twenty two

My friend Pam went to Goodwill on my birthday determined to buy me some records (and walked away with a Supremes album that I'm really excited to listen to!), but obviously, sometimes a trip to a thrift store yields unexpected treasures. That's how I ended up with what is probably the weirdest present I have ever received:

Yeah, It's a Playboy centerfold jigsaw puzzle from 1967. Miss October! So obviously our only option was to put that babe back together.

...except it was really hard because they didn't provide a picture of what it was supposed to look like and everything was flesh colored, so we kinda gave up.

But at least I got to spend the evening with some of my favorite people!

I also got some pretty rad cards, both digitally and on paper, which I will share with you because I simply cannot keep them to myself:

I can't remember the last time I turned a year older without a card that mentioned a "birthday bear", I just know I have an impressive archive! Sara's card this year will make a fantastic addition.

My delightful pal Maddy made this to let me know that I was being celebrated in Scotland.

This card came from my friend Alanna, who basically just cut out a bunch of kitty heads and glued them to printer paper (there are more on the other side). Good work, buddy! "All Friends Together" is a sentiment I can get behind. Especially if those friends in question are cats.
