Christmas Cards

My ideal evening involves weird shows on TLC, man-sized  loungewear, and a craft project.  This isn't some new thing because my mid-twenties are behind me now, it's always been this way. I decided to make my own Christmas cards this year and probably took it a little bit too far into cat-lady territory

(I made a rubber stamp. I carved a snowflake into this gummy block using my bare hands and small tools.)

My inspiration was this reindeer that I bought to add a little Christmas cheer to my mantle*.  I drew a picture and scanned it, then printed it on different papers, adding paint to some and stamping others.  I made 6 in about 2 hours, including the breaks I took to give my full attention to Hoarders and I
Didn't Know I was Pregnant. This is seriously going to take me forever.

Merry Christmas!

Goat Hill Fair

Spent a few hours at the Goat Hill Antique Fair with my mom today, it was old wonderful stuff overload but I managed to find exactly what I was looking for and somehow not much else.  Self control! There were real goats too, I was kind of wondering about that before we arrived...

Book Report: Backstage With the Ballet

Found this paperback book of photographs by Pierre Petitjean yesterday at an otherwise unfortunate church rummage sale.  It was published in 1978 and features dancers from the following compaies: the New York City Ballet, the American Ballet Theatre, the Ballet du Grand Theatre de Geneve, and the Ballet Theatre Contemporain.  

 

My Little Pony

 

It's interesting how pastel hued highlights and ombre dye jobs have become hair trends.  I've never been drawn to such unnatural things but lately I find it mysteriously appealing.  The thought of fake hair glued to my head makes me cringe but the rainbow fishtail seems almost worth it.  I've seen a lot of intriguing images on Pinterest lately too.

And then there's this..

Happy Friday : )

Case Study

I just discovered Society 6 and Get Uncommon.  I need one of these considering the amount of times I drop my phone per day is greater than or equal to the amount of times I get out of my car.

On an unrelated note, I never thought that mustache thing was funny.  If I see another mustache mug/tattoo/iphone case I will scream.

Maybe black means you're happy
