Normally I’m sunshine and rainbows in this blog, but I just wanted to take a moment to talk about my best friend, Pixel.
Pixel was my golden retriever, and she was diagnosed with heart cancer last month. This morning she passed away in her sleep. It’s been really heartbreaking for me, because she is the first pet I’ve ever lost, and she was such an important member of my family! For the past 10 years, it’s always been “Pokky & Pixel!” so I’m just really sad today :(
Pokky & Pixel as puppies:)
The good news is that after she was diagnosed, even though she only lived a month, they were really happy days! She ran and played and begged for food and on the whole, was doing super awesome. For a while I thought maybe she was misdiagnosed!
I just wanted to say that she was a super amazing friend, and she touched a lot of people. She had her wild days, was a goofball, and had THE WORLD’S WORST DOG BREATH known to man. She was also amazingly loving, gorgeous looking, super cuddly and really loyal. She loved full body massages, when I held her hand, and hanging out in the back yard.
(a few years ago, Pixel was the mascot for my holiday magnet :D )
She was 10.5 years old, really too young in my opinion and I’m just glad i had this last month to say goodbye to her. If you have a pet, go hug them. They say ‘every day is a gift,’ and I know exactly what they mean.
Gale and Mr. Narwhal strike a pose with a mountain of your cyber monday orders!! :)
Have you read XKCD? The most recent comic is a little different! (hint: try clicking and dragging the last panel to the right, left and up and down- MAGICS!)
Thanks for the link boingboing! ;-) This should be viral in 3…2…1…
I’m sure by now you have all read the post about how we haven’t had electricity (or air conditioning!!) at the shop for 6 days now. Here’s a fun update:
We didn’t have power starting on wednesday night of last week because of a storm and heatwave. Read about how we managed to pack all of your orders without power!
Then on saturday night, THIS HAPPENED! Yeah. So, that’s the story. FUN!
At Xmas last year I hired Gale as a temporary holiday worker. Turns out though that she’s super smart, has her own comic strip and knits amazing arm warmers! Oh, and she even interned at the CIA – crazy right??!
Obviously I couldn’t let her slip by unnoticed, so I hired her as my magical assistant even though she’s leaving next summer to pursue her comic book dreams at grad school!
Since she has so much awesome to share, I’ve made her a guest blogger for this year and I hope you LOVE her quirky point of view and sunshine-y personality!
We’ve been having a horrible heat wave in Michigan, along with pretty much the rest of the world and when I got to work today after last night’s storm? NO POWER!! Ok, so it’s going to be 100 degrees and there’s no power. Most people would call it a day (all of the businesses around me were closed) but the magical shippers of Shana Logic? NO WAY!
Gale (my main girlie!) helped packed up the car with the computer, printer, scales and supplies and we drove over to my house and printed out your orders. Then Gale and Jake and I went back to the shop and packed all of the orders with very little light and NO A/C (ack!). Seriously, I’m a huge baby about heat so I mainly complained and then when I got to my house to cool down, I looked like a drowned rat. (Gale and Jake of course looked stunning :-)
THEN, we all drove over to my place to ship the orders and fold the new Claire Belton Tees and Octo-plushies! (Well, actually, I folded my own laundry while THEY folded the tees, but hey, who’s really paying attention?)
When I called the electric company, they basically said “YO. No power for you!!” So we’ll just have to do the same thing tomorrow -FUN!! :-)

UPDATE: Read this post about our continued lack of power (plus, there’s a crazy photo!)
I’ve been having a lot of fun with instagram – posting crappy photos and making them lovely AND posting pretty photos and making them prettier!
Here’s some of my recent shots:
