“You’ve Got Mail “
..Or technically it should read “You’ve Got Mail, David Archuleta!’
N I C E!!!
~Not sure if the Christmas/Birthday mail is already on it’s way to Elder Archuleta in South America, but Kari might possibly shed some light on that for us today.~ I love seeing the cards and letters being sent to David with wishes of love, support, and celebration!

Roselyn’s Story Of Inspiration
How David Inspired Me To Sketch
This is Roselyn Garcia from the Philippines, I use the name “thefictionfreak” on The Voice comments. First of all, I wanna give a shout out for all you guys for all the wonderful posts and nice comments. You rock! Thanks so much. Anyway, I just wanna answer a question one of you guys asked a few weeks ago. The question is how David inspired me to sketch..here’s my answer.
How David inspired me to sketch
Last year, I was just a girl who likes art. I’ve been into creative things since I was little and drawing has always been a hobby to me. I love it and I always get this strange but amazing feeling every time I’m drawing something… it’s just like what David feels every time he’s singing, ya know (must be the reason why I really can relate to him). But I didn’t see myself as an artist then. I was thinking maybe I would never be good enough to become an artist because my drawing skills were a little too pathetic. I’m gonna do something else when I grow up… something more practical, that’s what I was thinking.
I still wanted to pursue art in high school, but I became an athlete and I was so focused that I totally forgot about my passion in art. I was a sophomore when I first heard about our dear David and things picked up from there. Oh you know what happened! My life became beautiful, colorful… He’s got that face that I know I’ll never get tired of drawing. On my free time, I tried to draw simple portraits of David but I always end up with a mess. College came. I absolutely wanted to go to an art school but I knew my family could not afford it so I just settled with a cheaper course. I still tried drawing David every now and then. In 2011, after kajillions of attempts and epic-failures, I was finally able to create two considerable portraits of David. But it’s not good, I’m telling you. LOLJK.
It was because of David’s mission announcement last year that a massive bolt of inspiration hit me hard on the chest. It was that turning point in my life. I was so grief-stricken because he was about to leave at the time that I know I’m so head-over-heels in love with him. He has given me so much joy, so much inspiration that I could not imagine the next two years without him. Oh you know. (But of course, I’m okay now. I’m BEYOND happy for his decision.) At that moment, I felt like this majestic David Archuleta person was doing what he really wanna do, he’s doing what God wants him to do, he’s following his heart… and me being so centered on him particularly at that moment, wanted to dedicate all my time for him. I wanted to do something for him, something that can show him how much I support him and how much love him. But how do I show it? I can use twitter, but I can tweet all of my heart’s content and it will never be enough. And then it dawned to me… words are never enough to describe all my feelings for him… so I just thought maybe I could express it through art. Maybe I could draw a good portrait of him and he might be able to see it. David is very appreciative, I know it would make him smile, but only if I will do it well. So I did, I got all the inspiration in the world to draw him with all my best. While doing the portrait, all I could think about was “This is all for you David, I wanna be my best because of you,” haha. When I finished it, I couldn’t believe what I did. I was satisfied with the result. It was that moment in my life that I realized I really can make it, and I made it because of David.
It was January then, David was in Manila and it was the best chance to show him the product of the inspiration he brought me. But I live somewhere far from Manila; I live in Batangas. I was not able to see him at the beach and that kinda bummed me, so I just traveled to Manila and was able to catch the Grand Fans Day. That was the first time I saw him so very close to where I was standing. I’m telling you, it’s one of the greatest moments in my life. Seriously. Too bad, I didn’t have a M&G ticket so I just tried to creep the portrait up from the crowd and hoped for David to just catch a glimpse of it. And he did! He did! I was already rejoicing. I will never forget how his eyes clicked up at the sight of his portrait on my hands.
After that, a series of Archusketches was made, all inspired by our dear David. I always say that drawing a portrait of the person you love is one of life’s greatest joys, and drawing David is such a pleasure to me. It’s not just because he has the most beautiful face I’ve ever seen, it’s because he is the reason why I realized that I have a special gift from God. He is my inspiration, and I think the best way to show all gratitude that I feel for him is to put it into art. If I could, I’ll draw his face for the rest of my life and I will never get tired of it, that’s how much I love drawing him.
I am hoping that someday, David will get to see my portraits of him personally. I am hoping that seeing my artworks will put a smile of his face and will make him realize how much he’s done to make me the better person that I am now. Not only did he help me become an artist who is now able to help her family financially, he also helped me strengthen my faith in God and so much more. My eyes are now open to the heights to which I could soar… and I thank David Archuleta for that.
