I should have mentioned this last week, but I am offering FREE shipping on all items in the shop (even multiple items) until December 31st! I might even extend it! Hoo doggies!

And stay tuned next year for some new items… ooooo… aaahhhh…

Happy Holidays, my lovelies!

While I am trying to keep this blog strictly Biggie-related, I just have to post something about my friend, Carrie Schneider. You see, she is an amazing artist (my other post about her is here), and has her latest work for viewing at the MCA in Chicago. She is the featured artist for this month’s 12 x 12 exhibition!

Read a bit here. Then go!!
