About Me

My name is Peppermint.  This is my personal blog, read at your own risk!  Originally it was a place where we shared our adventures in home remodeling, which could best be described as “two monkeys with a hammer”.  Then we ran out of remodeling time (and money) and I diverted all that free time into photography and digital scrapbooking.

Mostly I just show up here and share for no apparent reason.  In the interest of full disclosure, I design digital scrapbooking products under the name One Little Bird, and you’ll find those products plastered all over my blog on a routine basis because mama needs to pay the bills! I do belong to a few creative teams whose products, challenges and contests I periodically feature here. Not because they force me, but because I want to. I try to remember to say “Hey, I’m on this team!” somewhere in my post if I have a relationship with the designer/store – but just in case I forget, there is a list of the people who have “bagged and tagged” me down at the bottom of this post, if you make it that far.

If you buy an item (from another store/designer) featured on my blog and have any complaints, please contact that person directly.  Unless you just want someone to be like “Aww man, that sucks!” and in that case, feel free to send me an email and I’ll let you cry on my shoulder.  I won’t be able to fix anything, though. Unless it’s my product – and even then, I make no guarantees that I’ll be bright enough to fix that either.

Just so you know, unless otherwise noted, I am the “#1 sole super fantastic” legal copyright holder of the material on this blog and it may not be used, reprinted, or published without my written consent. Feel free to link back to my blog whenever your heart desires, but don’t .. you know .. take my stuff and post it as your own.  (Although why anyone would want to do that is beyond me, surely you could write better than this!)

You can also feel free to print any of these pages and use them to line your bird cage, housetrain your puppy, cover up your windows at your new house or degrease your bacon. Although keep in mind that by coming to my site you hold me harmless in the event that something catastrophic happens to you as a result of reading my site.  Like your bird passes out from boredom, your neighbors catch you coming out of the shower naked or someone steals your bacon.

If you post here on my blog (which I encourage you to do! Hi! Write me!) I won’t harvest your information and sell it to telemarketers, or stalk you (unless you’re Vinnie Pearce), or steal your kidneys, or sell you into bondage in a third world country. So if you find yourself on a cargo ship, sailing the high seas with a killer headache and the smell of chloroform fresh in the air – it wasn’t me!  Must have been some other blog you post on.  I can’t be responsible for any other yahoo who’s gullible enough to read my blog, so post personal information at your own risk.

I reserve the right to shut this sucker down, change the focus on it, sell it (anyone want it?), change the terms of use or turn it fluorescent pink if I want to .. because maybe it’s just a fluorescent pink sort of day! They happen.

Why Frick on a Stick?  Because it’s the most web-friendly phrase that comes out of my mouth on most days.  If I named my blog after any of the other phrases I’d probably have to sit through a long lecture from my mother on how I was raised better than that (I wasn’t) and how first impressions are lasting impressions.  Then I’d have to make a finger gun with my right hand, hold it up to my temple, and pull the imaginary trigger.

My teams:

Paislee Press
Leora Sanford

Please feel free to contact me via email with any questions, concerns or shameless flattery. If it’s something bad, though, you can go ahead and take your time – that sort of thing can wait! Haha.
