girlify your t-shirts

Ok ladies, it’s time to send the boys for beer and pizza while we have a little girl talk. You go to a show, a convention, that awesome thing put on by that awesome person or persons that you’ve been dying to go to forever. And you want to buy one of their awesome shirts […]

make your own postcards

Ah the postcard, that delightful medium with which to send a brief, picturesque,  jealousy-inducing message to loved ones, detailing the exquisite activities you have been enjoying in delightful climes and exotic places.

As opposed to Midwestern donate-your-yogurt-tubs-to-local-kindergarten-art-teachers-and-throw-the-rest-away-cuz-the-recycling-companies-don’t-function-properly-out-here-ism, I suppose. But I digress. Next week, remind me not to write blog posts after a couple glasses of wine. Thanks to making all those ribbon roses last week, […]
