New Cell Phone

I don't have anything craft related to post because I've been busy getting acquainted with my new cell phone. The Palm Centro. Got if for free at Best Buy last week. Yaaay for Free stuff! So far I love this baby even though there is a learning curve and I've never used a phone with so many features before so, yes, I am catching up with new phone technology here.

I also found out that Pushing Daisies has been cancelled. So sad. It is such a beautiful story and if you loved Amelie you would've loved the Daisies. I am hoping a cable network will pick it up (like USA) because I don't think it should be completely removed from tv just because it did not reach the ratings the networks expect (lousy good for nothings).

Save Pushing Daisies

Oh No! One of my favorite tv shows Pushing Daisies is in trouble. This is one of the most creative, ingenious and lovable stories on tv today but no one is watching. I don't understand why people prefer to watch trash but won't give something that is truly entertaining and total eye candy a second look. If you are a fan check out this blog to help save it. If you've never seen PD then tune in on Wednesdays at 8:00 pm EST or 7:00 pm CST and be prepared to fall in love.

More Got Sketch Layouts

Here are some more layouts I created.

Sketch 3 - This is my nephew Adrian and he has such a cute sincere smile.

Sketch 5 - I had fun with this one. My layouts are usually pretty simple and plain. I loved adding all the embellishments on this one. ( I skipped sketch 4 because it's a two page spread and I still have to choose pictures for it.)

Sketch 6 - Turned out cuter than I originally thought it would.

Anyway, forgive the distortions, I'm still trying to figure out the best way to photograph the layouts.

By the way, Heroes was fantastic! It was action packed and intriguing. I used to hate Sylar but now I think he's an awesome character. Such a dark and mysterious villian. They really can't get rid of him. One thing I do think the writers need to research though... last season they showed the twins leaving the Dominican Republic. However, during the premier she mentioned she came from South America. The Dominican Republic is in the Carribean not South America. Will she be eating tacos and enchiladas next?

Heroes Premier Tonight

I was a big fan of the first season of Heroes and couldn't wait for the second; but the second season left me very disappointed. The new "heroes" did not impress me at all (especially the twins with the sister that cried some kind of black muck and killed people this way. --Huh? -- But I guess she will be back this season also because they only killed off her brother on the last.) Their storylines were lackluster and dragged on forever, never getting anywhere. I guess the writers strike didn't help either because they never really finished the season.

Well, hopefully, they've reworked the show because there's a lot to watch this season and I'm not going to give it a chance if it starts sucking after the 3rd episode. I don't have time to waste on a crappy half-assed show.

I'm a tv-aholic and I'm not ashamed. It's an escape from reality and it's fun. I don't know how my DVR is going to handle it all this season. My returning favorite is definitely Pushing Daisies (Oct. 1st). Can't wait.

Sketch 2 - Results

So here's my layout for sketch two. This one took a little more time and planning since I didn't follow the skectch exactly and the embellishments took a bit of time to put together.

I know the photos aren't great of the layouts but I'll keep trying to make them better. I can't seem to find a place with good lighting.

Well, I'm off to watch True Blood the new HBO vampire series. I love vampire stories as long as they are not dumb. Thanks to Anne Rice.

On another note, I thought I'd share a little facial tip I use when I can't get to the facialist. If you would like microdermabrasion results at home and your skin is not sensitive, mix together some noxzema (or generic) from the jar with about a tablespoon of baking soda until it forms a paste (consitensy of toothpaste). Rub your face (make sure face is dry) with it in a circular motion for about 30 seconds and rinse off. Tone and moisturize with a gentle moisturizer. Do not use any treatment products right after you do this! Your skin will feel as smooth as a baby's butt! Enjoy!
