KILLERS FEAT M83 & TEGAN AND SARAH

my sis and i went to 947 nrk's december to remember headliner's the KILLERS featuring tegan and sarah & M83. we have definitely amped up our concert going this year and that makes me happy. back in the day we used to go to shows all time. with being a grownup and all, it is difficult to find the time and energy to go out on a school night. but we did it!

i haven't been to a concert in the rose garden in awhile. the arena is not made for music but our seats were pretty sweet. and yes we got seats. we're to old to be in the pit with all the hoodlums. we were second row stage right.

M83

M83 killed it! i do enjoy them now, especially after finding out they are french. i ended up staying home sick from work the day of the concert due to a migraine and loud french electronica isn't going to help but i survived. i wasn't about to miss a $60+ concert.

the KILLERS

the KILLERS were actually a little boring. by the end of the show they improved but most of the band was just dead on stage. brandon flowers was doing his best and he is quite adorable, they had pyrotechnics and fancy things but it wasn't enough.

XMAS: PACKAGING

i swear i do have a life and i dont just sit at home and make crazy things but apparently i dont get out enough. my little guy was my inspiration this year (and every year). i j'adore him. i also made a lot (i mean a lot!) of diy things this christmas as gifts. i enjoy making things and it's always a bonus if it happens to be cheaper then spending a lot of money on something else. here is my sneak peak at my gifts for this xmas. happy holiday everyone!

NSW HOLIDAY PARTY

MARIANA'S BIRTHDAY

a couple weekends ago we celebrated mariana's birthday at jones. just a few drinks and fun with friends. she is just a doll and i love her and izzy together.

WINTER DOMES

ive been seeing these little guys everywhere so i decided to make some of my own. i had some of the things i needed already at home but i had to go to the dollar tree to get plastic cups, small flocked trees, large beads, moss, and glitter from the dollar tree. i already had the tiny figurines, they are not easy to find. the animals i bought a couple years ago at a toy store at seaside and the people i bought from a train/hobby shop in portland (the little people are not cheap!). i trimmed the tree down to a smaller size so they fit into the cups and used the excess flock as snow. i then arranged everything on to a coaster (left over from nye) and hot glued the cup down, ta da!