Thanks so much! Lot’s of love!
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, Roselyn! You are truly gifted and we’re grateful whenever you share your drawings with all of the us.
Happy Wednesday everyone!! Still working on adding a few Bakersfield memories so check the front page from time to time today! And remember to vote on your favorite “Field Of Gold” vid, then also leave a comment or tweet us your favorite “This Christmas” performance!
Wonderful world of pics Joanie! Congrats to David on 8 months of service on his mission. Time is going fast!
Roselyn’s pics are so beautiful.
Hi Janel! I agree! She is one gifted girl! Ohhh to be able to draw like she does.
Hi KMB (on the last thread)! Best wishes with your paper! We’ve invited Kari to join us on the 21st! We’d LOVE LOVE LOVE to have her celebrate the sounds of Christmas “Archustyle” at the MKOCFTH with all of us if she’s at all able.

Sarahhazel @11:46. Oh dear Lord I just hope that picture was taken for a future (2013) profect, maybe a new song? fingers crossed.
Good Morning again to pocoelsy, sarahhazel, Sydnie.
I just put in my firat 100 votes in, will be voting as long as it lets me for our GUY!
I have been listening to Forever Christmas Radio all morning, and while i’m voting, makes it so much nicer. Melodies of Christmas was playing when i clicked on it .
Haven’t had to time to click on links yet sarahhazel but i will. Have to get some house work done so i can sit and enjoy all of it.
Sydnie, NO RAINBOW for me either, hang in there’ good things come to those who wait.
cq–Good morning to you’
Funny, but I’ve been able to vote more than 100 votes – hope they’re all counting!
Excited about Dec. 22 – will set my alarm!
And to add to the list of brainstorming ideas – Just because David is gone for 2 years and we aren’t spending as much money for concert tickets, travel/hotel arrangements – we ought to reanact another release party of his first album and buy the CD to help push it to platinum and then do the same the following year (2013) and do a release party for TOSOD to help push it toward gold – AND for that matter include CFTH album in 2014! We could put out announcements, tweets, trend the albums, and have every David site join in the fun!
Sarahhazel, think it’s just my iPad, acts weird sometimes ugh.
Lct, great idea! I buy CFTH every year so will add a few more of D’s other CDs to my Christmas order!
My iPhone’s not letting vote anymore dang it wonder why!
Sydnie,
I hope others think it’s a good idea! Anything to support our Dear David while he’s gone!
The first 8 David less months zoomed right by for me as real life’s been crazy busy!
But I am getting a bit melancholy though since this will be the first Christmas in 4 yrs without a tour to spazz about…..almost became a tradition the past years to celebrate Christmas & ring in the New Year with the amazing D concerts! Hopefully being in balmy & beautiful Maui will lessen the pain.
Good morning to you too Linda. I’m curious (maybe you already have shared and I missed it); where in Cali do you live? I live in Campbell, near San Jose.

Thanks Kimk, he’s just too frigging adorable!
Enjoy your day everyone, back to work!
cq#– I live in SoCal, in a small town called BLYTHE CALIF. We are right on the Colorado River, just across of the Ariz border. We are 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours from Brawley, Indio, Pheonix, 3 hours from Vegas. We are not to far from everything. We got o Palm Desert & Pheonix a lot to go shopping for the day.
“go to”
Lct, sounds good to me. I will try and buy Davids Cd’s when i see them in the store.
Hey Linda, I think we all buy individually but it would be great if we had a “collective” event that music blogs would hear about!
Since today marks 8 months since David left on his mission, I thought this would be perfect to celebrate his service. Today’s video pick from 200 favorite performances. I’m Trying to Be Like Jesus, Beaver Creek VIP

Hello Everyone! Hope your day is going GREAT!
THANKS for the SUPER post Joanie! Larissa’s pics are FABULOUS! “You’ve got mail” David Archuleta…and my card is right on top! Thanks PRIORITY MAIL! Fields of Gold is near the top of my ALL-TIME FAV list…LOVE them all! Play Tina’s video from KC every day!
Roselyn’s collage is BEYOND AMAZING! What a talent…and what a gorgeous subject! THANKS !
Back to Nana patrol! Have a GREAT day /night everyone!
Lct# I know what you mean. Sounds good. Have to have reminder though.
Sorry guys my internet has been very slow lately, so takes a while for comment to post.
