Some of you are aware that we inadvertently started a tradition a few years ago... of making Connie homemade birthday cards. Each year we try to top the one from the year before. After last year's card (we made her a comic book!) we didn't think we could top it. However, I woke up this morning with the inspiration of making Connie into Martha Stewart for a day (or month)! Armed with a Martha Stewart Living magazine cover as inspiration... we created Connie King Living!
Not only did we create a birthday card using the magazine "cover"... but we framed a copy for posterity (as one of her previous cards was vandalized by an over eager dog child!). But we couldn't stop there! We found a magazine called BUST! (Not as racy as you might think.) It appears to be a feminist magazine publication for "women that need to get something off their chest". We printed an 8x10 version of Connie's magazine cover and glued it to the front! It turned out great! You can see me perusing the magazine below. (Photo courtesy of Jon.)
As it turns out, Stephanie (our good friend from China China) is also a Virgo... so we included her in our festivities! You can see us all below cutting the cake with a cleaver... which we were told is good luck! What a fun evening! Happy Birthday everyone!
