I've been TAGGED!

I have been tagged by piccoladonna2006

The rules of tagging!: 1. Link to tagger & display these rules on your blog. 2. Share 7 facts about yourself - some random, some weird. 3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by including links to their blog. 4. Let them know they've been tagged by commenting on their blogs!

Seven strange facts about the Digital Misfit (otherwise known as Heidi):
  1. I am agoraphobic
  2. I do not know how to ride a bicycle (and I hate the phrase "its just like riding a bicycle!" to refer to easy things you never forget)
  3. I watched the US election coverage from noon until 2am with a big bottle of champagne...and I am Canadian (I am so proud of my neighbours!)
  4. I hate raisins.
  5. I have an obsession with long knit or crocheted scarves.
  6. I have a celebrity crush on Jon Stewart.
  7. My musical tastes are very uncool and consist primarily of female vocalists from the 50s to 90s. I can't identify most of the current top 40.

You've been tagged! (gotta spread the torture):

Sweet Figments Giveaway Featured Artist #2 - Zahour

Sweet Figments: The Blog A Day Giveaway!

My second feature artist from the Sweet Figments Blog A Day Giveaway is Zahour.
This amazing metalsmith & jewelry designer has some stunning pieces listed right now in her etsy shop.
I am most impressed with the Male 4 Dot Industrial Ring in the satin finish. I think this very masculine sexy ring would make a perfect holiday gift for a deserving partner. It is SO hard to find modern stylish rings for a man. They are either too plain (and look like wedding bands - way to make a boyfriend sweat!) or too gaudy (Soprano's post-series overstock anyone?). Zahour has solved this dilemna with many gorgeous pieces that a modern man would love to own.
Stop by her shop and browse around - you are sure to find something for that special sexy man (and don't forget to get something nice for yourself too - there are LOTS of fabulous pieces for women of style!).

Sweet Figments Giveaway Featured Artist #1 - Little Black Box

Sweet Figments: The Blog A Day Giveaway!

Thirty fabulous prizes are up for grabs in this awesome giveaway hosted at Sweet Figments!

One of the items is a handmade jackpot of sample goodies, the Little Black Box.
Earlier I posted about a similar package I received from another company (Spotted Box). The Little Black Box is the standard of sampler boxes. You could find jewelry, silk scarves, bath and body goodies, candles, magnets, photography, dog treats, stationery, keychains, buttons - and much more - inside your mystery stash of handmade goodness! Each box contains approximately 17 promotional items from various artists/crafters around the web.
Want to know who is in the box? Take a peek here to read about the contributors.

Little Black Box is only available to US customers :(
International customers can order a Little Purple Box from their sister site.
