And, I just had to share this awesome freebie with you from a blog I just discovered called The Handmade Home-

I came across these alphabet cards Saturday afternoon and had them printed out in 8.3 seconds. Love love love that the pics are vintage.

Wouldn't these look fab strung up on a wall like this?---

Get yours HERE.



what I wore Wednesday and other randomness...

hello friends!

How are you?

It was an extrememly late night for me, so today's post is super-short.

(I blog late at night and in the wee hours of the morn, fyi)

My rehearsal ran late tonight (tuesday) and I went straight from there to the costume shop to chat with my friend and costumer Judy,

so it is oh-so-late.

here's a bit of what I wore this week:

before I go night-night, I must share this free printable I found over at Sprik Space.  They've got tons of free-printable-awesomeness going on over there, and their latest chevron piece is just the bees knees.

They also made it available in 25 colors.

did you hear that?

twenty-five!

Print some of those babies out, pop 'em in a frame, and bam!

You've instantly updated your decor for zero dollars.

holla

so hop on over to Sprik Space and tell them I sent you!

Of course, you'll then have to explain to them who I am because they'll have no clue.

night-night

what I wore Wednesday and other randomness...

first up,

I've been trying out different fonts this week.

I tried courier for a while, but had trouble reading it on my work computer.

I went with verdana yesterday, but only like it so so.

Today I'm feeling like a little georgia.

Let me know how Georgia works for you, mmkay?

I was a total slacker this week with my picture taking, and I do mean TOTAL.

rehearsal Monday night-

dancing (or attempting) the waltz.

I love seeing a dance come together for the first time.

The choreographer for the show is the amazing Alisha-

you might remember her from this post, when we danced for Mr. Broadway.

the show is coming along swimingly-

I'm loving working with this cast.

took these shots on my way to rehearsal tonight, and yes mother,

The sky was just too gorgeous not to take a pic.

and lastly,

could you do me a favor?

I've installed (or so I think) a new comment system that should allow you to leave comments even without a blogger profile and should also allow me to REPLY to your comments,

so-

let's give it a whirl,

shall we?

Comment with, oh, anything.

the weather where you are,

your fave new nail polish,

something you just ate,

your favorite font,

anything,

and I'll reply and we'll test this sucker out.

mmkay?

thanks!

and...hope you have an awesome day.

Any favors I can do for you??
