Hey There Cupcake! {Giveaway Post!}

I truly cannot believe I’m actually awake. Camp is kicking my booty (a bit of gained weighed and a long school year will do that to a person!) but I have something really cool for you all.

Just a little “Thank You”.

See, I’m fiercely loyal to my friends who are loyal to me. I have some friends I see all the time, and some who, for one reason or another, a long time will pass between times we see each other.

My friend Hillary is one of those friends.

Hillary and I met our sophomore year of high school, and really became friends our junior year. We’d occupy our morning free periods meticulously eating warm bagels from the cafeteria. We had a “way” that we’d eat them. First, a terrible plastic butter knife (always shared) would be used to cut through the bagels. Then, we’d each take our own knives and split the little one-ounce container of cream cheese into two very even halves. We’d scoop them out onto the poorly-cut bagel halves and allow them to sit a minute to soften, then we’d spread them very evenly across the bagels.

We’d doodle endlessly through Mrs. Holman’s honor’s U.S. History class, filling the margins of our half-sized Five-Star notebooks with black and white squiggles, lines, pictures, and letters. We’d fill up the empty boxes of our Chandler’s assignment notebooks with notes to each other, joking about whatever boy was the flavor of the week.

While we may not see each other often, Hillary and I have remained good friends, and I was THRILLED when she started a fashion and design blog of her own called Anxious Alphabet. This led to her fantastic Etsy store by the same name. She’s taken her doodles to a whole new level and now designs amazing notecards.

Which she’s done for you…

Here’s a little something from Hillary to explain:
