30 Wishes

For a dear friend's 30th birthday, we wanted to do something sweet and something fun that celebrated love and life.

Some glam, some pattern, some pink, 30 small cards, 30 wishes (some sweet and some to get a laugh,) 30 pieces of hot pink ribbon all attached to two giant metallic 3-0 balloons completed the birthday gift.

We shared some "ahhhh's" and some "hahahaha's" as we read through all the wishes, popped open some bubbly and celebrated.

Happy Birthday dear friend! Cheers!

Second day of Fall

Happy second day of Fall! Although out here on the west coast its still 95 degrees, the little midwesterner inside of me is dying for a little cool breeze, the rustle of leaves on the ground, and the warm autumn colors...
