The Digit-al Dozen Does Countries & Cultures--Greece!
Hi Everyone Happy Friday!! Today is the last day of the great Digit-al Dozen Countries & Cultures week and I'm showcasing Superficially Colorful's Serene with Elevation's Yet's Oceanside Vacation. I super love both of these polishes and you all know how much I love to stamp over glitters!! I just felt like these two together had a Mediterranean feel and perfect for this week's challenge.
I love how you can see the glitters through this tile like design
Even more so how the color changes to a darker blue when it's cold!
super beautiful look made easy!

The Digit-al Dozen Does Countries & Cultures--Native American!
Hi Everyone! Sorry for sure a late post today but my mani totally did not turn out :( Once again Kleancolor metallics ruined a great design! UG! Curse you Kleancolor! After this I'm getting smart and just flat out tossing these babies out!
So I attempted to do some cool Native American tribal nails last night with one of my new Marianne plates and it looked great until the topcoat hit it! UG!
I promised I'd share fails alongside the successes though so here's my Digit-al Dozen Does Countries & Cultures mani for day 4
I really want to try this again with some better polishes. Maybe I will this weekend and we can compare which ones are better!
I'm sure my friends have come up with something much better so let's head over and take a look!

The Digit-al Dozen Does Countries & Cultures--Columbia!
Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! So when this week was looming in front of me I was actually thinking of not doing it! It just seemed too hard to come up with some fabulous designs and ideas. My friend Sheila from Pointless Cafe was really encouraging and helpful so I knew I had to do something as a little shout out to her. Something you may not know about her--that woman LOVES coffee! Love, Love, LOVES it! She and I are on the total opposite spectrums of our coffee drinking too. For me the paler the better, the sweeter the better and yep the colder the better for me! She loves her black with no additives--UG. I put this mani together to celebrate the best of both worlds--light with tons of cream and sugar and black, black, black!
This one's for you Sheila!
I found the coffee stamping in the pink CiCi & SiSi set and had to doctor up BM01 to get my Columbia accent nails
Ahhhh blessed, blessed coffee how we all adore you!
Let's check out what everyone else did for today--this week we are rocking it and kicking butt once again in the group!

The Digit-al Dozen Does countries & Cultures--Redneck!
Hi Everyone. Today is a sad day for me. Today marks the day my sister finally succumbed to her breast cancer after battling it for 8 long years. This is the 5th anniversary of her death. It's hard to believe 5 years have gone by. 5 long years without my sister and my best friend. People try to tell you stupid things when someone you love dies like time heals all wounds, but it doesn't. Time can heal a physical wound but no amount of time can ever fill the gaping hole left in your heart.
I wasn't sure how I would feel about Digit-al Dozen today. I wasn't sure I would even feel like participating in this week. So I played it by ear. I didn't commit to anything and I cried alot. My sister didn't like us to cry over her, she tried to shield us from the pain, she tried to comfort us even in the very end. But you do cry and we will continue to cry. She also would have been hacked off at me for not participating today or this whole week. So I need to pick my sad self up--stiff upper lip it--and git 'er done.
Lisa loved to wear pink camo! I made fun of her for it all the time. "Lisa" I would say, "there are no pink trees! there is no pink grass" but she wore it anyway. Camouflage is actually a long standing joke in my family. When I was in high school I was on a camo pants kick before it was even "in"! I wore camo pants all the time and my dad would tease me and say "I can't see you from the waist down". I bought my dad tons of camo things thermos' for work, lunch bags, a little camo travel clock for him to take hunting--you name it, if it had camo on it I bought it for him.
When it finally got "in" like 20 years after I made it cool, Lisa started to wear it. She actually had this little half camo jacket! We used to tease her and call it a "jack" because it wasn't a full jacket. She had a lot of those little "jacks" LOL. She was actually very stylish.
She was beautiful, and funny. She was kind and loved with her whole heart. She was one of the best parts of my life for 44 years. Living without her is hard--there are times you just need your best friend. You just want to pick up the phone and say "hey guess what happened today" but you can't. The hardest thing about living after someone you love dies is actually living.
I remember everything about her. Am glad to have shared 44 wonderful years with her but I do long for the day we can one day be together again.
Today in honor and memory of my beautiful sister, Lisa Gage, I'm wearing some pink camo right along with my regular camo
Here's a picture of me with my beautiful sister's when we were on vacation in Florida-I'm in the middle, Lynelle my little sister is on the left and Lisa in her camo and "jack" is on the right
Many thanks to my sweet Digit-al Dozen family for letting me do whatever I wanted to do today

The Digit-al Dozen Does Countries & Cultures--Queen Of The Nile!
Hi Everyone!! Happy Monday! This week is a Digit-al Dozen week and man was this one hard! You know we have these themes picked out way in advance and you look at it and go okay no problem, then it's upon you and go what the french am I doing??? I had to dig deep for this theme and I sure hope everyone thinks I did my wonderful Digit-al Dozen group proud!
First up is Ancient Egypt. Why ancient instead of modern times--simple I have Messy Mansion plate I bought ages ago and I said I was going to start using images and plates I haven't ever used--so thank you Digit-al Dozen for getting my rear in gear with this one!
I stamped today with MM32 over a gradient of OPI Live, Love, Carnaval. Zoya Robyn and White. I did the decal method for Cleopatra AND no bubbles for the first time! Woot!
I don't know why it took me so long to try out this plate--this came out fabulous!
I think this week is going to be a good one for Digit-al Dozen, with themes like this you never know what everyone is going to come up with. Let's head over and see what everyone else did for today!
