Creepy Cool!

This is my second post of the day.  Scroll down to see Alcoholic.

So after missing the last two challenges over at The Burtonesque Dolls, I jumped back in with a REALLY fun challenge!  So this week's challenge is to create an original project inspired by or featuring Pee Wee's Big Adventure.   This one was SOOOO up my alley!!!  So, it has been a while since I've seen Pee Wee's Big Adventure, but there were two things that INSTANTLY came to mind when I read the title of this challenge:  1) "I know you are, but what am I?"  2) Color, color and more color!  I also VAGUELY remembered the design on Pee Wee's bike, so I had to double check before committing entirely to this totally crazy project.  Yep, I gotta say I love it!  To see what the other Dolls turned out for this incredible challenge, and to get the deets to enter this week's challenge, click HERE.

That's it for this quick post.  I'll have to make up for it later this week.  Thanx so much for stopping by!

OMGosh.. you guys are sooo great! Gabbi, that rubber stamp is from Stampotique and it's called Karin. One of my favorite stamps. I've stamped it quite a bit with a "SMILE" sentiment that I have.... freakin hilarious!!!

Past 7 Days....

The BEST Copic Storage

**** HUGE HALLOWEEN GIVE AWAY... CLICK HERE !!!!**** Ok, so I've done posts in the past about various Copic storage solutions, but I was given THE MOTHER of all storage ideas by my friends Jennie Black and Krista Koenig!!!   Let me share with you the construction of the storage box and then I'll finish this off with the BRILLIANT solution my husband came up with.... cuz I married a GENIUS!!! What you'll need to create the AWESOME storage box pictured here is: 1 Double Deep Art Bin 1 plastic grid for ceiling lighting (found at your local home improvement store) 1 half inch thick wooden square dowel (also found at your local home improvement store) Dimensional adhesive squares Wire cutters or sheers Screws with corresponding drill bit Drill So I first cut the ceiling grid down to 19 squares by 19 squares using my wire cutters.   You will need two 19 x 19 sections of grid material.   The wire cutters went through the plastic material of the grid like butter and I

The Old Clunker

A few years back I received a Creative Zen Micro Photo for Christmas. It was wonderful! The fact that I could finally carry around all my music in a super small (or I thought at the time)2.25" x 3.5" music player was sheer freedom from carrying around that old, large, portable cd player and I won't even go into the tons of music cds that also had to go along for the ride. Ok... so I'll mention them briefly, hahahahaha! And I was also surprised by how much lighter this music player was. At 5.5 oz., wearing it fashionably on an armstrap to the gym put me in the leagues with the top fitness buffs. Then something shifted... I was no longer hip, or in, or cool anymore. Suddenly everything shrunk and my music player was now a gigantic dinosaur! What the heck?!? Now everyone was sporting music players that were as big as the face of a watch and were a million times lighter than mine. All of a sudden I was back in the 7th grade trying to convince my mom to buy me the latest

My Adventure Into Copics

I FINALLY placed my first order for Copic markers. I have been OBSESSED with these markers since last year. I have researched compatible stamping inks, papers and tools. I've researched project colors and popular artists who use Copics (check out anime). I have read blog after blog with a common vein running through each in the comments: what colors are the best for beginners? While one blogger nailed the answer with, "It depends on what you will be coloring," I decided that I'd share where I started, what colors I started with and why. I plan on mastering this Copic thing and sharing the journey with all of you. If anyone has Copic resources they'd be willing to share, PULEEZE email me at fittertwit@yahoo.com . So here we go! I started with specific color families and a budget of $150. After pricing at Oozak.com (free shipping with $50+ order), Dick Blick's , CarpeDiem.com and Joann's, I finally decided on CarpeDiem.com. Honestly, I have a 50% off coupo
