Lily's Leavin'

I'm taking some much needed and long overdue leave time. I've been struggling with personal health issues (4 surgical procedures in just over 2 months, and another that still needs to be scheduled) and I need to take some recovery time.

I will be back Oct 6. If you need anything in the mean time, please contact one of my customer service staff.

Store Manager - Katoria Stevenson
Customer Service Reps - Always Loveless, Laurelrose Anthony, Alyssa Gould, Sinnamon Carter, Elspeth Jewell


I will handle everything they aren't able to take care of upon my return. If you have a failed delivery, please contact Katoria Stevenson. She has the power to verify your transactions and resend items to you.

Lots of love,
Lily

Out t' sea

This mornin', I woke up t' "Mommy, Kenny spilled th' box o' cat poop." Some days be better spent in bunk. Wishin' ye could ship th' rugrats ou' t' sea. Days like today, 'tis actually encouraged!

Good thin' 'tis International Talk Like a Sea dog Tide!

Thar`s a fun wee seafarin' hearty name quiz here if ye want t' find ou' yer seafarin' hearty name. I stole 't from Black Ethel Kidd, better known as Shelly Toonie o' Moonshine.

Be havin' fun wi' 't! An' share yer seafarin' hearty names!

Here`s me buccanneer name.

My pirate name is:

Captain Bess Vane

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that's okay, because it's much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr!

What's your favorite color? And Inventory loss/issues - Customer Service related

I need your input! If you have a few minutes, please stop by and answer the very brief questionnaire. There are a total of three questions, the most important being:

What is the one single Calla color you can't live without?

I've got something I'm thinking about doing, but in order to do it I'm going to have to narrow down the color selections. So I really need your input on this!

There's also a small gift for you at the end of the survey as a thank you for stopping in long enough to give me your opinions.

Depending on how the survey continues to go (there's been some really surprising choices so far!) I'll hopefully be letting you guys in on more of the details sometime this weekend or early next week.

And aside from that, if you've sent me a note card in the past few weeks and I have not responded to you, please resend it! I've had some major inventory issues, so bad that LL had to run some "fixing scripts" on my inventory and restore me. They said "There was some corruption in it, which now has been fixed." Which I've never heard of before, but at least they've fixed it! But in the mess it looks like I've lost some things. So please just drop those to me again and I will do my best to get everything dealt with as quickly as possible.

Thanks so much guys and dolls! Have a beautiful day!

Awesome FREE Image Editor - Pixlr

My husband sent me a link this morning that was too good not to share, so he gets full credit on this one.

Pixlr

It's a free online image editor, that is by far one of the best I've ever seen. There's nothing to download, nothing to register for. You upload your image to the browser, edit it in the application (found here: Pixlr editor) and save the finished image to your hard drive.

It's got a super easy interface, and anyone familiar with PS or PSP (and probably gimp) will recognize the set up. You can cut and paste from multiple images, and can open several at a time to work with. It has filters and adjustments and all kinds of good stuff you'd never expect from a FREE online editor.

It's probably not great for making clothes and whatnot but it's definitely good for tons of other things. That said, they also take feature requests! So if you want it to do something that it doesn't, you can send them an email. The next release according to the image on their blog has a text tool! They're working on a red-eye reduction tool, and a patch tool.

The blog seems really open to communication and feedback, so I highly recommend having a gander there if it's something you'd like to learn more about.

Happy editing!
