Hi friends! I hope you had a fabulous weekend! Mine was jam packed with fun things to do and friends to see and junk food to eat, and everything amazing! I don't have a card to share today since I was too busy to make anything. I wanted to share some pictures with you, though, if that's okay! Saturday I spent all day with some of my stamping friends! I've known most of this group for 16 years now! Wow. We had a fantastic time catching up, stamping and learning. Awesome day.
Sunday the DH and I spent the day in Berkeley and then ended the day by going to see Adele in concert at the Greek Theater! OMG. The concert was postponed from June when we were originally supposed to see her. It was well worth the wait! Her voice is really indescribable. 1000% better in person than on the CD. Truly a gift. I have no words really. It was an intimate show outside under the stars on a beautiful full-moon evening. It was magical. I won't forget it!
First stop yesterday morning was at one of my FAVORITE crafty hangouts - Scrapbook Territory! Yeah! They just got in a truckload of the new My Mind's Eye Lost and Found 2 collection. WOWZA! I think I went overboard and bought some of each color palette. YUM. Here's just a little taste of that goodness:
And I found this...Stamping Anya! I hadn't seen her before...and I got the last one! She will be fun to color up with my Copics for sure!
While I was shopping and talking...I had the best timing, since the Cupkate's Cupcake truck pulled up right outside! Kristen ran out and got us cupcakes...(Thanks Kristen!) and I chose the Salted Caramel version... Now I'm not sure what could be better than having cupcakes AT the paper store???
You guys are probably wondering where the DH was during all this? He nicely dropped me off and then went off scouting out some photo opportunities down by the Marina where you have the perfect view of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco! He came back for me later. If you are ever anywhere near Berkeley you HAVE to stop at this store!
This is a super cool display that has every color of the Tim Holtz Distress inks so you can see how the colors look next to each other. I love the graphic-ness of it all...
There were some ladies working on amazing scrapbooks at the work tables. I had to take a photo of this creation. LOVE the yellow and grey together and all those patterns working together. I am inspired by this...so you may see some yellow coming soon!
And....finally....the highlight of the entire weekend! The Adele Concert! It was very hard to take pictures with such low light, but I got a few that capture the essence of the evening. She was wonderful. Her personality is spunky and delightful at the same time...warm and sassy at the same time. LOVE. Didn't think it was possible for me to be enamored more with her, but after this...I am.
Here's a video to share too! Keep in mind that videography is NOT my specialty! hahaha. She saved this song until the very very end...just when everyone was about to go crazy from not hearing it!
The concert venue is actually on the campus of my college! It was such a gorgeous evening, so after the concert we walked through campus taking night photos and trying to capture the cool full moon! That's the moon in the right of the photo. I didn't want to go home...I wanted to stay out all night!
On our way out of town to drive home we HAD to stop for a snack! I am one hundred percent certain that I am too old to be eating Strawberry Pie and soda at midnight! But I did it anyway! Sometimes you gotta be crazy.
Thank you so much for letting me share this all with you! I hope you like my little story and the pictures. Wednesday is the TE monthly blog hop and I have a card all ready for you! I hope that you have a great week!
OMG! Amazing weekend you had! I LOVE Adele! I am so jealous! Thanks for sharing your fabulous pics.
