New Moon Midnight Release Party

I’d like to start this post off by giving everyone who commented yesterday (here and on FB) a HUGE “Thank You!!!” March 21st will never be a good day for me. But, with friends like all of you (and some thoughtful relatives!), you have each made yesterday go a little bit better. I really felt the love, so THANK YOU!!!

I don’t have a project to share with you today. I came down with an evil cold yesterday (to add insult to injury!). But i really wanted you all to see what a great time I had with my sister Pam and my BF Terry.

Here we are at Walmart. Not a place I frequent by any stretch, but we just had to see what kind of merch they had!

And I figured you all (esp. Erica!) would want to see what I wore… so here is an incredible jacket Pam gave me years ago. Click on any pic to see it bigger.

Terry is not a fan of KS… can you tell???

We went to Borders next, where we picked up our flicks. There were not nearly as many people as there were for Twilight, which surprised us. Esp. considering how much better New Moon was over Twilight! At least, as far as the movies go. Ya know?

And here is Pammie and me. Pam is enjoying a Twi-inspired drink (anything to make a buck right?), and I am just giddy with anticipation!

 

It was a great night. And even though I wish my Twi-Girls were with us, I couldn’t imagine not doing this without Pam and Terry. Now we just have to wait for Eclipse to come out! Peace, Love and Twilight!

It looks like y'all had a blast!! Love your coat!

My Hubby went to Walmart to pick up something and won a Team Edward bottle by answering a question about New Moon!

Love the pictures! That jacket is completely awesome! I didn't get to go out for this one, so, I'll have to do it for Eclipse.:)

Ahhh a shout out! You know me too well! Love the outfit! That jacket is fab! How tall are those shoes? Love the blonde in the hair! Glad you had fun. There weren't as many people as last year where I went either, but we also had a freak snow storm that evening too.
Micki said…
Oh I'm so envious. We had a snowstorm so I didn't venture out. I had pre-ordered it to ship...it better be in the mailbox today :-) Jacket is awesome!!!!

Thanks so much for your comment on my tutorial.... I am such an impatient crafter and when the mojo hits hate to take time out to write down everything, much less take pics, lol.

Beth said…
That looks like so much FUN! You look awesome, btw. So great to have kindred spirits to share the fun!! I'm jealous, too! LOL
Leigh Ann Baird said…
You look fabulous! Love the hair! I grabbed the dvd at Walmart. My almost 9yo wants a New Moon party for her birthday next month and I even found New Moon plates and napkins at Target! She is so excited! She wrote out a 2 page outline of what's going to happen at the party. She wrote down stuff like Bella Bacon, Jacob Juice, etc. for food! So cute!

February Smeared & Smudged Sketch Challenge

The new Smeared & Smudged challenges are up and ready for you to participate in! I got instantly inspired by Kelli’s card sketch for the month, as I have been working with different ideas for my next “Tarot Card.” Haha! That’s actually pretty funny! If you’ve been checking in over the past couple of weeks, you may have seen my Misty Benson Tarot Set 1 ( Smeared Ink ) cards. I’ve used The World and The Fool so far. Today, I bring you Death. Don’t worry…it’s actually a joyful image…one that I intend to use a lot! First, here’s the sketch. I flipped it and changed the ribbon and embellishment a bit. Can I just start off by saying that it is quite nerve wracking to slice your image??? I have done it a few times in the past, but I always get butterflies when I attempt it again. I colored the image and the card itself using nothing but Distress Inks and my Cut-n-Dry Nibs. My skull button at the top has been colored with Alcohol Inks.   The colors look a little off ...

Two Huge Valentine’s Day Hops!

I am in not one, but two Valentine’s Day hops! Not bad for someone that doesn’t even like Valentine’s Day… The first is via Smeared & Smudged . It’s time for our monthly Member Blog Hop! The second was started by Taylor Usry . Please bear with me…this post is long because I am sharing 2 projects and the hop lists are huge. Let’s stat with Smeared & Smudged, shall we? My dear friend Alex and I collaborated on the theme for this month’s S&S Member Hop. Instead of making it a free-for –all, we decided to challenge our members a little…create something Valentine’s Day / love themed, but there is a catch.  Because we are Smeared and Smudged you can not use any of the following: No hearts No red or pink Nothing ‘cute’ unless you make it uncute of course :) Ok, so it’s not dark and scary…but it’s definitely not cute either. I used my colored pencils for the focal image.  It’s from Smeared Ink’s Smitten collection. The “pretty fly” is from the teir teen...
