Roll Cameras and...Action!!

Hi Guys!

I am sooooo excited here!

I have been planning to record videos for a while now, but if you know me, you'll know I want to have it as perfect as possible. Meaning, a fun intro, speed up painting process with voice-over and music...etc. Well, with my current schedule, I never seemed to have the time to record something. So two days ago, I was staring at a sketch and thought "you know what...the sun is shining (no need to set up with extra light) and I'm just going to record! If it's okay, then I'll upload it, if not, well at least I tried and I'll record something else later."...so that's exactly what I did and it went okay! When I looked at it I was "Ohhh I did that!!!" and I didn't feel like "Nooooo I don't want to upload this!" haha. I am so pleased to show the first of many videos that I'll be creating for you guys.

There's no voice-over or rambling intro just yet, but will have this with other videos though. Sometimes I just need to let my need to have everything TOO perfect go and just go with the flow and the time I have (will publish a column soon about my  thoughts on this.). So without rambling too much...click on the video below and check out how she's created. It's not your usual happy TJ painting though haha.

Feel free to share the video with everyone who might love to see it. It's a new adventure for me and I'm so curious what you guys think of it! So do start rambling if you have something to share. ^_^

Enjoy your weekend!

Party Time!! *throws confetti and glitter*

Yoohoooo!! *waves* Are you wearing your party hats and outfits? If not, no fear, you can find a bunch of outfits and hats on the table on your right. It's okay, you may browse around and pick whatever you like. Why you wonder? It is my....BIRTHDAY! We have to party and dance and for this you gotta look festive ^_^

Every year I wonder how it's possible for the time to pass by so quickly again and I think I mention this in each celebration post as well. Seriously though...how?!

Okay, that aside, for the first time in my blogging career...I don't have a Birthday Giveaway on my actual birthday. I will have one later, but it sucks as to me it's like a little celebration with all you guys as well! But, last week I got plagued by head-cold and I've been sneezing me brains out of me head (and yes, I meant to say "me head" and not "my head"). No fun! However, I can't force things (I will ramble about this soon) and I'm not completely better. I've only worked on commissions and put my own little projects aside. So in a couple of weeks I'll have the giveaway which I'll combine with the Holidays, so stay tuned for that please.

But as many of you already know, I could not have gotten this far without the help of everyone who supported me and my art throughout this year (and the years before). Really, such a huge thank you goes out to all of you for following me on my magical & creative journey. Here is to the third year and you can grab whatever piece you want from the cake below...

*raises many glasses in the air, throws confetti and cupcakes*

Gotta say that I've been feeling like it's my birthday for a few days already; got lovely goodies from across the world! How lucky am I?!

Oh! I also took this day as the starting point to start posting on Expats Post again. I've been quiet enough now. So if you like to read a more "serious" ramble, please click The Magic Carpet.

Lastly, you can tell me what you picked from the outfits & hats table...only if you want of course. Hehe.

Have a lovely Sunday & Till next time everyone!
