This weekend, was all about Button Flowers…okay well just Friday night. Heather & I congregated at Jill’s house (the button Goddess) and made button flowers while the guys played x-box…(it was a win-win all around) It was great conversation with lots of peach-flavored fresca and raspberry cheesecake. Um um good. Jill celebrated my birthday along with Chris’ and I am happy to say I was the happy and proud recipient of some flourescent pink aged peeps. I like peeps. I like them better when they are aged. This means you throw them in the cupboard for 2 months after Easter until they get nice and solid on the outside and chewy on the inside. Jill knows I like a good aged peep and these peeps had been aging for 2 months! These peeps traveled all the way from Boston to be mine! Thanks, Jill! You are a true friend! It was such a fun night… we laughed our heads off (and almost damaged a few teeth in the process). Make me belly laugh, and you are a friend for life! Heather & Jill- you are friends for life! Thanks for the great night!! I miss you already! xoxo

Hey Girl:
Whoah! This blog thing is amazing! You are pro! I have bunches of pictures to send you for the boston reunion on Father’s Day too.
Buttons are still out all over my counter if anyones needs to come get creative juices going. Still working on the pink and orange button. Can’t wait to see what you do with that cat button. Heather, you didn’t leave me a pineapple button! I was counting on that! Your buttons look great!

The button flowers are gorgeous! Jill is clearly the button flower guru! It was fun seeing you at the reunion, but I wish we could have caught up more. Next trip, you must promise to fit us in!

Mo…BRILLIANT job on the photography! I still think the button flowers look like miniature wedding cakes-scrumptous! (Someone back me up on this).

I clipped this out our ME and have it on my t0-do list. Yours turned out fantastic! I really think this is the cutest idea ever.

Excuse me…but Jill is getting all the credit for the button flowers and it is I her sister in Chicago who introduced them to her! Sheeeeeesh! Since Jill moved to Utah, I now have to leave Chicago after 20 years and move to Utah. You blew it Morgan and Chris for not coming and staying with me… At least I’ll have someone to do button flowers with when I get there….and just maybe I can go watch Jill fly fishing on the Provo river and take some pictures of her…..then I’ll feel really cool. Is she as good as Chris?
