Okay so I’m sitting at my desk this morning in my office.  My mind briefly wandered away from my work and settled upon the calendar I have taped to my cubicle wall. Hmm. . .today’s already the 20th? Weird. Wait . .. don’t I have something on the 21st? Why is that date screaming at me like I should know it?

 ( … michelle ponders for like 15 minutes . ..)

 HOLY CRAP! It’s the Barenaked Ladies concert tomorrow!!!!

I honestly TOTALLY forgot I had a concert to go to! I bought the tickets many many months ago so after a while it just slipped my mind I guess. Can you imagine if I hadn’t remembered today? And actually MISSED the stupid thing!? And wasted the $100 I spent on the ticket!? LOL! Well, okay. I shouldn’t exaggerate. I’m sure my friend Allison (who I’m going with) would have remembered! But still. LOL!

 I’m SO excited for this! Barenaked Ladies are one of my all-time favourite bands ever. I guess all of this will have more of an impact on the Canadian readers of this blog. I think they’ve had decent success in the U.S. and abroad but they are like cultural icons here! LOL! They were the first concert I ever saw. I was 12 years old and in seventh grade. So I guess it was circa 1994.  They were touring for the Maybe You Should Drive album. The music . . .the hijinx . .. the Kraft Dinner flying through the air . .. it was magical! LOL! And I’ve been trying to see them again ever since but it’s just never happened. They either didn’t come to the city I was living in or I was broke when they did. But I’m going this time baby! And wanna hear the best part!? I have FRONT ROW seats!!! Seriously. My ticket reads ROW: 1!!! AND, tomorrow is payday. So guess who’s coming home with an armful of BNL swag!? Yep . . .it’s gonna be a good night folks!

So, in celebration, how about another freebie!? I was gonna hold off until next weekend but . . where’s the fun in that? It’s just another little mini kit. I don’t know why I named it Preppy Doodles. The colours and the notebook paper kind of evoked an Ivy-league-ish-college type of feel but there’s only 2 doodles in it LOL! Ah well. Just humour me and pretend it makes sense, k?

That flower comes in two versions: the “lifted” one with the drop shadow shown in the preview, but also the flat one sans-shadow. So the kit is up in the download section for you. If you make something with it, give me a shout will ya? I’d love to see!

So with that I bid you all adieu . . .I’ll be back Thursday with a full concert report! It says ”no cameras allowed” on the ticket. But we’ll see if I can’t sneak a camera phone or something in there! I mean, come on! What do they expect a scrapbooker to do!? LOL!
