Yes, I plan on going back to HD soon and getting some more. I feel wierd walking out of there with a big stack of them though. I feel like I am stealing, even though they're free.

My niece used to work at HD and get them for me. That was a great way to get them. I would get them on my own and then she would get them for me too. It worked real good.

Haha, I love walking out of HD with a stock the the paint chips. We had a fat stack when we grabbed one or so of every color last March so we could make our countdown calendar. Now I'm really thinking I want to do that again ... Hmmmmm!

Haha, maybe if I was buying something else, I wouldn't feel so guilty. I was grabbing like 10 of each colour. I thought maybe I was going to be obvious, but nobody really noticed. Phewf!

Maybe I'm just a devil without a cause -- out looking for trouble at my local Home Depot

Just wanted to pop in and say "hey!". And totally steal your idea for a countdown calendar from *ehem* scavenged home depot paint chips.

Hope all is well!

I was going to use those on ours too but found that card stock worked better. I have a mickey cookie cutter and traced a few mickeys onto a piece of white paper then just copied it onto my colored card stock. Worked like a charm. I'm still not sure I like the way it works now but I have a whole 9months (countdown goes up three months out...lol) to figure out how I want it to be for next year. lol

I think it's fun to see how everybody does things. We have never done a count down before so this is gonna be fun.

Jazz, you have convinced me that I need to make that stop at the Disney Soda Fountain! We will probably stop there on our way to Las Vegas. It only takes a few hours out of hour day. PLUS, a bonus for me, Mickey Mouse and Michael Jackson's stars are both really close, so that makes that plan pretty much set in stone! Thanks for tip!

You while you are in the area you should drive down Rodeo Drive and look at all the fancy stores, and look for stars. I love looking at the shops on Rodeo Drive.

Ooh! That would be cool! Might have to do that if it's not too far away. It would be cool to see someone famous!

I believe it's all in the same basic area. It is in Beverly Hills.

Nobody wondering if I'm still alive I swear this has been my quietest 24 hour period in a while.

I don't have much to add trip wise. I'm getting depressed because I'm starting to think Nameless can't go. And if Nameless can't go, I can't go. I don't have to funds to make this a solo trip right now.

But I promised I would keep everyone updated on my shell that doesn't look like a shell (IMO). Well, I like the small one. The big one looks like patootie on one side.

So this is where I was this morning after working on it yesterday. I just added 2 more coats of coffee and used some blue ink in it to add a cooler shadow.

And then after spending an hour and half on it in class today starting off my actual painting, this is where I am:

I'm starting to feel better about it after seeing the photo. For some reason, looking at it in person, I hate it.

Oh I hope your friend doesn't cancel on you! That would really suck! But if she does, maybe you can go at Halloween time like you originally planned. You keep saying that you really want to see it then.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

BTW your shell looks really cool. I wish I had the time to do things like that!

 

[kaoden39]

Oh no I hope it works out. I think your sea shells look good

I start at 10. But I leave in about 45 minutes so I can go grab coffee and pick up a couple of things that I need.

O.M.E. My stupid ear buds broke. Like ... the piece that goes in your ear kind of split apart. I've never had that one happen to me before. So glad I remember now so I can go buy a new pair.

My dog chewed up my ear bud and the same thing happened. They were $40 headphones too!!

I hope you can still go!! Oh my gosh that would be so sad.

Your shell looks AMAZING though. You can really see the contouring.
