wysiwyg wednesday

it’s late & not wednesday yet, but i thought i’d go ahead post this week’s edition of wysiwyg wednesday before i go down for the count…to review the rules, go here.

the one & only item up for grabs this week is the wicked huge scrapbooking tip book you’ll ever want to own! it is rather HEFTY, so i can only imagine what postage is gonna cost me on this {ahem, that’s why i’m only doing one item this time around…i’ve got a few other packages to mail out this week & you know how it is…things start to ADD up!}…

anyhoo, if you are interested in this nifty book, pls. drop me a line stating so. i will take names until 10 pm tomorrow wednesday night (11/1/06>>>sheesh, it’s november already!!!!). since project runway is done {& btw, i’m actually glad that jeffrey won as he was the most innovative designer among the 4, i digress}, my new wednesday must-see tv, believe it or not, is laguna beach…why i find this teen soap opera of rich & spoiled brats so intriguing i’ll never know!…oh well, it fills a void i suppose…oh yes, back to business at hand>>> on thursday, 11/2, i will announce this week’s ww’s lucky recipient.

speaking of november, tomorrow i will begin my challenge to do kats paws’ art everday (AEM). i’m looking forward to beginning this journey {smile}…until then, good luck & happy {almost} wednesday!

4th one done!

here’s the last of the bunch for that vintage christmas matchbox swap i mentioned in post below…so glad to cross this one off the list…now, the next swap is the cookie one! 

more than meets the eye

for some time now, i have been fretting about getting these vintage matchbox christmas ornaments done for vintage dragonfly‘s swap (due this nov. 20th). i had an epiphany over the weekend & the following is what resulted>>>


three down & one more to go…my dh called me to eat supper…so before i hit the sack tonite, i will finish the 4th one & be done!

barefaced

today, besides being HALLOWEEN, is the last day of self-portrait challange’s theme, imperfection. november’s theme will be glam & that is gonna be a real CHALLENGE for me because i don’t wear make-up, apart from my tinted lip balm (terra tints) and eyebrow pencil. getting all dolled up is not what i typically do these days… i mean i used to wear the stuff when i was in my teens & 20s, but as the years have gone by & after i met my dh {who says i don’t need makeup bec. i’m beautiful without it}, i’ve pretty much ditched my cosmetic bag! much to the chagrin to my middle sister, who is a total fashionista.

i guess i could use a bit of concealer, light foundation, blush, eyeshadow & mascara>>>we’ll see…i know i can look more polished & sophisticated if i put a little bit more effort…but at the moment, while it’s still october, i remain frightfully imperfect.
