Disney Paris

Well, we needed another post change.  So Disney was SOO much fun!!  Is anyone thinking of coming over here in the next year??  I've been to more places this year and would love to show you around!!  Shakespeare's birthplace, Disneyland Paris, our town center is opening a massive new shopping mall in October, of course London, we have Oakwood theme park one hour away, Cornwall a beach town in England.  So Disney was really, really cool.  It's smaller but the cool part is we walked from our hotel to both parks and 'Disney Village' which is like Downtown Disney.  So you walk everywhere, easily.  And the parks are the same, but different.  And it really makes you want to learn another language!! I'm going to look into that again.  One more time on Italian.  But Pete said he'd try it with me, so it would make it easier to practice.  So, in the picture, Hayle is pulling Pluto's tail.  In our hotel room, we went to a VIP lounge for breakfast every morning, literally across the hall from our room, and character would join us.  

Me in 2-D

So just an interesting FYI...

A friend of mine is an art director. He has been involved in some Cartoon Network cartoons like Sealab 2021 and Frisky Dingo. Anyway, he just started work on a new show, and asked me to come in and have my face drawn for a character!

So I will be famous soon enough. Expect that I stop calling/blogging/caring about you all soon.

Here's a link to what the show's about. I'm not sure there's an official title yet, but it might be "Duchess" or "Archer"

No telling when it airs. I know my character is going to be poisoned. I had to have my picture taken making gagging faces and pretending to throw up in my mouth. He said that they'll probably use my face for other stuff to. I basically signed away the rights to my likeness so I don't have one anymore. And it may not look like me when it airs (he mentioned I could be blonde with warts). BUT for some reason, I'm still flattered. I should have my 2-D image tomorrow to show you all. Fun.

Hayle

Ok, Hayle is really growing up!!  You all know she started babysitting, opened a bank account, carries a debit card to access her bank account and makes her deposits, checks her balance and transfers money from savings and the debit part.  Well NOW, she was dying to spend money today!  She transferred money from savings so she could spend some.  We stopped at a local spa, and she had her eyebrows waxed!!  Really, it was a little 'tidy up'.  Not much taken off, but she was so cute!  Then we walked over to the Aveda salon, where she discussed some options and made an appointment for Monday for some highlights.  On to the drug store where she picked up some make up items.  She left feeling 'very pretty'.  Just what a girl needs!!  Yeah Day!

What was the best part of your weekend??

Ok, I wish everyone would post more!  I miss you all, and want to hear more about your lives!!  So, just for fun, tell me what was the best part of your weekend, or of yesterday??

For me, it was the unexpected walk to the pier, stopping for a beer/wine and enjoying the sunshine!  It's so rare here.  Then Pete made me a most delicious sandwaich for dinner, yummy!

Kilroy & Maw

Not sure how many of you know that I've started a little endeavor with a friend of mine, Sarah Watts. She's an amazing illustrator who shares with me a love of gig poster artwork. So we've started contacting bands and making posters. We collaborate on design, she illustrates, and then I've been screenprinting them. So far we've been doing really well, and I just wanted to share with the fam some of our work. You might not know the bands (mostly indie names), but the artwork is pretty regardless.

The name of our business is Kilroy & Maw. Kilroy is a reference to grandpa. Remember how he used to always leave notes all over that said, "Kilroy was here" ? Granted, it's a saying that has history and pop culture reference (this wiki article about it was interesting to me and added a bit more meaning). Maw is a reference to Sarah's grandma.

We've only done 3 posters so far, but we have more in the works. Pretty soon we will have a website up (thank you Christy!), but in the meantime here is our etsy site:

Thanks for checking us out!

Prayers Needed

Jada's uncle passed in his sleep last night. It was her dad's brother. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GERRY!

Look at BJ's face!  It makes me laugh!  I went to get the dogs out of the dog pen area, and one of the dogs had dug  hole, rocks and dirt flung everywhere.  I was easy to see which dog it was, look at the dirt on his face!!!

Love is in the air!!!!

Congratulations to Carl & Gabby
Looks like we will be squeezing in one more wedding this year.

A Movie for the 4th of July Girl

This is Christy posting from my mom's account because I am not a contributor.

This is a short film about a couple returning home from vacation to find some strangers living in their home. When they call the police it seems something even spookier has happened nobody sees or hears the couple.

Background: Dedicated to Brittany our little 4th of July Baby. This piece started as a Twilight Zone scary movie, but quickly turned comical as we attempted to shoot this without editing. Toward the end you will notice some very good "special effects" as we attempt the final scene. Also, note that Neil's girlfriend, Vanessa, was an awesome sport she was in the house for about 5 seconds when she was informed she was in our movie and playing the character of Eddie's Fiance.



Cast in order of appearance:
Husband: Leeman
Wife: Christy
(In the house)
shelley
Carisa
Andrea
Eddie
and Vanessa as Butter Bean
Police Officer 1: Eric
Police Officer 2: Neil


Remember No Editing Here!
