Snogged: An Insatiable State of Mind

I was challenged to create a Spike/Harmony wallpaper for "Challenge Your Mod" at nekid_spike. This is for emmatheslayer.

My banner making skills are rusty and the text is a blatant ripoff from the Fifty Shades of Grey movie tagline, but dammit I had fun making something new to celebrate the special guest at bad_swa.

Also, I kind of want to make this into a fic...or let someone else turn it into a fic. I'm easy that way. :P

I went to a Zumbathon last night for the Pink Ribbon Angels, a charity that provides breast cancer patients in the local area with out-of-pocket funding they need to cover medical expenses. The event raised over $900 on tickets and raffle prizes alone and we had a great time sweating, shimmying, and partying on for a cause. I also won a raffle prize and it was awesome. It has a bottle of homemade blueberry wine, two pink-and-white painted wine glasses, a $10 gift certificate from the Chamber of Commerce to use at any local business, and a gift card for a free wine flight at the wine bar. :)

Today, I woke up and caught up on some TV. I watched Glee, Masterchef Junior, and Parks and Recreation. For the most part, Glee made me cry, but it didn't measure up to the powerhouse of emotion that I still feel whenever I watch "The Body" (BtVS). As for Masterchef Junior, I was super excited that Sara is still around. She's just the cutest thing and she's only 9!

Then, I went to an art class at the wine bar downtown. It's been at least 15 years since I've tried to paint anything, but when I saw that Paint 205 was offering a zombie photo, I knew I couldn't pass it up. I was glad that the instructor had actually drawn out the outline and we just had to worry about the painting part. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out actually.

I also got to enjoy some wine with my art. They had a raspberry wine from Fawn Creek that was lovely and since they only had one bottle left, I got the first glass for $4.00 and the second glass (and last drop) was on the house. :)

After my class, Nick and I went on a date. We decided to go to Murph's North Shore, which is a supper club that's only open when the golf course is (May-October.) I had a house salad, bacon-wrapped meatloaf, loaded mashed potatoes, and pretzel bread. It was positively heavenly!

For those that are on nekid_spike, these images will look familiar. But I wanted to make sure they got posted here before August was over.

Both of them are of Buffy, the fearless Vampire Slayer.

I'm so glad to have you in my LJ life and I hope that today can be a silver lining for you because you deserve that and more.

*hugs you tight*

And ooh! Before I forget, Willow and Spike wanted to say hi!

This is a present for my darling pal, velvetwhip, because you can really never go wrong with a little Willow/Angel in the evening. :)

( Willow/Angel )

Today marks the birth of a very special lady, angelstoy. I hope you are having an amazing one!

Also, Angel wanted to say hi...
He put a lot of work in at the gym just to be ready for your birthday (but also because he wanted to rub Spike's face in it.)

The delightful snowpuppies is celebrating her birthday today. And for her gift, she asked me to create a banner for her that would serve as a header for one of my favorite fics that she's written. It was hard to pick one, but I decided to go for the deliciously dark: Better Than.

I hope I captured the feel of your story, sweetie, and I hope you have an awesome day!

nekid_spike is running a Fic/Art Tag Team this month and I signed up as an artist for it. My partner was maryperk73703 and our prompt was "Just A Little Nibble."

PS. Prepare for a little shock and awe on my end, because it is Spuffy-centric. But Mary's awesome so I don't mind doing a little sacrificing.
