recovering and recap
Oh right….back to real life. I'm late with posting…but at least I did it! These pages chronicle the wrap-up of the HIM tour. I documented the set lists from the four concerts we saw, and journaled about the experiences. Still in recovery after a three-night-stand staying in the city. Whew! It was a gas.
I found these terrific new tools at AC Moore. They are perfect for making toner transfers with Goof-Off. Also good for blending with watercolor pencils, brushing on glue, painting and smoodging.The rose count is insane! With the recent rain the bushes are heavy and leaning. Need to find a way to support them. *adds on the to-do list* Here is one until I can take more photos.
Fallon was able to finally get photos with three of the guys Friday night. Perfect little addition to a fantastic tour. We were definitely spoiled. They are all back in Finland now. When-oh-when will they be back?
This week Seth @ The AlteredPage is revisiting True Colors with commentary each day from the participants. I thought all the artists would be included in a one-day-post so I kept my remarks brief. I could talk endlessly about the fabulous experience of making pages, then seeing it go to print. Fun to be reading his blog as we reminisce out loud. Check it out HERE.

thank goth it’s friday
(happy mothers day graphic with sneak peek of new stamps)
I will be away, so I am sending you wishes for a Happy Mother's Day. Hope you have a grand day, and wonderful weekend.
Look at this enthusiasm. The roses are all eagerly growing straight up toward the sun. We now have twenty bushes – and countless, literally cannot count them, buds about ready to show off. Check out the evidence on this one. Can't wait to get back after the weekend to see them.New crusade is posted. Come play! (The Roman Numeral for 40 is XL, get it?)
Oh, where am I going? You mean you haven't been keeping track, counting the minutes like me?
I will have a small collection of new stamps up for pre-order next week. I can't wait for you to see these! I'm just finalizing a few sizes to match up with some paper punches. Sneak peek in the top graphic.
Again, Happy Mother's Day ~ especially to my cute little mom with the big heart. xoxo

nozzle finger
Finally! A break in the rain and I could go out and spray! I have wet knees from kneeling in the grass, and *nozzle finger* from months of being out of practice. Oh, I missed you spray paint.
I am really bad about trying to blot off my stencils. In fact, I'd rather keep working and let the layers of paint accummulate, then monoprint with it or chip it off later. As I was waiting for a perfect spray-day I took on the task of cleaning up. I carefully rolled the stencils and all the paint cracked and worked loose…some were almost to the point of being clean again (until I put them to work again today!)
My sweet friend Cindi commissioned a sprayed suitcase. I was going to keep the final look a surprise but she asked to see it. So here it is darling ;) It's on the way to you, and can be packed up in time to visit NY for the last leg of the you-know-what tour. xo
I really thought I would use red on this. But I like the look of it without – kinda tapestry-ish with some spider webs and heartagrams. Makes you look twice. NOTE: if you try this at home you definitely want to get a spray varnish. I freaked out that the spray paint remained slightly tacky (as in sticky) but once I coated with the finish it was perfect! -

E is for enthusiasm, evidence
I had limited time today to make my rubytuesday pages since I'm heading out to pick up Mom from the airport. It was easy to do these – simply documented recent events by tucking away some *evidence*, and scribbling down some thoughts.
I was so touched and tickled by the responses you left on my last post. I printed out the comments for my journal page. I get it that not all of you are HIM fans. And you may even roll your eyes when you arrive to see another post about them. But what is really cool is that you were still able to share the enthusiasm with me. And you get it that these projects and experiences are important to me. Thank you.
Oh! You want to know where that cool *evidence* tape came from? When I was looking for pre-printed toe tags I came across crimescene.com I ended up making my own toe tags, but found lots of great stuff at that place. I have been keeping a journal….yes another….that is all about barrier tape. I collect different specimens of tape while out and about, and friends even send me some. I have tape confiscated from the local premises of Greece, Italy, and France!
And courtesy of ATPhotography, a few shots from the show Friday night. It was spectacular! Next up: three more dates in May!
