Hanging with my girls!

I was thinking this week how blessed I am to be surrounded by amazing women! I had an opportunity tonight to be around some of them, and it was so wonderful. I did come to the realization, though, that painting pottery is not a stress-free activity... but when you pair it with chicken salad, coke-zero and lots of laughs, everything turns out alright. I decided to make "birthday plates" for my kids. I am going to force them to use them for every birthday until the day I die!

Thank you to all my wonderful friends for making my 30th birthday so special! I am totally overwhelmed!

crunch time was soon to follow!I was sitting between the 2 pros. It made me very nervous!I know I look like I am in pain, but I took my project very seriously. I mean, I don't want my kids to resent me
the rest of my life!
