A lil x-change

There's sort of an un-spoken agreement between my friends and I about
buying Christmas gifts for each other since we all kinda wanna spoil our kidlets and always seem to be low on cash. boooo!
So we usually just get together and all hang out... however...
Anne was on a crochet-o-ramma kick around Christmas, making the most awesome
big soft cowls. She made me one that wraps around twice- and I DIG it :D
Here it is on its first trip to the beach...


Naturally, I crafted her right back :D
More bead loom goodness for my sweet hippie friend!


The hardest part about beadwork is finishing the product!!! This time I backed it with felt
and was quite happy with the results. :D 
Max, Anne, and lil peanut (Marianne). Dude, how cute is her little embroidered 
Mexi dress??? 

Max, Anne, and Alex
Mama and her babes

At this point we were just cracking up over taking pictures because I only had one left on my
camera, so if Anne didn't approve of the shot, we laughed, I deleted and then took another. 
She said, goofingly, how about my Marianne Faithful pose? 
I couldn't delete this one- look how cute she is!!! :D
(ps, she made that bracelet she's wearing too.)
I don't know if you've had a chance to stop by her blog and read
her sister post. She included me in it and brought me to tears reading it.
I was incredibly honored to share a page with her own sister and
her best friends growing up. You can find it here.
Happy Thursday!
