everything you can think of! I have the privilege of owning one of her very adorable Christmas ornaments,  that just thrilled my daughter to no end to hang it proudly on our Christmas tree this year!

She is very creative creating up cycled clocks,  to adorable match book notebooks for your purse, that you can also purchase and use as a promotional item for your business.

A Bit Behind ~ But still here!


Phewwww... I bet you think I forgot to do my next feature!  I have been so busy I have fallen behind!  Let me say all the people and shops I have encountered so far on Zibbet are just awesome! I wish I could feature everyone right away! I have never come across a selling venue that is so interested in making the sellers happy!  The administration on Zibbet is just fabulous!  If you have a shop anywhere else you should hop on over to Zibbet and open up shop there also.  It is a fairly new venue for hand made crafters and artisans,  but it is an awesome site.  The features are wonderful,  they have customizable shop fronts, coupon and gift certificate managers, copy this listing feature and so much more to make the job of the shop owner so much easier! They don't allow items made in China or from any source of mass production.  It's all hand made, vintage, or supplies. You can truly buy a hand made item from the shops on Zibbet!  As I always say....  Buy Hand Made....Give Love! 


As a Zibbet shop owner of three different shops,  I have created this blog to help spread the word about Zibbet and it's wonderful people ...shop owners...and administration alike.  I have fallen a bit behind here in posting my features of these wonderful shop owners,  however with the new year I hope to be able to keep up a pace of one shop a week.  There are so many shops on Zibbet  it'll take me a long time to get to them all.  I have a page on this blog that you can go to and browse some of the shops that have linked up to this blog for a little more exposure of their shop!  Also a great way to be introduced to some of the most fabulous Zibbet shops is to purchase Z Box  a sample box of over 15 Zibbet shops.  I say samples but a lot of shop owners have sent in full size items for their samples!  A lot of shop owners also provide a coupon to use in their shops on your first purchase!  For the next 10 days in December you can purchase a Z Box and get 24 samples with more than 4 items being jewelry!  They will go back to 15 - 18 samples January 1st!  We are only offering the super stuffed sample box for December!  You can see what shops have sent in for their samples on the  Samples For this month page on this blog or on our Face Book Page in the photo album! Here:  Face Book Sample Photo Album  also   "LIKE" our page while you are there to stay up to date on giveaways and who's joining Z Box!  We also share Zibbet shops that are having sales there as well as Z Box shops of the day!  Lots of fun stuff going on there!

Denim & Pearls


This shop owner is one busy lady! Not only does she own and manage 3 Zibbet shops,  she also writes various articles for Zibbet's blog Inspire !

A jewelry maker myself,  I love her handmade jewelry! Denim & Pearls has some of the most beautiful pieces of casual yet elegant jewelry,  perfect for everyday with jeans or for your more formal occasions!

You'll find this information in Vickie's profiles!
"My name is Vicki Schofield and I am the owner of Denim and Pearls, where I offer jewelry designs that embrace my two favorite fashion statements: denim and pearls!

I am a former high school teacher turned full time jewelry and needlework designer. I am a wife and mother and mother-in-law. My family is second only to my faith in God! I am deeply committed to all that I hold dear--my faith, my family and my creative pursuits. I love doing custom jewelry design work so please don't hesitate to inquire about the possibility of having something created that is "uniquely you!" 


I am sometimes assisted by one or more of my three kitties--Lluvia, Oreo and Cali.

Lluvia, the tabby cat, is the least frequent contributor and rarely makes an appearance in the studio. Oreo, the tuxedo kitty, is quite fond of positioning herself on my design table as close as she can possibly be to me. Cali, the calico, can usually be found on my chair or on the floor
at my feet under the design table.

I LOVE beads, especially glass and crystal, freshwater and glass pearls, and white metal finishes. In addition to creating adornments for your ears, neck and wrists, I also design jewelry for your books, cell phones and keys.

 I am {also} owner and designer of A Stitch and a Prayer, where I offer original counted thread needlework patterns. My designs feature Christian and family themes. I most enjoy designing band samplers based on a verse of scripture. I love color and texture and often apply stitches to fabric that are traditionally used on needlepoint canvas. Handdyed floss and beads are often components of my designs.

A Stitch and a Prayer was "born" in 2001 as a wholesale only design company. However, a few years ago I decided to offer my patterns for sale directly to retail customers by way of the Internet. I am very excited to now sell through Zibbet!
"

Vicki also participates in Z Box with all 3 of her Shops!


Vicki is a great source of inspiration and a wealth of information! She inspires many of us in the Zibbet Forums! 
Please visit her Zibbet Shops and shop!











Please go visit with Vicki you won't be sorry! While you are there tell her Zibbeters: Show and Tell Blog sent you!
Thank you! Until next time have a great day!

Portable Graffiti

Portable Graffiti has an awesome business going here! Just read her feedback to see that !

She will stand on her head to help you get exactly the look you are wanting for any graphic designing she does for you!


You'll find this info on Judy's profile in her Portable Graffiti Graphics, shop......


My graphic design experience started in high school with a major in art. I won first place in an ad layout contest.

I worked in a print shop after school starting when I was 16. Stayed with the same company after graduation.

I was a paste-up artist. They don't even call it that anymore, I guess. Instead of a computer we used x-acto knives and rubber cement. Cut up all the words and pictures and glued them in place instead of a computer key for "cut and paste." Lines were created with a roll of chart pak tape. I still have a small collection of these "antique" tools. Can't make myself get rid of my t-square, triangle, waxer, burnisher and proportion wheel even though they are useless tools now.

Experience:
Lettra Graphics, Pleasantville, NY
Omni Magazine
Cuisine
American Photographer
Penthouse

ART DIRECTOR
Phase One Graphics – Peekskill, NY
Prentice Hall
Sadlier
Franklin Watts
Simon & Schuster

Assistant Marketing Director
LeCroy Corporation, Chestnut Ridge, NY





Like these buttons?  
Judy does buttons also,  there are SO MANY  in her shop to choose from I had a hard time deciding which ones to put on here!  I LOVE so many of them!  You can get a really good idea of her sense of humor! Great Buttons!

That's not all Judy does either!  She also has a proofreading business and I can tell you there is a giant need for that! I see a lot of websites that could greatly benefit from this service! 

Please go see Judy for your graphic designs needs, your button fetish, and your proofreading services! 

AND  AS if that enough isn't to keep Judy busy, she also sells Vintage and 
other crafty curiosities......


Here's where you can find her!
