Twisted Thursday--Wire

What a great lazy Saturday morning I am having! When I came upstairs, Kip had already made coffee so I made breakfast and then we have just been hanging out this morning. I love these kind of days. The Twisted Thursday Challenge this week was to use the sketch provided and the twist was to use wire. I started with this Snow Woman image from Shirley's 2 Girls and then filled in the entire snow woman with glitter glue. After that dried, I went back and colored everything else with Copic and Prisma markers and then added some hi-lights with a white gel pen. I decided to try something a little different with my white pen. A lot of the time I will add a shadow around the image, but I wanted to see what it would look like to hi-light around my snow woman with the white gel pen. Since I was finished with everything else, I am glad I liked the way it looks so I didn't have to start over! For my twist, I made a little garland with beading wire and some snowflake buttons.  Supplies used: Snow Woman from S2G, DCWV paper and card stock, snowflake buttons from Dress Up Buttons, micro glass beads (on the holly), glitter glue, white gel pen, Copic and Prisma markers, Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder, beading wire.

Only one more week until my vacation! I am getting very excited about traveling to South Carolina for my Copic Certification class. Kip and I are going to my parent's house on Friday I think and then my mom and I will be heading to South Carolina on our own. My poor mom, she has gone to Indiana with me twice to take classes and is now going to be driving with me to Columbia, SC. She's getting a really nice Christmas gift! After we get back we will be hanging out there until Thanksgiving and then will head back here. I have the whole week off and Kip can work anywhere that he has an internet connection. I can't wait!

I mentioned the other day about my rather odd sense of humor. I thought I would share this conversation I had with my mom to show where it came from.

Me: So I guess after we get back from South Carolina, Kip and I will just hang out there until Thanksgiving.

Mom: Really?

Me: If that's okay and you can stand us that long.

Mom: I'll think about it.

Me: Well I guess we can find a shelter or somewhere to eat. I'm sure if we volunteer, they will give us a plate of turkey and dressing.

Mom: Well there is one on Wildwood Avenue.

Of course she was kidding, I think, but just shows you a little of where I get it from!
