The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe. It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun! Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce. This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with. So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event. We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here. We danced and sang birthday songs. The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates. We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life. Ahhh...memories.

I love cats, unfortunately I don't have any right now. I had some great pets in the past and made a collage of them. My cats were Purrcilla, Oliver and Mystr. Purrcilla was all black and the others black and white. Hm...color theme again? I took some pictures of them and used a copy machine, not a scanner, to make the collage. Some images were enlarged to various sizes and because I used a copier instead of a scanner/printer, there are different shades on the pictures. I laid out the pictures before glueing them and didn't realize until it was finished that it kind of resembled the shape of a cat sitting. This is a favorite of mine because it reminds me of my beloved pets. This is also a project that anyone can do, it's a great way for kids to be creative and to also use up old magazines. You can collage anything from landscapes to portraits.
