oh my!

Remember when we went to cruefest? well i found this picture online. I found it on MR. Sixx's myspace. the venue looks familiar. the security guard in yellow looks familiar. He is wearing the same clothes he wore at our concert. YES, it is the concert we went to! There was a better quality pic on there right after the concert, and i was looking to see if it was ours. so i scanned the front rows, and there is a person there with BIG black sunglasses. THATS ME! i swear!

it happened that right after the concert, I was pretty interested in Sixx AM, (nikki sixx's side project from Motley Crue) and so i wanted to read the book "the heroine diaries". its his diaries from the mid 1980's when he spiraled down into drugs and alcohol. It was a great book. i was cruising online, and i came across his website, which had links to a bunch of other sites. His books site, His myspace, Motley Crue's website.. so just for fun, i went to his myspace to see his pics. Thats when i saw the other version of this one. And it looked familiar. I recognized his clothes. I recognized the towers. I even recognized the security. Then i did some asking around. Turns out, they only travel with backstage security. so the guy standing in that pit, is from the concert we went to! So my boss said, "well do you see yourself?" and i found this picture (but he had altered it to the blue colors) i zoomed into the front 3 rows, and sure enough, there is someone with the sunglasses. I am in the way left of the pic. to the left of the island part of the stage. a few people to the left. i think there were 4 people between me and that stage part. and there was one or two people between me and the gate to the stage.
pretty cool huh? i think i will use this pic in the scrapbook. it WAS NOT taken by me, but by someone backstage. but its really cool!

ah, its getting warm again

well, i tried for more posts. This weekend, and this week have been busy. Its also been VERY cold out! we actually had snow here on Friday. That evening i made a delicious dinner for my uncle dave's birthday. We had Caesar salad, Manicotti, and i make my first HOMEMADE apple pie. it was great!
saturday rolled around and we went to have dinner with one of my grandmas. we had the best dinner with her! it was great to sit and chat and catch up with her. She also made us this delicious roast! On sunday we had my nana and grandpa over for Parmesaun chicken. Their birthdays are a little over a week apart, so they had gotten a delicious homeade dinner for their bday. I think my family likes em. it gives us a chance to catch up.
then it was back to work. it has gotten warmer, but its still pretty cold at night. not much else going on here. i am working on christmas stuff still ;) i have all my ideas, just need to get them a rollin.
well, i smell dinner cooking, so i better get going. one more work day to go, then i get a glorious day off!
TTFN!

Hooray! we dont have to move!

our lease is coming up at the end of November. we were kind of wondering if our landlord was going to raise the rent. everywhere i have ever lived, they did that after a year. This weekend I received the dreaded call.
She called and left a message asking if we were planning on staying. So i called her back and told her that we were, as long as the rent didnt go up too high. She replied "the rent isnt going to go up at all" but it was so friendly. she is such a great landlord, and i told her so. she said that she loved having us here, and she hoped everything was going okay. and then she asked about booda, which was pretty cool. so we are staying another year. woo hoo!

on another note, i have been so busy creating cards for my "stash" i added some to my store, since people online have been asking me where they can get some. Its been a busy weekend for orders as well. I have gotten text messages asking if i have any cards made. (of course!) plus, i am working on craft fair stuff, and Christmas.

(these little ghosts are so fun! i had originally stamped em black on white, but they just didnt look right. so i tried the silver. BINGO, now they are ghosts!)

(i absolutely love this card! so did everyone else! it was actually a full 12X12 sheet for scrapbooking. so i cut it up. congrats to my pal Renee. she grabbed it for her Halloween "stash")

(these turned out WAY cooler than i had thought. and i love that! i want to play around with the other graphics i saved from the sailor Jerry website. i am even thinking about tattooing the martini girl somewhere...)

So that's where i stand as of now. But i DID add another post for this week. (go me!)

watch your mailbox. you may just get something neat that i made ;)

yes, another blog post in one week!

well, first off, today is my nana's bday. Happy bday to her! *big shout out!*

another day, another day i have to go to work. but, it pays the bills, so i cannot complain too much. i just hate getting up early in the morning. maybe i should put the coffee pot on my nightstand, that way i have it right there! and then i will get one of those long crazy straws, and i can just lay in bed and drink. mmmm.

on a good note, i have received an order for another 20 cards! woohoo yippee! i have been doing the happy dance for about 18 hours now. i have also been asked by a few people online if i have a store that they can check out. so i am going to be taking some pictures and re-opening my etsy store. that would be super cool if they started buying.

we have plans next weekend for a few bday dinners. like i said before, all my bdays are at the end of the month. and some family is VERY hard to shop for/make for. but everyone loves a nice homecooked meal that they didnt have to cook!

so ta ta for now, i must go refill my coffee cup, and head into work. check back for another post. soon. :)

im sorry!

gosh, its been weeks, maybe a month or two since i last blogged. I have been INCREDIBLY busy! the more people that see my cards, the more people want to order some. I am not complaining though! its great. I have been holed up in my craft room creating great works of art. (toot toot) I also have a LOT of birthdays at the end of the year. I have been trying to hand make everything.

so i see the last time i posted was when we went to CrueFest.. lets see, what else has been going on? we have been homebodies since gas and such is pretty high. but that doesnt stop us from having a good time. We have been playing our Wii, and watching alot of movies. (gotta love that RedBox DVD rental. get em for a buck..) Joe has taken up making Hemp Jewlrey. He is pretty good at it, he made me a bracelet (but i lost it) and he made a keychain. he has been excited since i set him up his own desk in the spare room. now he doesnt have to share with me. ;) and i dont like sharing my space with anyone.
i have been trying to fix my computer. it has been running really slow for a few weeks now. I did go through all my pictures and deleted the duplicates. someday i will print them all out and make scrapbooks.
i also have been collecting coke points, and redeemed them for free music. That takes a LOT of time to do, since i cannot burn music and do anything else. I have expanded my music library to about 500 discs.
Christmas card season is upon us, and i have set a personal goal to make and sell 500 cards! so far i have orders for 100. so i am so very excited! once i start churning them out, i will start posting pics. This last week i made about 100 cards for my "stash". i will get some pics of those up as well.
i promise i will try to get better at posting. that is my 3/4 of the way year goal!

TTFN- ROBIN
