Battle of the Names

Monkey Raper vs. The Nites Meow vs. nitemare420i

I have been troubled with trying to market myself because I go by so many names. While nitemare420 in any of it's forms be it "i" or "me" is of course my old and reliable so it's not a big deal. The main battle is between the name of this blog and Monkey Raper Studios. And although I do <3 how Monkey Raper is such an edgy name, in that is it's downfall, cause some might take it as an offensive name.

HTML Tables

I will be adding more, when I remember them. But yeah, this is where I stand at this moment. Maybe if I get them listed and figure what name to use for where or something like that. I really don't like the idea of fading out any of them.

That poor random number generator had a hard time picking a number. So three comments later (that'll teach me to procrastinate) we has our winner.



Constance Muller of Rochambeau

"Hi Marian,
Sound great! Throw my name into your hat!! Couldn't figure out the map thing for you.
Have a nice night.
Constance"

And yes, that is why the random generator is coming out of my hat. Thank you all for visiting. That was fun. Next year will be even better!

One World One Heart 2010

*Edit* Unfortunately I am not a listed participate in the One World One Heart 2010, because I wasn't able to reply to an email of technicality in enough time. (freakin' Spam box, hiding my important stuff.) But I am still going to host my give away, unaffiliated.

I've been thinking about doing some kind of blog candy give away. Now at last something has come along for me to get my butt in gear!

http://awhimsicalbohemian.typepad.com/a_whimsical_bohemian/one-world-one-heart.html

"The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way."

My Give Away
Keeping with my paper craft roots, I'd thought I'd offer some paper craft supplies.

I am offering a little bundle prize of 4 Vintage Sheet Music, 4 Individually Bags of Tea (You can use to drink, or dye things with) and 1 Black and White Photography Test Strip. I'm thinking about picking up a few more items to add and depending on the response I get, maybe even a second prize. But as of right now the above is what can be won! Huzzah!!!

How Can You Win?
Just leave me a comment on this thread with some means to get in contact with you, in case you win. An email or your blog would be preferred.

Sign ups end Feb. 14th, 2010. The winner will be drawn and announced Feb. 15th, 2010.

And just for fun. Pinning your location on my map. If you'd be so kind..
My Map
*Edit, Yeah another edit. I've had a couple people tell me that the map has been difficult in that it's being a spaz about letting people pin their locations. I still would appropriate if anybody would want to post their location, they can try the password "5150". *crosses fingers hope it works*

The Captian

Yup it's that time again. Time for a new post. Craftiness has been in little spurts, probably spreading myself a little thin. Still haven't cleaned out the studio and more and more things keep coming in. And so just because I can, here's a fun picture taken in San Francisco, Ca.



Yes, it looks like a Gap ad, and yes, you may call me The Captain. And isn't the Murial in the background just awesome.

So other then that, there is school in the way of me being crafty. Only one graphic art class this semester, huzzah!! But yeah must get to work on craftiness!!!

Bats, Cats and Skulls

What does it all mean? It's that time of year. The seasons changing, leaves are turning different colors and I wonder just how many other people are starting a post just like this? Yeah!! Fall is upon us and with it, the greatness of Halloween! So maybe I should be doing homework right now but where's the fun in that? Ney, I say!! I shall bring more of this greatness that is Halloween into the void that is the interwebs and the world for all to enjoy! (Psst, fyi.. no worries on my hw, I plan to do a lot of Halloween projects for them.)



Love that wonderful man of mine! He was kind enough to search the web and find me all kinds of Halloween themed pictures. Most of the stuff is from a theme that Target did a couple years ago. Which was a very good design if I say so myself! Which I do. I now have a whole folder full of assorted Halloween .gif, jpegs and I think a few .bimps. But I try to avoid all these formats when I can and so into the Illustrator and Photoshop pot they go and Victor, he is editable... Anyways, thusly they come out as .ai, .psd or the lowest format I'll go .png. What does this mean? What does it mean!? "There's something here I'm not quit getting, though I try I keep forgetting"... What? No! It's very simply really, avoiding try not to go into song here, that it's higher resulotion, which makes a prettier picture and the capibilty to do more with it!!



So enough of my tangent. Halloween is upon us, soon! And so Halloween crafts are in need of being made! I have a few new patterns that I am working on(below). That I'll be using in print outs for assorted undetermined projects. Again from the Target line. And with that I think it's about time to start a new blog. One devoted to my love of Halloween and that way get all these freakin' Halloween files off of my computer and shared with the world!!! But mostly, I gotta see what I got. I know I have sooo many stored from years past. Like the time I made a coloring book for a party I was throwing. Eek!! Watch out for that flashback! But anyways, be on the lookout for when I start The Halloweenies blog!






And now for the countdown! What we've all been waiting for. Watching that pumpkin drop!
