Waiting is so...

Today I was wishing... hoping... and waiting. Waiting for my Gina K Designs Pure Luxury Cardstock to arrive!!! I have the Copic markers... but "sigh"... no paper good enough to work on. So... as I sat and wondered what to do... I remembered a stamp set I have from My Favorite Things and boy if SHE didn't hit my feelings right on the nose! So I thought... 'Ok...I don't have my paper and I need to get some practice with these Copics... what if I just did my usual water color pencils from Stampin' Up?! Well... one thing led to another and there I sat, once again... looking JUST like the girl in the stamped image!!! NOTHING worked! NOTHING!!! Apparently, I didn't even have Stampin' Up's cardstock in front of me when I stamped the image!!! Grrrrr... don't we just LOVE our kids to pieces??? *sigh* The watercolored pencils didn't even work! I pilled trying to blend... and... I don't know... I guess the Stazon ink bled too in places! EEEK!!! So, here she is... ME!... in all her/my frustrations!!! At this point I decided... ok, enough is enough we'll just work with the colored pencils (Koh-i-Noor Woodless Colour Pencils). I figured if nothing else... maybe... just maybeeee it would make the table she was leaning on look a bit like wood grain. Sure, I could have gotten out the woodgrain wheel stamps, but... look at that face... did I LOOK like I was willing to go another failed attempt??? LOL I also hoped to use this in the Paper Craft Planet Sketch Challenge that Melanie Muenchinger posted on her blog a few days ago.. but.. at this point, I feel GOOD I just got it on mine!!! LOL LOL "There are no mistakes..." Right??? Yes..??? YES!!!! Once again.. I'm beat... night everyone, sweet dreams!
