Cheers!

THANK YOU ladies for a very fun evening, I really needed that and I think that all in attendance totally earned it!

Thanks to a wonderful gal, I now have a fun place to take a friend from out of town ... Valerie, there is a drink with your name on it here! OR even my in town friends. I think my husband, daughter and I need to have lunch on the deck one of these fine summer days!

I have to say that I was rather intrigued by the margarita machines at the Island Cafe! I WANT ONE, but it probably wouldn't be that practical in my kitchen huh? They actually have four lined up in their bar area. How cool would that be?

As for other things, lots of changes and not much crafting. As you can see I have taken up drinkin' instead! LOL Work has been one big ball of stress to put it nicely, but after a few changes, we have one of the best teachers ever, my blood pressure has taken a huge nosedive! WHEW ... it was a hell of a ride! Kitty is doing well after her female surgery, family is great ... sunshine on the way this weekend, what more can you ask for? Well, besides the margarita machines that is!

My husband, daughter and family spoiled me on Mother's Day. I woke up to Janelle bringing me a gift and a card. She gave me a heart shaped magnet made of pink colored rice, the night before. (she couldn't wait) Then I got a cool CD - hits from the 70's ... some great songs! Rick pulled on his sweats and headed to Starbucks, returning with my skinny mocha and a hot chocolate for Janelle. My front porch is sportin' a beautiful fuschia plant that Rick hung up and then told Janelle to have Mom look out the front door ... awwwhhhh. Rick gave that to me, from Janelle the night before as well ... guess he couldn't wait either. Janelle made me a card at school that is absolutely adorable ... it's a real keeper! :) When we went to my parents to visit my Mom, she had Janelle give me a gift (from Janelle) it is a yard ornament that is a ... hmmm maybe a porcupine, maybe a possum. It is kind of a joke, because we have had some possum problems over the past few years in our area. So, this cute possum can sit out back as a decoy! Thanks my lovelies ... I have a wonderful Mother's Day! (smooch)

I actually got a new Stampin' Up order this last week. I have lots of new toys to play with and I have scheduled my next workshop. I can't wait to play with the new Sizzix textured impressions sleeve that fits in my Cuttlebug machine!
