If you're goin to San Francisco...

My brother Ryan is moving to San Francisco to go to the Art Institute. As a going-away/birthday/happy-living-on-your-own-for-the-first-time present I decided to make him a clock. So I bought a clock at the store and took it apart and took out the paper part that has the numbers on it. Then I traced it and painted a picture of San Francisco in that shape and then put some numbers on it. I put it back in the clock and put the hands back on and ta-dum! A fun personalized present for Ryan's first apartment. This was way easy and fun to make. I think I might do it again sometime.








Also tonight (after a hilarious evening with the McNaughtans-- they LET us be their servants, can you believe how lucky we are?) we ended up on an adventure with Emily McDonough. She had heard that Colors was having a reunion concert so we randomly decided to go. The concert was pretty good, but Emily was hilarious. Adam and I laughed so hard as we hung out (and froze and rolled down hills as at an incredible pace) with her. Any time you're up for the next adventure, Em, we're there!! (and hopefully next time B won't have to study).

I'm so bummed I didn't know about the concert. I love Colors. Did you get to talk to Russ after? I keep telling Wendy she needs to marry him.
