Code Blue

Alright. My eyes are burning. It's sunny outside, yet it is hailing. The daffodils and trees are blooming. These things can mean only one thing in Oregon: Spring is quickly approaching! And darned if that doesn't make me gaze longingly into my closet and wish for springy clothes (and warm weather to wear them in). But it's SO cold still. Tonight it is even attempting to snow! CRAZY!!

But thankfully I found this fun little "game" at Macy's.com. It's called the Macy's Fashion Director Daily Fashion Challenge Contest (how's that for a mouthful?). It lets you pick your outfits right down to the fragrance you'd wear with it. How cool is that? It has curbed my urge to shop (for now), and that is fine with me, because saving money is high on the To-Do list these days.  However, should you find it within yourself the goodness to help me win a little shopping spree, I won't stop you. In fact, by all means, PLEASE do!  I'll even be so kind as to provide you with a direct link to my handpicked outfit so that you can vote for it. 

I love this outfit - check it out!"
The daily challenge was to choose an outfit that I would wear on a blind date. And I totally would too! Now all I need is a date!! I titled it "Code Blue".  Partly for the fabulous blue cascading cardigan, and partly for the fragrance Armani Code. But upon further reflection, I think the name suits a blind date. It could go one of two ways: either your heart stops because your date is a drop-dead hottie; OR, your date is so horrific that you'll need electric shock therapy to recover from the ordeal.

But you can be sure of one thing: if you vote for my outfit, and I win, I promise to buy you something. So what are you waiting for? Go Vote!!

Love Ya! Thanks!!! :)

This Ain't Your Grandma's Craft Bazaar

Back in December...This was BIG!

It's the Super Colossal Crafty Wonderland Holiday Sale! And yes, they mean colossal.

I had been anticipating this event for months now. I made sure to clear my calendar for that day. I was even planning on volunteering to help out until I came down with a very awful cold (which is still lingering, sniff, sniff). On the advice of my sister (God bless her) I bowed out of that role, and opted to merely attend. I was not about to let a few sneezes and sniffles keep me from this mecca of handcrafted goodness! So I mustered up every ounce of energy I had left in me, took the maximum dosages of dayquil, stuffed my pockets full of kleenex, pulled on my boots and headed out with my sister for a day full of unique and adorable craft shopping.

I Think I Sense a Theme Here...

It's Spring!!! Finally, winter is over, if only the cold and the rain would go away...but while I've been dreaming of warmer days to come, I guess my paintings have followed that theme too. These are just a few of what I've been working on for the last three months. And coming up next month (I'm so excited!) I get to display them in public!!! Dare I say an Art Show? I will keep you updated with more info on a First Thursday event, so all my friends and family can join me to celebrate! Cheers for now! (Enjoy this mini show).
