TACOS!!!!

 I just heard that the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors has proclaimed today "Sacramento Jimboy's Taco Day"

No...I do not live in Sacramento,  but I LOVE Jimboy's tacos. And their rice. DELICIOUS!! 

So guess what I'm going to have for lunch today. That's right. I'm going to run right through their drive through and treat myself  YUM!

I just thought everyone would  need to know so I've done my part to get the word out. 😄

Feelin' Spooky?

Okay all my colorers!

I have been playing with products that I purchased last year at the Expo and decided that some of you might have fun with them as well. 

These are my original samples and the first I have made for each. I have made them using stuff right out of my scraps so the ones you would be making might have some slight differences. I'm showing these because I'm going to offer the class very soon after I return so you will have them in plenty of time with them before Halloween. The dates and times will be decided depending on what works for all of you. 

The class fee is going to be $19.50. It will include the crazy witch shoes and you will be making Frankie in two ways. One colored (on the right) and one paper pieced (on the left). The insides will be done and these are the slimline cards that are all the rage right now, so envelopes will be included with each one. 

Let me know if you are interested and we will get this scheduled as soon as I return. Please give me times that would NOT work for you...day or night, to help me decide the whens and wheres. 

Also, I'm working on a Christmas workshop that will be offered soon after, so keep that in mind. The projects can be used on cards or as beautiful Christmas ornaments. 

 

Happy National Cheeseburger Day!!

That's right, today was a day to celebrate cheeseburgers. There's just nothing like a really good one!

Some of my favorites are Five Guy's, Red Robin, and Steak and Shake which is where I celebrated the day. I had never been to one until I held one of my crops at a hotel where there was one right next door.  It was DELICIOUS so I of course wanted one again. 

So funny story....a friend of mine was walking over and offered to get mine for me. She came back with it and the trouble began. First of all I ordered a side of baked beans which were on the menu. They informed her that they didn't sell them. They had chili beans which is what I really wanted but they didn't mention that to her. Secondly there was some problem about the onions. I don't remember what anymore and finally they charged me for my soda but did not give it to me. That was the final straw and I went marching over to complain. Once there they blamed the mix up on my friend saying she misunderstood something or other. When I got back to the crop I told her that they had thrown her under the bus and she said "That's it! Now I'm going over there!" I thought she was kidding but off she went. When she came back we took this picture so I could scrapbook it posterity. 

I'm surprised we haven't been banned. 

And yes.....

I am wearing pajamas. It was the New Year's Eve crop which had a Pajama Party theme. Everyone however did not participate. I'm not naming any names but the picture points out one of my non-participants. 

Here's a picture of some of us who joined in. 

Now...

Back to the cheeseburgers. 

My friend and I obviously didn't boycott Steak and Shake after our experience. Hey, the hamburgers are just TOO good! So there we were today to celebrate cheeseburger's big day. 

Here's mine. Doesn't it look delicious?

Trust me, it was. I usually save half my burger for later, but not today. It was delicious that I ate the whole thing. 

I WILL be enjoying cheeseburgers again and I WON'T be waiting to enjoy them only once a year.
