Twilight!

Friday...March 20th...My niece, Ariana, and I went to Hot Topic in Tanforan for the midnight DVD release party for Twilight!!! I thought it would be more crowded but thankfully it wasn't. There were only about 50 people there. We were number 25 and 26 in line.

Here I am holding invitations to the party and the Director's Notebook from the movie.


I so LOVE Edward!!! Ariana loves Jacob! This cardboard life-sized 6ft-1 cutout of Edward was one of the raffle prizes that the store was giving away. Everyone got a raffle ticket and other ways to get raffle tickets included answering the many trivia questions of the night. (FYI...Ariana won 3 tickets by answering some questions correctly.)


The next day, we all got together to have a Twilight DVD viewing! The fans below include (from left to right: Samantha, Ariana, Sheri and myself). Ariana and I both got these Twilight shirts from Hot Topic the night before. And the posters came from Hot Topic and Blockbuster.

February Card Swap Creations

Here are cards from my last card swap that I hosted. 6 people (Mom, Tricia, Sheri, Nickalli, Cecilia, and myself) participated so everyone received 6 different cards. The theme for February was Just Because or Thinking of You. I gave everyone a template from CTMH's Originals Card Confidence Program and let everyone choose whatever paper and accessories they wanted to use. These all came out so beautifully!!! Each picture shows who created it.

Dimensional Elements Wall Hanging Workshop Artwork

Yesterday, I held a workshop on making a wall hanging with lots and lots of embellishments. Everyone's wall hanging came out so cute! Everyone brought their favorite pictures to display and we all had fun making these creations. I took pictures of everyone's artwork and wanted to share it here. It was alot of fun!!! Be sure to click on each picture to enlarge it and get a close-up view.

The Founder of CTMH

Hello - I haven't had a chance to blog / post any new artwork lately. So, as I was sitting here thinking about what to post, I had an AH-HA! moment. Why don't I post the link to the founder of Close To My Heart's blog: http://www.jeanettelynton.com/

She's always posting new stuff with tons of pictures and provides great recipes and lots of fun stuff to read in general. I'm gonna add this to my favorite links too, so look for it in the future, on the left hand column of my blog.

Oh, I just thought of something else. I recently planted cilantro and parsley. I will be growing basil as well, but can't plant that for another month or so. I'm takings pics of the growth, so look for those shortly. :-)
