Totally Tubular 80s Themed 40th Birthday Karaoke Party! 👩🏼‍🎤🎤🥳
Turns out that turning 40 can be totally tubular! And I have some epic video footage and a whole blog post full of party pics and details to prove it. (click “show more”)
Big bows and crimped hair? ✔️
Blue-purple-pink eyeshadow done with face-paint because that’s what I had? ✔️
1980s clothes thrifted and Amazon’d? ✔️
Lights and karaoke speaker? ✔️
Lisa-Frank-style cake? ✔️
Karaoke classics? ✔️✔️✔️
“I’ve had the time of my life” and I owe it all to my husband, Mark who brought my dream of an 80s themed karaoke party into vivid reality this past March. And I'm still not over it.
I decided it was high time to share my video recap along with a whole blog post full of pics and party details to share this unforgettable experience with you all.

    Nice job and how to with the sprayer. Your results are great! A tip for you would be to toss those small parts in a smaller container, use less mineral spirits and not have to dilute it with water if you want the best chance to get all the stain out of the parts!

    Also, I'm guessing you're pretty busy..how do you make the time for two diff Bible times like that? Do you do the note-taking one each day for quiet time and the art journaling one on a weekly basis? I'm needing help figuring out how to fit it into my rhythm.

    So the micron pens won't bleed or smudge? I tend to have a heavy hand when writing and drawing and am quite afraid it'll affect the Bible in an annoying way.

    • @thinkingcloset
      @thinkingcloset Před 5 lety

      Hey Ginny! They definitely won't smudge as they are water-proof. But can sometimes bleed-through or at least create a ghosting effect. It doesn't bother me, but you can always prep the page with gesso or lay down some acrylic paint first if you're worried about it! I like to use the pages in the very back as tester pages for my pens...to see which I like best. Hope that helps!

    Oh how fun! I LOVED taking a peek inside your bible and I am truly inspired to keep on keeping on with my journaling attempts. I am a visual learner as well and I an also very crafty so I think that both of those attributes are what have really drawn me into this journaling community. Thanks for sharing. (PS. So sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet grandmother. I have lifted your and your family up in prayers ever since I watched your precious vlog video.)

    • @thinkingcloset
      @thinkingcloset Před 6 lety

      Valerie, those prayers mean so much! God has been so near to me and my family through this season of grieving. His mercies abound! I'm so glad this video brought you some inspiration, and I know God is going to meet you and bless you during your times of journaling and meditating on His Word. Visual learners unite!

    Hi. I would just like to say thank you, for your videos have inspired me to make art pieces for my mom. Both her and I have faced really hard times and, although she has been getting better faster than I, she still has “PTSD”. Again, thank you, I think that this will really help her.

    Nelson sells similar Bibles in KJV and NKJV if either of those is your translation of choice. I just bought one and have been jotting my musings in the margins.

  • @fnjesusfreak
    @fnjesusfreak Před 6 lety

    I was going to say I was surprised that the ESV used "pinions" when even the KJV said "feathers", but I traced the word choice back to the ERV of 1885, so it''s really nothing new.
