A House of Color

a little of this and that

Adrienne is up to no good people. yes, I'm causing mischief and mayhem ;)
Actually--I'm not, I just wanted to sound all rebellious for a second there. Anywho, so guess what I have in my hands right now?????

Uh huh. just THE BEST BOOK to have ever been made. ever. It's a compilation of all the limited edition art of Gama-go and I swear it's flippin killer!

I also bought more buddies from Stela...how CAUTE are these guys?? awww.

what else.
Here's a layout "in progress". yes this is what it's come to people...this is how much I've been scrappin that I'm actually posting an "in progress" layout rather than a  complete one. How lame lol.

But I dooooooo still have a completed layout to share with you...I mean not that your sitting on the edge of your seat or anything. but I did this one at CHA when all the new Prima product started pouring in, and since I didn't have pics, sweet sharon gave me a picture of her daughter to use.

how yummy are the epoxies?
and this was a card I made with the new prima transparencies. No doodling though...it was kind of a rush job.

The new Pulse collection is one of my favorites! Here's a little card using the papers and other prima goods

Here's some recent pics to share :D hurray for pics!
It was a killer sunrise on Thursday in Chino

It's a new manufacturer based out of Canada called Rose Moka

and I have to admit...I'm in love with their stuff!!

I'll be doing some pages this week with all this yummy stuff and I'm so excited!! OHHHH ALSO!--If you are taking one of my classes in France for October this year we will be using a BUNCH of these papers and each registrant will get a sheet of the Rose Moka sticker letters too! eeeks I am so excited!!

Also, last night I hung out with my aunt and cousin and she gave me some of the pictures she took with her camera the other day. These are just the ones I put in my myspace pics...but I have more to share later.

K so just wanted to mainly post the drool worthy Rose Moka gear...I'll be back real soon I promise :)
Hugs, Adrienne

lots n lots

of stuff to update! :D first I see many of you want to know what camera I bought and I went with the Sony Cybershot DSC-H50. Every day I use it I keep thinking it was the best purchase I ever bought!! The LCD display pops out and rotates so I can put the camera waaaaaaay above my head and still see the screen :) It has a slideshow mode that will play back my pictures with real music...in fact I can download music from my computer onto the camera and use that as well. It has several filters such as the acid-wash effect amongst others. The lens can focus EVEN if a flower is touching the lens!! thats how close you can get with macro! Pictures are super sharp!! In fact, almost every picture I take with this one will makes someones eyes look very glassy and sparkly. In movie mode I can zoom (which a lot of cameras don't have). Speaking of zoom...I had never ever ever used it in older cameras. the pictures would always come out horrible but with this camera I get 15x optical zoom and the pictures still come out AMAZING. It even has a remote control people!! So I can take a picture with the remote without having to do the whole timer setting thing :) I could go on and on and on about all the features, but I'll spare you. If your looking into a camera you should DEFINITELY consider this one! It completely exceeded my expectations---which is hard to do lol.

moving on, my aunt got a new camera as well so we've been testing together :)

I saw my book at Michaels the other day and if you could have only seen my cheesy smile lol.

I have some scrappy stuff to share--but still have to take the pics so maybe next post ;)

I actually have a lot more to post about but I have a ton of errands to run right now. boooooooooooo for errands!

luvvvvvvv you all

hugs adrienne

aaaaaaaaaaaaaah

There is something NOT in my favor LOL. I was just about to do the long post and was uploading the pictures into inkfrog and apparently they are having tech. issues so I will have to wait :( hopefully not too long. hugs!

Adrienne

aack

I promise you guys...if there's even anyone still reading my blog LOL that I have a big post up ahead--tons of pictures and all that fun junk :) tons to update and all that jazz...I even (gasp!!) went on a date people!--and had fun--and the guy is killer cute--and hopefully another date with him is in the near future ^-^ k chat with ya all soon! hugs, Adrienne

Up to

hiiii! SooOOOooo I bought a new camera! I was originally researching and considering a rebel...but first of all...I don't know enough about photography to get an advanced one like that...much less the funding to afford hundreds of dollars worth of lenses lol. But, truthfully...I made THE best decision!! I had absolutely no idea HOW bad my old camera was...until I started taking pictures with the new one!

You guys..I'm serious...this camera is a godsend! It completely exceeded my expectations times 100!!! It even has a mode where it detects smiles...and it won't take a picture until your subjects are smiling! It's got ALL kinds of fun gadgets like that...and the pictures are so vibrant and clear! dude. It even has a built in "acid wash" effect. swooooooooon ^-^

So here's some shots with it :D

Did I mention that I dyed my hair black?--I posted some of these pics in my sis tv gallery so a few of you already know, but for those who don't--I dyed it jet black :) I've always wanted to do some crazy stuff with my hair...but you know. The military...they didn't let us so now that I'm out it's def. time for some change. I'm thinking about getting some pink or red wispy highlights on the bottom...not sure yet.

