Good times.

And the dude is now 4!

I can hardly believe it. He was so excited to have a birthday party. He helped frost the cake. He blew the candles out all by himself. It was a serious celebration.

Good times.

And more good times...

{ Tara Whitney, me, and the amazingly talented & hilarious Lisa McGarvey. }

I was super lucky to get to stay at Chez Whitney this last weekend. The LIFE in that house is just amazing. The kids, the happiness, the way in which Tara and Jeff live their lives is really so inspirational. I loved watching her interact with the kids - just the way she talks to them is just so cool.

Thanks Tara...love you!

{ me & the amazingly organized and fun Natalie - owner of A Million Memories : she has such great taste and a wonderfully cool selection of products on her site. Totally made a new friend. }

I also love Natalie. And her friend Torrey. Dinner Friday night with the two of them and Tara was so very nice. It was awesome to just get there and feel so comfortable all together.

{ the ladies working super hard }

This was very possibly the most FUN group I have encountered yet.

There were women from Washington, Arizona, Califronia (anyone from anywhere else?) and Chalk came all the way from Japan. Chalk, Miki and Misty brought me copies of their Japanese Idea Books - awesome idea books with super cool design. Thanks girls - can't wait to see you again in October. 

The entire group of womean was rowdy and spunky with lots of chatting and laughing. It made for the perfect all day event.

Thank you all for coming to play, for  your enthusiasm, your graciousness, the gifts, and the awesome laughter and cool connections. I can not wait to come back down there.
