Highly Entertaining....: so i took classes with donna downey this weekend..

...and apparently all i did was take a million pictures of erin. hey, have i not commented before on how freaking photogenic she is? whatever. one of these days i'm gonna actually take a crappy photo of her and blow it up poster size and stick it on the bathroom wall at the store... just to prove that one time she wasn't being totally adorable.

who am i kidding? that's never gonna happen... she's on perma-cute mode, 24/7.

<---- this pretty much sums up the {dd} at {cc} experience. donna was very cool, and her style of teaching is so great... i actually find myself trying to impart on my class-signer-uppers (a.k.a. students) a lot of the logic donna was rattling off to the ladies during her classes.

chill out. it doesn't have to be perfectly measured or trimmed or adhered. so what if your stamping is off a bit? go with it and make it work. chill out. if it was supposed to look *perfect*, you'd buy it at the store, not make it yourself. chill out. get my drift??

of course we had to take the obligotory bazzill-corner-group-photo, with ej as photographer and 50 million cameras. it's part of the game, just deal with it. there will surely have to be some photo sharing amongst the camera owners, as miss donna switched positions throughout the "shoot" to spice things up a bit... and as usual there are some pretty fantastical out-takes. :)

peep this picture of melisseR. at some point during the class, she had a run-in with a smurf and came out of it with a blue thumb. i'm *slightly* grossed out by it, and don't really want to know how it happened.

warning: if you are a smurf, or know someone who is, stay away from this woman. she is a dangerous, smurf-thumbing individual. she won't hesitate to defile you with her thumb, then pose for pictures to document the event. seriously, i'm not wearing blue around her anymore, nor will i be hanging out with anyone named "papa", "handy" or "gargamel". it's just not worth it. ;)

aside from being TOTALLY PSYCHED to watch the season finale of Rock of Love tonight (9 pm... jayne, you'd better be watching!!), i'm geared up to work on my LO for the LSS challenge at the dare site. after a day at the store, i'll be in full on create-something-cool mode. watch out ladies, i'm on fire!!
