Random Tuesday & Giveaway preview!

Looking for info on the Grand Opening Giveaway?
I won't force you to scroll through my rambling today. To celebrate the opening of my etsy Art Supply shop I'm doing a random drawing on Jan 19th. 1 person will get a package of supplies. Just leave a comment this week to be entered. I'm adding stuff to the package as I destash. Here are a few photos :
1 mounted rubber stamp

300 faux rose petals
(I'm sensing a valentine project theme here)

2 metal heart tins with clear lids

There will be a few more items as I keep stocking the shop. There's a heart shaped paper punch & some cool scrapbook papers around here somewhere... Keep peeking back this week to see what else turns up.

I so love Random Thoughts Tuesday.... I like to pretend it justifies my babbling.

1st of all what is it with males & Sponge Bob? If it's on TV my 5 yr old, his dad (& any other guy passing through the house) become zombie couch potatoes. Mostly I find it annoying. Tho I have to admit I was totally rooting for Plankton while doped on cold meds the other day!

Am I the only 1 who is digging the steampunk feel to this season of Backyardigans?

Think I've been watching too many cartoons? Me too

Why is it a battle to get my son in the tub, unless it's my bath? Then the little pest runs ahead of me & jumps in! Tonight I'm going to use this weakness against him...muhahaha

Oh, And I'm madly in love with google books....It is a fabulous source for obscure stuff like forgotten 18th century poets and other wonders.

And lastly, a shout out to the Fun & Fabulous artist Suzan Buckner. Creator of stunning collages, paintings & other wonders, she's been getting published left & right lately.You can also enjoy her latest thoughts & art here! Check it out - fun colorful pieces, a good read & even free downloads - woo hoo!

  1. Hi! Just dropping by to say hello and thanks for the advice you gave me about starting an etsy shop. I'm still thinking about it and mulling it over... considering pieces. Making jewelry is not a natural inclination for me so I think I should have quite a few pieces ready.

  2. It DOES justify your babbling...that's what it's FOR ;)

    Oh, and thanks for the google books reference. I sure don't need to spend more time online, but SO. COOL.

  3. My toddler often refuses to eat unless it's on MY plate. I hate sharing my food. Fortunately, baths she likes. (Didn't really mean to sound like Yoda there, but I did.)

  4. Hey ArtSnark,
    Love your previous post on procrastination or time management, both which I have issues with!
    I am trying, really I am, to overcome both but it's very slow going, lol.
    Oh, and please put me on your list for the giveaway :)

  5. I'm a HUGE fan of Google Books - when I was doing some research on the cemeteries I photograph it was invaluable for some really unusual snippets of information.
    There are some wicked magazines on there too - vintage science ones that I just oggle the images of!

  8. I remember never getting any private time in the bathroom when my kids were young! Thank the lord they were older by the time sponge bob and even Barney came along!

  9. I just stumbled upon your blog, and I enjoyed looking through your work. The materials you use are fantastic--I like your combination of color and texture.

  10. Google Books ??!! Where have I been ?? Sounds great. Will have to check it out (as if I don't spend too much time on-line as it is).
    SpongeBob is the ultimate underdog. That is why it appeals to the male psyche.
    I got started watching it with my little niece. There's a girl in the boy's club every now and then.
    It is actually a very original cartoon.
    The Backyardigans are way cool. Sorta old school. They have to use their imaginations, like we all had to do eons ago before the days of Xbox, Nintendo and all such electronic playgrounds.

    Cool stuff on your giveaway. Is your assistant going to to the draw??

    :-)
