ColourQ #303


Hello....hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I was gone all weekend, so once again bear with me in getting caught up on commenting. My daughter and I were in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco at the Outside Lands 3 day music festive with 210,000 other music fans. This was our 5th year attending and we had a blast, but was always do. We saw Mumford and Sons, Black Keys, Sam Smith and Sir Elton John...oh my goodness what a show. Elton John was incredible, over the top fabulous! He was worth the price of admission. We walked over 30 miles for the 3 days, ate more yummy food than I care to admit, played Jenga with the Rock Medicine doctors and did way too much people watching...you would not believe all extremely interesting people we saw. But so much fun and can't wait to do this again next year.

 Love the windmills....they light up at night
 Milk and cookies make a yummy lunch right?
 Polo grounds....see the row of porta potties? They bordered both side of the polo fields and at all the other stages, my guess is there must have been hundreds of them. And believe it or not...they were kept clean and fully stocked with seat covers and TP

Friendly game of over sized Jenga with the Rock Medicine doctors


 Gotta love this guys dill pickle boxers!
 Selfie before Elton John
Elton John...what a talented musician!


Here is my card for the new challenge at ColourQ #303 and the colors just scream fall to me so I pulled out some NBUS and went right to work.  I used SSS Giving Thanks. I hope you will find the time to play along with us this week! I love seeing your fabulous cards.

I am also entering my card in the challenge at SSS - Tie It Up. Thanks you so much for taking the time to stop by....enjoy your week!
