A House of Color

new stuffff

There's new stuff 'round these parts......wanna peeek????

All new Prima goods are NOW SHIPPING!!! so if you see something you like...chances are your LSS will have it right now...if not very very soon! :D good stuff...swooooon. I don't even want to open any of the packages!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I've been busy you guys!!!! I can feel the stress building up in my chest--isn't that like the WORST? Well that and the disturbing thought of ninja eskimos ice fishing in pink snakeskin leatards--of course. BUT I must say I can't even begin to tell you HOW excited I am for the next few months!! It's all been such a dream...a DREAM of mine for years...hard for me to believe it's all real-ya know?--it's just that good of a feeling--I'm waiting for something to go wrong--like my hair falling out or being diagnosed with some rare illness--or robots to knock on my door and pinch me awake.

This next CHA show will be interesting...there will be a lot of products that I designed for Prima in the booth--some new concepts and things that I'm really excited to share with everyone....and crossing fingers that people like it. I will actually have my own line of papers this time around amongst other things ;) and then a month after the show my FULL LINE of never before seen products (that I designed for Prima) will be available in Michaels! We're talking papers, alphabets, chipboard, you name it...it will be there. But you won't be able to see this line at CHA cuz it's exclusive for michaels. March can't come soon enough! hehe.

My next book will debut at the next CHA show as well.....stressssssssssss. stresss stress. You guys I'm not kidding...I am losing my mind. And a part of me wonders.....did I already mention all this stuff??????????? you know what. I think I did. o wells...there's my "losing mind" confirmation...you know just in case there were any slightest doubt.

Darryn and I broke up last week. There were a lot of little things that just didn't sit right with me. He was fuzzy sweet around me, but I'm pretty upset that the first few weeks he was SUPER enthusiastic about art and just a lot of things I was into....come to find out that he's not really into any of it. Things got boring fast...I started to notice that he judged people which as an artist myself---something I def. don't dig. He never wanted to go anywhere fun...he was too picky with movies, he never held my hand, never opened a door (not that it's a requirement..but once in a while would be nice right???), so just stuff like that. It was almost like as soon as we became exclusive...he didn't feel like he needed to still "try" if that makes sense?  Not to mention that his job travels so much that he's gone 75% of the time. It wasn't gunna work out.

I better go before I bore the heck outta ya and scare you away for good! lol. hugs, Adrienne

just cuz

Nothin extraordinary to share today...just gettin my work on :) I'm doing the whole "meeting the parents" thing tonight with Darryn and his family at a steakhouse. Random pics...

I. will. beat. u. up.

haaAAaY

Darryn swooning me with his heavenly guitar playing.

hugssss, Adrienne

o o o o o oooooo

Just you wait...the next www.scrapinstyletv.com collection is gunna make you pee your pants--in a very GOOD way :D

whewwwweeeeeeEE!

I'm here. I'm TOTALLY here right now...
someone should capture this on video or sumpin.
Well I have many reasons on why I haven't been keeping up with my blog for some time now...and I'll go ahead and clue you all in--LOL as IF your sitting on the edge of your seat hahahha.
I don't even remember what my last post was about...it's been that long hah. But for labor day weekend I went to a bbq partay with darryn. THIS is what I remember from it people. for realzzzz.

And now for the GRAND
FINALE!!! (uhm it really WAS the last of these kind of pictures too! haha)

And then I got in trouble for taking a picture with flash in the car while darryn was driving :x

I'm just gunna come out with it--I was slightly intoxicated hahah. In fact, I have absolutely positively NO IDEA how I got the streaky colorful photos to come out the way they did...I should drink more often eh???
This last weekend I spent working on some projects I'll talk about later. Darryn and I also went to the aquarium in long beach which was supa fun. Here's a vid. and some pics (btw--I have no idea who the "oraphis" guy is in the video LOLLLLLL)

I'm excited to try some artistic editing with these soon. I'm not sure if I'm mildly disgusted or fascinated with the jellyfish...but I couldn't take my eyes off em.
We also celebrated my uncles bday on sunday! we ate at a really REALLY awesome resteraunt on the beach. What was really nice about it was that it's kind of secluded from the busy city so there wasn't a lot of ruckus and was verrrrry relaxing! The food was really great to boot too! still have to edit some of the pics but here's on of me with my sweet Oma (grandma).

So you all might be wondering how the job is going at Prima. I totally luv it there! It's an awesome blessing to work for such a down to earth company...we are kinda like a little family :) awwwww. fuzzy. In fact, here's some pics I took the other day there

This is Pom and Tami--the two sisters behind Prima.

Tami got a new fancy camera

This is sweet Sandi, Pom, and Tami

And tami didn't have any pics of herself so I took a bunch of her to post on her facebook thingy

I'm not sure if I posted some of the newer pics I did artistically...I'm looking forward to doing a whole bunch more but these were a few I did last week.

This one was actually taken by corinne delis (you're such a goddess!!) but I edited it for the striking effect :D It's Helene, Lucy, me, and Corrine in this one back from when I was in Holland. yesssssss can you believe it?? A year later I'm still editing holland pics! HAH.

So thats all the visual stuff I've been up to. Now for the boring text-only schtuff lol. The reason my blog has been put a bit to the side is because I'm starting to get very overwhelmed with multiple things I'm involved with right now. I will never get rid of my blog because I really enjoy posting...but realistically I just can't keep up with posting multiple times a week anymore. I guess thats just life eh? it catches up with us hehe.

As you may or may not know, I will have a line of exclusive product through Prima being sold in Michaels next year so naturally that has taken time away from things. But in addition to that I am working on a line of product that will debut in the Prima booth this Winter at CHA. I'm not sure if I mentioned this already, but I signed a contract to write another book--can't spill any details yet but you will see it in January :D...I'm hard at work trying to get that done. I also have a 3 page article to write for Entre Artiste magazine...and if that wasn't enough to excuse my absense hehe I also  have to prepare all 100 kits for the classes in France next month as well as the prizes and well...of course preparing for the trip itself. Not to mention normal stuff like uhhhhm sleeping, eating, spending time with family and boyfriend, day job, errands etc. ya know???

soooooooo, I'm still here and I'll always be here. Things have just been piled on top of each other lately so I had to cut back my time from something and unfortunately it was the dang blog postings hahah.

Other news--I unfortunately had to resign from scrap in style tv. insert big sad face. I really truly luv it there and I will miss being a fashionista but it wasn't fair for anyone because I was sooooooo backed up with things that I wasn't able to get my monthly requirements done. And I know there are hundreds of ladies who would give anything for that gig and who would have no problems with the requirements so I figured it was my time to leave. No drama at all...no hair flips or obscenities ;) . Jeanette completely understood where I was coming from...I just don't have the time to invest anymore. I'll still post in my gallery there and chat every now and then.

and not sure if I mentioned it but I also will be designing for Rose Moka now! I can't even put into words how excited and blessed I feel for that opportunity. Their materials are heavenly and I'm totally looking forward to it!! :D
I will be scrapbookin this weekend so keep an eye out...I'll try my hardesssssssst to post this weekend! :D

and btw--I'm totally smitten with darryn. he's pretty gnarly. horay for random thoughts.
Hugs, Adrienne
