Birthday Girl #2

Melissa Conley: newest member of the "we're officially in our mid-20s" club. What a good friend you've been to me these past 20 years or so…how I so wish I could be with you to celebrate! (But only if you make the same face as this little girl when you blow out your birthday candles…)

Happy Birthday Jessie!

Very special birthday wishes sent out to the one and only Miss Jessie Prewitt! Welcome to the "we're officially in our mid-2os" club. What I wouldn't give to be home celebrating with you…eat some extra cake for me.

She may not be pretty…

Ta da! My very own press. Sort of. After months of sitting in pieces at the foot of my bed, I finally put my tabletop press together (design courtesy of ReadyMade, construction/elbow grease courtesy of Mom.) In case you don't already know, I'm slightly obsessed with letterpress printing (think of my Christmas cards.) Quality/affordable presses are hard to come by, so last winter Mom helped me (re: I watched her) make a tabletop press to call my own. I'm waiting on an ink shipment right now, but I'm excited to run some prints soon.

I'm not sure how she'll compare to the real deal, but until I have enough space/money for one of these, she'll have to do!

Playing catch up…

Well…it's been awhile! Since wrapping up a string of family vacations and lots of lazy Sundays, I've finally caught up with all my school work…so I figured I'd try and catch up with the tfp blog as well. I thought I'd share a few photos from the highlight of my summer - my good friend/sister #2 Sarah's wedding. I think I may just have to quit school and move to Colorado…