Thought it was my computer so my grandson cleared my cookies yesterday, but he said i
it was my internet that was slow.
Kimk, He changed that version of THIS CHRISTMAS a little from the other ones. Don’t know why i didn’t notice. He did that high roll with his voice before Asof played instead of after. Kinda missed those eyebrows flirtings.
cq @12:14–hope so too!….aahhh, the mystery!!!!
kimk–love that festive pic from pabuckie……wanna squish his cuteness self….haha!
That’s Janel for the VPOTD….just perfect!
I meant…”Thanks”, Janel…….LOL
LOL, you’re welcome Sarah. I’m practicing my lungs out!!! We have our first performance Saturday as well, just like David. I’ll be singing my trio on Saturday, next Tuesday at the Orem Library and at our main performance Dec 14th at the American Fork (Alpine) Tabernacle.
Now Practicing “Ring Those Christmas Bells”. We are also singing a version of “Merry Christmas Darling” which I’m not fond of, but oh well, “The Christmas Song”, “Mary Did You Know”, “The First Nowell” (yes it is spelled that way in the arrangement), “Mixed Up Christmas”, “Colors of Christmas”, “On This Still, Silent Night”, “Immanuel, Immanuel”, and “Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabella”. My trio is “Do You Hear What I Hear”.
Janel–wow, that’s a lot to practice….good luck!
Janel, i wish you luck in your concerts. I know you will do great. You have a big heart and a beautiful voice.
David/EH at #3, guys!!! KEEP VOTING!!!
http://musiqtone.com/music/thecount/leaderboard.php
(Got my first 100+ votes in….gonna try again later!)
sarahhazel– I voted 4 times yesterday. I don’t know if they all counted, but it kept letting me vote.
Aww thanks Linda and Sarah! I love to sing. If you can believe this, I’ve really only been singing for two years. I sang in church choirs and in High School choirs, but went many years without sining at all. I was always being told to be quiet when I was singing and told I whine and am nasally when I sing. Maybe in some parts of some songs I have the nasally problem because I have a deviated septum. It takes extra effort for me to sing and sound right. There’s a song on Josh Groban’s Christmas CD called “Thankful” that I love and want to cover.
Choir practice first! LOL
*singing not sining. LOL…..I hate that we can’t edit our posts, or delete them.
Linda–you put in 400?!….200 for me….then voted on the Readers Poll after…
sydnie……LOVE my blue David Archuleta hoodie too! The logo is AWESOME!
sarahhazel…Hope all the extra votes over 100 count…been doing the same! VOTE GUYS!
Janel….You’re concert sounds like it’s going to be SUPER! Hope you ENJOY it…know you’ll do GREAT!
Off to work! ENJOY your David time!
Ella didn’t like the stage….LOL….

He reminds me of @DavidArchie here..
No RAINBOW MV today again, DANGIT!!!!
In my house I have become a silent DA fan because my husband does not like to hear me fangirl. It makes him anti-David and I do not want that. So, I just quietly go along with all of you for my ODD. Well yesterday I decided to show him the everybody hurts video. At first he rolled his eyes oh here we go again. He does like that song by REM, I thought he would appreciate the video cuz we have a 15 year old daughter that he has a wonderful relationship with. He was in tears with the father daughter wedding part of the video. He had to go show her the video on the laptop. Later he turned on Christmas from the Heart. I couldn’t believe it, I had to hold back the fangirl, so If I keep calm and act normal maybe I’ll get to hear Davids music more than just by myself.
fan, that’s awesome! Move the hubby to tears with David music. Pull him in, little by little.
Hello- Dropping by begore shopping. Love Roselyns sketches of David. She is so talented. Joanie great post. Linda,
. I didn’t receive my second FEE either. The 2 Fees were dispatched the same time. Got the first one Monday. The one I’m going to send to Charlotte is the one that didn’t come yet. I ordered one more Tuesday and another one today. I know! Maybe someone else might need one gifted. See you all late. 
*before* sorry
Hi! Judie, I haven’t received my first one yet. I recieved an e-mail at the same time everyone else did that it had been dispatched. They have already charged my account for it.
Hope you have a nice time shopping. I have to run errands too. BBL
Thanks to Roselyn for her wonderful story and gorgeous sketches!
Fan, Thats great. I would have had to be a silent fan too if my husband was still alive, because he was not into music and didn’t like me fan girling either. But would have rather have my husband back and fangirl quitely. Your doing the right thing.
