SO, I have always wanted to do stand up, its always been one of the things on the back of my mind, I just love to make people laugh, you might not get me, I might offend you but I think I'm sorta funny sometimes.  So after years of dreaming, and months of just putting it off, i finally did it.  Open mic night at Wiseguys, you only get stage time if you bring people to watch you, so my plight to find two willing victims worked.  Thanks to Megan Hoeppner and Brooke Mathewson for coming and supporting me.



Ralhpie May is my Favorite Comic



Megan and Brooke Awesome



So be kind, it was my first time, I think it went just OK since my jokes are centered around being a woman over 40, I thought the best part was after the show and talking to the other funny people there!

Sorry if you are watching this sideways be sure to call to schedule an appointment with your chiropractor right away! lol

Things to take into consideration next time

• Wear looser shirt
• Wear better fitting pants, Jeans probobly
• A girdle wouldn't hurt
• Stand still more
• know your audience
• Tell funnier jokes :)

more vintage love

So here is another post with the vintage magazine where i have added my own smart aleky remarks :) is aleky a word? 

Vintage Love

OK so I <3 me some Vintage anything so I brought one of my vintage magazines to work and took some photos and here is what i came up with. I thought they were pretty funny myself, but what do i know.

OCD

I saw this and it totally applies to all my A type students, not those students who get A's in class, if your in one of my classes you are going to get an A, The A type peeps I am talking about are the OCD/A types, (You know who you are) So i saw this and it made me giggle so i thought i would pass it along.

From one A type to another, keep up the good work!

CKU San Jose

CKU San Jose was a blast and I am so pumped right now.  What an amazing lineup of teachers and students alike. Also Brooke got to go on this trip with me which was super fun. I think i gained 5 pounds from all of the great food. Check out these fun pics!

Melanie my new BFF from Hawaii made this adorable Christmas Advent calendar during the magnet board project, there were 4 to choose from!

Can't beleive i was lucky enough meet all of my favorite teachers from the Industry, I tried not to act star struck but failed miserably, well maybe they won't judge me too harshly lol

We have another Great CKU right around the corner so don't forget to sign up at http://www.scrapandpapercorner.com/events/cku/2012/index.html 

Frills for pages

With CKU right around the corner i thought i would share a technique that i have developed for creating your own paper frills, (you know, the kind that come in your sandwich to hold it all together?)  This technique will be taught in the Beautiful Moments album track by the one and only Megan Hoeppner, I just LOVE her!  SO here goes, i hope you like it!  and if you haven't already signed up for CKU Creating Keepsakes University there is STILL time!!!

You can see at the end that its super easy to create these in any color you desire.  I also thought it would be fun to create one with tissue paper on a sucker stick which turned out better than i hoped.

Happy Memorial Day

I Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend.  We are headed down south to see my dad.  Josh leaves for Boot Camp in 16 short days so this holiday is Bitter Sweet for all of us.
Have a good one and be safe!
