Vamp

I am a fan of most things vampire. I say "most" because I prefer this kind of vampire:




or this kind of vampire:



Or even this kind of vampire:




This kind of vampire makes me throw up a little. (Sorry, but vampires shouldn't "sparkle".)




Sure, I think vampires can be sexy and scary at the same time, like this show (it was awesome but canceled too early):



but mostly I think scary and creepy is best.







For years I have have joked around and said that I'm half vampire. I burn badly in sunlight, I'm a total "night owl", I'm allergic to garlic (Seriously. It sucks. Pun intended.) I don't like to cross water... well, okay, that's only kind of true.



Anyway, for my birthday, my dad got me a DNA test. Being adopted, we weren't really sure what kind of mutt I am. I got it back yesterday. And now we know:








Although I'm about as scary and creepy as this guy:

Moo

Not this kind of moo.



This kind!

If you haven't ever seen a Moo Card, go check out their site.

I have been using their mini cards for a couple years now. I love them. (They also do regular sized cards as well as postcards and greeting cards.) They are expecially great for artists and photographers because you can use your own art or pictures. Or, if you are not feeling particularly creative you can pick from their list of designers. They are also extremely affordable - $19.99 for a 100 pack of mini's, or $21.99 for 50 regular sized cards.

Even if you don't run a business of your own, they are fun cards to have as "calling cards"; you can include your name, phone number, Facebook page, Twitter handle, blog address or whatever!

I just got a new order in the mail, and this time around included some of my jewelry pictures. Here's a few:





I really like the mini cards because there is still room enough for great images and all your info, but they are smaller and kind of unusual for a business card, which I think helps people remember them.

There are also several sellers on Etsy that make great little card holders, too. I have one from DearSukie, but there are several others like LMCreation and oskarmycat to name a few.

Now for the important part:
