SimplyInvitingCards' Holiday Chaaalleennnge!
Hey rats! Fall is in full swing, and the holidays are peeking around the corner. It's the perfect time for a little friendly competiton for a fantastic prize.
What is the theme?
Glistening Snow and Mistletoe!
How do I enter?
1). Create an item that best fits with the theme, Glistening Snow and mistletoe. ANY item can be entered, so long as it fits the description of the theme. It must be a NEW creation, not something pre-exisiting.
2). List that item on Etsy, and it MUST be tagged with "labratsteam". If you have a flickr account, upload it to the team's group (this is optional)!
3). Copy and paste the link into the comment section of THIS blog entry and this blog entry only. You may only enter once, with ONE item - so make it a doozy. :-P
Who is judging?
itsastitch, Allysattic and SimplyInvitingCards (since she picked the theme). The next time we do this (which will be next summer), another member will be choosen to pick a theme and judge with us.
What are we looking for?
- GREAT photos.
- Fits with the theme.
- Creativity.
- A thorough, well done description.
How long do I have to enter?
Contest starts today and runs for a month, ending on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22nd. That means the last day to enter will be SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21st.
How will we score/pick the winner?
With a scale of 1-5 for each category, 1 being worst, 5 being the best. We will look at each entry in a private chat room, and score, picking a top 5 from the entries and announcing them on WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25th. Once the top 5 are announced, we will create a poll for you to vote on. If you happen to make it into the top 5, you may invite anyone and everyone you know to vote on it, you DO NOT have to be a member to vote. The poll will be up for ONE WEEK, ending TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1st at 11:59pm EST.
Ok ok ok, but what is the prize?!
Well, the winner's item will receive a 4-day long promotion on craftcult.com on the scrolling bar at the top, paid for by me, Allysattic and SimplyInvitingCards! It will run the very first avaliable 4 day span on craftcult, and we will notify the winner of those days.
But what if my item sells?
Well first, yay sales! But secondly, the item can remain in the contest, and should it win, an item of your choosing can be used in place of the item that won for your ad.
Best of luck, rats. Can't wait to see your entries!
On your mark, get set - CRAFT!

Wishlist Wednesday: littlebitofpretty
This week Kim (aka: littlebitofpretty) was selected to choose 5 items from etsy that she would buy in half a moment's time if she could. Take a look at her gorgeous collection!
1). Kim's first pick comes from our very own rat, moonthroughfog! Kim says the original acrylic painting has great texture and lovely colors, and loves the zebra-like print to it. She REALLY wants to buy it!
2). This wooden bracelet comes from 3dots is Kim's next pick, she said she loves this bracelet so much she's included in a treasury and really just adores the whole shop.
3). Since Pride and Prejudice is Kim's favorite book, the Mr. Darcy Proposal mug from Brookish is right up Kim's alley. Jane Austen is her favorite author, and she says she might just have to buy the whole set.
4) Despite having nowhere to wear it, Kim really wants isadoraclothing's Chameleon Full Length customizable gown. The material (rayon jersey) would be super soft and it comes in lots of colors. I might fight you for this one, Kim. This dress is killer!
5) Finally, since Kim is from Canada, she frequently experiences sweater fever and she just wants to buy every sweater and shawl she sees. The Rococo Shawl from TickledPinkKnits is no exception! In a luxurious merino wool/alpaca/silk blend, she really feels like it's self explanatory why she loves it.
Fabulous stuff, littlebitofpretty! I leave you with my favorite item from Kim's shop:

Wishlist Wednesday: Fresh Picks from rathina
This Wednesday the lovely rathina was randomly selected to pick any 5 items of her choosing from Etsy. Here goes!
1). First item comes from LittleSidekick. This is her Cotton Crochet Monkey Hat for 0-24mths. rathina says her son would look just adorable in it, and I'm totally betting she is right!
2). This Stained Glass Kitty Business Card Holder comes from Glass2Class and rathina calls it adorable, and says she just loves cats!
3). Continuing to show her love for cats, rathina chooses woodnamesandmore's Custom Corner Cats for her home, saying hubby limits her to 2 kitties so these would be the perfect way to sneak in more.
4). PoshDots' Sea Dreams Hand Painted Wooden Letters would look fabulous in rathina's soon to be finished under the sea master suite, saying she loves these letters by this talented artist.
5). Finally, being a big scrabble fan this Scrabble Family Pillow from designlab443 is going to be bought as soon as rathina's family grows, she says.
Great items, rathina. I'll wrap this up with a lovely switch plate from your shop!

It's also a 3-day weekend for most, so in honor of that, some rats are having sales! Check out these shops for some deals:

Wishlist Wednesday: Fresh Picks from ZidishaLuxe
It's Wednesday, which means our next installment of Wishlist Wednesday is up! This time around, miss ZidishaLuxe was picked, at random, to select five of her absolute favorite, would buy them in a heartbeat if she could items from Etsy. Her picks:
1). Although ZidishLuxe couldn't think of a place or event to wear the Pink Pod Convertable Tulip Dress by attiladesign, she'd buy this simply gorgeous piece without a second thought!
2) Having a soft spot for vintage boots, these Oxford Equestrian Ankle Boots from MissKittenVintage, ZidishaLuxe just loves these way cute shoes. Looks like someone else loved them, too. Sold out!
3) ZidishaLuxe loves this Technicolor Romper by ruffeoheartslilsnoty, calling it oh so fly.
4) PonderandStitch's adorable Postcard Sentiment Cuff is one of ZidishLuxe's favorite finds on Etsy, saying that the connection the words have spans over time.
5) And finally, this pick comes from our very own WorksInProgress, her sea. love. ring that ZidishaLuxe calls, "perfect for her". Between Zidisha's love of Poe and this song, it had to be in her top five.
So ends another Wishlist Wednesday. Thanks to ZidishaLuxe for her beautiful picks, I'll leave you with an item I love from Zidisha's shop!

First Lab Rat Treasury: Seeing Red
I was going to wait until we were an approved team, but I am an eager beaver, and T-west opened right when I hopped online this morning, so I had to make one. The first, of hopefully many (and I encourage everyone to make these once in a while) Lab Rat treasuries!
Theme: red!
Squeak,
itsastitch
