need a break

Thought i'd update real quick as i wait for my dinner date to arrive. ap is out of town for the weekend so my friend will be over to keep me company for the night. And seriously - all i've been thinking about is what we should eat for dinner. Sometimes, i think about dinner ideas all day! So indecisive....but I think I'll suggest The Counter tonight. Some sweet potato fries sound so good right now. We deserve the treat since we couldn't make it for wine tasting to SB with Caroline - I really wanted to go and see the newly engaged girl's glow!

With the hubs out of my hair (haha~!) for the day and sister at a wedding she's part of, I actually got more gocco work done without them. Usually they help me...well, ap just opens the door to let the ink air out when I ask, so scratch that - I actually got more work done without sis. She's the best support & help but sometimes, you know when you just work best alone? Today was that day. Gocco is so fun & amazing but the task can seem so daunting before I begin. But today, I got on a roll! Here are some cards I finished up and add'l little somethins' I made. I need to gocco personalized names on the boy/girl silhouette cards, but c's almost here so I wrapped it up for the day.
I actually wanted to put the wording horizontal but I couldn't do it with my small gocco space so I just did it to the side. I think it turned out better than expected though.
These Eiffel Tower cards are on Paper Source Luxe cards so there's more texture which really fits the print and its mood than on just plain smooth cardstock.
In case you didn't notice - those bicycles are tandem. Hence, "better together". Totally got the idea while listening to Jack Johnson! :)
I need to personalize these. How cute will that be! Can't wait.
These were made from scraps of paper I had leftover. I didn't want to just throw them away so they worked out perfectly! These will add such character to any gift!
Ulrich is in town this weekend so we'll probably spend tomorrow with him so I think my gocco can be put away for the weekend. Next up is to tackle invitations & calendar. Thank God I ran out of cardstock today because I would've started on the invitations and probably make c just sit and watch tv in the living room and forget about dinner. She just called and said she's passing Culver City - ahhh I'm about to pass out from hunger! I think I'll make myself a sandwich while I wait...otherwise, I don't even know if I'll make it to The Counter.
