friendship bag and friends

I had a nice weekend! Friday I received my friendship bag from Kathleen, I LOVE this bag!!!! I had seen it on flickr and fell in love with the entire thing....cuff, bag and button, just darling!! In it she had these cute little finger puppets for my kids...I had to hunt them down to take their picture...

I also had a few chances to hook up with some girlfriends, that does not happen very often and especially twice in one weekend. The first picture is of my good friend Tari and I at this awesome pub in Spokane called The Elk, yummo!! It was so nice to catch up face to face instead of over the phone or email...she lives in North Carolina now with her little family so we don't see each other very often....Saturday night I went out with my SIL, her bff and another friend Sheila...Spokane has a piano bar now and this was a BLAST, I had so much fun just kickin up my heals to dueling pianos of all things...we had a great time as you can see from the picture....
