well, it started last thursday. we went to see the black keys at the new daisy and didn't get in until 1 am and i shortly realized i am MUCH too old to stay out that late. but, shall i say it was worth it-they ROCKED and if they come to town again i think i'll be there. well, old in the sense that i have a schedule and have to work, you know, not that i am OLD. then friday, we got up and drove to st. louis and watched a cardinals game, which they won. then saturday night we saw jim gaffigan, who is too hilarious-i was in tears. drove home sunday then last night we went to the raconteurs at the cannon center, and they too ROCKED! and we were able to get home by 11:30, which fits into my schedule much better. again, if they come to town-i'll be there. i went into work late, so i was able to recouperate. so i had a great time, but glad that (as B had penned it) rocktember is over.

bday card
my dad's bday was last week and this is the card i made for him. he loved it!
white card layered with black stock and embellished with ribbon and a classic car.
more catchin' up
had my sis-in-law's baby shower first saturday in september.
the baker did a great job on the cake. guest book was a brown paper scrapbook embellished with "jungle" paper, ribbon, stickers, stamps and brads.
favors were cellophane bags, filled with m&m's and sealed with custom stickers.
invites featured drawn images that match baby's bedding on craft paper.
red cups in punch pic also feature custom stickers of drawn images.
then friends' shower on the 20th
this is the shower for the blue/brown invite in previous post. card here features stamped images embellished with aqua adhesive rhinestones. we had a wonderful menu featuring cheese and chocolate fondues with awesome dippers, fried mac and cheese bites, flank steak on wheat rolls and the awesome slushy punch. endive lettuce boats to boot. check out the cupcakes-we made those, too!!!
favors were "milk" bottles purchased at hobby lobby, filled with body wash and embellished with custom stickers and brown sheer ribbon.
