Over 2 years since my last post, I'm so bad at this.

I'd really like to get this going again, so I think I'll start with my new Iron Fist 'Zombie Stomper' heels:

I love these things, but I have high arches so they're a little hard to wear. I'd live in them if I could, though. This pair came from pinupgirlclothing.com; Iron Fist also has a website and they can be found in a few other stores, too. Hot Topic carries them but they didn't have this pair when I looked.

I'm such a goon. :D

flatbread pizza (my take on Lyn's)

Not sure why I could never come up with something like this. Well, it's probably because I'm no good in the kitchen. My meals consist of anything I can just stick in a pan and heat up. Lyn (florspace) showed us a simple pizza-deal like this awhile ago and I finally did it myself. It was so easy and so good that I could happily make it every day.
Here's what I used, and in the order I used it:

-flatbread (this one was from Target for $4)
-chunky mushroom Ragu (the more mushrooms I can have, the better)
-deli thin mozzarella slices
-thinly sliced fresh mushrooms
-grilled chicken, cut into small pieces
-shredded mozzarella to top it all off

Then I had no idea how long to cook it so this was a guess:
20 minutes at 450
I'd say it took about 18 minutes, but that extra 2 would have been fine, I was just starving and drooling.

This made enough for my husband and me, we cut it into 6 pieces for easier eating.

I was so proud of myself that I immediately grabbed the camera as I was making it. Look, I cooked something!

mimobot ~love~

TokyoBunnie inspired me to blog about mimobots. TenaciousToys.com has these Tokidoki mimos up for pre-order (or you can get it on the mimoco website), and I decided I MUST have Pirate Nero, 2GB. (I suppose 1GB is ok, too, since I'm not supposed to be spending money). These come preloaded with Tokidoki goodness, all the more reason to pick one up! I love you, Simone Legno!

Here we have Pastaio, Pirate Nero and Meletta
Check out the hand grenade-pineapple on Meletta!



Now if I could only get my hands on a Tokidoki/Hello Kitty purse...

He's all done! Next one will be painted with acrylics and maybe a spray paint base, and it won't be a famous icon, just something from my own lil head.

After I started this guy, I found 2 or 3 KFC Munnys other people had done. I knew the idea wasn't original, but I was kinda disheartened when I saw the others. Work kinda stopped on mine. They're all different but I just don't like re-doing things.
I just got an order of Sharpie paint markers on Monday so I will finish him soon.

Yay new shelves!

My dear husband bought me the shelves I've been wanting for my craft room, and today he put them up along with the spool rod. I spent 3 hours in there tonight, deciding what to put on them and I'm sure it'll all change again this week. I love organizing!

I finally made something! I haven't done anything in a long time, so today I decided to get off my rump and make a "vintage" cone. I made it for my mom, but it's going to be hard to give away!

Over 2 months, again?!?

Yeah, I'm bad. I've been slacking on crafts, probably because my craft room is a total wreck. I just open the door, throw a bag in and close it real fast. I never seem to have a whole day to myself to get anything done. Maybe this Sunday. Maybe.

I never posted about my fall scrapbook kit, well...here it is! It's called Apple Pickin' and includes the paper kit, chipboard, rub-ons and sticky ribbon









I really like this collection, but my favorite part, the scarecrow, is only on a couple things. I really wish I could have done stamps for this set.

Over 2 months??

I'm a bad, bad blogger. Haven't had much to say, really.
Had an anniversary (1 year!), received my 2 (yes 2) cases of JLed Finders Keepers (see post below), made $250 at my mom's garage sale last weekend, that's about it.

I have 2 swaps to put together and send very soon, one is Halloween and the other is Apples, they're both from a group on Flickr. I can't wait for these because I've only done one swap, and these have 3 swap-partners each! I need to get crackin on the little felt ornaments I'm sending with the swaps.

Been wanting to take pictures of new goodies I've bought for Halloween, I suppose I'll just wait until I decorate now. I think I'll start tonight because all my new things are calling to me!

Here's my Skull paper set for work. I'm kinda disappointed in the the quality we're getting but I can't do much about it. (pictures courtesy of OTC's website)

Kill me now

Kidrobot - Joe Ledbetter Finders Keepers
Release date: August 30th
16 figures
20 to a case/blind boxed of course
So, I really should plan to buy 2 cases, right? omg.

They're showing 3 styles in 2 colorways here. That makes me think there are 8 styles/2 colorways. So, do I really need 2 cases if there aren't 16 different-style figures? What are they not showing us?? AHHHHH!!



43 days to go. :faint:

One of the pages of my skull paper pack, due out later this year. I think it's rad. Click on the picture to go to my Flickr page, there are more designs.

Shinzi Katoh fabric and kawaii terrycloth

My ridiculous fabric obsession is back, it's been awhile since I bought any so I made an order with superbuzzy and reprodepot.
I could have spent a lot more, I think I was pretty good.
I ordered this very expensive but very worth it fabric from superbuzzy.com on Tuesday, I can't wait to get it!


Along with these terrycloth prints!





I'll put up a picture when I get everything. :)

Mushies at Urban Outfitters

Ceramic mushie bank $18
Kinda bulky looking, but that means it just holds more coinage. :D


Ceramic mushie S&P shakers $16
These don't look like they're painted the best, but I still like them.

I'll try to post up pictures of my ever-growing mushie collection, I've picked up some new things recently.

My current favorite artist

Joe Ledbetter

And he has toys...


His original paintings are going for up to $2500, I'd give my left arm for one. I wish I could go to gallery showings in CA and at least see them, that'd make me happy.

My BBQ scrapbooking line is in the catalog!

Here it is! My BBQ paper pack, acrylic stamps, epoxy stickers and sticky ribbon! The first two shots are from the Fun Expressions home page, they show some projects and the latest catalog cover (I did the cover).
I'm super excited, even though the paper shot does not show the whole kit, but I've let someone know and hopefully they'll replace that picture online.







This stuff is only available at orientaltrading.com (search: barbeque)
Scrap your summer family picnics and reunions! Have fun, let me know what you think!
Here's a link to sign up for the catalog

Yaaay, I finally took pictures of a couple little things I made.

Long time no post...

ribbon jar
Originally uploaded by gtcowgirl.

I had to share this picture of a tiny part of my ribbon stash. I took the photo so I could show it to a buyer at work. The ribbon spools and Ball canning jar are from Michael's, they are hard to resist! I only have 10 different spools, but the store had at least 100! Aren't they adorable?

Squeee!!

Check out this tiddlywinks set! Just so you know, I will be ordering this just for the mushroom. :o)
It's 2 3/4", so it's pretty tiny, but it's only $5.95!

I'm DYING for this, let me tell you.
