Holiday/New Year Gift Exchange?

Thank you, Shannon, AKA my Secret Santa! It was fun getting a package in the mail today! All of the goodies were great, my favorite chocolate was even in there. My very favorite is the pair of Canadian red mittens. My little girl loved the singing card.She danced around with it for quite a while this evening. Oh and I have to say, I have never seen hand sanitizer that had a funnier or more colorful statement across it, "B***ch Slap Those Germs" LOL

Oh wow... it only took a week!! Glad you like it. And I love those cards... I play with them before sending them...

And... THANK YOU to Kim for my package today!!! I have to say that I had NO idea how delicious tribbles were... I got two bags of Tribble Treats and one is already gone... a bag of mixed nut which is half gone... Pashur's Spider book... and a Mobius Ball which I have never seen before.... Thanks so much.

yay for buddies!! so exciting! everyone is having so much fun!

I can't stop looking at these Contours magazines! Such talent!

Ok... have I mentioned that I hate painting myself? Yep. Hate it. So.. this new rainbow cake wasn't the most practical thing to use to lay down a 2 toned base, (it's not very smooth), but I wanted to use all of the stuff I got and incorporate it into one design. So... inspired by Mama Clown's book of cats, used my new DFX rainbow cake. I think it's "tropical". Used my new script liner brush. (poorly). Never been very good with the long, skinny brushes, but I've seen other artists use them beautifully! Used one of my new gems to make this my "princess kitty". Thanks so much Jody! I'll try and do another design using the rainbow cake the way it was intended.

Lovely!!!!

Take that script liner brush & a pot of black paint. Sit down in front of your favorite TV show & paint on your inner arm. Circles, swirls, tiger strips, etc. Press it lightly, then press it harder, etc. You will fall in love w/ that brush!

Yeah. I need to. I'm fairly good at using a #3 or #4 for thin to thick lines. The longer brush just gets me! I do like the way it "finishes" though when you lift it at the end. Just need practice! Here is a simple butterfly with the new rainbow cake again, Jody. I love the colors SO SO much! I can't wait to use it at my party on Saturday.

Just a note... you guys will probably NEVER see me post complex designs on here. Simple... 3 minute stuff is pretty much what I do. lol. Please don't judge the simplicity too harshly.

i think your avatar speaks that simple can be quite beautiful, and more in that case! painting a detailed butterfly on baby?! whoa, amazing!! i can barely do a cheek flower or butterfly WITH a stencil for help! lol

the eye masks above are lovely. i am eyeing the color schemes to. beautiful!

Kat, those are beautiful! And I love the simple 3 minute designs. Those are the ones I need the most around here.

I am leaving for Mexico for 9 days and still haven't received my secret Santa gift. I just want to say that if it comes while I am away, I appologize for the delayed thank you.....to whomever.
It will suck coming back to the cold from sunny Mexico.....but, atleast I get to look forward to a surprise in my mailbox. ;0)
Have a good week everyone.

Simple...fast...that is what I need, for sure! Love the butterfly Kat Tara, every time I see your avitar, I giggle. Awesome.

Kat,

I love your cat, and its funny in all my research and perusing the internet I haven't seen it done that way. It must be a pretty cool book. I really hate to paint on myself too. Yours look great.

I was about to toss my script brush, looks like I will have to put on a good movie this evening and get that little guy out for some test runs. I am still in search of a fave tear drop brush.

The Snazaroo red brush is awesome for teardrops. SHort and stubby. ;0)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU GLITTERFLY!!!!

When I opened my package yesterday I think I almost died when I saw all the paint!! and the brushes...and the bling

From a newbie who has mostly snaz in her kit, the tag colours are AWESOME!! I'm so excited to start trying the one stroke...thank you SO much for including a brush for it

Laurie... it is really cool! So many new ideas for cats. honestly, it's the one design that I've never been satisfied with of mine. I'm great at tigers, but not so much cats. they always look too plain to me. There are like 20 SUPER original designs in there. LOVE IT!

You are so very welcome. I am glad you are happy with the paints. Enjoy!!

So jealous of everybody! I can't wait to do this next year!

Thanks to my Secret Santa, I'm getting to play with my brand new TAG Pearl Rainbow! I don't know who you are, but thanks a bunch!!! I also got some sponges and I can never have enough of those. I'm sick as you can tell in the photo, but I just can't put down this rainbow.

Kat, Looking forward to more examples of cats.


whitney, that's a pretty cool design, I love the colors.

Beautiful Whitney! That is a gorgeous cake.... I hope you're feeling better soon!

Seriously...I love these freaking DFX metallix!


Also I hope my buddy got her gift. It was sent a while back /:

wow, what a mask! lovely

Love DFX metallix! Great mask, too!

Dear Santa,
Thank you for my loot. It was the perfect excuse to get some paint on my face today (I needed that too!) It's gonna take me a few trys before I get the knack with this brand though (see how splotchy the blue is?)
