RIP! MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON-1958-2009

I can't even begin to tell the kind of impact this man had on me as a kid and growing up....it is still unbelievable to me that he's no longer going to create his kind of genius. I am seriously mourning my childhood. He was my childhood and when he passed I felt like it died with him...does that make sense...my heart broke when CNN finally confirmed his death.

I loved to dance as a kid...I copied every move he had in all of his videos including Thriller. He was the happiest memory of my unhappy childhood. I escaped listening to his music and dancing to his songs perfecting his moves...going to the thriller concert, my very first concert ever was definitely the highlight of my childhood...yes I am still a die hard fan even throughout his weirdness. His talent will and has surpassed all of it...

It doesn't matter to me what people say about him...there is no one like him...he had more of a positive impact on this planet than his negative will ever have.

I was discussing how big this is going to get with my DH and we both believe that this is going to be bigger than the Princess Di death...Elvis's death even JFK....

Tell me what you think....no bashing please.

A Kind of Kindness


Hi everyone! Sorry I've been MIA. If things didn't get to me so easily maybe I wouldn't be so stressed all the time. But I am happy to say that part of that stress is quitting smoking...! Yes I am a smoker. :( Or at least up until May 20th. Today is my two week stretch and yesterday was the toughest so far. Yay for me...lol...my crazy DD went for a walk with me last night because I was seriously jonesin' for a ciggy. We went to the store at around 10:00pm and of course, what cures a nicfit better than chocolate right...lol...Well I had a sugar rush and couldn't get to sleep after that...I should know better. Oh well.

Here is a card very similar to the other I have done in the last little while. I really enjoyed making such soft looking cards. I haven't really done it before and now I'm glad I did. Hope you all like it
