Happy Birthday to me (yesterday) 😊. Some great memories from my 41st year in pictures. 🥳 

1. Outside the studio. The best place to work. 
2 & 3 Haystack “art camp” BFFs 
4 & 5 Painting I made for the vikings and me and my mom at a game (Andrew and Dad were there too)
6. My and Olly curlworks_ hamming before AAW
7. Tea with some of my “mains” 
8. Book Club 15th anniversary trip in Palm Springs. 
9. Baby brother gets married and then these babies have a baby and now I’m an aunt. 💓
10. Camping and making art with dear friends 
11. Chicago Renegade with the usual suspects 💓 cmwceramics and lareauart 
12. Andrew and Jasper (who was unwell for awhile and we thought we’d lose him but is back to his old tricks!)
13. Lots of painting and first time doing lots of paper cutting.
14. Outings with good friends! Art, food, laughing. 
15. New booth set-up, discovering I like to paint big “set pieces”
16. A painting I really loved making last year. 
17. Haystack studio, getting comfortable with watercolor and traditional gouache 
18. Hosted two big baby showers this year and got to know our neighbors so much better. 
19. Joshua trip during the book club retreat 

Not pictured: Long phone dates with 83_xtina and visits, dinners out, successful house projects and watching hockey with Andrew. Reading books, lifting weights, cuddling my cats and chatting with friends.
