Surreal Challenge and some Whimsical Wednesday fun!

I was blogging about today and was faffing about on Daydream Believer's blog, (You should see her awesome stuff) and saw a surreal art challenge on at The Butterfly Effect. 

I'm in! 
I do 'real' in a surreal way ALL the time. For the last two hours I have been colouring, copicing and having a ball.  
Sometimes the best moments you just don't have 
photos for...
Because whipping the camera out to capture the moment can be a little creepy and psycho-scrapper.

Examples: 
1. When your child gets hurt. You want to capture that black eye.
2. When your child is eating paint. Photo first, worry about lead poisoning later. 
3. If you see a wicked car crash of a Lamborghini hitting a clapped out old mini... Irony doesn't come any better.
4. When you think you are a ninja and it's raining REG's.

Soooo, with no photo. Draw it. 

This layout captures my 'Men are from Cars, Women are from Cricut' event that you can read if you are twiddling your thumbs: HERE.
It rained rev-head men.
The beige car-aliens blocked my way to my coffeeeeeeee.
I gave REG a few sexy points. 
They bowed to their Bugatti king.
I was a ninja!

Begs the question:
Do weird things happen to me, or does my brain make it surreal?
*obvious answer*
There would have been no Cricut, ninja or REG without me there. 

BUG, according to Daisy, means Bloody Unexcited Girl. Hahaha. I was nonplussed about the car worship.

Thanks for a fabulous challenge at The Butterfly Effect!
And thanks Gina for always keeping me inspired!
