Jazz Night at Great Sage

I've been in Maryland for three years and I just finally got around to going to Jazz Night at the Great Sage! Sometimes it just takes a Bucket List, right?

Matt ordered a few Dark and Stormys, I had myself La Rosette (rose champagne with organic elderberry liqueur) and a decadent chocolate cupcake (vegan and to die for), we listened to a fun jazz band that threw in a flute, and it was just perfect.

I love Date Night, don't you?

27 Things Before 27

I love finding new artists that expand my creative horizons and teach me new techniques. When I found Michelle, I was in love, and I knew I had to try out some of her use of color with bold outlines. Her bucket list inspired me, and so I made one of my own.
