Ready, set, party! It’s Friday! My best girlfriend from collage is visiting me this weekend and we have a whole girls’ weekend planned starting with a girl’s dinner tonight with friends at Terrine (the spot is a California take on French food, yum!). The rest of the weekend we’re planning a little brunching, a little shopping, and a little working out… basic but perfect! I haven’t been into Sugar Paper yet since the store turned over for the holidays so I can’t wait to pop in and scoop up some festive greeting cards and holiday trinkets! I know I was a little slow on blogging this week but next week I will be back at it in full force! I had report cards due today for work so I had to cut myself a little slack… thanks for sticking with me! Have a great weekend everyone!
