SHOCKING REALIZATION!!!
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!

Y’know I’ve heard their name but I have no idea what they sing, which makes me feel really old and out of touch - but hope you have a great night!
Thanks for the kit - love it.

You must think I fell off the face of the Earth or something! Ooops, sorry bout that! I totally missed checking on your blog and commenting on my 15 seconds of fame on your hopping corner of the digi world… so first and foremost, thanks so much for putting my humble lil’ LO up to show your gorgeous kit!
And wow, BNL!!! I so totally am jealous!!! I love them too and they are so quirky cool… which is exactly up your line of style so I know you’ll be the perfect to soak up the fun. Gotta journal about it ok? And take a disposable camera and see if you can sneak it in… ya never know.
Love the new kits! I really like the realistic shadow on the flower… and how original with the paper strips too! Cool, cool, cool. Ummmm, does that mean I have to get out my high school pictures with my collar turned up to scrap now? Yikes! The horror! Lol.
Have a great time at the concert!

Thanks for the freebie, and glad to hear you had a great time at the concert. We aren’t familiar with much of their stuff, but every so often you can hear us going around singing If I Had A Million Dollars - LOVE that one!

Love this!
Awesome on getting your camera into the concert! Those are great pictures!

It is fun to receive your cute kit along with the title. I love doodles & the fun and whimsiness of placement on any layout. See you again. TFS.
