Birthday/Christmas

I have slowly started a birthday/Christmas wish list. The sad thing is though, I know I'll get none of this for my birthday and/or Christmas. If I'm lucky, I'll get some cash to spend on my own, but it's not the same. It's the thought that someone actually got me something I wanted for once. Rather it be a cheap or expensive thing.

I hate being a Christmas baby. I really do! My birthday is December 23, anyone else close to that?

Anyways, here's a small wish list for me:

  • The Stencil Collection: Non-Smear Pastel Chalk
  • Sakura Clear Stardust Pens, Gelly Roll Moonlight set, Gelly Roll Stardust "Galaxy" set
  • Koi Watercolors
  • Prismacolor double-ended Markers - I prefer the 120ct.
  • Prismacolor Watercolor Colored Pencils- Would love the 32 ct
  • Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils - Would love the 120 ct
  • Twinklin H2O's - 24 ct. Would love more, though!
  • Pentel Brush Pens (I have orange and yellow, want all the other colors!)
  • Sizix BIGkick
  • Pearl Ex 32ct

    Those are just some of the bigger things I want, that I know I won't be able to buy on my own. Hopefully I can get at least one of them for my birthday or Christmas! :)

    Has anyone else started their Wish Lists?? What are they? :)

    Gimme Your Stuff!

    I've been reading the "Gimme Your Stuff" blog, and thought what a great Idea. I love getting items from all over the world, and it's so much more fun when it's from Outside the US.

    Things I'm looking to trade FOR:
    International Candy/Food/Sweets/Snacks
    Kawaii Items *I love Hello Kitty!*
    International Arts and Crafts papers
    Open to many other things! (I do have a wishlist, if you want to see it!)

    What I have to trade:
    Any candy/food/snack you can find in the US. Anything at all you can think of in the US, I can probably get.

    PLEASE Let me know if you want to trade!!!

    *Ps. I do have feedback on Etsy, Ebay, Swapbot, AFA, MUA, and a few other sites that I'm wiling to provide.

    Stuck

    I need a new paper cutter/trimmer. The one I have is taking a real crap. I bought some pretty good watercolor paper from Michaels, that I'm dying to cut up into ATC blanks and Journal Pages. I don't want to chance ruining my good paper with the crappy cutter, though. And, I don't have the money to go out and buy a new cutter right now, so I'm stuck.

    I did make some new ATC's, I'd like to post. But, I need to get my lazy butt up and scan them first. :)

    Hello Everyone :)

    I decided that it was time to start an art journal. I'm going to be posting in here, art that I make, Art that I've received and LOVE, Art projects I do, How-to's, links to some of my favorite sites, and much more. I do hope you will enjoy your stay, and come back! :)
