Me and My Friends….

                          s card 007 

I had an opportunity to make a Birthday card for my dear friend, Sharon, this last week.  I wanted to make a collage…always thought it would be fun….and it was.  I had some gorgeous printed tissue paper (thanks, Gracie) and it layered so well.  I threw in a few rough textures and she was done. 

We celebrated her birthday on Sunday with a trip to Trader Joe’s (new store) right here in Spokane, WA.  Lunch at a Bistro and then some thrifting.  Can it get any better than that?  Happy Birthday, sweet Sharon.

I only got an inside picture…but isn’t this store beautiful…look at those colors! I’m ready to go again….anyone want to join me? 

I hear rumors of another store or two in this area and a possible distribution point.  They said this was the biggest opening they have ever had…..How ‘bout that Spokane?
