BETH-FONICS!

For some of you who don't know me very well, I am NOT the world's GREATEST speller! So I have come up with a new name for my lack of correct spelling style BETH-FONICS aka PHONICS (so overated is proper spelling. I have had this problem since forever (I hope my kids don't inharett this from me (did I spell that right? probably NOT).
Just thought I would share a funny with all of you, it's way funner than going & doing the dirty dishes in my sink right now! Oh & if you want to know if I ever use spell check, yes I do my hubby & my AWESOME FRIEND'S Lucinda & Sherry. I am sure they would rather help me than do dirty dishes also! hahahaha

GOING, GOING.................GONE OR NOT!

Well as all of us know our economy has not been the best for our country for the past 2- 2 1/2 years. Because of this it has really hurt the scrapbooking/paper crafting industry. Some of our favorite companies/stores have had to close their doors do to these tuff times. One of these was RUSTY PICKLE! I was fortunate enough to get to meet Lance Anderson (founder of RUSTY PICKLE) a few weeks ago at the Mesa, AZ. Scrapbooking Convention. Some of you may recall that we used some of their product for one of our first challanges & the kindly donated a prize to us as well. He was super nice & even autographed (NOTHING RUSTY HERE) his book for me! Lance is not totally going away he said that he will still be teaching classes locally & around the globe!

CHALLENGE #11 icky, yicky, sticky &................. oh soooooooo PICKY!

This last week on the show the 6 remaining designers had to design a RED CARPET look for someone famous, but who it was they did not know! They were told that this person was picky & very opinionated about what they like to wear..........hhhhmmm who could it be. Well as it turned out to be none other than Heidi Klum! But that wasn't all with this challenge, they had to get feedback from Heidi about her likes & dislikes: don't make my butt & hips look big & don't make my boobs look flat or saggy! No big patterns & so on. But that wasn't all the drama, to every ones surprise one of the designers (Maya) decided to leave the competition early! Leaving room for the last eliminated designer to return ANTHONY OUR LITTLE YUMMY CHOCOLATE GAY CUPCAKE! Then just when you thought things had calmed down one of the models (Valeria) left early to go do another job (can't blame her she got payed double $$ cha ching!), but then things got even crazier with 2 winning the challenge this week : Emilio/Anthony. WOW it was a lot of twists & turns this last week.

Well after all that lets talk about our challenge: icky, yicky, sticky &............oh soooooooooooo PICKY! Your challenge this week is to design a layout about someone else other than yourself. This person must be out of your comfort zone! You can't do it about your kids/husband. Choose someone different: your neighbor, friend, aunt, sister, in-law, etc.. Learn about who they are: favorite color, hobbies, likes/dislikes, etc...

This challenge is due by midnight Thursday April 15, 2010. Email your pics to lucindafish@cox.net.

I will see you on the runway.
