LOVE this man's music!!

Okay so I took a break tonight from all of the Christmas cards and gifts that I am making to check out some of my favorite blogs.  Of course, a quick 15 minutes easily turns into an hour or two and ending up on youtube.com  Anyways, I have always loved playing piano music by Jon Schmidt; his arrangements are unbelievable and extremely intimidating but satisfying once you learn them.  Plus, he's got a great sense of humor!  So, I found a video of him and Steve playing a new arrangement of his "Love Story Meets Viva La Vida"  I think I have died and gone to heaven!!  My two favorite songs in an arrangement by my favorite pianist!!!! 

**gotta pause here and catch my breath!**

The music is available on his website as well: jonschmidt.com  Also, at the end of the youtube video he explains where the arrangement came from . . . . awesome!   Enjoy!

Putting up the Tree

well, last saturday the boys would not go to sleep. So at 10:30 we were setting up the Christmas Tree and hanging the ornaments. I tell ya, glass ornaments and a 2-year old are not a good combination! Nothing broke, but it was not for lack of trying. Of course, once denied the real fun started. And it has been going on all week *sigh* so now I am still debating about posting a pic of the tree as the bottom 2/3 are completely bare. Maybe I'll post a befrore and after pic later tonight.

Hello! So after much deliberation, I have decided to create a blog. I know I love reading other blogs as I get almost all of my ideas from there. Hopefully, I will have something creative to post soon :0)


Until then . . .
