A Very Colorful Birthday

Saturday was my birthday.  I turned 32.  That still seems old to me...the number at least... I don't feel old, although sometimes I think my body must be about 60 lol.  Anyways... I began my birthday celebration by doing The Color Run... a 5K that results in participants being covered in color!  So, today I wanted to share some photos of the festivities with you!!

Here I am before:

and some after photos:

I was unsure of this event at first because it is quite expensive, but it was so much fun.  It was a great way to celebrate my birthday!

And, FYI, if you are planning on doing this - the color does not come out/off easily.  My sports bra is still colored even though I washed it 4 times - twice with bleach - and I scrubbed my arms in the shower until they hurt and I was still purple and blue!  So, if you do this, plan on wearing something you don't care about and plan on being colorful all day.

August Happy Art Swap Cards

Another feature of cards I received as part of Sandie's Happy Art Swap.  These cards came in the mail for the August Swap!!  My first card was made by Mivi:

Mivi did not give an instagram or blog on the back of her card, but thanks for the lovely words Mivi!!

My second card was made by Katie:

July Happy Art Swap

Hey friends!  Today I am sharing my cards from July's Happy Art Swap!  First, I got this card made by Lisa:

You can find her on instagram at Soccerlisa1.  My photo makes it somewhat hard to read what the card says so I will tell you... "replace fear of the unknown with curiosity."

My next card was made by Aleca:

Her instagram is AleciaMaria.  This card says "Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end"... she quoted "seneca" and I have no clue who that is.  When I hear this quote I think of the song Closing Time by Semisonic.

My last card was made by Cindy:

Her instagram is artquitgirl  - I really like the stamp she used!!

I LOVE getting art in the mail which is why this swap is so enjoyable.  If you want to play then you do, if you are too busy one month no biggie.  It's awesome.  Check out Sandie's blog for more information.

Tomorrow I will be showing you the cards I got for August's swap!!  Thanks for stopping by, "see" you soon.
