Day 18

A couple friends of mine have birthdays coming up.  One February 12th and the other February 19th. I just happen to work with these two on night shift. We have a lot of fun together and we all enjoy some good eats. There's a restaurant in Redlands that Clay loves and Ali has been dying to try it out.

On a whim they decided to celebrate their birthdays together. The more they talked about it the more they got excited and a plan developed. For fun they decided they wanted a Masquerade Dinner. Everyone will wear semi-formal attire and a mask will adorn their faces.

They were talking about all sorts of things they needed to get done: invitations, ordering masks, making reservations etc. When I heard 'invitations" my little crafty light came one. An idea came to me and I ran with it. I have a slight crafty side to me. Okay... more than slight. It is down right obssessive, deep rooted craftiness. I threw together an example that night and they loved it. So, being the proactive person I try to be, I went to Michaels the next day and got all of the supplies.

I put everything together the other night while I was at work. I think they turned out pretty darn good and both Clay and Ali love them.

The invitation is a tri-fold but getting the whole thing in the picture just wasn't working out for me. It was 330am, I was tired and I was d-o-n-e.
