Avenged Sevenfold makes a wish come true.....

I just had to share this video and picture with you guys....

as you know I love the band Avenged Sevenfold

I love their music but what I love even more about them is what

they are willing to do for their fans.

They not only let fans get up on stage to play one of the instruments and do a song

with the guys, they also take the time for fans...

And then they do this.....

The FC Cancer Foundation have shared a photo of M Shadows

and cancer patient Lizzy who were brought together through

 the Make-A-Wish Foundation in May of 2011.

Lizzy’s wish was to meet Avenged Sevenfold

and M Shadows flew up to meet her on a day off

to make her wish come true.

The two were introduced on May 12th and kept in touch via text

until the news was delivered to him by her mother

that just a few days after meeting him Lizzy had passed away.

On May 15th the band dedicated their performance

of “So Far Away” to her. Lizzy, you are not forgotten.

Thanks to the FC Cancer Foundation and Avenged Sevenfold

for making Lizzy's wish come true !

And thanks to the person who shot the video

and shared it with the rest of us.

Sometimes you're surfing the internet

and then you find something like this...

In the video M Shadows said at one point that The Rev

(who was their former drummer and passed away)

was waiting for her to give her a big hug.....

pfff that got me all teared up !

Two years ago today.....

This video is a raw and emotional tribute to Avenged Sevenfold's late drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan and celebrates the long-time friendship the band members have shared since forming A7X in Huntington Beach, CA, in 1999. The video was directed by Wayne Isham, who has directed videos for such artists as Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Megadeth, and Def Leppard, among many others. The heartfelt quality of the video is in keeping with the emotional resonance of the song, a very personal goodbye to Sullivan that appears on the band's album Nightmare.

(Avenged Sevenfold)

Two years ago Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan passed away at age 28

This is my way to remember him and let his family & friends know

that we did forget Jimmy

Merry Christmas.....

First of all.... Merry Cristmas everyone ! = )

I just finished getting things ready for tomorrow,

like decorating Christmas presents

(they're fake.... just for decoration)

Placing good old gingerbread men

in my little "La Cucina Pot" by Riviera Maison...

Hanging these little felt mittens on the doorknob...

and decorating the coffee table

You can burn a tealight in the white lanterns

and there's a winter home fragrance to make the room smell nice)

This I bought from my birthday money when I went to the Hague...

(didn't have time to hang it up)

I always wanted to visit the Riviera Maison store there,

so what better way to spent some of your birthday money while you're there ; )

I also bought the cheese board you see on the decorated coffee table

(not from Riviera Maison by the way)

This morning my mom asked me if I could bake a cake... OK !?

Now the left tin is her tin and the right one is a little tin I had for so long

and thought it would be funny to make a little cake for myself ; )

Funny isn't it.... it's almost the exact size as in this picture, hahaha =P

Ok the moment of truth....

Looks alright, doesn't it !?!? ; )

Anyways.... again I'm wishing everyone a Merry Christmas

 and I hope it's a nice one !

Homemade apple crumble.....

I made a homemade apple crumble this afternoon because....

well does anyone need a reason for an apple crumble really !?

But this time there is a reason.... it's my 34 birthday tomorrow

and what better then an apple crumble....

So I started to soak the raisins in rum (hmmm)

cutting the apples and dust them with cinnamon...

then I made the dough....

greased the tin....

put 3/4 of the dough in the tin to make the bottom....

placed the apples and raisins soaked in rum (hmmmm again)

on top of the dough....

and scattered the rest of the dough over the apples....

The apple crumble baking in the oven....

don't you just love the smell of homemade pie,

the smell of cinnamon... perfect, it's so Christmas-like.

And there it is one apple crumble just out of the oven,

still has to rest and cool for an hour....

an hour later out of the tin...

soooo hard to resist, haha =P

"BON APPETIT !" = )

Giving everyone a virtual slice....