I am sick today so didn’t attend my classes. I should because I have finals coming but I’m just too sick. Between sniffles and sneezes I’ve been watching videos people shared from his concert. I’m sad because now I see what I have missed. But I hope to become more involved as a fan when David is finished with his mission. Go to a concert or two or three.
Hi Carmela! Sad to hear you’re not feeling well. But, David music will cure any ill!! There are enough videos to last you for days, but hopefully it won’t take you that long to get better.
Janel–LOL…no, I won’t dangle him!
Linda–no FEE still???….dang, that means no party yet!
Fan–Hi!…love your EH/hubby/CFTH story!
Carmela–aw…hope you feel better soon!….one day you’ll see David live and in-person….just keep the faith!
JuJu @tinyblackstar
I’m starting to like David Archuleta’s songs.
Carmela, Good to have you here. It’s good to hear that you will be here for David when he comes home in #2014.
David wanted us to go on with our lives while he was gone, so study hard and you are welcome here anytime you have some free time.
BBL
Hahaha Linda, eventhough we share state, really not at all close to one another. Thanks for responding. What fun it is to get to know wonderful people all because of our man.
Linda-no FEE Rainbow for me today either-I’m getting so frustrated, seems like everybody is getting theirs from WOW where is my RAINBOW????? Great post today Joanie, will be back later to vote on Fields Of Gold.
Kimk-thanks for the picture of David from Rainbow, made me more frustrated, that I don’t have my CD yet.
nora lol.. sorry!!

YouCanCallMeTina video & Snarky Mawg audio mash up is IMO the best FOG vid.
It was featured on the David Chronicles at the time.
Sgj, you would think WOW US would be faster.
I just got back from having a blood culture. Have to have one every 2 mos. So that means that i will have one on the 28th every 2 mos. Should be able to remember that date.
Hey all,
I can’t wait to get it and I’ll send you an email when it gets here so you know it arrived safely.
SGJ, thank you
Looking forward to the virtual concert. I might have a meditation thing that night, but I’m pretty sure I should be home in time, if not just a few minutes late. Hope Kari can join us.
Been putting votes on musiqtone and will continue to do so.
Carmela, hope you feel better soon. Being sick stinks, but David is the best medicine
Hi Linda- I went over to twitter for a while. Got lost. Yes you think it would get there sooner from WOWUS. Scratching my head. Hope your doctor visits are for nothing serious. I hate getting blood work done. UGH!!

Charlotte- A Okay. I’m so glad it came. Yippee
Just dropped by to say thanks y’all for the post! =) Thanks for featuring me in. I really appreciate all you guys comments. You guys ROCK.
Sorry I wanna say other things but I’m in class now haha. Talk to you guys later
Roselyn–thanks for dropping by!…you are awesome!
kimk–that’s my fave LDB!!!
SarahHazel, just FYI, that first pic you posted with the long link doesn’t work for me either.
I hope that Dapo DB gets played in the radio!…the best version ever!
Charlotte–
sarahhazel mellow and oh so smooth!!
Hi! charlotte. I hope Kari can join us for our virtual MKOCFTH concert. How exciting.
SGJ,– Thats ok, i was on Musiqtone voting. No nothing serious, thank God. It’s because of a medication im taking. They like to keep tabs on it.
Kimk, Sarahhazel, i would love to hear LDB with Dapo/David on Radio. I love that version of it.
Roselyn, you are a great artist.
Hi Linda, that would be exciting, but we need to make a pact that if she does, we won’t bombard her with questions about how David’s doing or what’s coming up in the next year. Asking once how he’s doing would be fine, but asking multiple times or asking for details might be too much. Just a thought. We don’t want to seem pushy. And ITA with SGJ’s earlier post. I hope your blood work isn’t for anything serious. I hate needles period so it would be zero fun for me.
Sarahhazel, that is too bad about that pic. I love to see any pic of him that pops up.
Sarahhazel, i couldn’t open the link either. Just thought i would let you know.
Charlotte, know what you mean about Kari. It could happen, but not from me.
Sorry, guys….maybe I’ll come across it again on a better link….cuz I can’t even remember where I got it….LOL….
yikes.. on the news saw riots in the streets of Santiago.
Linda, Good. I’m glad . While I’m still awake, I think I’ll go put in my votes all over the place. Be back in a little while.
Sgj—OK i keep jumping between voting and comments too. See you in a while.
