Business Cards

I have a small table at an upcoming craft show, and needed a way to share my contact information. I had plain namecards left over from my high school graduation invitations, so I used watercolor paints on one edge (red/orange/yellow and purple/blue/green), and then wrote my email address on the back. I got the idea from here. I like how they came out!

One more picture after the jump...

Pre-wedding Celebrations!



My best friend, Mackenzie, is getting married this week! So exciting! She's having the ceremony on a pier (so romantic!), and then a party in her parents' huge backyard.  It's going to be the best time, I just know it!

This past weekend, we threw her a bachelorette party. Now, Mackenzie is a no-fuss girl, so it was a bit tricky figuring out the best thing to do.  We ended up doing a wine tasting at a local wine bar called V-NO, followed by a little party at my place around the corner, and then out for dancing and drinks! Although planning it was difficult, I think it couldn't have been more fun.

More about V-NO. The day before, we chose the wines we would be tasting. I'm no wino, so I was completely clueless! We ended up choosing a champagne, a white, and two reds.  Just the right amount, I thought! We also had truffles with the champagne, and then some cheese, charcuterie, and hummus plates.  The pâté was my favorite! And the champagne.

And now, some photos!

Ballet Class

I'm so excited! I found a ballet class to attend close by. Hopefully, it will be good! It's so hard to find a good ballet class for my age group. I'll let you know how it goes! Image via.

Edit: I didn't go. Believe me, I will go ASAP!

What I've been eating...

First Post

I've been talking about starting a blog for a while now, so let's get on with it!  Here's a picture to start us off.

It's from my trip to Dewey Beach last week, taken atop one of the rides on the Rehoboth boardwalk. I was screaming and laughing the whole time!
