Wish I could say I learned more about you, but I know you too well, I guess. I still don't know who/who Cath Kidston (sp?) is, but I'll figure it out in the near future. Oh, I'm sorry about the tooth! I remember that night pretty vividly - bowling and trying not to laugh so as not to expose your jagged front tooth to anyone. For all the bizarre stuff we did as teens, you're lucky it was only a tooth you lost.
Hey, I'm somehow related to Sammy Davis Jr. too! Oh wait, that's cause you and I are related. Crazy.
I have to ask, is the "naughty" secular music just secular music which some people think is naughty, or is it actually naughty, like Kanye West? I had to stop listening to my Kanye when I thought j's first word was going to be the effinheimer.
Oh, and I totally wanted to be better than Sandi Patti when I grew up, but that girl has a crazy high range.
I do the same thing at Cath Kidston... and anthropologie...
Loved all the things you wrote. Thanks for sharing!
What do you do with all of the letters you collect? I see what you did in the header here, but what else do you do with them?
Love the newest header! perfectly julie!
Kim.....no "effinheimers" but definitely innuendo. Innuendo with a kickin' beat:)
Kristi, most of my letters are stored in blue Mason jars on my window sill. I've used some to make cards. I'm feeling creative juices starting to un-stagnate themselves, so perhaps I will have something to show soon. I bet you have some good ideas....care to share?
