Day after Halloween at Target (50% Off!!!)

• Hi there. So as many of you know I LOVED LOVED LOVED what Target had this year for Halloween...that primarily being the Skelanimals stuff. Well, I wasn't sure if I'd get up early that day to go but something was calling me to go so I went & it was like Xmas Day-so much fun & excitement. I also decided while there that next year I'm going to try putting together a Halloween Party (my first)...so many of the things I got are in preparation for the maybe-party.

• So as you can see from the above pic, I saved almost 55 dollars, and spent basically the same amount. Not bad I think...considering what I got. I want to go back for 75% off...cuz there were a few things over 10 dollars that I just couldn't buy because I would've spent wayyyyy too much. So I guess I'll see if they have anything cool left at that time. Enjoy my lots-of-savings pics!~

4 bags...

The party supplies...

Lots of candy...and the mug with Oliver the Owl, my fave of the Skelanimals. Awww for Owls!

Random stuff including: magnets, photo holders, plushie, toys, stickers, slippers, and more!

More random stuff including: 2 pack of hand towels, straws, cake pan, and one of my best finds-the Skelanimal throw blanket. Yay!!!

Close up of the Skeleton cake pan.

And me with my blanket and slippers on. Was fun and I hope Target has cool stuff yet again nexd Halloween. And I think they will cuz you all know that Target rules! Take care and enjoy your day.

Scary Teddy rough sketch

No I didn't sketch the one below. I WISH! That one I simply found off Photobucket. That's the best picture I could find of him. Isn't his smile contagious? LOL. ;)

My friend is going to be putting together a CULT FILM art show soon. And it will be going on sometime in December. I would like to be a part of it but I was torn to what I wanted to make...and what movie to choose. So I thought about it and although I love my mixed media work (and think I'm better at those than strictly at painting)...I'm going to try painting something.

If you don't know by now, I love to paint BIG. I'm not good at little details so the bigger the better for me. :) So guess what I chose? Nightmare of course! I know a lot of people will probably be doing Nightmare but I chose a character that isn't a BIG character but still a character that I love and think is cute...and possibly not so difficult to paint. And some of his merch is out there...and I have some so I think he's pretty important.

He's only known as Scary Teddy...but I always think of him as a bat because he flys around with his little cape. So I got a 20 x 20 piece of canvas and decided to sketch this morning. And I never sketch...not because I'm lazy but because 1-I'm not good at drawing and 2-Painting is something that I personally feel doesn't need to be sketched out (I'm better at just "going for it" I suppose). So what you see above is just rough sketches on Scary Teddy. Things could change but overall I just want his face...and his cute & creepy BIG grin to be the dominant part of the piece.

I hope you all are doing well, as I know many of you aren't feeling well (and that includes me too, ugh). I might be going to an art show tomorrow. Unsure at the moment...but it is a group from Ohio who do mixed-media (self-taught) pieces {Hey, that's me!}. So I would love to see others mixed media works because I don't see too much of it at shows I've been to lately. OK, take care & chat with you later.~

Seeing THIS tonight...um, well TODAY, YAY!!!

I HEART Sacha.
^_^
And this is what Bruno looked like on his show...
Da Ali G Show on HBO.
I preferred his hair like this but all things must change (sigh)...
well, I think he looked cuter this way. ;}
And yes, I know that he's gay but still!
I've been waiting for this ever since I heard talk that it was possibly going to be a film.
So when I knew it was coming out I got SUPER excited cuz I luuuuuuuvvvvv Bruno.
He was so hilarious on the show.

Oooo, I don't know what character I like more...
Borat or Bruno...
tough tough decision.
I like both for different reasons I guess.
BUT Ali G is my least favorite...
I'll say that much.

So.....
(sorry Cindy & other Harry Potter fans)
go to the theatres & see BRUNO.
C'mon look at the trailer below...
& tell me that it won't be funny!!!!??!!!

Things I've been observing, feeling, realizing...& some EVE advice/tips too!

(one of my inspirations in life...and HEROES...
she's not 'real' but that don't matter!!!?!!!
It's Delirium from the Sandman Comic Series...
she's so funny & free & full of life & pure craziness....
& she she she...is JUST so colorful & pretty!
I want to be like her...well, maybe just a couple notches less crazier....^_^)

1. I should not stay up late (into the early morning hours)...either on the computer or making art. I wake up soooo sleepy and feel pretty tired all day. I try to make it through my day as good as I possibly can...and I'm alright at it but I really do NEED to catch up on my zzzzzzzzzz's. (My advice-sooooo always TRY to get a good night's sleep or you'll regret it! It's a FACT indeed.)
2. Having LOTS of friends is not always a good thing. Especially if you run in the same circles be it online or in "real" life. I've always been the type of person to have just a few really good friends and I think that's more than enough. I can't handle TOO much gossip or catty BS. I always get hurt because words (gossip) spread fast....& girls can get especially vicious when they think they know YOU more than YOU know yourself. So honestly I just prefer hanging out with my guy friends at times-less drama, no BS. (Advice-Sometimes you really don't know someone the way you THINK you do...and just realize you don't know {and will never know} EVERYTHING about a person. Just like a friend will never know everything about you. Most of all, please keep in mind that friends come in & out of our lives for a reason. And even when it's painful & sad, realize IT was supposed to happen. *Oh, and remember there's ALWAYS 3 sides to a story-my story, your story, and the TRUTH...is that how the saying goes?)
3. If you can't be your own best friend then...you won't get very far in life. If someone doesn't want to do something with you...just do it yourself! (oh & I didn't go to the HEART concert-it was cold & a bit rainy & too far away in the end...not to mention not entirely FREE-sucks) (Advice-get plenty of "me" aka: "YOU" time...even if you're reading, crafting/arting things up, or just being a couch potato...and know there will be a time(s) when you just gotta go out & do it for YOURSELF-like going to the movies, a concert, or an art show. ;}
4. I live for (and love) the simple things in life. Example: like hugging/kissing/chilling out with my doggie...oh & the boyfriend too. ;} Or staying in my art room for hours listening to music and trying out new artsy things...or just really focusing on a piece. (Advice-Every now & then JUST...drop the tv, the computer, the car, the cellphone-I KNOW you can DO it! And simply just ENJOY the lil' things for a lil' while. Mainly so you'll know there is more to life than just all this technology crap...& yeah, blogging too. Yes, I'm slowly but surely learning that about blogging! BLOGGER can live without you and me for ___ time. Never ever ever EVER feel like you HAVE to blog! I make that assumption all the time. I HEART writing/sharing but sometimes you just NEED a break for a bit...and NEVER apologize for it. OK!??)
5. BE YOURSELF...BELIEVE IN YOURSELF...FOLLOW YOUR HEART...AND YOU'LL ALWAYS BE ON THE RIGHT PATH. (I don't think I need to say anymore about that one!)
6. I ALWAYS REMEMBER EVERY DAY IS MY UN-BIRTHDAY. (ADVICE-CELEBRATE YOURSELF IN SOME WAY EACH & EVERY DAY...have a long bubble bath or bake yourself something really bad for you...do something FUN just 'cuz you deserve it!)
   

Take care friends and enjoy your day.~
