Happy Friday!

The weekend is here and I'm eagerly awaiting:

1. Sleeping in
2. Spending some time photo-taking
3. No whines, complaints, and tattling by 7 year olds
4. Using our newly acquired Nexus passes to bypass the border line-up and visit my fave scrapbook store and Target
5. Starting on all those handmade Christmas gifts I intend to make
6. Setting up my Christmas tree
I love Christmas and Halloween is officially over...so when is it too early to set up the tree?

Ma Chanteuse Favorite...

... est Celine Dion!

Unexpected tickets to see Celine live in concert tonight.
She is just downright fabulous.
Loved the many costume changes and the high tech, ever changing stage.
Had the absolute best time singing to her famous ballads from circa late 1990's.

Sweet suite seats with The Family

Unexpected Treasure

There is something about cutting and pasting that is therapeutic.
Friday ART Class: Collage making...all is calm....music playing in the background.

Clean Up Time: Never calm...just pure chaos...scraps everywhere.

Found this purple scrap on my desk...tried hard to suppress the yell that was rising out of me... "Who put this here?!?"

As I walked to the trash can, it unfolded this message:

...deer misis lay yoo ar u g techr

Translation: Dear Mrs. Lai, you are a good teacher.

If Only The Husband and I Had Their Domesticality...

They prepare food feverishly,
(hospitality gracing their table as they serve meal after meal)

Clean and cook with delight,

And get this...
fight over who will do the ironing.

Ah...to be eight again!
