Zazzlers, let's do #FollowFriday thing!



Hello Zazzlers and Friends!


One of these days a fellow Zazzler wasn't aware of what the #FollowFriday is about. I scheduled a post about it on my mind. Today is Friday, so it's a good day to write about the FollowFriday thing!

I don't know when it started and how it started. I really can't say but I've been getting #followfriday or #FF for a long time. The first time I did, I did not know what it meant. I noticed that short list of @name and #followfriday in the tweet and did not know what to do it!! Every Friday I seem to forget that I can join the game and suggest my followers who to follow on Twitter.

But what does it means? By suggesting others who to follow on Twitter I am recognizing those persons as good connections. It means I value those persons for something specific. That might happen because that group gives away good tweets, or because they have a nice Zazzle store or a nice blog I want you to discover. Usually, the group should have something in common. So instead of searching for people interested in the same topics as myself I just have to check for those suggestions from Zazzlers. At least that's how I see #FF thing.

There are really no rules to FollowFriday except the hashtag #Followfriday. You can suggest as many Zazzlers you like or just suggest a few. What happens then? You may increase your Follower count and build your network of contacts for your business or just the number of Zazzlers you know. Of course, you may get some angry followers also - but people let's be reasonable, we can't share all our favorites in one FollowFriday! Fortunately, we have more than one Friday in the year to do it!


So ready to join the #FF game? It's easy! Just think of a couple of people you enjoy following, and that you think I should too. Come on!





Any ideas for iPhone 5 Cases anyone?



Birthday Invitation Product Review - it's good to now!



"I recently ordered a birthday invitation for my son's 5th birthday party. It was an invitation that includes my son's photo. It was SO easy to order, a very fair price, and I couldn't believe how fast it arrived - especially considering the personalization and photo included in it! Zazzle exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be ordering from them again in the future!!"

I joined the 2013 Sketchbook Project!



The 2013 Sketchbook project!

I just signed up so, for now, I have to wait maybe a month so they mail me a package containing a custom-designed Sketchbook Project sketchbook with a barcode on it, the chosen theme, and detailed instructions about the project. Then I will fill it and send the sketchbook back to them. It will be archived in the Brooklyn Art Library and exhibited to the public!

The Sketchbook Project is a worldwide creative experience. Together, thousands of regular people from around the world will form a traveling library of handmade books. This project is for anyone who craves an outlet for that undeniable creative bug. Anyone — from anywhere — regardless of his or her creative background can and should participate. The Sketchbook Project is not just a project for sketchbooks. It’s a library featuring all kinds of handmade books. I loved this piece of advice from the organization:"Draw in your book, cut it into pieces and glue it back together, sleep with it under your pillow, write about your trip to the lake, tell the story of how you lost your keys that one time, write a poem about how the summer makes you feel warm inside, stare at your book until the night before the deadline and then feel inspired by the impending doom of the due date and bust out the most amazing work you’ve ever made, use your book as a release for all those stresses you’ve been under, or just sketch. The choice is yours.I liked the idea of my Sketchbook making a journey across North America. They say we’ll get an email or text message from our book every now and then to keep you updated on its journey. Then the book will move into its new home at the Brooklyn Art Library.

For now, I am waiting for a custom-crafted sketchbook made from 100% recycled, locally milled paper, printed with vegetable-based inks and produced at Pinball Publishing in Portland, OR. The book is 5"W x 7"H, bound with wire staples and filled with 32 blank pages — just waiting for me to fill them!

The Sketchbook Project is organized by Art House, an independent Brooklyn- based company that organizes global, collaborative art projects. Art House began in 2006 in Atlanta, GA and moved to New York City in 2009. Since that time, the small organization has grown into a worldwide community of artists and organized dozens of interactive projects both massive and small. Art House's co-founders, Steven Peterman, and Shane Zucker, and a small team of artists and organizers keep everything running from the HQ in Brooklyn, NY.

The Sketchbook must be ready to post by January 15th, 2013!!! You can still join if you're fast! Check The 2013 Sketchbook project!

