Next month is my birthday month and I always make a big fuss about my birthday—even though there’s more candles on my cake than ever.
I am even letting you guys in on the fun birthday stuff by offering an awesome ad special called the
There are no strings attached, you can really pay whatever you want for a banner ad for the month of June. There are only a limited # of spots available though.
So, sign up HERE or email me at jen@indiefixx.com to reserve your spot before they are all snapped up.
This special is open to all and is my way of offering advertising to folks who may not have a very large ad budget and for those who haven’t yet given Indie Fixx a try yet. Please do pay what is appropriate to your budget.
The Sketchbook Project 2013 is gearing up and there is a call out to creative folks to sign up to participate. In case you aren’t aware, The Sketchbook Project is a traveling library of artists’ books. When you sign up a blank sketchbook is sent to you and it’s your job to fill its pages. Once you do that, you mail it back and then it goes out on tour across the country with everyone else’s sketchbooks and ends up back at the Brooklyn Art Library for archiving.
I’ve been meaning to do this every since its inception…maybe this will be the year that I finally stop putting it off.

It’s May Day today and that means it’s time for a new calendar. I’m using this one from Going Home to Roost. What about you?
May Day is an ancient spring holiday celebrated in the northern hemisphere. It has its roots as a celebration of the beginning of the farming season and is celebrated in a variety of ways depending on location and culture.
In my neck of the woods, May Day is celebrated with a May Pole Dance and with a colonial celebration to commemorate our colonial history on the 1st Saturday in May. It’s called Old Dover Days and I’ve been attending since I was about 5-years-old. I’ve been taking my daughter since she was born, and even though she’s 20 now we still make a point of attending every year, if possible.
With May Day fast approaching, I thought I’d share some of these historical May Pole dance images from flickr.

I am looking for a few regular guest bloggers on Indie Fixx to share a weekly or bi-monthly column. I like to have periodic guest bloggers to offer different voices on the blog besides just my own. Topics of interest include: crafty tutorials, fashion, gardening, green living, food & recipes, indie biz topics, organizing, zen and the art of juggling life, among others.
Have an interest or area of expertise and like to write? Email to apply: jen@indiefixx.com. Tell me a little about yourself, send along some writing samples & share your ideas for a column. Applicants should be prepared to commit for at least a 3 month period. In exchange, all guest bloggers will receive a byline, a blurb on the about page as well as the exposure and experience.
Read me over at Vintage Fashion London, my latest guest blogging job, writing about Feminist Trailblazer Mad Men’s Peggy Olsen & How to Get Her Look. I will be writing once a week over at Vintage Fashion London and will be sharing more Mad Men posts there as well.
