I am so freakin excited I could cry.... I hope I don't.......... bring back memories though. Yes, I am in my 40s but I would defintely cry......

cant wait to see this fantastic singer

MORRISSEY..........

He was not able to make it back in November so he is here today.......

got my tickets, and my date and off to the concert I will go in about 1 hour and 1/2......

tooo bad I can't bring my camera..... bummer....

can u believe that Christmas is just around the corner. where did the time go. thank God that this year I was able to send out my cards and I did not procrastinate doing that. some people already received theirs and I still have more to mail out - hopefully this weekend.

tomorrow is my jobs happy hour in Downers Grove looking forward to that since I really do not go out that often to mingle with people. hopefully it will be fun.

so don't forget get crack a lakin on that shopping if you haven't started. I have two more gifts to pick up and I am done. A few more packages to wrap and I will be done with that as well. The only thing that I need to finish up doing is making my chocolate covered pretzels... those will be handed out at work.

okay well I will leave you all alone with all this holiday talk.... I will post some more pics of my cards soon.

Peace

CREATING AGAIN......

so I decided to get back into creating.

even though I did buy some really cute Christmas cards the other day. I have been on a roll creating one of a kind cards for some of my closest friends.

You should see the mess I have on the dinner table. Every night I clean it up but when I bring all my stuff out it's all over the place.

I recently entered a card contest at Paper Source wish me luck. It's really funkier then anything here I posted. I will show you soon. I will post it after the 19th when the contest closes. so I hope you enjoy some of these pics. I had so much fun making these yesterday I created for about 5 hours and that is why today I am paying with all this neck pain that I have. It's worth it though. Some of these have gone out in the mail while others will be dropped off tomorrow.

I did create others that are still not pictured. Maybe this will become one of my most favorite traditions.

Off to work tomorrow. I hope you have a wonderful week whoever you are, wherever you are.

I love sushi....

okay so who would of thought that I would love to eat sushi... don't get me wrong I am not someone that is shy to try any kind of food. I will at least try it once.

So recently I was invited out to eat to try something different - SUSHI.

Now I love thai food and who can say NO to shrimp fried rice, egg drop soup and sweet and sour chicken, but Sushi the real stuff.

When I say real stuff I mean made in a restaurant not bought at Target or Walmart already prepackaged.

I did not know what to pick so we picked a few different rolls. Some of it had avacado in it and how could I not try that. The atmosphere of the restaurant is so relaxing with dim lights and colorful wall art that changes color. pretty awesome place. so I am sharing some pics that I took with my new little Canon camera I got on black Friday. Not sure if I am digging the camera yet but it did take great pics without the flash. So here are a few pics from this past Sunday.. Enjoy.

Dead Can Dance - Spirit

another amazing band. I remember when I went to see them in concert with my best friend Michelle at the time... they were amazingly beautiful.

things made of sand just fall apart straight through my hands

the spirit of life keeps us strong
and the spirit of life has the will to carry on

advercity what have I done to you
to cause this reclusive silence that has come between me and you

I never thought it would be quite like this
when as long as the veins in our arms still stand up
the spirit of life keeps living on

Kitchens of Distinction - Drive That Fast

awesome song just found my Kitchens of Distinction cassette the other day..... yes cassette... I have tons of music on cassettes still.... Im a music lover as much as my father.

- I would never want to do that to you
take you far and leave you stranded.....

take me away from these simple feelings
I know there is answers on the other side of here .....

I would never want to wish this much on you
when what you have is quite enough.