I was pretty excited about custom wall decals! This is a relatively new Zazzle product. I had a hard time creating the designs for it especially Santa Claus because I did not find guidelines for it. 
This postage is just a sample of some of my customized wall decals. Reusable wall decals can be a good solution for Christmas decoration. Sure it can brighten up any room!
Custom wall decals are printed with premium eco-solvent inks on high-quality fabric paper. Made to be moved, each wall decal can be peeled and repeeled up to one hundred times without damaging the decal or walls. No glue, no frames, no pain, so Zazzle says. Brilliant high-resolution printing on self-adhesive fabric paper. No wall damage or sticky residue. I am going to love it!

Awesome Pillows, the new Laptop Bags, Iphone 5 Cases and more!


Hello again!

Since I started at Zazzle I allways felt that I was part of a community. Joining this Group on Facebook provided me a new way of experience what that means. Every week I get new products to share from the Group. And I provide some of my own so the Group can promote it also. Yesterday I showed products from the Christmas/Holiday list. These new products are from another list - everyweek I'll be doing the same. It's easy and fun! I am also enjoying the contact with these new Zazzlers.

I still am fascinated by the PILLOWS! Touchably soft and always cool on the other side, Zazzle custom pillows are made of 100% grade A woven cotton that’s as durable as it is cuddlable. All pillow covers are 100% machine washable.

For now I am showing you four beautiful PILLOWS from Diane Clancy, Zandiepants and Julia Aguiar. Maybe more members add new ones.

There's also one of the new Zazzle Laptop bags!It's a customizable Rickshaw Commuter 2.0 laptop bag. Made to be ultra-durable and with space for everything, you can take a 15" laptop, iPad, iPhone, notebook, and so much more in this bag and still have room for your after-work gym clothes.

I hope you like this week´s Affiliate Junction Group Promotion!

Wonder for Each Day - this wonderful close-up of the Snowy Owl is a photograph taken in Massachusetts (US) by a lifetime birder. You can see this owl in his habitat checking out the world.

What Diane Clancy wrote about this product:


Title: Consciousness; Medium: Mixed Media Collage & Digital Collage Consciousness draws you in to contemplate life as it can be. One of the many bubbles in Consciousness contains the faces of two women. These golden faces touch each other and merge, much as we all do in the cosmic composition of the Universe. Their piercing eyes go to the depths of one’s soul. Blue, lemon and emerald scraps of fabric and paper create their hair. The double face comes from Anticipation, one of my fabric, paint and paper collages. Luscious bubbles of amber, orange, lime and golden yellow, float effortlessly over a magnificent amber, fern, spring green and jade ocean. The sky is creamy greens, pear and chartreuse with streaks of goldenrod and saffron. This wonderful goddess Bubblescape is quite a conversation piece. Great awareness is necessary as we dance our way through life, loving and supporting each other and the earth. Consciousness celebrates that realization. You may experience peace, serenity and healing as you look at my work. Bring this oasis into your home for yourself and to share with others. This imaginative vision can be yours - whether next to your computer on a mug, plate, as a shirt, tie, stamps, totes or tiles, computer mouse or on your living room wall.

What Barb Radisavljevic wrote about this product:

Small Bird in Bare Tree in Winter One thing about leafless trees in winter is that birds are easier to see a photograph clearly. I don't know the name of this bird. If you do, please let me know in the comments. If you want to add text, you can do it easily if you click on customize to open the editing window.

Portuguese music Vamos lá! - Come on!




It has been some time since I shared some Portuguese music on this blog. It feels the right moment as I am so tired I could fall asleep this precise moment! We had Winter Hour change last weekend and I am still not feeling comfortable with it! It's 02:26 but I feel like it's 03:26 already or more. So this is what I think - let's go sleep! No more hard work!

...But before let's enjoy this song. It's from a Portuguese TMN commercial. TMN is one of our mobile communications operators.The purpose of this 2012 campaign of TMN company is to give voice to those who, despite adversity, believe that they can achieve their goals. This communication campaign's theme is "Portugal is calling. Come on! "



This music was created by Somsom project. Somsom project is Fred and João Barbosa (aka J-Wow/Lil’John). They are producers to same big music Portuguese names like Orelha Negra or Sam The Kid. And they are in a popular group called Buraka Som Sistema.
The singer in the videos is Mel do Monte, lead singer of Miúda, another new band on the block.
