happy birthday to...

my beautiful and talented friend matina!


She takes most of the photos of me that I post up here and in my Flickr, and she makes these amazing photo collages.




I seriously feel so lucky to have this girl in my life, she is the sweetest person I have ever known, and an amazingly caring and dedicated friend. Wishing her the GREATEST day!

And since I have now given her this gift, I can share it with you, blogiverse! As part of my RVA craft class, I took this thrifted metal cash box...

...and I spray-painted it green, used an acrylic paint marker to decorate it, then sprayed it with a high-gloss varnish. I filled it with crafting and painting goodies, tucked a little picture of me and matina in it, and now she has a beginner's craft kit to get her started!
(It was a lot more filled when I gave it to her, these were just the pics I took before I had gathered all the supplies. And I have to admit, it was purely selfish, I just want somebody to craft with!)

Happy bday darling girl!
