visiting raquel

in case you can't read the bunting, it says: "WELCOME ANGELINA"
my sister made it with her friends for me & hung it right above the bed she made for me in her dorm room. it was one of the first things i saw when i arrived & i loved it so much. thanks raquel : )

these two above photos taken by sammy.

i 'm so happy to be visiting my sister! i have not seen her since the first weekend of this year. too long for me!

she had the whole weekend planned with fun. she took me to a photography museum. i loved the work by mirjam droege & the collection of old cameras.
she took me antiquing & i found this little guy for my fawn collection. at first i thought he looked a little ugly... but he grew on me : )
i got to meet up with one of my favorite persons, abbie, for some time as well. she went with me, raquel, & sammy to unique la.

unique la was amazing! so many booths of crafts, clothes, jewelry, & much more. there was free drinks, free crafting workshops, & free tote bags that we could fill with all kinds of swag, including a t-shirt : ) i bought two zines: arts & crafts revolution vol. 2 by terri anderson ($4) & stolen sharpie revolution: a diy zine resource 3rd ed. by alex wrekk ($5). i just started reading them & i already love them both.

& a weekend of photos by lina is not complete with out some food photos! we found this really good indian food restaurant. i love my indian food : ) i leave tonight to fly home. it's been a good weekend, but now it's time for the last two/three weeks of my bachelor degree/college career. i think i'm going to go crazy with the amount of projects, papers, & finals i will have to do & turn in soon. aaaahhhh.

brit, dandelionkisses, & mike: for the bread on a stick - all i used was some pre-made biscuit dough you get packaged in the refrigerated section of grocery stores. i rolled it into a long line & then twisted it around a stick. then just held it over a hot campfire & rotated it so it would cook on all sides. it's super easy!

elizabeth johnson: hello! i had never heard of it before either! but it was part of a requirement for the youth group to earn a honor patch : )

dandelionkisses: hehe travel cover! i like it. yeah, the hike was so crazy.
