Happy Birthday, Michele!















Today is my friend Michele's birthday.  The first time we celebrated her birthday together was at a slumber party at her house in 4th grade;  we will celebrate her birthday together again this year in mid-August.   Pretty amazing to have been friends with somebody for almost 50 years.  Our mothers have told us that we giggle together now exactly the same way we did in grammar school.  Our sense of humor hasn't seemed to change much over all this time.

These postcards feature some of her early illustrations; her more current portfolio is here.  Not only is Michele a talented illustrator, graphic designer, painter and singer, she's also pretty good at being a friend.

Happy Birthday, Michele!  Here's to celebrating many more years together.
