Partying
We celebrated a close family friend's 90th birthday last weekend. Her daughters threw the party at a North Beach art gallery, North Beach Bauhaus. It made me stop and think about what an amazing person she is and all the people she has made an impact on with her incredible spirit, intelligence and wit. If only we could all live as full and rich lives.

Receiving
Elissa gave me one of her sketches from SoFA Sketch. How cool is this?? A little landscape in a globe. I love it so much.
Jeremiah Harada postcard and Etsy pin
I got some cool stuff in the mail this week! On Monday, Etsy sent me this awesome pin just because and my friend Jeremiah Harada sent me this sweet drawn postcard.
Loot from Michael Hsiung - my new favorite shirt!
I also got this Parabo Press risograph print. The Jealous Curator had posted that her first 100 readers to sign up would get a free print of one of their photographs. I chose this scene of a Moroccan rooftop from my trip last year. Pretty cool, huh? You can have your photos transformed and printed a variety of ways through the app.
Shipping
I've been shipping lots of 100 Day Project calendars this week. Someone even ordered 6! Thanks for all your support!

My 100 Day/SoFA Sketch. I finished it at home later that night.
This week we ran our final SoFA Sketch for the year. It started in July and we kept it going the 4th Wednesday of every month. For December, we met a week earlier since the 23rd seemed a little too close to Christmas. These last few months have been some of my favorite. SO many good artists and everyone is so great to be around.
