I'm a quarter of a century old today. Twenty-five always seemed like scary age for me, but now that I'm here I realize it's not nearly as old as I always imagined. Luke surprised me by coming home from work early today, and presenting me with a beautiful pair of pearl earrings to match the lovely pearl ring he gave me for Christmas. And tonight he made reservations at my favorite French restaurant Bistro Campagne. What a guy!

In honor of getting older here is a photo I found a few days back. What a messy ballerina! Check out the stains on my leotard and the toe poking through my tights.



In crafting news I am pulling out the sewing machine to make this top and dress. The orangey Navajo print is for the top and the blue plaid is for the dress.



And finally comps are over...just now the brutal waiting for results.
