Led Zeppelin Tribute...

Girl's night out! Another fabulous show at the Hilton! This time Led Zeppelin was being honored by a terrific band called Led Zepagain http://www.zepagain.com They had the band covered pretty well, after the first 5 minutes I was hooked, the music was amazing...I have to admit I was never a Led Zeppelin fan, my sister who is 4 years older then me used to play her albums loud and party with her friends, I had to go to bed and I couldn't sleep with all that racket and would cry and scream at her to turn it down, she just put zeppelin on and turned it up louder! Hahaha!

Well, I grew up and discovered blues music, I found Stevie Ray Vaughan on a show late one night on the tv, he was playing on Austin City Limits and I was hooked, I devoured every blues gutiar player after that, Jimmy Page is a God, and only Led Zeppelin can play the blues infused with so much rock you get absolutly lost in the sound..here is one of the best songs, and Yes, you can look forward to a Led Zeppelin Guitar and Harmonica necklace to be featured in my store soon! Named: When the Levee breaks! And Christy I forgive you, had I been listening I could have found blues and rock and roll to fill my soul long ago!

Elvis is in the house!

I have some of the funniest friends in the world, they love to spoil me with goodies and trinkets and baubles! My latest addition is Elvis! He was a gift from Tanya and I love that the money used to purchase him went to help rescued donkeys, you can find more info from the most entertaining woman on Etsy.... http://www.etsy.com/shop/pomegranite80

I just love him, he is all decked out in rhinestone cape and sideburns! He will look fabulous attending our next bingo session!! He is 3 inches tall and 4 inches long! I can take him anywhere and always have a hunk-a-burning love with me!

The fun never ends here in Las Vegas!!

San Diego Expo!

First off I would like to say Thank you to my sister and friends for joining me on another fun filled expo adventure, it was a blast! San Diego was beautiful and the food and comraderie was fabulous! Mary NR picked me up from the airport on Thursday, we arrived to see Mary F and Marlene there at the Hilton in Del Mar, we were starving so we had dinner at the hotel restaurant, it was delicious food, I chose the steak which was wonderful with a wine and mushroom sauce, the food there amazed us. Friday morning arrived and we headed to the expo at the Del Mar fairgrounds. We took our seats and christy arrived toting her hubby jeff, he was there for the horse racing part of the grounds.

We settled in to start scrapping:

My Seat!

We scrapbooked all day and then Jeff suggested a fun restaurant called Milton's, right up the road, we dined on Pastrami sandwich and Cheesesteak sandwich, other stuff too, but I enjoyed my cheesteak it was yummy and I did not eat the roll just the filling, I am being good even on vacation!
Back to scrapbooking until 11:00pm then back to the hotel to sleep!

Saturday morning we were up again at 7:00 for breakfast, one egg and an english muffin, the coffee at the hotel was delicious! Back to the the expo.....

Saturday night was Hawaiian night, Mary F was working on tropical theme pages and was able to enter a page layout in the contest...Guess what she won second prize!! Here she is with her page and christy is holding her prizes!! We are very proud of her!!

Then when we thought we could not have more fun..christy's raffle ticket got called she had to go up with about 8 other women and put on a hula skirt and hat and dance for her prize!!

It was so fun to see her cut loose and have a good time, we are very proud of her for sticking it out and enjoying herself!! It was the perfect ending for the weekend!!

Click on the play button and Enjoy!

Christy's prize winning Hula Dance!!!

Heroes, just for one day....

Wow, another spectacular show...wednesday night out with the girls, well, only Tanya and I made the bowie tribute show, the other girls missed out on this one, he was fabulous!

http://www.davidbowietribute.com/ states:
"David Brighton has the voice, moves and look to actually step in for David Bowie if he were unavailable and few would ever know."
Yes, he was that good!
This show to me was a real truibute show, Brighton came out and sang in the 3 eras of Bowie's career, we had the early Bowie, the Ziggy Stardust era, and then the 80's stuff...he dressed the part each time and it went over great!
I loved when he sang Heroes, that is my all time favorite Bowie song, then at the end, he sang Time Warp from Rocky Horror picture show and we were all up dancing and having fun! Great show!
Next wednesday is Led Zep tribute! So stay tuned!
I am off to San Diego for a scrapbook retreat and will update you on sunday night when I return, Have a great weekend, and get out and have some fun!!

Born in the USA!

Another Wednesday night out with the girls, this time June joined us and we had a funtime watching The Boss, or should I say fake boss, sing some of Bruce Springsteen's hits. We had dinner at the slowpoke coffee shop, then off to the bar for a round of wine and then we hit the show, fun evening out and I forgot how much I like Bruce Springsteen's music. Going to get some on my ipod now!

Ethan's Tee Ball Game!

Today was Ethan's first game playing Tee Ball! We were so happy to go watch him play, it is so cute to see these little guys and girls run and catch and do their best to play ball!

The first thing Ethan learned: Keep Your Eye on the Ball!

Second thing: Run!

Third thing: Catch the Ball!

Fourth Thing: Play fair even with girls and their pink mitts!

What a great game!

Sad and Happy!

The SAD: American Idol...oh the heartbreak, my boy Andrew got voted out last night, if you never got the chance to see him sing his version of Straight Up the paula abdul song..watch this, it is amazing:

Good luck Andrew and I will be looking forward to buying your albums!!

The HAPPY: I sent Crystal Bowersox one of my harmonica necklaces, it was just so her, with a guitar charm and mini harp on it, it just fit her, well, she recieved it and wore it on American Idol last night Wednesday night..How cool is that! She even played it a little walking back to her seat because she was safe, thank goodness!
Anyway I am so happy she liked it!! I wear mine all the time and get the best compliments! I hope she continues to do well and I can't wait to buy her albums!
