happy 30th curt!

Happy Birthday to my Curtis! The 30th! Quite a milestone. As you can see below, Curt is showing off his very cool and creative gift from our favorite Seattle-ites. Thanks guys, you're great! I wish you could've been here to see Curt's face when he pulled the bottles out of the box and realized his picture was on it. There are plenty more birthday festivities coming this weekend so I'll keep you all posted to see how everyone's favorite guy is celebrating the big three zero.

Curt also posted a little tidbit of birthday wisdom on his blog. Check it out here: http://curtisarmstrong.blogspot.com/

curt the pho-tog

Last week, during one of the lightning storms, Curt took some amazing pictures. I think this one officially puts him into the next category of pho-togs.

creativity abounds

How to take a very ordinary and somewhat boring tray and turn it into something fabulous. First, you need your very plain tray. (Psst. The D.I. is a great place to find cheap little trays.)

Second, you simply need a little paint, a few sheets of very cute paper, and a fresh supply of mod podge.

I was lucky enough to have two of these trays so I went right on to the next. Repeat steps one through two.

Well, that pretty much does it. Nothing to it. Beat the august heat, stay in, and be creative. Oh, and it helps if you watch an old movie while being crafty.
