My dress shadow box

I made this dress/shadow box for an upcoming demo I will be doing at RED LEAD PAPERWORKS here in M.O.

I thinks it's in October. I enjoyed making this and I hope you all come down in Oct. to see how I made it.

They came and now they are gone

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! What a great Anniversary date my husband and I had at COLD PLAYS concert last night....

It started off with an early dinner at MIMIS CAFE in Chesterfield Valley. GREAT FOOD and great atmosphere. Then we were off... By the time we got there, around 7ish, there were tons of people already sitting on the lawn. I remember those lawn days. We got lucky that we got tickets when we did because we still had a chance to buy tickets for seats. We were way back there, but we were right in the middle and my husband was nice enough to hold me while I was standing in my seat so that I could see them way up there.

The UMB pavillion has a good set up where they have these big screen tvs on the side so that you do get a chance to see the band . I wish we would have been right up front, but I can't have everything right.

You know we just had a great time. The band was AWESOME. They sang great and they were very nice. They talked to the crowd in between songs. One of their songs is called YELLOW and these great BIG yellow ballons filled with confetti dropped from the top of the pavillion and everyone was hitting them and they were just floating all over.

I LOVE THIS BAND........... I would go see them again in a minute. My husband even danced. WE were dancing together. It was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! We both had a fantastic time and at the end of the night my honey thanked me for having gone to the concert with him. HOW SWEET..........

What is going on tonight????

Well it's Cold Play night..... I can't wait. The last time I went to a concert was to see Alanis Morsette (oops did I misspell her name) right before I got married and I went with my girlfriend Michelle D. it was okay I think....

I used to love going to concerts..... some past concerts on my list are:

THE CURE, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, Depeche Mode, Sade, Alanis, My life with the Thrill Kill Cult, Sineade O'connor, Santana, gosh and the list goes on........

I will let you know tomorrow how it went........

Don't You Love them madly????

I love the DOORS......................

Everytime I hear them on the radio I kick myself in the booty because I don't have any of their music.......

So today while out and about I decided to look at the cd section and what was there in front of me, but THE BEST OF THE DOORS cd. Finally, after all these years of saying that I would buy it one day I DID it. I bought it and I jammed all the way home. I took the long way home so that I could enjoy listening to them in my car.....

So today I broke on through to the other side and purchased something that I should of had a long time ago.....

I bet you know what I am listening to right now right..... Now all I need is some BLACK LEATHER PANTS and a HARLEY......

ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An old picture of me and some friends dressed up for HALLOWEENEY..... Guess which one I am.........

Just thought I would

share something that came to mind yesterday............

I am always thinking,thinking, thinking, thinking, about the past, present or whatever who knows. My head never stops day or night...........

I remember a while ago I took a picture of a certain person.......It was someone in my past. I took the picture at lincoln park zoooo....... it was just a simple picture the person was sitting on a bench and looking directly at the camera.... simple right????

When I got the picture developed and I saw this picture it hit me in a strange way...... I felt like I could see right through this person through the picture............. As soon as I saw this picture and the way HE looked into the camera I knew HE was not the person I thought he was......... I knew he would betray me or had already done so......

I will never forget the look on his face and this is something that has always stayed on my mind and till this day if I ever find that picture I will know that I was right........... I captured a LIAR/BETRAYER

Another line from a favorite

This is kind of childish hugh???? I guess I am a big kid at heart just like my dad...........

Hopefully this will get you in the Halloween spirit. This is a picture of my friends birthday/halloween party when she turned 30. Check out the boobs on the girl in the middle.....

I think mine are probably that low as welllllll.

Just kidding.................

I think it's time

for what???? To bring out my HALLOWEEN decor. I have been patinetly waiting, but I think I won't wait any longer.

I love Halloween...................I don't go all out as I would like to, but I do decorate and who knows I am sure there are a few neighbors that might think of me as a little kooky, but who cares. It's just a great day to enjoy and have fun.......

