so yeah, I'm not one to buy birthday gifts at the mall...

in December my best friend celebrated her birthday

(yes, I realize I'm a tad late on this post)

and I knew that I wanted to have my ridiculously creative friend to help me with her gift

so I helped with the concept

but the rest was all miss Jaymee Srp from Retro Menagerie

I was SO happy with the final product & how perfect it was for my friend

seeing as how she has a thing for books, the way I do about pyrex

I knew exactly the direction we were going to go with the print

and it seems like she liked it too - you can see here where she posted about it on her blog

Confessions of a Book Hoarder

so yeah for spreading the love - it's a pretty good thing

thanks again to...
