Last Stop: Last Thursday - Portland OR

Hitting the road one more time. This time, I'm Portland-bound. I haven't back been since I before I left for Asia. I also haven't stepped into a BK in years (only to use the bathroom) and look at this gem I found sitting in his straw hat & overalls:

Anyway! I'll be at Last Thursday Art Walk on Alberta St. vending from 6-10pm tonight. Swing by & say hello :) I've never been before, so I'm really nervous/excited to see how it goes. I've heard nothing but good things so here goes nothing! It's also the the last stop on my craft fair summer tour so here's to the end and the beginning!

Last Thursday

Biiiirthdayyyy!

To celebrate my birthday, I finally put the ice cream cookie sandwich molds to good use.

I made two batches of cookies from scratch: chocolate chip hazelnut & lemon sugarcookie-cutted cookies!

Place the cookie on the bottom, followed by a scoop of ice cream. In this case it's lemon creme from Scoops :). The chocolate chip cookies had either oreo custard or vanilla rice pudding. YUM!

Another cookie.

SMASH IT!
Tada!!

& here are some cool presents I got!

My last day at 26

I spent the afternoon (3+ hours) at LACMA exploring the Tim Burton Exhibit. So so good. I got teary-eyed when I saw all the Vincent stuff. These art/animation exhibits always get to me here. I was tremendously inspired by his humor and work unrelated to his movies. I loved his number series so much I could eat it up! I purchased his book of illustrated poems, "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories" and sat outside for a couple hours to churn out some Burton-inspired pieces.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY me! Free gift for YOU!
