i like that Michael Buble song: “Everything” it’s cute.
it’s you, it’s you, you make me sing.
you’re every line, you’re every word, you’re everything.

oddly enough, that song reminds me of Dollarama.
i think it’s cuz the first time i sang along to the song was when i was walking around that store.
i wasn’t a fan of his. …but that’ll probably change, cuz i don’t really have a valid excuse.

speaking of music, last week when i was at Chapters i saw Carla Bruni’s album “Quelqu’un M’a Dit” up by the cash registers!
i was shocked!
i was tempted to make an impulse buy, but it was $18. and that’s just too much.
so i was confused. why was Chapters selling this 2-year old french cd all of a sudden?!

today, i found out why.
Bruni released an english cd in February!!

it’s pretty cool, if i do say so myself.
superficially, the cd case/jacket is nice. …pretty pictures and i like the feel of the paper.
more substantially, the music is really good!! bruni still has her calm ‘airy’ voice, and the songs are all from poems by random people like Emily Dickinson, William Butler Yeats and Dorothy Parker.
and along with the lyrics, the cd booklet has mini bios of all the artists. so that’s fun too.

so anyways i laid off the card-making for the past couple days.
instead, i found Freezer paper (MAN that stuff is hard to track down!) and used it to make tissue paper envelopes! here are yesterday’s fun ones:

and today i wanted to see what would happen if i used wrapping paper… it didn’t really work as well…

today’s cup was a gift from mandy!! inspired by my “someone should invent see-through mugs” comment a couple years ago.
i really like it. it’s HUGE! and huge cups are more fun.

plus i enjoy drinking coffee products in it that AREN’T from Starbucks.

so i was thinking, how cool would it be to have a set of mismatching dishes!
i mean like when moving into a new house or something, instead of buying a 16-piece set, buy different pieces from different sources.
maybe over the span of a few months, only buying a max of 2 matching pieces…
then any meal, or dinner party will be more fun cuz you can choose what dish you want, and each one would hold a specific memory…
maybe i’ll do that when i eventually move out.
