Burnt Toast Originals

We started off as party girls in the early 80s and have morphed into craft party girls as the years fly by. Immediate friends from my first term at college, Lori and I have remained on some crazy cosmic level for almost 30 years. Here's a picture of us laughing our heads off way back when. I made this little shadow box for her as a birthday present. The caption reads, "...and then he squeezed his lips through the crack of the door and said I want pep-a-WO-ni." "He" is Ian, who is from England and couldn't pronounce his Rs, which cracked everyone up when in a "hazy" state of mind – if you get my drift. This tiny little moment wasn't such a big deal but had us doubled over hysterical in a closet where we were hiding from the rest of the party so that we could hear the pizza guy on the phone. I don't know if we ever ordered it!



And here we are in recent years outside our favorite Thai restaurant. We love the drunken noodles!


What does this have to do with Craft Party Girl? Lori and I started making some really bad crafts in the late 90s when we both lived close enough together to get together and hang out again. (We were all over the country for many years and there was no immediate social contact medium other than a phone back then.) Our crafts have evolved and we both create lovely art and paint rooms among other things. WE ARE... BURNT TOAST, but we're also craft party girls.
