Spending lots of time with friends and I am officially a Wedding crasher...

Well, when I moved to California, I did not know that so much time spent on my Art was going to change as much as it has. I lived in Arizona for 10 years and made only  a handful of friends .... but spent so much time doing my Art and lots of time at home. Now I spend time with friends and family and less and less time on my Art. Discovering  Facebook , made me reconnect with some old friends. Its kind of funny how some friends you come back to and pick up where you left off and some friends you  realize you have nothing in common with  anymore. I am so lucky to have the old ones back in my Life and a whole batch of new Friends.... Wow..... makes me so happy. That being said, I still love to do Artsy things and wish I had more time to do both, but it is either one or the other... or no sleep and sometimes I choose no sleep. Ok, now for the Wedding crashing part. Yes, I am a official Wedding crasher! Went out with a girlfriend last night.. we were not feeling the Sushi place full of 20 somethings so we changed our location to my Husband's work. He is a manager at a great Restaurant at the beach.. Well they were having a Wedding under a tent outside on the Beach.. catered by the Restaurant.. My husband told me to go and check it out because they had about a half hour left before they shut the Party down.. I head in the place with my friend and before you know it We are dancing to Footlose..(oh no they didnt just play that song) while hugging Grandma! They had no clue we were not part of the party.... ! We left with cupcakes and we are probably in the Wedding Reception photos dancing with Grandma! This one is for the books.... Good Times. 

I did a little recycled Art last week..... The first one is a Coffee Can turned into a Halloween Candy container and the other is a shoe box turned into a Trinket box for Darianne... The adorable vintage cow creamer was a find at a Garage sale for 50 cents. The other picture is of a page in Dariannes book.... hopefully this will be a Art Week for me. And if it isnt then you know what I am up to.... Crashing Weddings.......He he......

Just taking it easy these days....

Made some new tags today , where did I find the energy after going to a Party last night? Had a nice week last week. I never posted and why does it make me feel guilty? Not that I have not been on the computer....... I knew I shouldn't have gotten on Facebook! Darn it! It has been consuming my computer time.. I have gotten in touch with some very old school friends... I mean even as far back as kindergarten. Unbelievable how many people contact you and the circle of people that know each other, pretty creepy. My 20th , (gulp) High school reunion came and went and could not go..... but had to share a couple of photos that make me laugh:

Yes, cheerleading Baby! me on the bottom left..... 

this is what is funny about the one in all red, that is my JV year.... taken at the Mall. Yes back in the 80's we did that people. Notice the neon elevator in the back? Gotta laugh at that, thought it was cool back then..... and the hair do in the other one? What the heck?? I made it turn up like that...notice no one else has a hairstyle close to my 50's hair? Did anyone help a Sista out? Nope, just let me walk around like that...... there you have my High School years.... Love cheerleading, we would have never survived in a competition these days.... see what the girls are doing these days??? Almost like a Olympic gymnastics trial.. nope not us........ GOOOOO Redondo!

I had the best time at my friend Amy Hana's home for her husbands 40th.... a biker party. I was dressed like Beth (Dog the bounty hunters wife) with the bleached wig, tight shirt with boobs up to my neck, heals and spandex..... chickened out last minute. Not like me to do that.. Had fun anyways.... love theme parties!  Love those friends always make me smile......  wish we had more time in our lives to spend together.

Grandma is in the hospital again.... on my mind every minute.... still so hard on our family..... the waiting. She is teaching us something, but I am not sure what it is yet. always a lesson to be learned.

I am relaxing this beautiful cool Sunday evening..... doing some Art and putting new tags and things in the Flea Market Studio Etsy Shoppe .... here are some pages from Dariannes Play book..... Hope everyone has a Amazing Week!
