My next Canvas will be..........

All about her..... I am going to do a canvas all about Audrey Hepburn circa Breakfast at Tiffany's.
I am doing the canva totally in black and white with a splash of Tiffany Eggshell Blue, Pearls and Diamonds. So, stay tuned..... the canvas will be coming by the end of September or this weekend depends on when I get back from Charleston South Carolina. I am going to try and talk Big Daddy into visiting some antique shops so that I can find some cool old vintage items to add to this canvas.
I have always loved the movie Breakfast at Tiffanys and any old movie that she was in. Sadly I have only see the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's once and I really don't remember anything.
I'll never forget one night BD and I were looking online for ideas for Christmas and found Tiffany's website. OH MY GOSH BD could buy me five diamonds for the price of just one Tiffany Diamond. Heck I would just be happy with a Tiffany blue box to add to my canvas. Anyone have one that would want to sell???lol




This is one canvas I really am looking forward to working on. This is going to be so much fun. I mean just look at how beautiful she was......
And of course with the Tiffany Blue I will have to add just a splash of red
Hummmmm okay so I won't be using the smoking one in the canvas at least I don't think I will
This one oh yes.....

So, please stay tuned for Breakfast at Tiffany's

It's All About Me ATC

I got the paper from http://www.youratcstore.com/ as well as the silver crowns and the atc clear mailers. The image is a found image off of the internet. I used some of those baubles I hand dyed the other day as well as some 3d hearts. The saying is from http://www.lisasalteredart.com/ her saying sheet
the back is a stamp from http://www.catslifepress.com/
now my atc is sealed and ready for a stamp to mail out
oh my gosh I need a manicure I just clicked on the pictures and my poor nails are in bad shape. Guess that is what I get for chewing on my nails and cuticles. Also her lipstick is a little smudged...next time I will use a smaller point.... oh well sometimes our lips do smudge a little right???

Nestabilities

WOO HOO look here, I got this entire set with shipping for only 50 bucks....email me if you want to know where or leave me a message and I will get back to you

New order from the ATC store

So, I have found that I really really really like shopping at http://www.yourATCstore.com/ you can find some really cool stuff to use on your atc's. I even found some mini Tim Holtz Grungeboard to use.

Woo Hoo the mother load from Toni

Just look at all these goodies from Toni, when she purges I get lucky..lol
So purge away Sis, I can always use your leftovers. I love all this fun stuff. Tons of fun stuff to use with poly clay... fun ephemera I am so excited

Okay so I am about to save you hundreds of dollars

here you have them and what they look like. They are by the flower stuff on an endcap and only $.79 cents a bag. woo hoo

I dyed these yes you heard me I dyed these and saved a ton of money. When you purchase these baubles, skittles, dew drops etc whatever you want to call them you will spend about 5 bucks for just a small amount. I went to Michael's and purchased a big bag of these little beads that you use to fill in vases with. I then put them into ziplock bags and added some Tim Holtz Alcohol ink and viola there you have it..... colored dew drops or baubles.




Have you ever seen such a beautiful deep Navy in a dew drop or a bella bauble? Nope neither have I
Look at that red........ I used Red Pepper for the coloring

Update on Copic Markers

We have even a better price that what we thought. I emailed Carpe Diem and asked what our best price would be if we placed a combined order. Are you ready for this?????? $3.56 each for the full size marker not the smaller size ciao. So, here is how it works..... go here http://www.carpediemstore.com/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=598
and choose your colors then email me with the colors you have chosen. Once everyone has chosen their colors and we know how many we are getting I will send you a paypal invoice. You will then send me your paypal money and I will place the entire order. I just add a buck or two to cover postage from my house to yours for those of you that know me well, you can ask anyone on the right hand blogger roll call what I am like. Laurel and Kariberry went in on our last order and some other folks. I make NO money on the deal as a matter of fact I usally lose around ten bucks on the outbound shipping but that is FINE with me as I just do this for my friends and blogging friends.
Now Rick and I will be in Canada from September 10 through September 28th so I will try and get this order together before we leave and have it back to me before we leave and sent out to you before we leave. THat is a lofty goal but I will give it my best shot.

