I was so pleasantly surprised at the warmer weather here this weekend. Such stark contrasts to the frigid temperatures earlier in last week. I did some "light" spring cleaning (which means hardly at all) and cleaned up some yard debris, scrapped a little. The girls played outside all day Saturday and Sunday with neighbor kids, building a fort, playing explorer and drawing with colored chalk on the sidewalk. I wore a dress without my over the knee socks and had the windows open, yay for spring-ish weather!
Here's my Creative Type prompt, using a stitched title..."Girls Night Out" with the Dozen's kit.
and my two blog pals sent me these...so sweet...
First, my super duper girlfriend pal Sarah here in the Philadelphia area, sent me a tag challenge to pick the 6th picture in the sixth picture folder on my computer. Here's mine...
Little sis in the subway in Washington DC,2 years ago. Don't you love that pixie do? She had everyone call her "punk rock Ava" for a couple months.
And I just wanted to share a couple photos of my wonderful friend Sarah who performed last Friday night at First Friday. Her new band played at a Starbucks and she sang, drummed, played keyboards and hoola hooped for the crowds. She's got an amazing voice and her a LED hoop fit right in with the eclectic crowd gathering around to listen to her band's music. It's always been a bit of a dream of hers to sing in a band, and now she's doing it. I'm really proud of her!
And second,my super sweet friend in the Netherlands, Vivian, gave me this...
Thanks Viv!!!
Lastly, my bf Lainie is in Chicago right now meeting her biological dad and his family. She was adopted when she was only a day old and never knew who her mom or dad were until a few months ago. She met her biological mom a few months ago and has developed a sincere friendship with her and her mother's family. Then she was put in contact with her dad. I am so proud of her for being so open-minded and brave meeting them. She has told me some wonderful stories about their last 2 days together and I am just so happy for her, and them, because she's a pretty fabulous gal, I'm glad they got to meet her, too.
I couldn't think of a good title for this post, but with all this girl stuff in here, (the layout, Sarah, Viv, Lainie, etc.), I'm feeling the girl love...
