the creative trio over at J3 productions have done it again! they created something truly delectable by planting a little holiday pop-up site on the intertubes. i guarantee that it will put a sparkly spring in your potentially-already-totally-burnt-out-this-season step.

click here to check it out. it's a playground of fun with music and glitter and kitties and more.

and, there are amazingly fine downloadable gift tags! what's not to love?

and if you are still looking for a last minute gift, why not gift J3's at your leisure zine? it's super unique and will definitely place you on the coolest gift giver list.

thank you J3 productions! here's winkin' at you, kids!

isn't she?

darlings, i meditated today on gifts of holidays past and realized that my jewelry holders get a lot of play. after all, our best baubles and precious gems deserve some swank storage, don't they?