HEY JANEL!!! If you’re lurking, please email FOD & let them know its ok for them to send me your email info, I received my FEE cds today, WOOOOT, so I can send you one
kimk–maybe the missionaries will have an extra P-day because of that…..not safe to be out on the streets, that’s for sure….
kimk, oh goodness. Not good. Stay inside, David, whatever you do. Stay safe.
Linda, ITA. I wouldn’t be pushy either. I’m happy with whatever Kari chooses to tell us at the time.
** WARNING MISSIONARY INFO**
Sports Event – check under #2

Hello, everyone! Well, I received my FEE today. It’s just what I needed after having a rough couple of weeks. What’s ironic is that today has been the first “good” day I’ve had in awhile and this was before I knew I had a special package waiting for me at home after I got off from work.. If I didn’t know any better, it was as if David was the one who chased away my gloom and replaced it with a ray of sunshine! If so, thank you David!!!
Anyway, still haven’t watched the Rainbow MV, yet. Better go do that now!
Oh, btw…..I love the MKOCFTH concert idea! I also love Roselyn’s sketches of David! Thank you for sharing your inspirational story with us.
Okay, I’m leaving now to watch a MV about Rainbows, or something……bbl if I can!
Lurker–is David gonna be playing with a team???….what sport???….what is this???!…..non-Spanish speaking inquiring minds wanna know….haha!
Thanks Lurker for the link. Glad David will get to have some fun this holiday. Hopefully it’ll keep him from being too homesick.
ha what now he’s into sports?! dang!
I just finished voting for the 5rd time on Musiqtone. Hope they all count?
“3rd”
Sarahhazel, it looks like all the mishes are grouped into teams and compete against each other in various sports(all this via google translate). We all know David loves to be active so I’m sure he’ll have a blast.
Should’ve put a warning label on that last post. Sorry.
Hello everyone! Got my FEE today! Just brought it in from the mailbox and waiting for it to warm up before putting in the DVD player. Can’t wait to see the Rainbow MV in HD! Wonder if Kari received my Christmas and birthday “postcards” for David. I didn’t want for David to have to take the time to open up a card, so I cut the front page off of a card, wrote the saying that was on the inside of the card on the back of the first page, turning it into a postcard. Hope they arrived! I didn’t put a return address on them because hubby and son get home before I do and I would be embarrassed if they were returned to me and they saw them. lol
Maggie and Cindy that’s great. Cindy glad David made your day today. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
I’m watching “I’ll Be Home From Christmas” being sung by Chris Mann at Rockerfeller Center. Wish I could be hearing David singing that now. Sniff, sniff
SGJ, I hear you on wanting to hear David singing that song. I bet it’s on repeat in his heart right now.
Charlotte- I meant “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”.I got so sniffily I didn’t realize my typo. Yes, I sure wish he was home for Christmas. Then he could go back to S.A. I get a little wacky. I truly appreciate all he left us but somehow it can’t make-up for wanting him to be home for Christmas. Bring on that virtual concert.
Hi
I see that many of you get your FEE delivered, happy for you guys, I will have mine after new year when I get back home!! in the mean time I just borrow a copy from my friend hehe. David in the MV is as handsome and adorable as ever but I have to confess that the editing somehow make me giddy lol may be I don’t understand the artistic part of it haha, still love the mv. tho how could we not
SGJ, I know what you mean. I wish he could be home for Christmas, too, if only so I wouldn’t have to worry about him feeling sad and/or homesick. They better give him lots of love down there.
I’m excited for all of you who received your Rainbow MV. Please enjoy and share with me how great it is. Mine will come soon, ((Praying))
David is still #3 in cycle 47.
SGJ, Charlotte
I was thinking the same thing, can stand the thought of David being sad or homesick.
i want david to come home now
wah.. me three!!!
was thinking his This Christmas would be perfect!!
lol eyebrows and all!!!
pocoelsy, I know. I hope all our cards will help remind him how much he’s loved. I know he’ll get stuff from his family, too, and get to skype with them on Christmas, but I don’t want him to be sad because he can’t be with them physically. Hopefully the sports event the mission is planning will help take his mind off it.
Hi!–glitter girl, How are you? I think we all want David to be home for Christmas. But it makes me happy that he will be able to talk to his family for Christmas.
oh I meant singing at Rockefeller Center!
Me four. lol.
