Summer in the city

So today was sooooooo much fun. I took the train into the city to meet up with a couple of my PugVillage friends Allie & Amber...first thing on our agenda was shopping at Windy City Scrapbooking I have been hearing for ages what a great store this was so I was very excited to finally get to go. This store was hands down the best scrapping store I have ever been to! Every inch of the store was stocked with fun, fabulous stuff and the staff could not have been any nicer. If you are ever in Chicago it is definitely worth the trip.


























































Here are the goodies I picked up today...yes that pp has mushrooms on it, how could I live without that?!


















Elsie chipboard albums that I have been looking everywhere for























Pirate stamps...Aaarrrrrr!
























Amber, me and Allie...i'm not trying to look all cool & stuff, I just forgot I had my sunglasses on :) Gads, i've been using a little self-tanner for 2 weeks now and I still look like a ghost!
















As if that wasn't enough fun, they brought be birthday presents too :) How incredibly cool is this box that Amber altered...Wowza!





















Ooooooh...lookie at what's inside!
























Allie totally gets me...Jenni Bowlin felt birdies and a skeleton...joy!
























We also went to the Shedd aquarium, but I will have to save those pics for another post. Hope you ladies had a safe trip home this afternoon...it was fun!
