The Octopode Factory: Challenge Blog Candy!

The Octopode Factory: Challenge Blog Candy!

I think today is the last day for the Alice in Wonderland challenge and tomorrow the challenge has to do with time.

I thought I was posting the blog Poster but instead I posted the blog candy - probably cause that's what my mind is focused on....Lily is the Candy Man...sing it with me everyone...

"Who can make collages?
Rubber and digi's too?
From the Octopode Factory & her cast of 22
Lily can, Lily can can
Lily can create and serve up on a plate"

Alright, it doesn't make sense I know - her cast of 22 is really about 8 or 9 designers who take her drawings and make stuff. I thought 22 rhymed so I kinda of enlarged her team...hey! Lily has tons of followers so I didn't put enough anyway...see, I was right...and yes, create and plate rhyme and I want my candy on a plate...ergo, I'm right again!

Oh, the poster, let me try to add that now...

Gimme CANDY and I won't tell anyone what you did last night......

Alrighty, first of all thank you everyone who has emailed me and agrees with me how brilliant I am - that would be you Dave...

Secondly, I'm trying to blog again so don't get mad at me (for all my Catholic friends) when you have to do more time in purgatory for laughing at my wicked stories...I'm Methodist, Baptist and sometimes Lutheran, in other words, I'll be standing outside your purgatory door and taunting you - making you laugh more - and waiting for you .... cause that's what friends are for!

Third, I have friends in high places (Terri S. and Terri D - I'm talking to you here) that are going to help me make my blog look like a normal person has designed and written - YES, I KNOW - they have their work cut out for them.  I just want to see the Blogs I follow on the front page....for now (bwahahahahahaha!)

Fourth, I sent Lily Chilvers pixs of my altered book cover I worked on last night for CANDY.  I am going to try to add pics here but I'm not confident in my blogging capabilites too know if they'll actually appear...if they do then I'll tell myself, "You're AMAZING"...if they don't appear I'll tell myself, "Terri will fix it!" 

Also, thank you Annie for helping me add the Terri's to my team - I want to change my name to Nanette then we'll be team "TNT" - get it?  Isn't that funny?  Well, in my universe it is hysterical...now, time to add pictures of artistic greatness.

The Octopode Factory: Challenge Blog Candy!

The Octopode Factory: Challenge Blog Candy!

CANDY


Friday, 8 July 2011Challenge Blog Candy!
the challenge blog is setting sail on Friday 1st July. http://toffchallenge.blogspot.com/
I'm also going to be offering a lovely blog candy to everyone who is one of my followers, comments on this post and also shows this poster on their blog. (photo of candy coming later!) The candy is open until 8th July.

Guess what? When you don't know how to blog but you want something that someone has on their blog and they say, "go forth and blog about me", then you pretend you know what you're doing so you write this incredibly funny (to you) and long blog and then go to preview but don't save because you aren't Jesus and Jesus saves but you don't, so then you go back to what you thought you'd blogged but it's not there and then you say, "Well *^&%#*." and have to start all over again, but this time you're going to COPY what you wrote before because it was, evidently, too funny to remember....Wait, I forgot what I was orginally going to blog about...OH YES -
LILY CHILVERS has blog candy!

Sing it with me, "I want candy!", "I want candy." (are you singing? I can't hear you) "I want candy...I want candy!" Okay, I don't the rest of the words to the song - that was the only part I managed to remember...probably goes something like this "I want candy, cause I'm dandy..." or not.

So, Lily Chilvers has blog candy and in England candy is quite different than here in the states. Here when candy is mentioned I immediately think about pralines from Louisiana, etc. In England it means art stuff! I know - how awesome is that! Lily is the brillant mastermind behind The Octopode Factory and she creates these incredible characters that are Tim Burtonesque with a twist all her own. Lily has collage sheets, digi (digital stamps - see, I'm a with it kind of gal) stamps and rubber stamps, with her latest creations being in the Halloween genre.

So, take a walk on the wild side and visit her fabbity fab site - buy something - tell her Gina sent you and she wants candy!
