Happy 27th Birthday Lovebug! You and I can be the same age now, for a couple of months before I become, as you say it "Old." I guess you might as well call me 30. I'm glad I could celebrate your special day throughout the entire week. We went to the Theatre and saw the super funny 21 Jump Street. Love Johnny Depp's special appearance. I was thrilled to be able to plan a bowling party for you since it had been 16 years since you had one. Enjoyed the company of our friends and BLAT'S and brownies after. You scored on Chipotle gift cards as well as your high scores in bowling.
Lucky Strike!
I love how your Birthday outfit coordinates with the retro blue and orange wall. Pretty Pretty Pretty Good (Curb your Enthusiasm). This is Dave's best guy friend up here (I'd say anyway...) Mark Holden.

The perfect Seattle shot, Kerry Park.
We found Santa at the top!
Always the photographer but I always had the best view. I loved being with them.
The view. City Skyline. Mt. Rainer.
The Space Needle. Clear, sunny and fairly warm day, perfect. Glad they got to see the view 
The Troll.
Gas works park. I love this photo. I love the background. I am pleased on how I set this one up. It's perfect to me. I love it.
Maggiano's. Yummy Italian food. What to eat? That is the question here. Don't they look deep in thought? Cracks me up...
Touring Bellevue. At the Bravern. I described it to Aly as a very "posh" shopping center. She asked me if I knew where it came from, I just said it means elegant, swanky or rich. She then informed me of it's true origins, it's from England it means Portside out starboard home. I guess only the very wealthy travelled by boat. She then impressed me with a more detailed reason that you'll have to ask her about. But I found a cool poem from the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang that I thought she'd like...
I took our photos, with a tri-pod and a self timer, I did ok. Don't know how to avoid the glare on those with glasses. I'm assuming there is a tool for that. Oh well. You get what you pay for. I am grateful for the experience. I will be better prepared next time.

My friend, Susan, also from work, who loves ALL THINGS BRITISH. Commissioned me to make 3 collages that she can frame for her sewing room she's re-doing. I can't wait to show these to her tomorrow. I actually love them, would love them more though if they were all things FRENCH! Haha.
You can click on the photos to blow them up so you can see the details...
A banner for Spencer. Adriana's due in March and already knows the name of her baby boy. She wanted a Knights, Castle, dragon themed banner. I'd say she got one. This banner is a little different from my usual. One it's a different pattern and two I got to use Becky's circuit for some of the embellishments. I need a circuit!!! 
Dave was very thoughtful this year. He had the idea to build bulletin boards and print photos from our own library for our family members. He made a total of 7 in 4 days, that's impressive. I think we successfully picked out fabric that matched each person perfectly. This was not an easy gift. Nothing like just buying a gift card. But he and I both realized the blessings we received by do this. It was definitely priceless.
A Christmas card for my brother Steve, the Hunter. I had him this year... Enjoy your knife, machete and shot gun belt!!!
A baby boy card included in Adriana's Christmas gift.
A baby girl card included in the group of cards to Adriana for Christmas.
Happy Birthday to my friend, Brooklyn. She's also my visiting teaching companion, and was my visitor teacher just before that. I really think she's great!
Mother-In-Law, Becky's Birthday card. She actually shared her birthday with us here in Bellevue, WA. She made a Birthday weekend out of it, so that her and I could attend the Scrapbook Convention. Lots of fun, Lots of goodies!!!
Thank-You card for Susan. She loves sewing. This card was to thank her for some purses she gave me.
Birthday card for Tate! He had a pirate birthday party. He turned 4 this past year.
Birthday card for Sweet Ashley. She turned 2!
