today was a GREAAAATTTTT day!

now take a look at a sample layout I made with the masking tape :).. the layout is not quite done.. needs something of dimension but I wanted to show you how great it is

and here are some examples of fun things you can do with the tape as well.. dress up a simple lunch bag!  Tape an envelope sealed.. decorate a glassine envelope.. YUMMM

you can identify your tools/art supplies with the tape by wrapping a piece around it.. dress up your agenda, a spice jar.. OMG!

don’t forget bellarific friday tomorrow AND don’t forget the previous post for your chance to win some hair drying gloves.. YUM!!!!

Mwah sistahs

I be soooo verrrry happpppy

Em

here we go again about INANIMATE objects and products that I adore.  Sistahs, as you all know (if you know me by now or if you are new, you will get to know me rather quickly..LOL as I am not that difficult to figure out!)

Remember THESSSSE? Well they are about to HAUNT YOU AGAIN!

So let’s discuss some blog candy here…..  I was recently contacted by the owner/creator of the HAND DRYING gloves, Patti Coyne.  I discussed these gloves  in this post.  Patti is from one of my favorite Toronto HOT SPOTS in terms of product called Delineation.  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this store.. they have all the newest hottest must-have products!  Ok, I may sound redundant.. LOL but have I mentioned how much I LOOOOVE these gloves?  I really really love them and TRUST ME.. if I no LIKEY something, I TELL-Y.. and if I LOOOVEY something, I TELL-Y TOO and force people to buy it..LOL.  A lot of people have been asking me what products I use in my hair (curly).  I use a product call CURL KEEPER and the whole line of curl care products from www.frizzoff.com .  I actually get my hair cut at the creator’s salon… they obviously specialize in curly hair products.  TRUST ME SISTAHS, I have tried it ALL.  I am a makeup, purse, wallet, moleskine, any agenda, pen, hair product DIVA..LOL.  The website for the hair products is rather flashy LOL.. There is a “technique” in how to saturate your locks in Curl Keeper and you may think it is crazy that there is a technique but please watch the videos and you will THANK me!

So this is the scoop. Patti sent me some gloves to give out as BLOGGY CANDY to all of da curly haired sistahs out there!  I have 3 PAIRS to give away to 3 lucky winnahs!  BUTTTT you gotta work for it.  Since I am a product Diva, I need to know what product- whatever it is- that you CANT LIVE WITHOUT! So I now can’t live without these gloves.  I also don’t wear much makeup but I love this new eye shadow I got from MAC called NAKED LUNCH.. i put it all over my lid and leave! it’s YUMMY!

I also love SHU UEMURA eyebrow pencil.  Now I don’t really like the look of an eyebrow pencil.. but this is magical.  it only goes on when it touches your brow.. just a little tint and hue.. LOVE IT.. and you MUST ask them to sharpen it the japanese way with a razor blade.. it’s amazing.

So HERE are my TWO NUGGETS.  I have MANY MORE UP MY SLEEVE that I love and cherish.  Be sure to leave a comment and I will pick 3 lucky winnahs on FRIDAY!  We may discuss this stuff more often if you are interested?  SO DON”T FORGET TO TELL ME WHAT YOU LOVE AND CANT LIVE WITHOUT in a COMMENT!

Don’t forget Bellarific friday submissions should be in by Thursday Night with this sketch as the theme

Mwah to da SISTAHS who LOVE PRODUCT!

Just received huge shipments of maya road and american crafts…. OMG..

will try to post BELLARIFIC FRIDAY SHORTLY SISTAHS!!

sorry for the delay!

Here we go with the INANIMATE object stuff.. and how much I LOVEY IT!  Wait til I show you THIS!!

It allllllllllllllllllllllll started when I decided to take an online class with Kelly Kilmer on Art Journaling (one of the many classes I have been taking).  The class I am taking is called A LIFE MADE BY HAND.  It is so wonderful.  As I always say about art journaling is that the process means more to me than the end result.  Kelly mentions wonderful art supplies she uses which I will update you on here unless you take the class which I really recommend.

The first supply she mentioned was the COCCOINA GLUE STICK. Then I investigated further and found the COCCOINA GLUE PASTE (YUMMALISH) and the LIQUID GLUE.  The amazing thing about these glue sticks and paste and liquid is that they are ALL NATURAL, made with ALMOND OIL, have amazing “stickability”, are acid free and smell like a FRESHHHHHH MARZIPAN.  AND… There are NO CALORIES!  LOL.  Kelly uses these gluesticks with GUSTO.  I just tried them and am in LOOOOVE!! Oh and they are made in Italy… YUM.  They should smell like Pizza, no? lol

I will also be carrying some gift journals just cuz I could NOT resist and wanted to share with da sistahs! so stay tooonedddddd in the what’s new section!

Ok couldn’t wait.. had to SHARE the SMILE JOURNALS.. are they not SOOO ME? All handmade leather in Italy, 5″*7″ and is refillable.  Amazing to keep with you or to gift 🙂

do you LOVEY da GLOOOOOOO????????

Also got some new 7 GYPSIES GOODIES!!!! and will be receiving MOST OF EVERY PIECE OF NEW AMERICAN CRAFTS!!! (having them overnight it so I will receive on FRIDAY!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!)  See some of the perks of NOT going to CHA?  I get the stuff BEFORE da peeps get back! LOL.

So excited so tomorrow will be a POSTING NEW STUFF DAY!

Also, DON”T FORGET this week’s BELLARIFIC friday theme is BIRTHDAY.. and you can send to me by Thursday evening

Mwah to da sistahs who love GLOO and nice new goodies
