Girlie girl slash chill weekend
So, this weekend turned out to be about being a girlie girl like whoa. On Fri, my sis and I held a jewelry party at her apt where we had some friends, family and coworkers over to check out some gorge Lia Sophia jewelry. We had been to a party at sis's friend's house a month ago and really liked the jewelry and the lady that was selling it, so we decided to host our own party and invite our peepz. Well, little did we know how much work we would end up putting into it. I was organizing, cleaning and cooking like nobody's business, but it was well worth it. Everybody had a fab time and got to buy some super cute jewelry(including me and sis) and it was nice to see some people we hadn't in a while. About being girlie, if the fact that we hosted a jewelry party doesn't already testify, let me also point out that my sis made Sangria and we also all drank Smirnoff Twisted Watermelons. Yummo...I likes me some girlie drinks(and beer too!) Anyway, needless to say that there was a looooot of estrogen up in that piece.
On to more girlieness, my sis and I spent a good bit of Saturday making cards. That's right, folks, we were Stampin Up! I'm talking glue pens, glitter, flower-shaped paper punches, painting chalk, stamps and varied shades of cardstock. I made cute frenchie ones that I can send to peepz in the states (you know, guilt them into sending me stuff...haha!) and then I also made one that I messed up and tried to salvage, but I just continued to make worse and worse. Looks like the rents should be expecting a card from me sometime soon! I basically spent almost this entire weekend lazing away at my sis's, which was so nice to do- I felt like I was on vaca! Going back to work tomorrow is gonna be rough, that's for sure. But, between jewelry shopping all Fri night, stamping my little fingers off on Sat and organizing cards and postcards people have sent me recently today, I'm pretty girlied out. That being said, I'm dying to get my paws on all my albums so I can go through them and pick out pics I want to bring to France with me to hang up and also to have in a little album-I'm gonna try to not bring as many frames this time and none of my major albums, but it's hard since I loves me some photos. This girlie girl is spent, though, so I'll have to say à tantôt for now!
