Random Smiles

So as summer seems to be slipping away, oh wait look at that!! It came back for a few days!!!
Today's blog isn't going to be tooo lengthy as I'm currently glued to my couch painting and crocheting it up for a show I've got some stuff going up in next weekend. By the way if you haven't grabbed your ticket off of me yet...  WHY NOT!!!!!!

So, to give my fingers a rest I have decided to share with you some random and much needed smiles from the last month or so!!



Smile #1 I was walking home the other day, and came face to face with a GIGANTIC Alf!! Seriously, how could you not smile at this!!! I used to loooove this tv show as a kid. And... I will gladly admit, I still have an Alf doll currently sitting beside my window. It's the only stuffed animal I still keep out in plain site. Cause he kicks ass. And is better then your Care Bear anyday!! So there :P


Smile #2 Anyone who knows me, knows I tend to have blonde moments. Yes I am a blonde. For a brief moment in time, I tried to fool everyone. First with red, then with brown. The brown was mostly to cover up the horrible red/bleach dye job that I was attempting to get my normal hair colour back with. Ya ya. Laugh it up. So it's my friend Ryan's birthday. And after a few beer, a glass of wine and some awesome sliders... no no not the TV SHOW, but those tiny delicious style burgers/chicken/tuna, we all decided to break up into teams and play some crainium. So it's my team's turn and we pic drawing and they give it to me because I like to think I can draw. Most days I can. Reading however seems to not be my strong suit. As I was handed my clue/picture I had to draw I began to create a masterpiece!! My teamates were calling out names and animals and things and they were so close!! Untill I hear Ryan break my creative concentration with the words "did I read the same card??" to which I looked up then looked at the card. Apparently, I read the card's title. To which was Creative Cat. Yes.. I was drawing a creative cat. I glanced down to the bottom of the card and saw in tiny little letters "COLD TURKEY"..... "But creative cat was in the speech bubble and it was right there and I totally....." ya i couldn't talk my way out of this stupid one... BLONDE!! Atleast the whole table got a nice looooong laugh outta it.

Smile #3 I went drinking with my two buds Rondeau and Seb. Looooong overdue I believe. Beer, dancing, and mom jokes all in one! How come we don't do it more often. Ohhh ya. We're adults now. With lives, and babies, and houses and better things to spend money on and work the next morning. Damn growing up. Anyways I went pee and saw this picture on the bathroom stall. I think someone needed either a) more alcohol b) better friends or c) try harder to not be emo. You decide.







Smile #4 Terry climbing a tree. That is all!








Smile #5 Big Sugar and Wide Mouth Mason.
Free concert + Beer + Grooving - No Movie x Two
Awesome People =  Best.Date.In.A.Long.Ass.Time. Thank you :)  

                                                   





Smile #6 Van Fuckin' Halen and some rawkin sunglasses straight from T.O








Smile #7 Went home for a visit and a wedding. Stole my mom's camera. Took some garden picks. Nothing too fancy but I like being out in my yard, in the country and taking pictures of the barns, field, highway, trees and whatever else I see. The results of garden pictures :D

and that's it for photograpic evidence of smiles!! I now leave you with... some VITAMINE C!!!! cheesey aint it :D

Upcoming Art Goodness!!

So I have a few art shows/displays/things coming up. Awesome! I got off my ass, and contacted an art group who I've been meaning to contact for awhile now. They display art in a few restaurants and bars around Ottawa.  I've heard some good things about them, and hey you can't go wrong with another outlet of having a new audience view your stuff. So, I am currently a new artists of Basement Artists

Starting October, my stuff will be up in Oh So Good, and I'm doing a show at Babylon on the 1st!! I do have tickets, if anyone is interested. $10 bucks! Come one and all!

Hopefully.. this works out for me, as art sales have been slow, and I need to branch out to different audiences as most of my friends and people interested in purchasing art already have a piece of mine. Some even have a wall!!! Yay!

Happy Arting!!
