Shiny Hair?

Hey Birdie!! You asked; here it is... (Don't you love it when that happens?!)

Folks who follow me on YouTube or G+ may have already seen this pop up in their feeds, but as I said yesterday, I haven't been doing a good job of updating this blog. I am a slow colorist, and even though this video is double speed, it's still over ten minutes long. Just in case you get tired of watching me color, the card is below. (The end of the video is me showing the card...) I made it for a teacher friend who was voted teacher of the year at her school.

Thinking...

Now I'm debating. It seems like I haven't updated my blog even though I've made things including YouTube videos. Do I post a bunch of things in a row for Aunt Hope (and all of my other wonderful followers), or schedule them so that she has a few days with new material guaranteed? Hmmm...

Here's a SUPER quick video for you while I sit and ponder...  :D


**Can you hear this video?? I've watched this on YT, but playing it just now on my blog, I could barely hear it with the speakers all the way up and the YT volume at max. Let me know.

♥ This One's for You!! ♥

My lovely Aunt Hope has recently become my most faithful blog reader. A few days ago, she, uh, requested that I put up some new posts. Well, since I LOVE!!!! her so much, this one's for her...

Last summer I thought I wanted to jump into the whole art journal craze. It took from then until March for me to actually get past putting much other than gesso on a page, though.

The light from the window is really brightening this picture...

So, I had been upstairs flipping through a prayer journal that someone gave my mother and saw this scripture. It was talking to me that day! I stayed up late into the night painting; I thought I was going to get fussed at by my mom since she was sleeping and I was making a ton of noise coming up and down the steps with supplies, but she slept right on through it. (If you knew my mom, you'd know she could sleep!)

I won't bore you with the details, but please believe all sorts of stuff is on these two pages...

Stacey Made This!

My lovely cousin came over to play with my crafting supplies today, and we actually managed to get a card made! I think she was an excellent student and created something wonderful!! She decided to CASE the lovely card found here... and ended up with this:

She said she needs a few more cards for some of her good friends and will be back tomorrow. We'll see what happens... :D
