kevin!<\/p><\/div>\n

Anyone who wants to challenge Kevin in Swear-Ring Scrabble can go to Kickstarter<\/a> to order the new OMG, NYC and LOLZ ring sets, as well as the original F@#! set. I’m now fully funded on Kickstarter<\/a> but I still want to place more rings in loving homes before my funding time is up!<\/p>\n

Other shopping options are my genie necklaces in silver<\/a> and gold<\/a>. From now through August 26, a portion of each genie’s sales price will be donated to UNICEF’s flood relief effort for the children of Pakistan. To donate on your own, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who came to the sale. It means so much to me when y’all turn out to support me. Thanks especially to Zang for having me again and to my unpaid helpers: Stacy<\/a>, GeorgeB and BarbaraB.<\/p>\n