I'm going to a private showing of a new movie tonight that stars Dakota Fanning from the creative director of the Nightmare Before Christmas...and I'm SO EXCITED!!! How fun is that?! That def. calls for a woop woop! haha. ok thats it for now...scrappy stuff to come later :)

Hugs, Adrienne

cha show details

Me n Celine. She is just the cutest little thing! I love how happy she is :) and guess what?????? Did you know that Celine has her own magazine now? The first issue will be out very soon and I am just soooooooo happy for her. She really does deserve all of her dreams to come true and I'm so excited to see it! She brought me issue #0 at CHA which I will post soon. It's basically the issue that debuts before the first issue of a magazine :) how exciting!! There are so many amazing people on her team for the mag...Breanne Crawford, Amber Ulmer, Corinne Delis just to name a few...and I keep thinking WHAT the heck does she need me on there for with all those girls! hah. Good stuff though...I'm super anxious to take part in it! sooooo moving on...

Cha was totally awesome! It wasn't my first time there...but it was my first time working in a booth...and people, it's no joke! lol. Completely exhausting. In fact, I lost 2.8 pounds (still doing weight watchers), and I ate ribs, and hamburgers, and dessert...lets just say Adrienne was FAR from deprived on the food side...so to lose weight even after stuffing my face with lard...just goes to show how much work is put into everything ;) 

Have you ever wondered how CHA lets the manufacturers know that they are opening the doors to the retailers? LOLLLL. A very "subtle" way haha. Here ya go:

Setting up:

Thats Tami all the way on the left. She's my boss :) and she's gotta be the cutest thing ever. I'm serious....she doesn't even try. yes...I actually like my boss hahha ;) we have fun.

Thats Carla. She's a doll. She's also a weight watchers leader so needless to say...she kinda kept me in check at dinner hahahha. no but really she's a really down to earth gal, very light hearted.

Thats Denny. He's the international sales rep at the office. He also is the man behind the scenes of directing the setup at the booth. Him and Donny are the greatest...another set of light hearted people.

My pictures are SUPER bad. Everything was so fast paced that it could be very easy to forget to take pictures in the first place...so whenever I remembered that I had a camera in my pocket I would quickly grab it out and shoot--then get right back to work ;)

more:

We stayed up late late late making samples with the new product. The room was a disaster. I'm talking....serious disaster lol.

top row: me, sharon. bottom row: Cari, kimberly, tami's friend (didn't catch her name), Josie, Tina, Liz, Pom, Josie's mom (ack I'm bad with names lol).

And this one has Tami in the middle :D

TGIF fridays was ummmm. an interesting dinner. We started our feast with Denny cutting his finger on his mug (don't even get me started on that--the poor guy). We got him a bandaid, and me and Tina's order was all screwed up. We started eating when everyone else was finished LOL. We told the waiter that we had two birthdays...but of course it was nobody's bday LOL...we just wanted to surprise someone with a cupcake hehe--how evil of us! hahah.  Then we got 5 free desserts cuz of all the mishaps :D

Cari, Carla, and me

Getting things packed up after the show

Donny and Denny on our way home.

We were nervous wrecks waiting for the plane to take off. We totally thought we were going to die. I mean...just LOOK at the photo. Believe me...you don't want to see rain outside right before you fly. And Roy (who works with us at the office) hadn't flown for like 5 years or something so we kept joking around telling him all kinds of crazy things to expect when a plane fly's on a rainy day lol.  Donny kept smiling...but more of the "nervous smile" which was pretty funny.

Actually, I have a little clip :)


So thats about it with the CHA pics...wish I could have shared more...but my mind was so swamped with other things that I'd totally forget I had a camera ;)

Here are some scrapbooking things I did right before the show that I didn't get a chance to post:

and this little guy is a new owl buddy that I bought from Stela birds on Etsy. I have two more on the way...they are SO cute!

and I have more to share and show...I'll save for the next post :)
hugs, Adrienne

settling in

I'm back from CHA today and whew!- now that was some hard work! I guess I never realized exactly how much went into the whole production from a manufacturers point of view! There's lots of hee larious stories to tell, pictures to show, and even video to share! but for now, I have to go to my weight watchers meeting and get myself settled in. Have to go straight back to work tomorrow LOL--the insanity never ends hahah.big hugs! Adrienne

packed up

and off to CHA I go! I'll be there until the 21st...see you all soon!!
hugs, Adrienne
