Happy Birthday to Me

Greetings!

My birthday is on Wednesday. Since I'm going to be decrepitly (is that a word? it should be) old, I'm giving myself a small present. As a gift to myself, I'm going to take a week off from blogging.

I know this will be a sad time for all (both) of you who regularly tune in to see what button I've selected each day, but I'm sure you'll survive somehow. Just visit my button gallery and pick a random design to adore - that should get you through the dark times.

See you next week (when I'm decrepitly old plus a few days). =)

Minions make the world go (1") round

Today's post will be short and sweet - just the two buttons for Two-Button Tuesday, then I'm out of here. I have shrink plastic jewelry to make, bills to pay, a chicken to roast, and a workspace to clean.

Today's buttons are in honor of my minion Mat (aka OCD Boy), who created the first of the two. I think you'll notice a theme.

#0319: Only Optimists are Disappointed

And for the button numero dos...

#0316: Health is merely the slowest rate at which one can die.

If you like this kind of low-altitude attitude, you might also enjoy some of the other buttons in the Pessimism section on the Mood Disorders page of my button gallery.

Panicking and Shortness

Today is Panic Day! I don't know why it's Panic Day, but I have a button for it anyway:

#0282: Panic Button

And because it's Two-Button Tuesday, here's the second button:

#0325: I'm not short. I'm fun-sized.

Wonder why this is one of the buttons for today? It might have something to do with the fact that today is Emmanuel Lewis's birthday. Or maybe I was inspired by Barbie's birthday. Or it could just be random coincidence.

The First Two-Button Tuesday: Ideas

Welcome to the very first edition of Two-Button Tuesday. I'm kinda cheating, because the two buttons are actually variations of the same button, but it's my blog and I can kinda cheat if I want to.

Another reason I love March is that it's International Ideas Month. To celebrate that, here are the Tuesday Two:

#0085: Idea Girl

These buttons were designed by my talented minion, Mat (aka OCD Boy).

#0100: Idea Guy

And in case you're interested in other totally awesome stuff, today is Read Across America Day and the birthday of both Dr. Seuss and Jon Bon Jovi.

A Blog? That's Madness. March Madness.

Welcome to OOOH SHINY! - the official blog of Short Attention Span Girl.

Since March is my favorite month, I've decided to officially launch my brand new blog on March 1st. March has all the best stuff:

• Spring
• St. Patrick's Day (aka Corned Beef & Cabbage Awareness Day)
• Pi Day
• The Ides of March
• My birthday
• And it's National Craft Month

And to top it all off, the first week of March is National Procrastination Week. Which brings me to my very first Button of the Day:

Button #0298: "I Have Not Yet Begun to Procrastinate"

It's ironic, because I'm not actually procrastinating. I'm really starting this blog! Really! Can you smell the desperation?

The first order of business for this blog is to have a Button of the Day every day (well, every weekday), and Two on Tuesday. I have over 450 different button designs so far, so that should last me a while.

When I have the time, energy, and inspiration, I'll also write about other random stuff relating to my business (new items, crafty experiments, special offers, etc), my life (I should get one of those), and the world around me (I assume there is such a thing, because I see it in my computer).

Disclaimer: If I offend you, feel free to stop reading and go somewhere that better suits your delicate sensibilities. I do enjoy making fun of hate mail though, so bring it on!
