Cupcake Inspirations #435 - Holiday

Hello....hope you are having a wonderful day! Finally finished my card for this sweet challenge at Cupcake Inspirations #435 and decorating my house for Christmas...life has been just way too busy! I hope you will play along with us this week, the perfect chance to get another Christmas card made before it's too late. Can't wait to see your festive creations!

We are heading to Not So Silent Night tonight, it's a rock concert that honestly has really nothing to to do with Christmas, but we go every year and this year I am excited to see Walk The Moon! Last Saturday Ashleigh and I headed to Sacramento to see the Foo Fighters, what an amazing show, can't wait to see them again in September 2018. 

Golden1 Center - This place is so amazing, I even hung out in the lounge for a while until the show started while Ashleigh was on the rail. 

Also entering my card in the 2017 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and Time Out.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by....enjoy your day and Merry Christmas!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #408

Hello...popping in with one card today, for the new challenge at Cupcake Inspirations #408. Our inspiration photo is all about fashion but I was inspired by the colors, perfect for a sweet mermaid. It is hard to see in my photo but I added several layers of Wink of Stella to the end of her tail, it really looks nice in person.  I hope you find the time to play along with us this week. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your day!

This past week was a busy one for me...Monday night went to a benefit concert in San Francisco at The Fillmore and saw several of the Foo Fighters play along with so many other big name artists, what an amazing show!

Tuesday night I headed back to San Francisco to see the Giants Dodgers game with my sweet friend Veronica...what an amazing adventure we had riding the Muni, it is a long story but I have to say that everyone in our car with always remember Veronica and her pole!

ColourQ #271 and winner to my "name that band" contest

Are you ready for Christmas yet??? Not me, I am usually more prepared but I am not going to worry or stress over it, all of my plans and projects will come together at some point, right? 

Today card is for the new challenge at ColourQ #271 and I hope you will find some time to play along. The inspiration ornament is about as cute as they get don't you think.  I went through all my stamps when I saw this weeks colors an thought my hot air balloons would be the perfect match, and they were so much fun to play with too. What a fun stamp set! So pull out your stamps and ink pads and play along with us. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your week.

Week of Rock and Roll!

Did not get much crafting done with weekend but did take in a bit of music.  My daughter, Ashleigh gave my husband and I tickets to see the Foo Fighters for our 20th anniversary and I had a blast (Ashleigh went too and got the set list)! My husband is more into jazz and does not like what he calls "yelling", but I do have to say it was one of the best concerts I have been to! We went last Wednesday and rocked the night away for 4 and 1/2 hours. I have a secret crush on the drummer, Taylor Hawkins, he is just too adorable.

Then on Sunday Ashleigh and I went to Shoreline in Mt. View for another concert.  We went to the 25th Annual Bridge School Benefit and what a show! The concert started at 2pm and ended at 11pm and was non-stop big music stars from start to finish.  We saw the Foo Fighters again, Arcade Fire, Tony Bennet, Mumford and Sons, Carlos Santana, Beck, Nora Jones, Neil Young and many more.  This was an early Christmas gift from Ashleigh to me and it was so much fun and for a great cause too. 

The Bridge School is a special school started by Neil Young and his wife Pegi for children with special needs and they have this concert every year as a fund raiser.  100% of the proceeds for the show go right to the school so how can you miss, great music for a wonderful group of children.  Here are a few pictures from the night.
