No such thing

So last night we went to Le Cedre (which is my favorite restaurant) for dinner for my birthday.

Here's Blaise and I:Yes, I'm wearing the scarf I painted as a headband. I don't wear scarves normally, so this is what I chose to do with it, especially since I trimmed my own bangs too short:). And yes, that is red wine, which I gave up for Lent (along with Diet Coke, which has been KILLING me) but it WAS my birthday! It kind of sucks when your birthday always falls during Lent.

But my crafty stuff recently has been these:

I've been listening to CraftyPod and she mentioned paper beads, so I just had to find out how to do that. Not that I'm that into beads (I do have a few from my time in Ghana, but I don't do anything with them - they sit in my stash waiting to find their purpose), but I thought that it would be something interesting to do while I watch 3 boys play in the bathtub (so that they don't kill themselves). I am totally into paper though, so this works for me! And, they're very cool ('cause they're super lightweight) on layouts and cards, so win-win!
