And the Beat Goes On...

So this past weekend was amazing. Beautiful weather, long bike rides, and birthday celebrations. On Saturday, I made the 1.5 hour drive to Bel Air, MD to take a class with the one-and-only Kristina Contes. Loved her class. Loved meeting her. And LOVED seeing her mini-books IRL. It was total inspiration and so amazing to look, feel and see a real life glimpse of her art.
Then, I got to sit next to this super cute and happy girl named Vee. Little did I know that I had seen her amazing work on TwoPeas before, AND had even stumbled across her blog once before. Its funny how that works (and how you realize that after you already left the store). Its just to nice to meet other scrappy friends. Especially scrappy friends that live near me!
Ok, the grandma turned 91 on Saturday. Yep, she's still kicking it, old school if you will. That pacemaker of hers is really doing a fantastic job. She was rocking a sweet ass red sweater outfit (totally 80's), with her oh-so-cute curly gray hair-do. If I look as good as she does when I'm 91, or even 71, I'll be one hot looking grandma. And you know that means Matt will still be trying to get some if I still hot. Ha. Anyways, I think the best part of the evening was that she actually smiled for *some* of her birthday pictures. And of course, there was delicious food, lots of guests, lots of drinking, and laughs all night long....just like any typical Bolivian parrrttayyy!

Still working on my mini-book from Saturday, but will post when I'm done. And I'm almost done with this week's scrapjack. Whoop whoop! Love me some Heidi Swapp.
