I am so behind on posting....but wanted to take time to remeber Patrick Swayze. I have to say the most memorable role he played (for me) is Dirty Dancing. I loved that movie. I can't believe that it was 1987 when the movie debuted and I was only in the 7th grade. I loved the chemistry between him and Jennifer Grey. "Nobody puts Baby in a corner!" I can still hear him sing "She's Like The Wind".
Okay, so I was updating my FaceBook last night when I came across an advertisement for the NEW Melrose Place. What?? Was my first reaction. Seriously, a NEW Melrose Place? What could possibly be better than the original which, first aired July 8, 1992 and ran for 7 seasons. I didn't think anything of it. I made a comment on my FB and that was it...never thought of it again. Until my BFF called me and reminded me that it was on TV. Wow! Boy did that bring back memories of us watching Melrose Place faithfully EVERY Monday night! Oh how I loved the night time soap. I couldn't get enough of the the twists and turns and the lying, cheating and back stabbing. Amanda Woodward (Heather Locklear) was a "Guest" star all 7 seasons! She was my favorite character.
Michael Mancini and SyndeyAndrews were on last night's first Pilot episode. Wow! It does not look like they have aged one bit! I would love to drink from their fountain of youth. Poor Sydney never got a break and she was so misunderstood. I can't believe that she was on the first NEW Melrose Place episode. She was killed in a car accident on her wedding day in the Series Finale (May 24, 1999). I guess talking to my BFF on the phone and watching the NEW Melrose Place I missed the whole conversation where Micheal Mancini helped FAKE her death. And she lived.....only to die, again! Poor Sydney!
So here's to the NEW Melrose Place. I doubt it will ever live up to the original. I may try to suffer thru a few of the episodes to see if I can get into it. Honestly, I would rather buy the original Melrose Place series on DVD and watch them all at once. I already have season 1 and have alread watched it. Now, I need to buy seasons 2-7..JPG)
Robin hosted a Home Workshop on August 22, 2009. We created 6 cards using papers from the Bella Reflections Level II Paper Pak. This has become my all time favorite paper!!! I think what I like most is the Smokey Plum. I forget how much I like this color. Robin had several friends come over for this card workshop..JPG)
Robin treated us like queens! We had so much food and all of it was delicious! I had to taste test everything. Her husband was an awesome host and he didn't seem to mind that he had a house full of women..JPG)
There were several animals running around (Robin loves animals!)...but there was one particular cat that loved my bag. He spent most of the time curled up at the bottom of my roller bag and he didn't seem to mind that he was squished..JPG)
I would like to thank all of the ladies that were there. I appreciate each of you taking the time to come to a crafty party and spend the afternoon with me. I hope I was able to teach you a little about Close To My Heart products and the love I have for the products.
