Mama Mia in Saint Louis

My sister, Rhea and I got back Sunday night from our trip to Saint Louis. It was just one of those self indulgent sisters trips. We have not had one in quite some time. With her living in CO it is hard for us to get together. But, we made ourselves plan this trip and we stuck to the plans. We love Mama Mia movie and we knew it was based on the broadway show-so we hunted the traveling show down and chose the one in Saint Louis because the date fit our schedule and the place sounded interesting.

Saint Louis proved to be very interesting. We found the city to be so clean and pristine. The architecture of all the buildings was fascinating. This city is rich in history and culture. The people were so friendly every where we went. Going to see the Arch was an awesome experience. We got to ride these tiny little space ship looking things to go to the top of the arch and view the city. Although I am not fond of heights, I loved it and felt totally safe!

Mama Mia was my first ever Broadway show and I loved it. It was surreal to me and I decided the movie had it right on compared to the show. Rhea and I want to be Mama Mia groupies-haha!
I have to say that half the fun of the show was the getting all dressed up. It was fun trying to get all glamed up together. You should have seen the hotel room after we got ready! Here we are at the Fox Theater.

All in all, we had the best time, took lots of photos which you can view on my Flickr site! We met some wonderful people and made great memories. Can't wait until our next adventure. I believe we are taking my mother to see the Ellen show. Mama loves Ellen and so do we......

Such fun! Good for you, seeing your first Broadway show, that's fantastic. The two of you do look fabulous. I loved the movie too, Abba takes me back to college and my disco queen days, what's not to love?

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Dumpster Diving Diva

Dumpster Diving Diva Yes, I have to say, I probably looked something like this yesterday. I'm hoping that my bo - hiney did not look so much like this one though. OK, are you ready for this Lucy Ricardo story? It was Monday and I was working. I parked in the hospital parking lot and was going to go in and market to all the social workers. I spotted a trash dumpster and decided I should take advantage of that and clean the trash out of my car. (When you work out of your car...you are constantly cleaning trash out). So, I gathered up all trash and proudly walked over to the dumpster that I was parked so close to. I'm always so proud of myself for making do on the run. I proudly released my trash into the dumpster and before it hit the bottom I realized I also released my car keys! DANG IT! I could see them but for the life of me, I could not reach them. First, I looked all around for witnesses (none) so I dipped in slightly with my arm reaching as far as it could.....no go. Not

NO WATER REQUIRED FABRIC FLOWERS

I finished these fabric flowers yesterday. I loved the polkadot material. I just used fabric stiffener and I baked them some to make the fabric hard. I hot glued the stems and tied pretty ribbon. These are my kinda flowers......I can't kill these. Just dust and go. LOL Then after thinking about it a bit, I decided to make some round ones....kinda like pansies. That was not enough though.....I wanted them to be sort of primitive so I tea dyed them and baked them to stiffen. I also added polyurthane.....which by the way, I don't like as it seems to have a very mild stickiness even after they dried. So we live and learn....anyway....here they are. Then I decided to so something else with fabric....something different and unique. Oh my goodness, sometimes I can't leave well enough alone. I do not like this creation but I like the concept so I might have to play with the idea some more. I wanted to make a fabric sculpture piece of art that you could hang on the wall. This is
