Glitter in the air

It's Friday. You know what that MEANS...GLITTER.

I also made a  VINE  to capture the nail biting action;oP

I thought I'd try some lettering today. I started the background wet and dropped in the color. It's so fun to watch it mix in with the other colors. After that, I let it completely dry before doing the lettering and stars. I only used ink to sign my name, so it REALLY took a lot of patience=0)

You can see the process on vine.

KISS YOUR PEEPS.

My other job....

X-I think I'm going to throw up!!!

Me-Go to the bathroom and I'll get a towel....................

Dreaming on water finished

Hope you all had a fun weekend.

We were up in Pasadena visiting family over the St. Patrick's Day celebration. We had a super fun time, but I'm back and super excited about class this evening. Here is my girl all glittered up!

Hope you like her. I'm really enjoying looking at her skirt.

HAPPY MONDAY.

What a difference a pencil makes

In my world...a new pencil can make my day.

I finally just got tired of sharpening my normal pencils all day long, so I thought I may need to get a mechanical pencil. I didn't think it would make me so happy, but I REALLY love it. The picture above is with my usual pencil and the one below is of the new pencil. I seriously thought I'd hate it, because I use a medium pen to write. I always feel like a fine tip is like nails on a chalk board. I have such a hard time using a calligraphy pen without grinding my teeth. This is TOTALLY different. Super love my Koh-i-noor Hardtmuth mechanical pencil. 

Do you notice a difference?

My other job....

X-I don't want to take that medicine. It's making me sad.

Me-You haven't even tried it. It's not suppose to taste like candy, but you still have to take it.

X-I'm gonna die.

Me-Not really. You will just feel better.

X-I'm gonna die.

Me-You still have to take it...sorry.

X-I'm gonna die.

Me-I really need to start making dinner. Please just drink it. Here's some water to wash it down.

X-I'm gonna die and I have one final thing to say to you.............................. CIAO BELLA.

Kiss your peeps!

SHE WHO LEAVES A TRAIL OF GLITTER IS NEVER FORGOTTEN.

Paper fun

Are you all ready?

We have been doing a lot of fun stuff at home, but no gift shopping!

I will have to hit the stores soon...that's all I can say about that. 

Now back to the fun part=0)

We have a ton of chocolate gold coins and no where to store them besides our tummies. We figured it would be fun to tuck some in some paper stockings and then hang them on the tree. Or...you can put them on top of gifts. Either way...hey...they got chocolate/goodies inside them.

Lets start.

We have some standard colored paper and we used this whole punch, so we can stitch it together.

Now we had to pick out our yarn colors. We used two strands.

We just tied a little knot on both ends and started running it through.

Keep it going....

Just tie knots on the back side when you finish with all the yarn.

Next we used glitter foam tape. We found this at the craft store. 

Make whatever design you want on the front side.

Now we are going to decorate the top of the stocking with paper. This is just standard paper you stuff in gift bags. Cut it into small squares.

Now just use a pencil and put the paper on top of the eraser.

Wrap it all around the pencil to shape it.

Put a little craft glue on it.

Turn the pencil over and stick it on the paper stocking. 

Voila! Now you can make as many rows as you want.

There ya go. 

They are ready for goodies.

Kiss you peeps.

My other job....

X-I can't wait to be on vacation.

Me-You're gonna be ALL mine for two weeks. GULP!!!

X-Why do you always do the GULP part?

Me-It just sounds funny and I'm trying to make you laugh. Okay...I'll stop doing the GULP!

X-Do whatever your heart tells you.

Me-GULP!!!

X-UGH.

PHewwwww

So happy she didn't get voted off X-factor.
