Original Art from the Con

A couple years back Eric and I decided that buying original artwork from our favorite artists was the way to go at Comicon. There's lots of books, toys and tee shirts but we really don't need a plethora of stuff anymore, but prefer to have some original pieces that we watched the artists create!Batgirl by Cliff Chiang
The Spirit by Justin Moritat Norman
This is Humberto Ramos drawing our Spiderman (below)Jonah Hex by Cameron Stewart
Aquaman riding a rubber duck by Scott Campbell
Shazam (Captain Marvel) By ... Joshua... Crap, I can't remember - I'll have to ask Eric when he gets home.
Sandman Mystery Theater by Guy Davis
This is Mike Kindt drawing one of Eric's favorite pieces of the day... Sandman (below)
And Joe Quinones drawing us...

THE JOKER!!! Our favorite piece... hands down!
I picked up these two books for $6 a piece... looking forward to them - their art is beautiful.
And the artist was super duper nice.
This is Maris Wicks...
She was Joe Quinones lady friend who was also a very good little artist... We bought her book after talking to her for a little while.
And now for the artists I was most excited about...
Skottie Young who draws the Wonderful Wizard of Oz...
He drew me this Dorothy piece - and threw in a Toto for free (yay) and then signed all of my first issue books of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Here's Chris Giarusso artist for the Mini Marvels. He drew me a Hulk!
And my favorite artist of the day... he was SUPER nice, and funny, and very thankful to have fans at his table.
Jacob Chabot...
He is the artist for the X-Babies - and he signed my first issues, and also had the writer sign them.
And then, he also drew me Kitty Pryde.
Who is adorable by the way :)
And then - I bought his personal body of work The Mighty Skullboy Army... which I am excited to read! He signed and sketched in every book... and gave me one on the house because he was so excited that I was interested in getting the first one.



Yes, Emerald City Comicon... we will be back next year... Thanks for the wonderful expierence!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

8 Years Ago Today...

 8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...
