Fremont Flyers Softball 16U

We spent our 3-day weekend at a tournament in San Carlos at Carlmont High School. We played a total of 6 games over 3 days. The championship game was 11 innings and ran 3 hours! The girls did great. We were undefeated for all our games. We played teams from San Carlos, Scotts Valley, and Santa Cruz. And we played our fellow Fremont Flyers 16U team.

Safe!

It was such a great time. The girls played so well for their first game, setting the bar very high! Every year our group of girls get better and better. There are a few new additions to our team this year, and they make the team that much better!

Go Flyers!!

Glee Tour- San Jose

Anyone who really knows me, knows how big of a Glee fan I am. I just LOVE watching the shows, I have the CD's and DVD's. And I have to tune in every Tuesday, like my other Gleeks. So, when I heard that they were having a concert, of course I had to call my fellow Gleek, Debi and we just had to go to the show. LOL

My friend Debi knows a really good friend of Cory Monteith. And she invited us to go with her to the Glee concert as guests of Cory's! How cool is that!! Really??? A guest of Cory's???? OMG!!

We get to the concert a bit early, and after a bit of wandering, trying to find where we had to go, we met up with Cory! He was nice enough to look for Tammy and to bring us all backstage.

It was so cool to meet him. He's such a sweetheart! He chatted with us until he had to get ready for the show.

We also met Jenna who plays Tina on the show. She was so nice to stop to say hello to us all. I really loved meeting her!

The HP pavilion was packed!! I just had to take a picture from our 3rd row center seats!! Thanks to Cory! LOL I thought it was so funny when he asked us where our seats were, and then said, "Great Tix", thanks to him we had awesome seats!

Watching the cast perform was so awesome! They sounded like they did on the show! And it was really fun how they incorporated video on the big screen with live action. Heather Morris is one of my favorites. And they had her interacting to videos of Will and Sue.

At the end of the show we were able to go to the meet and greet. And there we met Darren who plays Blaine. He was so nice, he made it a point to stop and talk to everyone in the meet and greet area.


We had an awesome time thanks to Tammy and Cory!! I keep saying it would have been even better if I had been 16. But then I think I would have been too nervous to say Hi to them. :)

Thanks Tammy for inviting me to go along with you all, and a HUGE thank you to Cory for getting us the tickets and the backstage pass!! Totally awesome!

Italia Jacket

A friend of mine at work really loves soccer. He asked me to do a logo for him for the Italian Soccer team. It was one of the easier ones I did for him, I love how it came out. : )

And below is what it looks like on the jacket.

It was really cool cause now other people want me to make that logo for them. ;)

Paquiao

Tomorrow night is the big night. Ok, not a big boxing fan here, but I know that there is this fight with Paquiao tomorrow. One of my friends at work is a big fan, and asked me to do a special piece of embroidery for him. He drew the face of Pacquiao, and he had me digitize and embroider it on a couple of sweatshirts. One like the above, with Paquiao's signature.

And this one with Paquiao's signature larger on the hood. I wasn't sure how it would actually turn out, but I really liked it a lot. When you have the white background with darker thread, it doesn't look as good as having it on a dark background.




And here's a picture of Andre wearing the sweatshirt. It really does look very cool. If I were a Pacquiao fan, I might have to have one too. LOL
