2020 Secret Sister swap - almost Christmas!

[nchoney]

So now I'm intrigued by Pam's wish list... have to go window shopping to see what Finnabair's up to...

This might be a good place for all of us to find Christmas wish list items

Uh oh.... went out looking at the sparkle stuff... and down a rabbit hole I'm going.. LOL good thing I have to start working in a few minutes. That sparkle stuff is super sparkly pretty!! Just from the example swatches.

I’m really trying to think! Apparently I’m in a crafting rut? Will post in the next couple of days.

Okay - I’m intrigued by Finnabair’s Sparkle acrylic paints - no particular colors. I’m sure I would use some blending tools either the ones with the oval pads and long handles, or the brushes with a metal handle that retracts the bristles, or maybe you have some you really love and would recommend. Paper Glazes and Shimmerz interest me as well. I’m easy.

Maybe the PhotoPlay layered stencils?

Not intending to be a copycat, I'd like to try those long-handled blending brushes, or PhotoPlay layering stencils, a couple colours of coordinating Catherine Pooler inks, or Rock Candy Embossing Powder in Butterscotch by Emerald Creek.

and then I had to go look at embossing powder... LOL

nope... not buying anything else until my scrapbook room is put back together...

Dear secret sister...I had to think about this when I look around my craft room.

However... I now in addition to my monthly BUJO have acquired an Archer & Olive blackout dot journal. I’m intrigued with working on its black heavy pages. I will use it alongside the current BUJO for an expanded 12 month Future Log and other “collections” rather than a monthly organizer. I’m using an assortment of opaque paint pens and gel pens that write on black paper.

So I am intrigued with also using metallic water colors and markers. Hope this is helpful.

Oh, oh, oh - Farley's post reminded me I might be interested in trying paint pens. Posca and Decocolor brands come to mind; there are likely others. Fine-tipped, colours from the rainbow palette as opposed to black or white or metallics. I think they can be bought individually.

Just checking to be sure all our packages have been mailed. And checking to see if you've received yours yet. We didn't pick a date for opening them yet.

I've received mine. And I've mailed mine out.

[pamcook]

I mailed mine out on 12/2.

[Keitha]

I mailed mine

[paddlegal]

Yes, mine has been sent several days ago.

[pamcook]

Mine arrived today!

[nchoney]

You know we're going to need to share all our learning projects that we do with our new tools we get for Christmas

[pamcook]

That would be wonderful!

[nchoney]

Farley and Keitha, have you received your gifts yet?

[Keitha]

I have not, which is not unusual given how long it takes things to cross the border.
If everyone else has and you want to open them, don't wait for me.
