Hello Everyhone! You'll gather by my blog that I am a big Tim fan, and wanted to share this pocket watch that I created for the holidays.  It's rather sweet, and I love anything vintage.  Enjoy!

Day 5

Yes.  I am behind again.  But, as they say (who ever they are):  better to be late than no to be.  So, here is my project for this day.  Paintshop Pro and one of my favorite digital stamps Angelica Prays.  She is digitally colored in Paintshop Pro.

Okay.  Now I am caught up, and hoping to stay that way.  Give me Graphic 45 paper and I am in heaven.  Check out my advent box...loved making it...

Trick or Treaters were cute

Did ya have many Trick or Treaters last night?  We had three large bowls of tootsie rolls worth...cutest ones were a cockroach and a fireman.  Both little boys from the neighborhood about 2-3 years old.  Bill asked the one little guy "Oooo, what are you?"  And was answered rather matter of factly - "A Cockroach!"  LOL!  The door greater sat patiently on her stoop as each one of the kids grabbed a handful of tootsie rolls...she was, however, in costume.  A leopard, this year.  Hope you enjoy Miss Petunia and her "costume"...

From The Bottom of My Skinny Little Ass!

Back from the cruise

Had a wonderful time...met lots of ladies.  Some I loved, some I liked, and some I would rather not say.  BUT...all in all, it was fab.  The weather was beautiful with no storms - yay!! The projects were fun, not finished with one of mine just yet, but working on it.   Hard to get back in the swing of things...card class tonight at Bayfront.  Here's a pic of the one of the snorkeling dives I was on.  So much fun...

HAHA Not that one...this one...

Steampunk Clock

I love how this clock turned out. Graphic 45 papers are some of my most favorite. Mix 'em up with Tim Stuff, and it's a winner everytime.

Tim Goes Digital (sorta)

OMG...I love the All Things Tim Yahoo group...we're having a 4x6 page swap "A Haunting We Will Go"...all my Tim Stuff is digital now, (phew...did that take a bit of doing) and my page design is hybrid...can't wait to share the finished page, but in the meantime, here's the digital portion of the page.  Love to hear what you have to say!!

Love the new digital designs at Sugar Nellie Stamps

These digital beauties are fabulous for all my Copic Friends. Go get yours (here) and color away. My favorite is hair (this week LOL) and this little girl is so pretty. Try my recipe for your brunette hair coloring: E 17,33,53.  I love how these images look with the Websters Pages papers I am addicted to.  Add a little Martha punch to the side, and you are ready to present this card!  Thanks for looking!

Tim Holtz

Is coming to Whim So Doodle...yippee...I am taking his classes and I cannot wait. In the meantime, if you like to see the future, take a look at the website. www.scrappyhappines.com...This young man is very talented. Tim his one of his idols...His name is Drew Scott. I can't wait till you see his website and watch one of his videos. This person is AMAZING. You know, once a Mom, always a Mom...I did send him an email with a suggestion that he run the spell checker BEFORE he posts...I can see a definite improvement in his blogs. He is so cute. Can you imagine if your son told you all he wanted for Christmas was a Cricut Machine? I for one would love it; but that's because me and my boy have no relationship at all. And that's all for now. Enjoy your visit to Drew's website.

Copic Colorings with Sugar Nellie Digitals

Nothing makes me happier than the perfect digital stamp to color with my copics. I am an addict of all things paper or paper related. This little girl is Grace Standing and is available here. I just loved coloring her. She has an airbrushed background. Enjoy!

Copic Airbrush

Whim So Doodle Copic Advanced Classes are being scheduled. Check out this fabulous Copic Coloring of mine and take special note of the fabulous airbrushing behind the sweet little girls. Watch for me...

WSD BFF Cards

So, this morning I taught my BFF card class at the Whim...fabulous. The ladies really loved the cards and techniques I shared with them today. Can't wait to see Teresa Collins and her class...yippee...

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

HA...did you miss me? I know I have been gone a long time, and really have no reason, just a bunch of excuses. The biggest being that life gets in the way. Saying so long to 2010 was sure easy. Bye Bye. Now that it's 2011 I hope to blog a bit more. Not that anyone comes to my blog, but on the out-chance that someone does come see me, it would be nice if I was at least up to date with the "gossip" of the Greater Saint Petersburg area... Went to Europe again this vacation. October we were in Paris, London and Amsterdam. Loved London. Not much to say about Amsterdam, and Paris...well an old friend once said that Paris is wasted on the Parisians. I now know what she meant. We saw everything we could in Paris. The whole city, as a matter of fact...from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Damn it was cold and windy, but I took pictures along all the sides that were accessible to people. My SO is NOT a height person, so he hung onto the inside wall. To his credit, though, he did venture once by me to see the soccer field all aglow...it was the size of a 4 postage stamp square from way up there. That was it. One look, a quick self-portrait photo of us two, and back to wall hugging he flew.
