Hello Everyone,

Its been a month since I last wrote a journal entry and as promised I would eventually do, here is my latest entry, all shiny and new.(Hey I rhymed!)

Last blog I mentioned a possible last minute table at the Bellerose Anime Festival... I did manage to grab a table and despite my worries, did very well. I will add the festival to my yearly convention list and look forward to attending again next year

My shop is now being stocked up with items for christmas and that means more wonderous Steampunk items and Lolita Accessories.Masks as always are taken as commissions and are also posted randomly for instant purchase. See my mask folder here on DA to view my mask making experience.

Since I do accept whole cosplay accessory commissions,I do have solid rates for whole sets which end up saving the interested party up to $250 **depending on the order size!!** Feel free to message me about how it works and lets see what we can make!

Christmas...ah the joy of a cold wind,the dropping tempterature and the...lack of snow is making this an ideal winter for the fashionista on everyones list. Need something for that girly-girl friend, the practical one or the Man in your life? Visit my shop ,Attic Raiders to see if theres something of interest and if not, keep checking back, theres always something new poping up out of dark corners.

Yes, Attic Raiders is a shop that ships internationally!!!Items will be gift wrapped automatically now with Christmas around the corner for no extra fees.

This years convention tour is over and will resume March 2010. For a list of conventions in the new year, that will be posted at a later date....maybe January 2010.

Since there isn't much else to report about, blog entries will be posted once a month now instead of every 2 weeks.I trust everyone had an awesome Halloween season this year and that everyones costumes turned out great. I dressed up a friend of mine to enter a few Steampunk accessory sets into a variety of parties he attended,3 in total. Every set won first place in the costume contest for their respective parties.I am incredibly pleased with the results! (^.^)I will try to post photos in the Costume Folder if I can get them to show everyone my stuff in action!

I, myself entered an International Steampunk Photo Contest hosted by Tor Publishing Company and placed fourth as Best Honorable Mention.Heres the link to check out my entry and the winners:

So thats all folks, until next month for the new blog post, I hope everyone is getting a early head start for the Christmas shopping and that all goes smoothly for ya.

Cheers:
