We not only love them because they're saving the world one room at a time, but because THEY FEATURED US, they're just plain, out-right, awesome people that we've never met.

One just needs to check out their Valentine's list, from a few weeks ago, all ideas from Etsy. And, maybe we're OVER THE MOON pretty honored that of millions of options on Etsy, they chose their Top 10 and WE MADE THE CUT!

Or, rather, these little guys did...

We feature ourselves on our own blog all the time (ha!) but when we see ourselves on another blog (an incredibly cool one to boot!), we get a tweed bit giddy.

Last we checked they had about 78,000 friends on Facebook. That's only a mere 77,700-ish more friends than gg but WHO THE HECK IS COUNTING because we can call them our BEST friend now too. :)

The Ultimate Birthday Package.

You start with their birthday age:

Then you decide colors on their yummy cupcake:

Then you add a little personalization to the cupcake so said birthday kid will know it's for him/her:

Then you set it in its own custom stand so this little cupcake can take center stage:

Put a custom stand with the 3-foot tall birthday age and you've just created yourself the ultimate birthday party package!

We are thankful for our customers who create combos of items we may have never put together ourselves. And we're thankful for UPS who helps us navigate the shipping of this huge & heavy & incredibly breakable ULTIMATE BIRTHDAY PACKAGE. :)

Now here we were thinking our little letters looked quite cute on our usual photo prop brick mantle.

Until we saw it in the actual store for which we made it...

And it just made them spring to life! Hey letters, we know you!!

Bells & Whistles is an adorable shop out of Massachusetts. Find them on FB or check out their website to see all they have to offer.

Love seeing our little guys in action. :)

we PICKED a winner.

A shocking thing began to happen the third week of January. We listed an item on Etsy, doing no real promos for it ahead of time and within 10 minutes our phones starting to ping, which says to us, "You have a new order!"

What? Your phones don't talk? Then you should get a GG Smart Phone. It also tells you your hair looks nice even when it doesn't. And that your outfit is awesome, even when it's not.

The pings happened so much throughout the night that we've had to turn them off, only to wake up and shake our heads in disbelief. We call them "Sleep Sales" and it's a blast to wake up to!

So now that we're BFF's with every local branch of post office and UPS hub in Glynn County, we get to watch them get wide-eyed when we walk in with these...

on a daily basis.

It's the perfect Valentine's gift for any music lover in your family and at the perfect price of $10, it can be personalized with any phrase or wording of choice.

Purchase here or here and locals don't forget to use our LOCAL coupon code to avoid shipping fees.

Now you've finally got something to tweet about, Wilson.

W@lt Disney was right.

Everyone has their 15 minutes of fame.

For some, it happens live on TV. For others, it happens as a recap on the 11 o'clock news. And for others, they land in the top 10 on American Idol, only to be forgotten a month later.

For us, it happened in a 3rd grade classroom.

This group of HIGHLY energetic 8 and 9 year olds welcomed us with open arms {and LOTS of questions}. We were asked to come and speak about what it takes to be an entrepreneur.

A WHAT?

Let's talk about how we were in our {ahem} 30's before we understood what an entre-whosy-whatsy was, and now these NINE YEAR OLDS are putting our intelligence to shame.

If you want to feel famous, have a teacher introduce you to her class as a "business owner", "entrepreneur", "employer", "speaker", "motivator", and former American Idol. It sure will make you feel a whole lot more important than you actually are.

Those kids have no idea how significantly they are going to impact the world. In listening to their dreams, we saw future business owners, professional athletes, restauranteurs, inventors, doctors, ministers, builders...dreamers.

And it's a joy to stand on the other side and be able to say all our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. {sayeth a little guy named Walt Disney}