Linda, we just gotta keep voting. David deserves #1 more than TSwift. She’s got more than enough.
i’m playing mary in our church’s Christmas pageant. got to hold the cutest little baby Jesus doll tonight!
glitter girl–Very nice.
glitter*girl, good for you. Congrats on getting the part. The kids at my church are putting on their annual pageant as part of the service this weekend. Always a joy to watch
Charlotte, Glitter*girl, LindaFromCali#2014
I just can’t imagine how it’d be like for him !!! the first Christmas away from home !! but he is a strong young man I think he’ll be OK but for us fans as it get closer to the day we feel the impact and emptyness without David around!! Christmas will not be the same !! he is a big part of our daily lives just like a family member/best friend, we just miss him so much
yeah it is alot of fun! and i get to sing all my favorite traditional christmas songs!
Goodnight Everyone, Take Care All!
Just stopped by a little earlier to let Janel
know I have a FEE cd for her, have some
things going on, cant stay to chat.
pocoelsy, I hear you. I feel so grateful to have all the DVDs and CDs I have, so that it can feel like he’s still here. The last three years I’ve seen him in concert in December, so it’ll be weird not doing this year or next. I need to save my money right now, though, so in a way it’s a good thing for me. I will be missing and thinking of him everyday, though.
I know he’s strong and will get through the holidays with flying colors. I just hope he’ll have some special cheer where he is to help him along.
Does anyone have any problem vote on Readers Choice Poll ? I can’t find the VOTE box to click anywhere, all I can do is check in the box in front of his name but nowhere to vote!!
Beth–Good Night ((Hugs))
Pocoelsy, i don’t have any problem voting.
Charlotte– I know David will get throught he Holidays ok. He is very strong.
I’m sure they have something special for them at Christmas.
tami-lyn~ That’s cool! Um, is the guy who plays Joseph a hottie, too? lol.
Charlotte,
I think, he miss us A LOT too now that breaks my heart, but yeah look at the bright side !! we have 2 years to safe some money for the epic concert(s) by then we’ll have enough money to by ourselves VIP ticket..only problem is most of us want that VIP and front row seat haha !!!
josie~ omg the guy playing joseph is our pastor. it’s actually kinda embarassing that we are like married and i’m having a baby LOL!
tami-lyn~ Omygosh! I had a feeling you were gonna say something like that. lololol. Well…..well. lol.
i did not ask to play mary. no one else would do it so they pretty much told me~ hey, you’re mary! i was like, ok. haha
Linda.. so you have the VOTE box at the bottom of the poll but I don’t have ummm that’s strange!! it’s been like this since day 1 for me !! I can view the poll result and all but can’t put the vote in, this is frustrating !!
tami-lyn~ That is too funny.
pocoelsy, VIP is what I’m saving for, though I dunno if I’ll save enough. I’ll have to buy two because I need my mom to drive and even one VIP is expensive. Keeping my fingers crossed, though.
Linda, I’m sure they’ll do something special for the mishes at Christmas, too. There’s the sports event that Lurker posted about above and hopefully there’ll be more to keep them occupied and their minds off being homesick. It’d be neat if local church members kind of ‘adopt’ them for the holidays so they can have a homey Christmas even though they’re far from loved ones.
Gonna get off now and get ready to go for a workout. Talk to you all later
Goodnight Beth
pocoelsy- Are you voting in the right place? I didn’t have a problem. Unusual, I know, right.
tami lyn- That’s great that you are in your church play and singing too. I wanted to know if you got a FEE album because, if you couldn’t get one, I’m getting an extra in a few days and I’d be glad to send you one.
Have to go get things done around the house, see you all later…have a good day/ night all
David will be doing a Christmas Devotional this Saturday night and 3 other nights. He will be in his glory and radiate all his sunshine all over the place. Wonder how he likes the summer weather in December.
Your a Good Archie SGJ. So nice of you share.
I talked to my neighbor and asked him if the elders that stay with him got to have Thanksgiving dinner. He’s not married so he doesn’t really cook.
He said are you kidding, they had 3 Thanksgiving dinners. Good for them.
SGJ,
I think I did, I used the link above !!! I can vote 4-5 catagories above him, but from the Fave Television Young Rising Star onward the “vote” box just not there…weird huh, but then again my internet access is limited here..I can’t open utube that much or even open files that contain big/a lot of image (that’s why I can’t come to FOD that much) …and it’s so frustrating for ODD sufferer like me
Goodnight/day, Pocoelsy ((Hugs))
I hope David enjoys his devotionals.
Evening Everyone
Joanie, doesn’t matter how many times we check out the lead pic up top of David…HIS FACE JUST BEAMS FROM HIS GORGEOUS SMILE TO THOSE EXPRESSIVE EYES. It’s surprising that we even manage to check out the post let alone and comments LOL
I’m better just can’t sit too long. Aleve seems to help. I know when FEE gets here. I’ll forget everything!!!!!
