My First Comic Con

This weekend I spent an amazing time here!

Austin Freakin' Comic-Con!!!!!! This was the most amazing experience I have ever had. 

The first day was all down stairs on the show floor looking at the booths spending too much time down Artist Alley and being amazed at the cos players. 

  
Ryan Frye and Ivy Doomkitty were the Big name cos players there.... Ryan even had the Thor voice it was incredible!

501st Legion Star Garrison showed up in full force, Storm troopers were all over the place.

R2 Builders were great too, the R2s moved and made the noises. Da Hubby said this was his favorite from Friday night.

    

     

I saw a Tardis dressing room, fought with Vader, met Mario and a Ghostbuster while wearing my Mario Ghostbusters mash-up shirt, survived a Sharknado and found another tardis

       

Saturday was all panels Stan Lee, James Marsters, Shatner with Bakula, and B movie King Bruce Campbell

   

The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special was spectacular. I was teary, I had my heart race in many parts, it is one of my favorite episodes ever. 

 

Watched a costume contest

And met some MENIONS!!!!

 

 

Sunday was just James Hong and then home but James was hilarious I mean check out the video for example. 

P.S. Sorry so the massive picture dump but I had to share. 

P.P.S. Have you ever been to a Con? 

Countdown to Valentine's Day - Adult Cards (but not dirty)

When you get older you usually do not give Valentine's cards like you did in school. I did some snooping around and I found some really awesome ones!!

Star Wars has a special place in my heart and I just love this card.

Etsy seller DarkroomandDearly

I would give this to my cousin/MOH in a heartbeat

You know how I feel about Doctor Who, so here are some awesome cards...

I found both of these at this blog 

Do you still give out cards??

Countdown to Halloween: Costumes!

Costumes are one of the best parts of Halloween so you know I had to include them in my countdown.So here are 5 of my favorite ones I have found while playing on the internet. 

I have followed Keiko Lynn's blog for the longest time and this picture makes me love her more. Now if I could only convince The Mister to wear a vest and suspenders.

I am such a sucker for family costumes! I mean come on a BLT Family, how can you beat that?

Ok so you can beat it with Star Wars! This cleaver lady let her children's imagination help with the costumes, and it made it easier to make the costumes. They did a whole photo shoot on her blog and the pictures are awesome!

Ok so more nerdy costumes! A weeping angel from Doctor Who!! This girl provides a step-by-step, picture tutorial and this is fantastic. 

This awesome Dalek dress is not only cute but is more covered up than most I have seen. Too cute!

What are you dressing up as for Halloween?

A week in photos

So mainly this week I have been sewing and playing dominoes but I do have a few pics to share (none of my costume yet...spoilers)

The Mister and I started a marathon game of Mexican Train

My Tardis notebook ordered for my birthday finally came in! (Ordered in October!!!)

Visited Little Punkin and she tried hiding under The Mister's hat to avoid pictures

Seriously look how many tiles we had to draw to get the 3/3 tile!!! That was a LONNG game

Tried a new recipe and it was okay, mainly because we couldn't find the right dressing to marinade it in, but it was still good just a little tangy..

Yummy Fruits for a mid day snack

Missing fictional characters

I do this after I finish a series or a book. It is like a love hate thing, I love getting to know the characters but I hate it when they leave. Like in Doctor Who when the 10th doctor reginerated into the 11th. I cried like a big baby! Don't get me wrong I love me so Matt Smith, but he is not Tennant.

Just look how cute he is, how can you not miss that?.
But it is not just Dr Who that this happens with, I know many people on line feel this way about Harry Potter. Right now I am feeling that way about the everyone from The Legend of the Seeker. It was such a short series and it was SOOO good! I miss it, and I just finished yesterday. I was telling Mister about it the whole time I was watching it even though he wasn't watching it with me, he was so lost! I want to watch more of it, to see what happens next. The show did not end with a cliff hanger but I still want to know what is next for this evil stopping group. I may go and buy the books the series was based on. I am not sure yet! What do y'all do when this happens? Do y'all re-watch the show or reread the books? I just want to know more about them. I guess this is why people write fan fiction, they are not ready to let their fictional friends go. The book series is 11 books long and by Terry Goodkind, I may have to get mister to take me to a book store this weekend. Hopefully the books will be better than the series, so I can fall in love with the characters all over again.

Who knows I may just go to the library and check the books out first to see if they are as good. All I know is I need my syfy fix and I am running out of shows to watch. If y'all have any recommendations let a girl know! I am starting Stargate SG-1 now (I hope I like it) It has Amanda Tapping in it so it should be good....Right?
