Big Snag

Posted by csdferwEHRTJR Selasa, 13 Desember 2011 0 komentar

Well it looks like my wallpaper journey and my $1000 goal hit a big snag. I applied for access to the Green Bay Scout.com board which is where I post all my wallpapers and ask for donations and they not only denied me access but reported me to the Scout staff and the staff banned me. They gave me no reason or warning just banned my account. I am sure they can come up with some rule that I violated but the truth is everyone on scout creates wallpapers and farks so I don't see the issue. The only thing I can think of is I asked for donations be made to a legitimate website and posted a link to my blog. I guess they didn't like that. I'm sure Fox and Scout are not "pro" cancer they just don't want people to seek donations on their forums, which is understandable. I guess what upsets me is not Scout but the moderators. They are just regular people and I don't get why it was such a big deal to them. Its not hurting anyone and lots of people enjoy the wallpapers. I might be a troll, but the truth is I actually give them some great content and the moderators can always ask me to remove the link or even remove the links themselves. I don't understand how these packer fans can be so full of themselves that they would think I would somehow harm their board. I know they are having a great season but give me a fucking break and have some humility. To be honest, I am not real sure where to go from here, it's a little depressing. I will still create wallpapers and try to reach my goal but I don't see how I can, this was a huge part of it. I don't see anyway to appeal this decision nor if they would if I asked. All I can really do is keep doing what I am doing. I hope that any readers that I do have enjoy the wallpapers and if you do please donate to my Relay for life page at the top right of the screen.

Thanks,
Donald

There are three things that I love to do. Watch football, play with photoshop and Relay. So why not combine all three. Relay For Life is event designed to celebrate survivors and raise money for research and programs for the American Cancer Society. I relay for a grandfather, a gradmother, two aunts, an uncle, and my mother-in-law that I've lost to cancer. This year instead of bake sales I am making desktop wallpapers as my fundraiser. The wallpapers are 1920x1200 but I can resize them to fit your screen. If you like the wallpapers you can donate to my page at

NEW Urban Decay "Naked 2" Palette & Original Comparison

Posted by csdferwEHRTJR Rabu, 07 Desember 2011 0 komentar

As most of you all know, the Urban Decay Naked palette has been a long-time favorite of mine.

As most of you all also know, I don't really accept "freebies" all that often, so when it was released to a lot of bloggers, I just wasn't into it.

I've got to say, when I heard there was going to be a second version released, I was a bit skeptical. I really felt like the original should kind of be left to stand alone. Surprisingly, I was not interested.
I know, crazy.

Then I started thinking.... I need this just because my readers will be curious about it! So then, my curiosity started to rise.
And last week, I ordered one for myself.

And I'm super happy I did :)

...other than the fact that the shade Half Baked is in both palettes. If they wanted to repeat a shade, it should have been Virgin, the best highlight shade ever. Or how about just make 12 totally different shades... haha

Here are my comparison photos and swatches of the original Naked and Naked 2 palettes. To see a full review and to hear my thoughts on the differences, each specific color, and packaging, check out my video at the bottom of the post.

Yes, there is a swatch on the far left. It just doesn't show up on my skin because it matches

Original Naked Palette

**I ordered mine from the actual Urban Decay website. They sold out pretty quickly (uh, the day I ordered it... they apparently like seeing us squirm).
Which is kind of a genius marketing strategy. It makes everyone want them more.
I love Urban Decay, but seriously.
We all know Urban Decay is capable of creating enough palettes not to sell out, especially after the Naked madness during the original release (that went on for MONTHS). I really hope the whole restocking-selling out-restocking madness doesn't go on as long as it did last time so that all of you who want one can get one soon. After all, Urban Decay, I've got tutorials to make for my viewers, and if they want to buy one, they should be available. :)
You can also enter your email at the Urban Decay website and they'll let you know when they become available again, which is nice.
So no worries! Tutorials will come soon. I'm going to feel it out for a bit so that the tutorials don't just piss everyone off that wants one but don't have one due to the selling-out craze... haha So those will come when they're a little more readily-available.

Monthly Favorites: November Edition

Posted by csdferwEHRTJR Selasa, 06 Desember 2011 0 komentar

I'm kind of giddy about my favorites for November.

When I think of summarizing them, the only thing that comes to mind is that in November, I found an eye liner that possibly surpasses the awesome-ness of all my eye liners mentioned in my Favorite Eye Liners post/video.

If you know me at all, then you get the gravity of that statement.

And that there is really nothing left to say that will surpass that.

Zinc Ornaments..or ARE they???

Posted by csdferwEHRTJR Jumat, 02 Desember 2011 0 komentar

UPDATE: Faux zinc ornaments are now up on my Etsy shop. Victorian ones will be up Monday night.

Let's just be clear on one thing...I love zinc. Old, weathered zinc makes my heart sing. Even if the look is a little rustic for my Victorian "looks like Grandma's house" home, I try to get a little Jeanne d'Arc here and there wherever I can sneak it in. As you probably know though, cool antique shaped objects like crosses don't exactly fall from the sky. With this in mind, I decided to make my own zinc Christmas ornaments. I think these large ornaments turned out pretty darn cute, what do you think? And they really look just like zinc. But what are they you ask? They are paper mache. Yep, paper mache. I had one at work the other day and my coworker swore they were at the very least, some kind of metal. Then I handed it over to her and was she ever surprised. I made several up and I will get them in my Etsy shop this weekend in case you love them as much as I do. I will do a tutorial just as soon as I get a chance; I foresee myself using this little technique many times and I'd love to share it with you.

I also made some of these beauties and foofed them up with 2 or 3 different paints, images, glitter, lace, and whatever else struck my fancy. I'll have them up in my shop this weekend also. I got the idea for these from the Christmas issue of Jeanne d'Arc Living. It really is a nice issue (yes, aren't they all, right?)-lots of serene decorating ideas.

Most of my images, including the ones you see here, are from the Graphics Fairy. Thank you, Karen for such great material to work with.

Until next time,
