Birthdays

Last week it was my sister’s birthday. The date of her birthday was always kind of a curse to her, being in the middle of the summer, so most of her birthdays there were just a few friends who didn’t escape town for summer holiday and could come to the party. But now as we live in another city it’s a treat that we can come home for her birthday. And the bad economy also helps (i <3 silver linings) cause most of our friends are also in town spending time at the local swimming pool. And how weird is that she has better birthday parties now than as a kid. So this is how I wrapped her present and the card I made (me so proud). The paper is from some Jazz magazine in Italian(we don’t understand) that we buy for the cds they gift. Both of us always saved the pretty wrapping papers and I always wanted the one I can tear excitedly to see my gift, so I took this one for that purpose. She didn’t tear it though:/, she kept the hole thing just carefully took out the gift. Next time i’ll make it uglier...
