Happy New Years

The end is nigh! At least for 2010. I have lots of hopes and plans for Noadi's Art heading into 2011. To celebrate the end of 2010 I'm giving away a free tentacle charm with every purchase through New Years.

Starting to get things ramped up for Valentines Day too. Going to have some pretty pink cephalopods on the way along with more of the new Tentacle Bracelets.

In more personal news this is the first year in quite a while I'll be celebrating Valentines Day with a special someone. I'm with an absolutely fantastic guy that I love dearly and Valentines Day will mark just about 10 months we've been a couple (we started out as just friends and it grew from there).

Operation Bad Foot

From now through midnight Christmas Day use the coupon code BADFOOT in my Etsy shop to get 15% off any order. In case you missed my previous blog post I'm running this special to try to pay off the medical bills I incurred after injuring my foot. It's too late now to order in time for a Christmas arrival but plenty of time to get yourself a little something special for the New Year.

Last Call for Christmas and a Sale

The USPS deadline for 1st class mail for Christmas is Dec. 20. If you want to order a gift you only have until midnight Sunday Dec. 19 to order. I'll be up later than that packing orders but I can't make any promises how late so if you place an order after midnight I may not get it in time to ship on Monday.

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook you probably know that back in September I fell and tore the tendons and a piece of bone loose in my foot and I don't have health insurance. I was very lucky and a program at the local hospital is going to cover my emergency room visit but I still have some fairly substantial bills from the orthopedist and for the walking cast I needed. I've had a pretty good holiday season so far but I would like to be able to pay off the medical bills by the end of the year and I can't with what I've made so far this month. So to try and make up the difference I'm going to be offering a special coupon code next week for all of you shopping for yourself, a late X-mas gift, or for the New Year. This is very last minute so I haven't decided on all the details yet so keep an eye on this blog or Twitter for details as I have them.

Thankfully my foot no longer looks like this.

Finished this custom Perma-Pet last week and it's now on it's way to it's new home.
