Playing Card Art Journal: Week 4

Week 4... we made it to one whole month!! Not so bad are we!!! Those of you who are doing this as well (or some other art journaling) smile and realize you've made it farther than a LOT of people. You started something and are actually sticking through with it.

Pop! Thursday

I changed the title from Funko Thursday because it doesn't have the ring to it as Pop! Thursday. Funko Friday sounded so much better but I'm keeping my Art Journal stuff on Fridays. So who's excited to delve into the amazingness of Pop! Funko products?? (image: Me... POP! Logo from the Funko Site)

Games on a Budget

So if you are anything like me (and I know a lot of you are), you stand looking at the rows and rows of table top games that you would love to buy but can't afford. Well I have some news for you, it's not the size of the box that matters. Yes, some of the more complicated games can be lots of fun, but you can have just as much fun with some 6 sided dice and a deck of cards. So here's some fall back games that we play if we have no other choice.

Trailer Tuesday!

Dun Dun Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun.... It's time again! For another installment of traaaaailer Tuesday. Okay, so you don't have to read that in Radio Announcer voice, but it would be so much cooler if you do! Now I never said I was cool.... but here's some awesome trailer's!

What I'm Watching

Today (and this past week) started a whole bunch of interesting TV programs and my PVR is doing double time. So what am I watching... here it goes.

Playing Card Art Journal: Week 3

This week I made a card inspired by what I've been seeing from Comercials. I know that sounds kind of strange but seriously you'll get it once you see it. It's a little different than the last two weeks. Instead of using collage I decided to pull out the Watercolours and Ink.

Amazing Creators: Etsy Art

So I did it again... I spent about 3 hours getting sucked into the abyss that is Etsy. I have to admit I try and avoid the site at times because just like Pinterest I can sit there scrolling through things forever. This time I went back through out the day a bunch of times looking for beautiful and fun stuff that I felt you all needed to see. Why?? Because if I'm going to be sucked in I figure I should bring some friends along for the ride. (Image: Me/Sylvanfire. Source for Etsy Logo: Etsy)

Tales from the Table: Co-op or Versus

I play boardgames fairly regularly and although it has become of a fad of sorts, that is not the main reason we play. Instead what happens is we (as in my family, friends and self) have crazy schedules and so boardgames seem the most logical excuse to get together on a weekend. With playing table top games more regularly we have an on going debate... Co-op games or Versus. (image: Me)

Holding onto a Thought

It is one of those days. You have grand intentions of what you want to write about, you've thought it through, and thought it through again, and seriously think you have a whole post planned! Then you sit down at the computer and nothing comes out. Oh don't get me wrong, stuff comes out, but not anything anyone wants to read about. (image: AllSoul.net)

My Alan Rickman Marathon: Sans Harry Potter

So I've decided in honour of Alan Rickman (one of my TOP actors of ever!) I need to have a Marathon of all my favourite movies... and no these don't include Harry Potter. So for all those fans out there... here are my favourite, non Harry Potter, Alan Rickman Roles! (image: The Chive)

Playing Card Art Journal: Week 2

It's week 2 and I've managed to actually do another card! Look at me staying on task for a whopping 2 weeks... round of applause?? No?? Well fine! This week I decided to use some amazing stuff I found around my house (and things that I had at the bottom of an art bin). (image: ME)

Funko... um Thursday

Usually I have a wonderful title that's filled with Alliteration with Funko Friday's, but being I've started posting my weekly art challenge on Friday (mainly because sometimes it takes all week for me to find the time to do them), this week we are having a Funko Thursday instead. So hold on to your Sonic Screw Drivers and Batarangs... we have a bit of Funko Fun to catch up on. (image: Funko)

A Musical Snow Day

So the snow has finally come and the weather is terrible to drive in. Yesterday buses were canceled for the kids (but my daughter walks to school so I sent her anyway...Muwahahaha), however the weather has been snowy enough that we decided to keep her home today! So what does that mean?? Musical MAYHEM!!! (image: by me... this is the view from my front window)

A bit of Awesome!

After yesterday's sad news I figured we needed a bit of awesome today as a pick me up... whether it's awesome stuff, awesome people or awesome events, it doesn't matter. Awesome can come in all shapes, sizes and varieties. So here's to an Awesome Tuesday! (image: Glogster)

An Ode to Bowie

I'm sure you will see a lot of these today. I'm posting a little late today because I felt it was more fitting to do an ode than have a random post I've been working on. Today sad news spread to so many who are fans of David Bowie, that he lost a battle to cancer at the age of 69. (image: The Guardian)

Playing Card Art Journal: Week 1

So I've decided I need to start an art challenge for myself. This will be something small and easy and allow me to free form my creativity so that I can get motivated to do the bigger more daunting pieces I've been wanting to start but been too scared really to get going. Fear is a wondrous thing. It somehow makes you completely incapable of starting for the fear that it won't turn out right. (image: ME... I'm learning to figure out my photoshop for more than editing pics... weeee)

Inspirational Thursday

Some weeks are hard. Some days are harder than others. Sometimes you can have a great week that may include a few bad days. Well today I thought we'd look at some inspirational stuff. Things that get me inspired to write, post, work out, do art,... anything like that. (image: DesignDisneyRaoul)

Hot Toys: May The Force Be With You!

Omg it's been so long I feel since I've managed to get a cool toy post out! So I thought we'd focus on all the amazing stuff that has come out for Star Wars, because (of course) you haven't heard enough about that at all. Okay, maybe not all.... maybe we'll focus on one amazing toy that I want!

Time for Mid Season Line Up! Bum bum buuuuuuuuum!

It's that time of year again... mid season line ups. That time when all you favourite shows come back from their christmas hiatus (that is unless they don't come back till spring... pout) and a whole bunch of new shows start filling up the possibilities of any free time you may have had. This year there are a few Mid Season Starts that I'm really looking forward to... (image: fox)

A NEW YEAR!!!!!

Welcome everyone to 2016! This is a year of adventure, excitement... and uber geekiness. I have to say I'm very excited to be back in the swing of things! I've missed you all but sometimes family and home priorities take precedent. I hope whatever holiday you celebrate was amazing and that your New Year was not a disappointment.
