Day Off! Must Do All The Things.

Happy Thursday!

I was fortunate enough to have a day off from waitressing to actually accomplish some "me" time. When I'm not at School in Philadelphia I'm at home waitressing almost everyday. I love my job but sometimes you just need a break! I used my day to run some errands, visit to the doctor, and grab coffee with two of my best friends! Coincidentally, they were two of the biggest fans of my old blog! So I made sure to bring along the Christmas present my mom had made up for me. She had a local graphic designer compile all of my blogs and pictures into one beautiful book!

I'm so happy with the result! And I'm so thankful to always have these memories in one, well organized place. My mom had copies printed for me, my parents, and my grandparents and everyone was really is really impressed with the quailty.

If you have any need for large print photos, posters, books, or really anything I'd highly recommend Nefra of York, PA!

http://www.nefra.com/ - Ask for Blaize! He went above and beyond on my project. 

Anyway, that's my recommendation! This coffee was very special to me because the girls and I are essentially travel buddies although we've never extensively traveled together.

(She's going to hate me for this picture) My BEAUTIFUL friend Amanda visited Italy in 2010, and gave me tons of advice before I left! Then, of course, I just got back from studying abroad. And my friend Cecilia is leaving for a semester in Spain on Saturday! So it was our turn to attempt to impart wisdom on her. Of course, there's only so much we can tell her, nothing prepares you for an experience like that!

She even got herself a shiny new camera for her trip!

Meanwhile, Cecilia's lovely boyfriend Justin is in town to see her off! He had lots of work to do so we tried to give him some quiet time. 

I spent the rest of my afternoon editing photos from Christmas!

Aren't they cute!?

I like to introduce the people involved in my life because I use my blog to tell stories about the characters I surround myself with! I should also tell you I'm an amateur photographer and I'm planning on sharing lots of camera and editing tips! I was thinking about using one specific day a week to share an art- related tutorial? Sound like a good idea?
