BFF Birthday/Housewarming Party Countdown

I would like to take this opportunity to pat myself on the back for being an awesome BFF. Even though I am extremely tired and burnt out on crafting, I made Aimee’s birthday present *a stellar Fascinator that I’ll post after the party* and these party decorations. Her party is Saturday and we spent most of today shopping for booze and snackies. I will be making a watermelon basket for the first time so I am hoping it turns out like this.

Antz painted that lovely frame orange *which will soon house one of Liv’s headshots*, another one of his FABulous finds at a thrift shop for $3!! It’s almost identical to the ones I paid $68 for *whammp whammp!*

Tuesday I was too exhausted from our adventures at the Hollywood Bowl to post. Excuse my angry whore face.

The acoustics were like butter! Now I know what all the fuss was about.

I can’t wait to return but for a band I really want to see. Our neighbors told us they saw Belle & Sebastian there and I am super jealous. I have a few more decorations to make. Liv has a playdate at a place I’ve been wanting to go to for months tomorrow. Before I hit the sack, let’s take a look at my updated Summer Fun List and see how I’m doing, shall we?
