Happy Birthday, TTIC! Anniversary Blog Hop & More…
Happy Birthday to us! Welcome to the TTIC 1st Anniversary Blog Hop! I cannot believe it has been a YEAR already! That amazes me beyond words, seriously. I am going to do a quick look back at some of my favorite projects from the last year. It is always fun to look back and see where we came from! But first, I have a special project to commemorate us, the crafty Twilighters on our special anniversary day! Behold… the scrapbooking Twilighter: 
As always, my photo lacks, but there’s only so much one can do with their iPhone camera. Yeah – we don’t need to go there, but suffice it to say, I was desperate! If you recall my teaser a few weeks back, you will remember the saying at the bottom: “Books can be dangerous; the best ones should be labeled ‘This could change your life’.” How true is that?! This book has brought so many wonderful people into my life and I have made some very special friends that I will hold dear as long as I live! And, of course, there’s the whole rekindling my love of reading thing… nothing like kicking up an old addiction!
Over the course of the year, I have ended up with a significant stash of 12×12 projects that I really should put into an album for my son to mock years from now… 
(Don’t fear for me, I have lots of ammo to blackmail him into silence!) I don’t know about you guys, but even the non-Robsessed (such as I) can’t help but love that picture of “Edward”. Not terribly vampire-y, but delish nonetheless! So, Morgan over there IS Robsessed, and has her scrapbook going. Good girlie, M! Oh, and just because it is MY blog, and I can… here’s a close-up: 
What is interesting, and has no chance of showing on a camera-phone picture, is that I very carefully added ‘liquid topaz’ to his eyes with a Sakura Stardust gel pen. So maybe his whole face doesn’t twinkle, but his eyes sure sparkle! It looks way cooler than it sounds, and certainly better than this photo shows.
***For those of you Hoppers –in-a-Hurry… the next stop is HOLLY at Inkadinkadoodle! (I’ll meet you over there as soon as I am done here!) 
*** As for me, I am taking a quick stroll down Memory Boulevard…. I did this a while back, so I will try not to double-do! Here are a few faves, in no particular order:
Special Wednesday Challenge: The Cullen Cars! This was a Club Scrap sponsored challenge, and I love cars, so this was a lot of fun for me!
Next up is TTIC33: Favorite New Moon Quote… Yes, I know the pic is likely photoshopped, but we know that TayTay has grown up quite nicely over the last year and a half, so I am ok with this!
Again, just because I can…
Ooh! And this one got noticed and published by an online magazine: TTIC31 – Graduation! 
This one is near and dear to me: TTIC29 ~ BFFs. If you haven’t read this post – you really should. It is super special and I have offered a rare & heartfelt glimpse into my privately kept, little world ~ all in honor of MY beautiful BFF, Tonya.
Hmmm… one more. Yep. THIS one is a fave, definitely. TTIC27 – Jasper Hale! Hale, yeah! I totally dig Jasper! And this project allowed me to play with bleach! BE AFRAID!
Well, I suppose that is enough. For further quick look-backs, I did another retro here. Easier than perusing the whole blog, that’s for sure!
Finally, before the fine print, THANK YOU, Twilighters, for helping to grow TTIC into something wonderful. Into a place we all can come and share our crafts and Twi-Love! I love you all! As I am SO fond of saying: ROCK ON, Twilighters!
HUGE THANK YOU to the Hop sponsors who have generously donated gifts for the AWESOME Blog Candy we have scattered about the Hop! Pop in and show some of that afore-mentioned Twi-love!
