RIP John Hughes

By -

So Sad. I just found out that writer\director\movie maker extraordinaire John Hughes has died.
I just love so many of his movies and each movie is memorable in different ways. I wanted to be in all of his movies. His characters were so real, so cool!

Here is a list of some of my favorite Hughes films...



  • Home Alone

  • National Lampoons Christmas Vacation

  • Uncle Buck

  • She's Having a Baby

  • Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

  • Some Kind of Wonderful

  • Ferris Bueller's Day Off!

  • Pretty in Pink

  • Weird Science

  • The Breakfast Club

  • Sixteen Candles (my favorite!!, I love you Jake Ryan)

  • National Lampoons Vacation

  • Mr. Mom

How sad. And he was only 59. I was disappointed he stopped writing a while ago but I guess you can't top all the success he had in the 80s. I didn't realize he wrote Maid in Manhattan. He used a pen name but no wonder I liked that movie!

I had no idea that some of this list were HIS movies. I knew some of my faves were his, but WOW, so many more I didn't know.

Now I'm even more bummed.

Thanks a lot.

Kidding.

But it is sad.

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts.

Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW !

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
