My mom was kind enough to take Whitney out for the day, they went shopping, to lunch and to the movies.
Rather than me bringing lunch this time, Michelle and I went to La Dolce Vida for a super tasty Italian lunch. I have been craving it all week as I've been reading The Shoemaker's Wife.
My mom was so grateful for the hour and 22 minute phone call of computer help that I gave her the day before that she made caramel popcorn for us.
The screen shot I took upon hanging up with my mom after our tech-help phone call.
I couldn't find my address list but then found 2 old ones from many Creative Friday's gone by.
Eva had a melt down because of the strange, flying beatle type bug flying too near her while she tried to do sidewalk chalk...it took awhile to bounce back but fortunately some neighbor kids invited her to play and all was well.
I bought these super cute cards at T.J. Maxx while out with Lori last week. She doesn't understand my stationery addiction, Michelle understands it though (hooray) and had stationery envy.
Michelle wrote birthday thank yous on these cute, flocked cards from the dollar spot at Michael's.
She also used some of her adorable cards from Stefanie with Stationery With Style, I had some envy going on this time.
This self-portrait of Eva was hanging on the fridge and delighted me all day, I think it's one of the cutest things I've ever seen.
Lucas and Landon walked to Harmon's and bought 3 packages of Peeps for .85 cents each.
Our creative "mess".
I wrote 8 cards and put a small good mail package together.

Neat shirt Michelle has on and cool color scheme on those cards; I love the red/aqua combo. I say I always did, even before it became a trendy combo, so there!
Eva looks so grown!
Why am I not surprised you were first to comment on my new post? Thanks for being a faithful reader. For months I felt like I had nothing to say, then I had tons to say but couldn't get it out so today I just decided to type up what I could and at least have it as a keepsake of all that's going on now. And you are so right about my former sister-in-law, she acts like real life is 7th grade recess and really I wish I could shake some sense into her.
ah-- Creative Day~
It's so good to see Michelle!
What a GREAT day for you both.
What's up with Lucas & Landon looking so darn grown up?
I've "get" stationery envy. It's a problem
That really is a darling self-portrait. That's the sort of thing that makes me want a girl.
I am laughing about the long tech-help call. Helping our parents with technology is BRUTAL. My mother-in-law got a new iphone just before she came to stay with me for three days with all her questions. It took me one whole morning to teach her how to use the alarm function. It nearly killed me.
Glad you got to have Creative Friday, and a day in the cozy all in the same week!
Those merci cards are lovely. What a great find!
I 100% understand the stationary addiction and envy for that matter. : )
I'm always amazed at people that can talk other people through computer problems. Bully for you! Even better that it produced caramel corn.
I'm so glad you got to have a good creative Friday. I miss Michelle and am glad for a glimpse of her on your blog.
That self-portrait is pretty darn cute. I love the exaggerated freckles.
