GLOW Mask

TOMORROW GLOW STARTS SO LAST NIGHT I

GOT MY LOOK A LITTLE MORE TOGETHER.  THE

PROBLEM IS THAT I WILL BE OUT IN ORACLE ALL

DAY SETTING UP SO GETTING READY WITH MAKEUP

AND HAIR WILL BE CHALLENGING.  I HAVE EASED THE 

PROCESS ON MYSELF BY DOING A MASK THIS YEAR.

 I STARTED WITH A DOLLAR STORE MASK  (WELL 

IT WAS $1.75 AT THE DOLLAR STORE ANYWAY)

AND THEN I ADDED GLITTER AND RHINESTONES.

IT CAME WITH A CRAPPY GLITTER JOB THAT I

ENDED UP GOING OVER.  IT GAVE ME A STARTING

POINT TO WORK FROM.  I WOULD'VE LIKED THE

LOOP-D-LOOPS ON THE BOTTOM OF IT TO BE 

GONE BUT I COULDN'T GET THEM OFF OR THINK 

OF A GOOD WAY TO GO OVER THEM SO I JUST 

DISTRACTED FROM THEM INSTEAD.

EVERYTHING SPARKLY LOOKS BETTER IN PERSON THAN 

IN A PHOTOGRAPH.  YOU NEED THAT LIGHT MOVEMENT.

 THIS WILL BE EASY TO THROWN ON OVER SOME

BACKGROUND EYESHADOW WHICH IS EASY TO DO

EVEN OUT ON A RANCH IN ORACLE. I WILL STILL

HAVE MY CAR MIRRORS TO WORK WITH.

THEN ADD SOME GLOWING JEWELRY AND VIOLA!

LAST YEAR WE DIDN'T GO OUT AS EARLY IN THE DAY

SO I HAD TIME TO DO MY MAKEUP BEFORE LEAVING.

I WILL TAKE PICS THERE OF THE FINAL RESULTS

FOR THIS YEAR.  I AM SOOO EXCITED!!!

Testing Testing

I TOOK A COUPLE TRIAL SHOTS WITH MY NEW CAMERA TO 

TEST IT OUT.  IT IS SOOOO GREAT TO HAVE A CAMERA AGAIN!!!

MY PHONE'S CAMERA DOES NOT EVEN COMPARE!

♡♡♡

New Camera!!!

YESTERDAY I FINALLY WENT TO TARGET TO 

REPLACE MY GORGEOUS BLUE CAMERA WHOM 

I LOVED SO DEARLY AND WAS GIVEN TO ME BY 

BUNNYBANANA.  I REALLY WANTED TO REPLACE

IT BEFORE GLOW.  MY PHONE CAMERA CANNOT

DO NIGHTTIME PICS AND THAT JUST WON'T DO!

I WANTED TO GET THE EXACT SAME ONE BUT

TECHNOLOGY MOVES TOO FAST AND I DIDN'T SEE

THAT MODEL AROUND ANYMORE.  I DID STICK WITH

THE SAME BRAND THOUGH SINCE I AM FAMILIAR

WITH IT ALREADY.  THEY ONLY HAD IT IN BLACK

WHICH I AM FINE WITH MORE THAN SILVER.

 

I AM SUPER EXCITED TO HAVE A CAMERA AGAIN 

AND I HAVE MORE MEMORY THAN I USED TO!  

NOW BLOGGING CAN REALLY COMMENCE!

Do You Remember Last Year's GLOW?

JUST IN CASE YOU FORGOT....

HERE ARE LINKS TO PICTURES FROM LAST YEAR'S GLOW:

THE ART

THE MAKEUP

OUR PIECE- THE MAKING

OUR PIECE- THE FINAL PRODUCT

THE RE-DO

Countdown to GLOW

THIS WEEKEND IS GLOW!!!

I AM NOT POSTING ANY PICTURES OR HINTS ON
THE BLOG UNTIL AFTER THE EVENT.  IT WOULD RUIN
THE EXPERIENCE FOR ANYONE COMING IF THEY SEE
IT BEFOREHAND.

WHAT I WILL SAY THOUGH IS THAT
WE HAVE BEEN OUT IN ORACLE PREPARING
THE PAST TWO WEEKENDS.

I DID A POST LAST YEAR ON THE ARTSY RANCH
WHERE GLOW IS HELD.  HERE ARE A FEW MORE PICS
FROM THIS YEAR THAT I TOOK ON OUR JOURNEY.

EACH YEAR THEY HOLD LANTERN WORKSHOPS

TO MAKE LIGHTS FOR THE EVENT.  THIS YEAR THEY

WERE GETTING DOWN WITH SOME PLASTIC BOTTLES.

