Add this to my list of things to do....

COACHELLA 2012

Seeing the images, reading about, and watching video clips of Coachella 2012 makes me wish I would have been there to see it for myself.   I guess I didn't realize how major it was, and how many acts it draws.  My list of would not miss from this years line-up:  Andrew Bird, Bon Iver, Dr. Dre & Snoop (including hologram TuPac), Feist, Florance + the Machine, Gotye, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Mazzy Star, Santigold, The Black Keys, and The Shins.  There were SO MANY amazing acts.  I wouldn't even consider myself a music snob in the least, in fact, I readily admit that I just might have THE WORST taste in music, and even still...I want to go to this show!!  So...I am adding it to my list of things I want to do in life.  I just did a snippet of research and VIP tickets + transportation to the shows + hotel comes in around $700 -$1000.  Not totally unattainable.  Now who's with me?!

Doesn't seeing all this colorful garland make you just want to throw a party?  Etsy is brimming with all kinds of textures, shapes, and colors of garland.  People are so crafty, but these would also be really fun to make too.  One of my friends is busying herself preparing for an upcoming 1st birthday party for her daughter and, in visions of pink, I can totally see garland like this at the party.   Such a cute and festive way to add a pop of color to a party.

While standing at Michael's Crafts the other day I had a vision of making a garland to hang above my bed.   I don't think I would go for as much color as these, but they are inspiring none the less.   My crafty hamster wheel is turning.