Inspire tag

I made this awhile ago...........

COLDPLAY-----YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Counting down the days

I am counting down the days till this coming Sat. when my husband and I will go see COLDPLAY in concert.......

We love this band.....I can count on one hand the things that we both like..... so for me this is biggg. We are sooo soooo different, but one thing is for sure we will be rocking this coming SATURDAY.....

Let the countdown begin...

Have you all

seen the beautiful crescent moon we have had in the last few nights. When I have had a chance to contemplate it it has been a beautiful orange color......................

If you get a chance check it out tonight. It only takes a few minutes and I hope you enjoy it's beauty...

Have a great day today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Books A Million

Feel the vibes......

I don't know if I have a way of communicating with people through my thoughts, but it sometimes seems to work......

I had not heard from my friend JLO in a few days OR WEEKS (right Jennifer)... well I will get on with my story here. I was at RLs atc night and she came up in the conversation as I was telling the other ladies that she had not called me in a while. If someone does not call me in a while, not to be mean, but I take it as they need space so even if I would like to call that person to say HELLO or HOW ARE YOU I tend to not call them until they call me...... Pls don't take this as me being mean I don't want to be a pest..............

Yesterday I almost picked up the phone to call JLO, but I said she is probably at work or busy so I won't. Well, who calls me that same day a few hours later, but my BEST OLD FRIEND JLO....

I swear that this always happens between me and her and sometimes other people. Don't know if they feel me thinking about them or what.......

What do you think????????

Another thing that usually happens is that before my children wake up in the middle of the night for whatever reason I always wake up before them and I am waiting for them to come into my room. I sense them before they even get there......

Maybe, I am a bit psychic or maybe I have to much time on my hands to think about this stuff as my husband says................ What does he know.........

My Frida atc just for you Sharon

Is it fall yet??????

I am ready.............. Ready to start bringing out my Halloween decorations, ready for the cooler days and extra cool nights............... I am ready to wear my sweaters and hopefully, if it's still there, ready to wear this cute looking shawl thingy I want to purchase at Marshalls............

I am ready to see the leaves on every tree in M.O. turn yellow, orange, red, purple........................

I am seriously ready.............are you???????

Have a wonderful day

I fell in love yesterday

A couple of weeks ago at the Wentzville flea market, on one of our treasure hunting adventures, my son stopped at one of the tables that had very interesting rocks. My son LOVES rocks. He probably has two dresser drawers full of interesting rocks with crystals in them or some kind of fossil imprints.

Well, while we were looking at these rocks a man stopped to talk to us about rocks and how he collected them as a young man and how he still is interested in rocks till this day. He told us that a good place to go find interesting rocks was in GRAFTON, IL. Our adventures took us to Grafton yesterday.

Where the heck were we going to start looking for these rocks he told us about. I stopped at the information building really not knowing what to say or ask, she was nice enough to direct us to a dried up creek somewhere in town.

We decided to take the scenic route along the river all the way to Alton which was very pretty. Something that we usually don't do that often and we should. It was just a beautiful drive.

On our way to Alton I happened to look to the left and saw this cute little town and I told my husband to pls stop there on our way back.

This little town which is really a village is called THE VILLAGE OF ELSAH.................

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL...........I think I fell IN LOVE with this little village as soon as we turned into it. It has all these old homes with the white fences and cute little doors decorated with wreaths. It was just right out of a magazine. We stopped at this little park right in the middle of the village and we found a little creek with a bridge and of course we went on our rock hunting.

It was so peacful and quiet. I swear that you would love it if you went........... I don't know, but it left a big impression on me. I would leave in a minute to live there. I really enjoyed being there even if it was for a short visit.

Our adventure to GRAFTON, IL. for rocks became much more for me. If you ever take a drive to Grafton or Alton, IL remember to take a few minutes to go and see this cute little village. I swear I felt like I was in the twilight zone somewhere in another dimension.............

The VILLAGE OF SARAH......it's a good thing.............