Pastel, what an incredible SPAZZZZZZZ WORTHY IDEA…A VIRTUAL MKOCFTH CONCERT WITH A POSSIBLE VISIT FROM KARI IN CHAT (FINGERS CROSSED!!!)
Like some of you I’m still waiting for FEE. I figure the latest it can arrive is Tues, Dec 4…just gotta keep my mind off of it and it’ll appear… EASIER SAID THAN DONE LOL
I really missed commenting. Decided to give the oven a quick wipe up after heating some pizza directly on the rack and messed up my back… nothing new
When will the poll end anyway, it’s good to see David’s leading so far ahead
sgj~ oh thankyou so much!
no i don’t need one.
Really have to go now, sorry I miss you IdamaeDA2014, bye SGj, Linda, Idamae, Josie, Glitte*girl
goodnight pocoelsy. nice to see u here
Idamae– Hi!, Hope your back gets better. I don’t have my FEE either. Maybe we will be able to spazzzz together when we get it.
I’m excited for the Virtual MKOCFTH concert too. Hope it happens for us.
AWWW, …thanks, pocoelsy
Talk to you next time! Have a good night!
glitter*girl, hmmm… you and the pastor LOL pix please!!! All kidding aside, it was cool that you took the challenge
pocoelsy~ Hi and bye. lol.
Linda, I feel so bad I didn’t get back to you about the 2 ingredient cake. Thanks for giving me the info. We’ve had so many sweets in the house that Im gonna try it in a bit
We’re waiting for a plasma TV so we can both see Rainbow in all it’s glory. I’ve got the popcorn ready for us 
Glad that there is a special sports event for the missionaries. If it’s them playing, I hope they will be aloud to wear sports clothes, if they have to wear their missionary uniform, I sure would love to have a picture of that, lol.
Happy that David is singing during this Holiday season, his favorite time of the year. Dang, wish we could hear just of song….
Gonna try and put in my 100 votes at Musiqtone…hope 2BBL!!!
idamae ~ thanks haha! wish i had a cell phone, i could take a pic and post it!!! lol
Hi idamae. Sorry to hear about your back. Wow a new TV. Wouldn’t it be nice to watch a Nandito Ako DVD on it? Oh that would be glorious.
See you, pocoelsy.
tami lyn Okay, I just thought you might have had some glitch getting one. Like I said I bought an extra one, so if someone needs one, I could send it when I get it.
Linda- That is a cute story about the missionaries having three Thanksgiving dinners. I think David is eating pretty good down there. Heck, if I was there I’d volunteer to be his and his companions personal cook every day.
sgj~ that’s so nice of u! sure there is someone out there who needs one.
Oops, that’s “one song”.
tami lyn- Thanks. I mean Mary.
Sgj! I’m sure you would love to cook for Elder Archuleta aand his missionary companions.
I’m sure they must be hungry for some good ole home cooking. Wherever home is.
Not saying that they are not getting fed good. I’m sure they are. They are already sacrificing a lot by bieng away from family for two years, I’m sure they get fed good. i don’t worry about that.
cq- That could be a song title. “Just One Song”.
Didn’t win the Powerball. Aww next time!!
sgj~ lol i am not worthy to be mary! i am not a virgin! LOL
SGJ, haha totally forgot about NA…WOOHOOO…Josh, Anya and Holly in a plasma TV triangle!!!!!!! I’ve got the popcorn for that one, too and your invited haha
Well, time to call it a night. Goodnight all. See you tomorrow.
Goodnight SGJ.–(((HUGS)))
glitter*girl, LMBO!!! TMI
glitter-girl :red:
SGJ, Buenas Noches
idamae- Call me when we get the N.A. DVD. I’ll be there. glitter-girl, I’ve lost my emoticon mo-jo. I meant (blush). Godnight Linda (((hugs)))
haha ! goodnight u guys
Glitter-girl, goodnight (((Hugs)))
The highlight of Christmas for missionaries is calling home! Bet the whole D fam is way excited about that!
glitter*girl, I’m still laughing at your comment…goodnite!!!
MumkFod, I totally agree with you. And i am very excited for them all too. Especially our guy The Archuleta.
ROTF-Glitter*Girl -Im sure your hubby is glad!!
THIS IS SPECTACULAR! THIS FAN IS INCREDIBLY TALENTED!!!
