Ha, I heard a 50 Cent song the other day. That rewinds me five years. That "In Da Club" song was big about around my 21st birthday ... and since, well, I was into the barcardi back then, it was a temporary theme song. I can't believe I'm turning 26 in almost 24 hours! Where have the years gone? I'm the happiest I've ever been though, so I'm very ( Read more... )

I should have seen it coming - so many of you are having such bad luck! The steering wheel of my car has been shaking randomly for at least a month now. And then last week the whole car shuddered a few times when pulling into parking spaces. Fearing that my wheels would fall off, I took it to a Firestone garage and got it inspected yesterday. My ( Read more... )

So what are you doing New Year's Eve? :D I'm heading over to Justin's as soon as he gets off work, and then off we'll go to his parent's party. It should be a lovely, relatively low-key night. This is the first new year's I'll have a boyfriend ... and the first time for a new year's kiss. Am I too much of a nerd to be excited about that? I just ( Read more... )

Is it bad that sometimes I hear music no one else hears? But oh dear, no, not like Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, don't worry. I went to see it last night with Justin and a coworker. Wow, was it dark. I had never read the play - I certainly didn't know to expect that. The movie had lovely aspects, though ... it was Tim Burton's, of ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope all of you are having as lovely a day as I ( Read more... )

I have new artwork, finally! And it's an ACEO, only my second ever. She only took me a couple weeks, too - I had to make today's deadline for Fantasy Artists of Etsy Street Team's Snowflake Fantasy contest. I have the original listed on etsy now, and soon I'll have her as an ornament, too.

Wow, I've been busy. MyFairyBabies from FAE inquired about ornaments last week and inspired me to make some featuring my artwork. I've made fourteen already. And what's more exciting, since I've started listing them on Saturday, I've sold four, three of them of Peridot, my August birthstone dragon -

I've just joined a wonderful street team - Fantasy Artists of Etsy. And for those unlucky enough not to know about etsy yet, it is "your place to buy and sell all things handmade." Seriously, there are so many talented people there, it's addicting. It's a great place to look for unique holiday gifts, too. In fact, FAE has a Christmas exhibition you ( Read more... )

I saw the Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D last night and it was amazing! Objects didn't really jump out of the screen; it was more like they pulled you in. The details and texture of the clay was so intricate. I've seen Nightmare so many times, but seeing it in 3D and on the big screen made me notice background scenery I'd never paid attention to ( Read more... )
