what's been going on

"those are some of my favorite memories

all those carefree melodies

while i'm out of  here on this raging sea

about to capsize"

adjusting my "tude" with a tune.

i am pretty much certain that my wrist has a hand that has one finger that has a knuckle that has a broken bone. i didn't feel like being tough last night. why? umm hello because it hurt like you know what when the faithful middle finger smashed like a pancake at a fast impact in between a vanity and a chest. i said an ugly word. (maybe twice) stomped my boots harder than i've ever even considered stomping them. and i may or may not have screamed. like a wimp. a deserving wimp, that is.

as for today.... the finger is no longer swollen but the "reason to bitch" is still there sitting to the left of mr pain in the arse. it hurts. terribly. but because it is friday ( and only because it is friday ) will i choose to try extra hard to step up to the plate and act tough. still keeping inside the boundaries of being a lady like kind of tough opposed to a grrrrrr you are way to intense to be a girl kind of tough.

you know, that decision was made when i had a home made pickle for breakfast....
 put on my red lipstick.....
 and walked out the door with my most worn in cowgirl boots i own.

oh, and here is a jam. for the good people. on a good day.

love,
m

good tune tuesday

this calls for a celebration!

how can one resist? i really (really) need this delivered to me.

ready or not.

thursday is the day!!

the confetti crate will be open

on march first at 10:00!!

and.... i think you guys should come check it out! 

oh, and "like" the confetti crate on facebook if you haven't already.

please (maam+sir) and thank you (very much).  

because honestly.....

it would be just plain silly for you to miss out on all of the excitement to come. 

for years i have said i would own a store one day. 

welp, hello one day. 

nice to meet you. :)

very nice, in fact. 

i am so glad we have crossed paths. 

i have not a clue where this journey may go.

and that's a-okay with me. 

because....

i believe in taking chances.
i believe in following my heart.
i believe that dreams do come true.
i believe in doing what i love.
i believe in myself. (most days, anyway)
i believe that, with God in control, all is possible.
i believe in all of the artists who are a part of the confetti crate.

i believe in happiness. and i believe in love.

and doing what i love....
makes me happy.

love,
m

p.s. - we are planning lots of awesome events at the confetti crate....
several art classes to be announced soon.....
oh, and a little birdie told me that the Easter bunny may be hanging out with our crew one day soon! Pictures with the Easter bunny? I THINK SO!
And for the record.... you are never too old for the Easter bunny.

girl crush. (obvi)

good tune tuesday

so this is my favorite song-on repeat to the max-obsession- going on a good two weeks now.

and sometimes..... okay, very often....
i kind of pretend i am charity thielen.
she's just bad ass. that's really all there is to it.

enjoy the jam.
happy g.t.t. to everyone.

told you so.

red tights!

red tights!

red tights!

that's all.

love,

Both were perfect celebrations. 

For special people.