@roselyn_DA2014: Hello @kariontour
Here’s the whole @DavidArchie collage portrait I made. Hope you like it.
http://t.co/DZtO835B
MunkFod, I’m sure Christmas can’t come soon enough for David and his family and at a time like this, God Bless AGB for the invention of the telephone and the developers of Skype
The Archuletas will definitely be having a JOYEOUS CHRISTMAS!!!
Candy and ABMS, how are you guys doin ???
YES, Roselyn is quite the artist!!! Imagine, if she had ignored her talent. Now it can open up a whole new world to her.
Idamae ~ I’m sitting here thinking what I was going to do with my 550 million dollars haha.
Hi Ida- Doing good, been trying to put a huge dent in my shopping as I head to NYC next week for four days. How did your area survive during the storm?
ABMS hahaha…you know what they say about having oodles of $$$$…OHHHH, the VIPS, concert and airline tickets, luxury hotels, wardrobe etc…but will we be happy.??? We’ll just have to take that chance
Hi! Candy, ABMS– Candy, hope your eye is better and that your feeling better.
ABMS isn’t Roselyn just too talented. Her drawings of David are spot on.
Candy, sounds like a great 4 days. Have fun!! We’re going to Victor’s Cafe in the city for a special Xmas get together with friends for authenic Cuban fare. I think I should diet before I go haha Everything is back to normal but some areas were badly flooded. Relatives had to evacuate from Hoboken apt with 2 babies. Her hubby had to find a safe route behind the apt bldg before he would take them out…pretty scary. Getting to her mom’s took forever cuz it was pitch black and most roads were closed!!!
Ida-I love going to the city this time of the year, the city is all aglow with the Christmas Spirit. We were supposed to go Veterans Day weekend but with the storm had to c shift plan.s Ive never had authentic Cuban food, had Cuban/American which I am sure is a lot different.
Goodnite Candy, ABMS and Linda and all archies…sure hope I get my FEE tomorrow and anyone else who is waiting…we’ll all have to give a collective cheer if it arrives!!!!!!
Sweet Dreams IdaMae
Goodnight Idamae, hope we get our FEES tomorrow.
Goodnight to all the Arcjies here too. going to get some votes in before bed.
((((HUGS))))
“Archies”
Candy, I agree, you can’t beat the city for great holiday cheer esp Rockefeller Center and the tree. I’m looking forward to the roasted pork, ropa vieja(shredded skirt steak, peppers and onions steeped in tomato sauce), fried plantains , yuca (root vegetable smothered in garlic and onion, flan. You have to try it one day.
I hope so, too, Linda
Now it’s Goodnite for sure haha
Just dropping in really quick to say 8 months=1/3 of the mission DONE!!!!! Woohoo! Love our boy! Can’t wait to have him back.
Good morning FOD ! HAPPY THURSDAY!
Hope all the Archies that haven’t received thier copy of FEE that TODAY is the day! LOVE seeing those MVs on my big screen!
Roselyn is some SUPER talented artist! That collage of David is INCREDIBLE! She captures David perfectly!
Hope everyone is well and enjoying the Holiday season! LOVE this time of year!! David will be singing in his first Christmas devotional this weekend! Bet it will be AMAZING…..wish I was one of the LUCKY ones in attendance! MISS David !
Nana patrol! ENJOY YOUR DAY EVERYONE!

Gah-dont think I am going to watch anymore videos this morning, I’m a sniffly mess.
MOTAB did me in, tried to cheer myself up and watch CRUSH from MSG but didnt work.
roselyn_DA2014′s artwork leaves me speechless! SO SO SO talented. Captured Davids likeness perfectly right down to the smallest detail. How wonderful that she found her passion to draw again from David. It would have been a shame if the world had missed out on seeing the work of such an amazing artist.
Two people had the winning powerball tickets each are now 250 million dollars richer. 8 people in NJ won a million dollars…why oh why wasnt I one of them!
New post is up! Happy Thursday everyone! Remember to vote up top for the “This Christmas” vid of your choice for the MKOCFTH setlist! We’ll be continuing these polls daily for the next couple of weeks and we really appreciate all of your suggestions and input! Also , DavidRBecken has uploaded the entire BC 2009 CFTH show in 2 vids.

Hey Sarah
Thanks for all the great links!! There’s a new thread up, btw.
Oh lol nvm I see you found it. I’m just talking to myself here. ha.
Lovely drawings Roselyn. David is really so much beyond a pretty face. ADORABLE
