better late than never

The cold I had recently really screwed things up, time-wise. I have so much laundry to do, and I am still feeling sort of exhausted from being ill (even on Thursday, my friend Sam asked me if I was getting a cold, but apparently this one is still lingering, and he could hear it in my voice), so Mother's Day was sort of a wash, as I was not able to shop properly for something for my mom.

Anyway, I am always getting her little things throughout the year, but I've been working on this, and I think she'll like it:



I dunno. It sort of feels like one of those things where I am giving her a crude crayoned drawing to put on the fridge door, but I think it turned out a lot better than I expected, since my printer's pretty old, and I am not exactly a digital-to-print expert. They're little pieces of Chicago, close to my heart.

very beautiful. She is a lucky mom.

Make sure to sign the backs in crayon:

"KRYSTYN AGE (ahem)" with the R and N backwards.

Heee! I did initial them, and give the locations of the photos. The first is Diversey Ave at Kimball, and then the second one is from when I was at Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago, doing favors for Lucky. :) There were simply piles of leaves everywhere, in a thick, goldeny orangey yellow carpet.
