Foxy Friday

While we no longer call good-looking people foxy (yeah, my older sister graduated in the 70s, so I know the lingo, man), we can call this stamp foxy. He's adorable and I knew I had to have him when I first saw him. It's a stamp set called Warm Wishes over at Honey Bee Stamps and you get lots of little stamps to change his sweater, though I could see them being great for making a background if you're good at that.

And because I got in the coloring mood with The Daily Marker 30-Day Coloring Challenge, I kept coloring :) I used Prismacolor pencils on some, watercolor on some and both on some.

Hope you have a great weekend, you Foxy Thing! And come back next Friday when I'll be having a giveaway!

Happy Friday!

Happy Trivia Day

Here's a piece of trivia for you—there's a Trivia Day and it's today! So celebrate with a little Trivial Pursuit, because that's why trivia games became popular. Here's the official story.

History of Trivia Day

The World famous trivia game, Trivial Pursuit, is thought to have sparked people’s fascination with trivia and competing to see who knows more odd facts about geography, history, art, science, sports and entertainment.

Trivial Pursuit was first created in in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1979 by two men named Chris Haney and Scott Abbott, who had become frustrated to find pieces of their Scrabble game had gone missing, thus inspiring them to create their own game. Trivial Pursuit became an almost instant hit and worldwide phenomenon, and the trivia craze began.

I've been a fan of Trivial Pursuit since it came out in the 80s, though I can count on one hand the number of times I've won since then. Dang Sports Category!

While thanking someone isn't trivial (I think you should thank people daily), I have a little thank you art today. I got this coloring card with my first-ever Honey Bee Stamps order. While I haven't inked my stamps yet, I did break out my new Polychromos pencils and colored this baby up.

While I haven't inked my stamps yet, I did break out my new Polychromos pencils and colored this baby up. That's all I've got for now. hope you have a fab Trivia Day! Here's a little personal trivia: my mom's 83rd birthday is tomorrow! Happy Birthday to the best woman I've ever known. This pic is from last month and she's still her cutie self.

Happy Friday!
