Can you stand it?  We are on the new HIM dvd, Digital Versatile Doom.  When they told us to send in photos I thought maybe they would print them out and post on a bulletin board and do a quick pan of the camera across them and we’d have to rewind and pause and get out the binoculars.  But it’s way better than that – they flash each picture across the entire screen in slide show format for like 5 seconds.  (I counted….5 seconds is a long time….it’s not like if you blink you will miss it.)

I have plenty to do in the next two days.  I’ve been packing, editing, packing, editing…..for my trip to Valley Ridge Art Studio this weekend.  I can hardly wait to have two whole days devoted to making cool pages with returning friends, friends I know online only, and friends I haven’t met yet.  Time spent with Kathy and Bill is always a treat too.  Mom is coming again and then ……shhhhhh ……..I’m sneaking to MN for a visit with Shannon.  I am beside myself with glee to get to see her.  I’ll check back in after I get back on Tuesday.  Behave while I’m gone.  Come on….you’re squeeing with me about being on the dvd aren’t you?

    Oh my god, I was wondering what that squealing sound was that I heard today coming from the east-lol! Now THAT’S just freaking cool, no getting around it!

    I will admit, I hit the pause button to soak the moment in! Please tell us who the other friends of yours are. I LOVE the look on Ville’s face in the top small photo you posted…but I can’t read her name because it is cut off. Are these other HIM Street Teamers or bloggers or friends? Have a safe trip, say hi to my peeps in MN.

    I wish that I had a shot like that with MY rock hero, arm slung casually ’round your shoulder…
    How great that the raven on front of the dvd echoes your rubber sheets from Long Ago.
    You started a Blazing Fire!
    Have a great workshop and fill us in (details please) when you get back.
    Send everyone’s love to that sister of yours too. Still in full Well Wishing Mode.

    I’m behind catching up with your last few posts — Thanks for sharing. Interesting about Fonthill.
    Squeeeee for you! I have to get this DVD — you turned me on to HIM last year. At 50, I have to be their oldest fan! LOL
    When I watch the videos, I can’t get over how much Linde looks like my son, Sean, with those long dreds! (He recently cut his hair short though)
    Have Fun on your Art trip, and send Shannon my well wishes!

    Michelle, this is so FANTASTIC!!! I couldn’t be happier for you and no fan girls deserve it more. I think it says a lot about HIM that they’ve given you gals such a great tribute on their DVD. BIG squeeeees from the Midwest! Have a great time in WI and hugs to your always adorable Mom and Sis. xox
