OKAY!!! THAT DOES IT!!

Sir Tim and I are going to have to have a little chat!  What is UP with this man!!!?  Does he not realize that he is single-handedly destroying marriages, ruining financial positions, causing bankruptcy??????  Does he not GET it????

So, Mr. Brilliance has now decided to expand his fiefdom with even more amazing "must have" products!  So unfair!!  How does one keep up?????  And of course you KNOW we have to have all things Tim!

Uggh!!  Okay, okay, so it's gorgeous!  What can I say???? Gotta have it!

Without further ado...... introducing.....
 
TIM HOLTZ DISTRICT MARKET LINE!!!  Geez!@#$%

JULIE NUTTING!!

"Get comfy, grab a cup of tea and bring out your pencils and paintbrushes!"

That is how the wonderful Julie Nutting starts her book, COLLAGE COUTURE.   Just the first few pages makes you want to invite all your girlfriends over to play in their PJs!  A slumber party!!!

I wrote a while back about Julie's book - COLLAGE COUTURE.

I originally wrote about it on this blog because I fell in love with her work.  I then had the privilege of having Julie stay at my house and teach us her wonderful dolls during Keys 4 Art 2011 and I fell in love with HER!  She is not only wildly talented, but sweet and fun and unfailingly generous.

Well, I got her book today!!!  WOO HOO!!!  I LOVE it!!! It is such an incredible book!  I started reading it thinking I was just going to glance through it today since I am totally and utterly exhausted and find that I can't put it down! 

Not only is the writing friendly and fun, but her instructions are easy to follow and the images are beautiful and, well, I just can't say enough about it.  Not only does she teach you step by step how to do her glamour girls with tons of different girls, but she teaches you how to do these totally adorable shadow boxes and paper dolls!

If you love art - if you love dolls - if, like Julie says, you want to be girly... you MUST have this book!

NEW VIDEOS FROM KELLE BELLE STUDIOS

I received these two videos today and really liked them a lot.  I hope you guys enjoy them as much as I did!  Hope you are all having a wonderful, creative and relaxing Sunday.









Have a great week everyone!!!  Start off Monday with a smile and a nice gesture toward a total stranger.  Your week will only go up from there.

TV Show COMING HOME

I dont watch TV. Never have. Too many things I want to do to waste time sitting in front of a box.

But I LOVE this show. It is about bringing dads back from Iraq or Afghanistan to surprise their kids (and sometimes the wives).

It makes me cry like a baby! Those babies miss their moms and dads something horrible and my heart goes out to them.

You should see it (Sundays at 10:00 pm on Life). Make sure you have Kleenex!

MICHELLE WARD'S CRUSADE #51

Check out her blog and follow her crusades. They are always fun.

GREAT book Alert!!

I just received my copy of Surface Treatment Workshop.  What a GREAT book!!!  I first heard of it from Tee when she did her video on one of the techniques in the book.

It has 45 techniques and I don't think there is one of them that I am not interested in trying!

I buy tons of art books and this is one of the best ones I have seen in a long time.

Journal Pages for Tracy

I have been working on journal pages for my round robin projects and really haven't posted anything for a while.  These pages were made for Tracy's Artistic Evolution journal.  I think Elizabeth Taylor is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen and Tracy loves her so I used her for these pages:
