Birthday 24 LO- Studio Calico 11/28 Sunday Sketch

Sketch4

I really struggled with this sketch. Part of the reason that I am just getting to it now, while it was posted at the end of November, errr. I was not sure what to use for photos. I don’t really like to use mini photos, but I have been trying really hard to this past year. So when i recently was unloading my camera I noticed I had photos that would work small and I had enough of them for a LO.

This layout is from my friend Emily’s 24th Birthday from early December. We had a fantastic dinner out at Post 390. We could not decide on what to order to we ordered a lot of little things to share. Dinners out like that are fantastic since we laugh the whole night while enjoying drinks and making amazing plans for our next adventures.

While I struggled with this layout I enjoyed the completed LO because I got so many photos in one layout. I was able to capture everything that we enjoyed for Emily’s birthday. Plus, I really added dimension to my layout with the ribbon and the star pins (from Studio Calico kit) that hold the rolled portion in place.

Thanks for visiting. Please leave me a comment to provide some feedback. I appreciate all the comments I receive.

Birthday Dinner

Yesterday was my friend Emily‘s birthday. We went out to celebrate with food and drinks at Post 390. This place always impresses us with their amazing service, fantastic food, and tasty drinks. Those drinks go down just so easily! Esp when your best friend is yelling at you to drink another one because it’s her birthday and that means you have to do what she says.

The Hedgehog Ornament, one of the gifts I got for Emily, was getting cozy with the butter, and confusing all the servers. It’s not a porcupine people! The hedgehog started to off having plenty of room but soon he lost out on real estate when all our appetizers and sides came. It is perfectly reasonable to make a meal out of appetizers and sides.

We had a great time catching up. Yes, we live live 3 miles away, email each other every day, Price and her work together… but we still need long dinners like this to really catch up on the shit storms that are our lives. Oh, the hilarious insanity.

Happy Birthday Emily… may this year bring you happiness and success. But really… let it bring more (controlled) backyard/kitchen fires, drunken nights playing Trivial Purist, overnights sleeping on the Cos, and adventures driving to random towns.