THIS PIC WAS FROM THE DAY MEADOW AND I PICKED
OUT OUR SPOT AND SOLIDIFIED OUR LOCATION PLANS.

WE WERE OUT IN ORACLE ALL DAY THIS LAST SUNDAY,
WORKING ON IT MORNING UNTIL NIGHTTIME.

THIS WAS THE VIEW ON THE DRIVE HOME AFTER A DAY
FULL OF ACCOMPLISHMENT AND PRODUCTIVITY.

Jerry Seinfeld

AT THE LAST MINUTE MOM WAS ABLE TO SCORE
ME AND MEADOW SOME TICKETS TO JERRY SEINFELD
AT CENTENNIAL HALL!

WE WERE SOOO EXCITED!

HORRIBLE PICTURE OF ME

HE WAS VERY ACTIVE ON STAGE AND MOVED

AROUND A LOT AND GESTURED A LOT.

HE WAS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL COMEDIAN.

AT THE END HE TOOK ANY TOPIC FROM THE AUDIENCE.

AS IT STATES RIGHT ON THE TICKET THERE

WERE NO CAMERAS ALLOWED BUT AFTER HE

WAS DONE AND CAME BACK OUT I QUICKLY

SNAPPED A COUPLE PICS.  YOU JUST CAN'T

TELL IT IS HIM AT ALL.

GREAT SHOW THOUGH.  I WILL ALWAYS HAVE
A PLACE IN MY HEART FOR HIM.

Office Supplies with Googly Eyes

IF YOU WANT TO CHEER UP SOMEONE OR BRIGHTEN
THEIR DAY, I STAND BY MY THEORY THAT SECRETLY
GOOGLY EYEING  (YES THAT IS A VERB NOW) THEIR
SPACE WILL BRING DELIGHT TO ANYONE.

JUST AS I DID TO MY COWORKERS THIS WEEK-

I SNUCK INTO THEIR OFFICES AFTER HOURS
AND PICKED PRIME LOCATIONS FOR THE EYES.

I DIDN'T TELL EITHER ONE OF THEM ABOUT ANY OF
THE EYES SO I JUST KEPT HEARING LAUGHING DOWN
THE HALL AS THEY KEPT DISCOVERING THEM.

I DON'T THINK EITHER ONE OF THEM HAVE FOUND
THEM ALL YET!  THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF IT!

Endeavour

TODAY THE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR, RIDING ON A HUGE

747 AIRPLANE, MADE A LOW FLYING APPEARANCE AT

MY WORK (THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA) AROUND 

NOON ON ITS WAY TO BEING RETIRED IN A MUSEUM.

THIS IS A PIC THAT OUR I.T. GUY TOOK AND BELOW I CROPPED 

IT SO YOU CAN SEE THE ACTUAL SHUTTLE BETTER.

THIS ARTICLE FROM THE L.A. TIMES STATES THAT:

 "THE TUCSON FLYOVER WAS ADDED TO THE ROUTE TO 

HONOR FORMER REP. GABRIELLE GIFFORDS, WHOSE

HUSBAND, MARK KELLY, COMMANDED ENDEAVOUR'S

FINAL MISSION LAST YEAR.  KELLY REQUESTED THE

FLYOVER, NASA CONFIRMED."

WHAT A THRILL !!!  I WAS DRIVING TO A SITE VISIT 

AT THE TIME AND ME AND ERNIE SAW IT RIGHT 

ABOVE OUR HOUSE BUT JUST FOR A SECOND.

TECHNOLOGY IS AMAZING !!!  I ♥ NASA !!!

Sunday at Dad's

I BUSSED OUT TO DAD'S THIS PAST SUNDAY
FOR ANOTHER INSTALLMENT OF SUNDAY AT DAD'S!

I AM EXPERIMENTING WITH USING MY PHONE'S
CAMERA AND THEN EDITING THE PICS IN IPHOTO.
I AM PLEASED THUS FAR.

APPETIZERS

DAD GRILLED CHICKEN

RICE CASSEROLE

THE CHICKEN TURNED OUT PRETTY DARK

BUT I LIKE IT THAT WAY.  LIKE A MARSHMALLOW!

LINDA MADE A LIME MERINGUE PIE FOR DESSERT-

IT CAME OUT GORGEOUS!!!

ALSO THERE WERE THESE HUGE GRASSHOPPERS

ALL OVER THEIR BACKYARD.  THEY WERE SO PRETTY!

BUT THEY ARE EATING LINDA'S PLANTS SO

SHE WAS MASSACRING THEM WITH A SHOVEL.

AND AS ALWAYS, ENDING ON A SUNSET....
