Pixel Posybytes of life

My high school gym teacher gave me the best reason for the existence of Santa Clause. Santa is not about a jolly, albeit a bit creepy, old fat man in a red suit. No, it’s about the magic and spirit that goes along with the season. He exists because we believe in the magic of the season. So that was the inspiration behind my best selling design through CafePress.

Check it out, you can still order it in time for the Holidays! http://www.cafepress.com/pixelposy/6974047

Women's Fitted T-Shirt

My favorite to layer over a red long sleeve.

Organic Baby Bodysuit

So cute and organic cotton too!

10 pack of Mini Buttons - Stocking Stuffer Idea! (also sold individually)

Random weird fact… I have a button collection attached to a handmade clown I was gifted with when I was first born.

I will defiantly have to check back on the progress of this story.

James May plans to take more than 3 million Lego bricks (he’s asking for donations) and assemble a full size two story home that he’ll live in, at least for a few days.

He is even working with someone to develop a flushable Lego toilet.

I wonder if it will have Lego furniture; that bed couldn’t be comfortable.

There are some crazy people on these here internets…

Being a Mommy Blogger is apparently the hot new thing and Beccah Beushausen decided to throw her voice into the mix by detailing her pregnancy struggles of carrying a terminally ill child. She garnered support from many sympathetic parents and anti-abortionist advocates applauding her courage to carry the baby to term.

The story climaxed with a home birth, which was blogged “live”. Sadly the baby, named April, died hours after birth, but Beaushausen had a picture of mommy and baby together to post for her followers.

An astute reader noticed that the baby cradled in Beushausen’s arms looked an awful lot, no, exactly like the plastic life like baby doll she had in her own home. She quickly called foul and Beushausen’s story unraveled faster than she could delete her Twitter, Facebook and Blogger accounts.

The author currently has an apology posted in place of her original blog, but you can still see an archived image of her site from June first in the links below.

Wow… Internet hoaxes are certainly nothing new, but the backlash is certainly nasty when the hoax pulls in people by the heartstrings. Do you feel Beushausen did anything wrong by keeping from her readers that her blog was pure fiction? Or are people just too trustful of the things they read online, and getting duped is the price to pay for being gullible?

Isn’t it amazing what a single bullet can do?

I randomly came across The Gooch from Scrubs in her musical duo Garfunkel & Oates. You can download their songs or watch their videos at their web site. Funny girls.
