No real artwork or designs to post, but I do have some pictures to share.
My dear friend Kerri finally turned 21 (though we still have to go out), and she had a very creative, Alice in Wonderland themed party. Everyone was required to wear a hat, and costumes were encouraged. I had this crazy English tea party hat in my trunk from Tim's mom (I took it because I wanted the hat box), and I figured, if I'm going to wear it, I might as well dress up too! So I donned my junior prom dress (it still fits!) and had Mum do my makeup...
I thought it came out quite well! I received several compliments from Kerri's family for my outfit and hat.
Lovely adult drinks...old fashioned bottles filled with shots (and labeled with the classic 'Drink Me' tag)! Great idea. I got to keep my bottle too, which was for a honey & tar mixture. Hmmmm. Made me remember that Dad used to have a ton of old bottles, and I wonder if he still does. That'd definitely be a collection I'd like to adopt.
Kerri's FANTASTIC cake! It's like something you'd see on TV. There were three different flavours too (I forget what two were, but I know one was red velvet). I wouldn't have been able to cut it up myself, but Kerri joyfully hacked into it and handed out pieces. ^_^
The birthday girl herself...Alice of course!
My super awesome tea cup that I got to take home. There were a ton of great ones to pick from, and I was torn between this one, and a really beautiful one with yellow roses.
I also made some lavendar cookies for the occasion, but I won't post any pictures because you've seen them before. I did add some food coloring that time around, to try to make them more purple for the party, but I didn't add quite enough, so they ended up being a pale pink.
A little project I worked on for hanging up the necklaces that I wear most often. Eventually I want to get a large corkboard so I can hang basically all of my necklaces, but for now this works. I have more wall hooks that I can add, if I decided I want more necklaces out.
And here's a cool picture of the bathroom shade. Someone had their headlights on outside and it created the coolest shadow. I plan to re-create this in Illustrator.
I also went to Conway, NH with my family for the weekend...
Cassie wanted to try on my aviators.
Old school chocolate vending machine. Can you imagine getting a piece of candy for a penny???
I love the typography on the machine. Older designs are really inspirational.
Oooh, Fitchburg! I LOVE that font. Not sure why that other picture isn't rotated correctly. But anyway, I love old papers and stuff too.
Part of the Conway Scenic Railroad. I really liked the design. One of the few mountain views on the railroad. I was a little dissapointed with the 'scenic' part of the ride. But it was a cool old train.
I liked the sign. If you can't read it, it says, 'Horsefeathers. Sustenence, Merriment & Cheer'
A really cool metal venus fly trap type sculpture to put in your plants. And a little moth (whose picture also won't appear rotated correctly.)
The beautiful moutain view from our condo.
We went to StoryLand too...Harris was a little intimidated by Humpty, and I don't blame him!
The girls as Alice. :]
Harris on the tea cups and with the Big Bad Wolf (who is quite small!)
Yes, I found flowers to photograph there as well.
Rockin the log flume ride. (Click the second picture to see the full size version. Their expressions are great!)
Another raft ride. I didn't feel like getting wet that day. No surprise.
Diana's Baths, natural falls. I LOVED this place (though again, I didn't really go in, just got my feet wet. Water was FREEZING!) and I could have stayed and explored all day. It was about a half mile hike up to the falls, and they were just so beautiful. I took a ton of pictures. We explored quite a bit, though I would have kept hiking up (even though I was wearing platform sandals), but it was our last day there and we needed to get on the road. I'm not sure if I'll make it back to Conway anytime soon (especially after the hellish drive), but if I do, I will definitely be returning to the baths.
And here is a caterpillar for posterity. ;D