48

You know 30 years ago I was so excited about turning 18 on the 4th of August. I moved out of my mother's house that night after having a slice of cake. My high school girl friend Jana Cole and I moved into a studio apartment. Our rent was $75.00 a month and we split that. Now 30 years later looking at 48 I wonder where my last 30 years have gone?
And where the next 30 years will take me..... I am hoping that the next 30 years will be
- full of life with my darling husband Rick
- a life full of Patience and understanding
- a life full of love and never hate
- a life in Canada or somewhere close
- a life of no regrets

so here is to the next 30 and the last 48!
Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!!!!!!

Present time..... one week to comment and the winner will win Stamps of course.

Sandra Evertson

Oh my gosh, I have been so lucky to have Sandra comment not once but four times on my blog. If you don't know who she is go here http://sandraevertson.blogspot.com/
she has her own line of rubber stamps does major things for stampington and is just a fantastic artist. I have several of her stamps and could always use more. She has this new line where you have parts of bodies to make awesome characters. Oh so onto what I was going to say. I am so excited that Sandra finds my art cool..lol
I appreciate everyone's comments and love it that everyone likes my work. But when you have an idol like Sandra post......... well she is almost like Paula Deen... you know?????? and well ya'll know how I love my Paula.

It is all over

Well, we are back and he did fantastic. Took eight stitches and a row of whip stitches to close the area that they took. You can see where it is missing and you can see the stitches but he is doing well. Tucked him into bed and gave him a ton of pain pills and he is doing okay. he actually was able to eat some mashed potatoes and gravy as well as some butter noodles. It was sort of funny because as he was coming out of the anesthesia he was just a talking and hiccupping at the same time. Side effects I guess. Bless his heart he was so sweet and sad at the same time.

well, back to baby my baby
thanks for everyones prayers and well wishes. Now let's pray that the tests come back that they got everything!!!!!!!! If they got it all that means they won't have to take half of his tongue and he will not have to go through with radiation. He says he feels that they did and he just feels good about it... I pray he is right....


So, for all the smokers out there.................... Stop now!!!! You don't want to find yourself in his place. He has stopped thank god and has done so fantastic for almost two months. This time I know he can do it....

Today is the day

At 2p.m. Big Daddy will be having major surgery. They will be removing part of his tongue today to hopefully prevent Tongue Cancer. Yes, you read right.... TONGUE CANCER!!!!
We are both scared to death. I just ask that if you have a moment to say a pray for BD that the results will be good. The first section they took out the results were not good. We are hoping they get everything this time.
Thanks all

A Self Portrait

In getting with the Halloween spirit I thought I would do a self portrait. I looked in the mirror and this is what I saw. Well, in my mind this is what I saw. Enjoy

Sunday

This weekend was my first weekend off in two months from work. I spent it doing absolutely nothing but watching t.v. and doing some art. I need this weekend so bad I never realized just how exhausted I was until I could relax for a minute. Back to the grind stone tomorrow and not another weekend off until the end of August. But in September it will be two weeks of no t.v., no traffic, no phone calls, just a cabin: a boat: the man I love and water. Canada it will not be soon enough until we get there.

Later today or Thursday

A brand new canvas is coming. This one is Halloween themed I hope you like her so stay tuned oh and not one vintage piece on it anywhere. lol

Thought for today

You know I am so lucky to have the friends and family that I have
My wonderful husband Big Daddy who took an entire day out of his hectic schedule to make me an amazing card for our anniversary. Who loves me unconditionally and I love him with every breath I have in my body.
My sister Toni who really isn't my blood sister but has turned out to be the closest thing to a sister I have ever had. There are no games she doesn't try to out do me or one up me like my real sister. She also loves me undonditionally and puts up with my flaws just like Big Daddy
Then there are my online friends that I have made
Erica who made me an amazing skinny veronica she just made my day
Carolina, Jane, Jeri, Kari,Laurel, Carla, Carla , and everyone at AAWA and all my other blogging friends. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my friend for sharing my passion for the love of art and for understanding that there are times when even five minutes to jump on here and say hi is few and far between.
So, thank you thank you thank you thank you.
I love you all and appreciate you so very much
