Twilight Altered Gift Box and Goodies

I hosted a Twilight SS (Special Sister) 1 month Shoebox swap, where you alter a notebook, alter a shoebox, make some bookmarks, add at least $20 of Twilight goodies, favorite adhesive, ribbon, stickles and other things and I had 2 partners: Cathie and Claudia. One of my fellow swap members sent a box to another and her daughter sent a box to the other's daughter. I felt terrible when I heard that she (my dear new friend LauraH. and her daughter) did not recieve anything back. So, I contacted Laura and said that I would make a box for her daughter and be a sort of "Angel" to her. I was going to alter a shoebox, but found a really neat shiny gift box that I altered. I bought Laura's daughter a Hallmark Edward and Bella Christmas Ornament, Twi Stickers, Twi Pens Assortment, and several more goodies. I altered the top of the box, sides and the bottom. I hope she truly enjoys the box. I enjoyed creating something for someone who loves the series as much as I and to be able to give something to someone who deserves it.

An Emotional Jasper Twinchie- Twilight Saga

Ah, here is a twinchie dedicated to the Emotional Jasper Hale. He is known to help keep the peace, or keep others emotions in check. He is thoughtful and caring. Despite being attacked my many "newborn" vamps, he thrives.

Twilight Inspired Cullen Crest Chess/ Checkers Game Piece Cameos

After tinkering around with some clay and fine little tools, I have begun the process of making my very own "Twilight" Cullen Family vs. Volturi Chess game. I made a ton of these cameo crests with the hope that at least one turns out the way I like it and I could continue. Ta Da!!! 16 turned out...Next I will start on my version of a "Volturi" crest of some sorts. I could not wait to show you the pieces and I tried to find the digital camera that I thought was buried under much craft-related clutter.

The result: I spent an hour tonight doing intense cleaning in my studio (it did need it) only to discover that my digital camera was not in there, and I think one of the kids has it hidden amongst their lego creations. So, for now, you will get a small version (sample) of my crest display. I used a black fabric with red lace. I figured the black fabric and red lace to surround the cameos would to start my excitement of the upcoming Twilight Saga movie "Eclipse." I plan on making just a few more, some for a trinket box, charms, and other exciting thoughts that will come to exist. Most likely, I will make a special trinket box for the game pieces.

On another note: Today, I spent an entire day at the mall (haven't done that since I was a teenager) and went to a store called: Hot Topic. At first, I was leary and hesitant to go inside because there was some "racy" or "not quite me" things that are the first thing you see in a display. A flash of excitement burst in my heart as I saw a "CLEARANCE: 1/2 Off" Twilight New Moon area. Okay, I was sold. I saw all sorts of neat things, body glitter, shirts, Bella's Birthday dress, posters, trunks and much more. Even at half off, everything was still a little spendy. But, I splurged. I ended up buying the Green coat that Bella wears in the movie. I figured it would be a great spring jacket and I liked it. Happy Twilighting!
