To appease the troops

This is a picture of the final member of the Roberson Clan (Dudee).
Frank and Faith wouldn't leave me alone until I put him on the blog so here he is. He is chewing on a catnip cigar in this picture.

Backstory: I have 4 four legged babies with Christmas names
Holly Dae - Westie
Jack Frost - West
Pumpkin Pie (Punky) - Cat
Gingerbread (Dude) - Cat.... When he was a little kitten Frankie didn't think Ginger was a boy cats name so he called him little dude but now everyone calls him Dude. Except for me I still say his name is Gingerbread. I am holding on to the dream.

Pilgramige to Gaithersburg

Hello all!!!

Backstory: Tammy and I went to Buca di Beppo when we were in Salt Lake City and I loved the food. I went online and found that we have one about 45 minutes from our house. Frankie knew a shortcut..

So we are fat and sassy and back from BUCA!!! it was so good. We went to Gaithersburg today to have our anniversary dinner. Thursday was actually our 8th anniversary we can hardly believe it. We have been together 9 years now and married for 8. Where did the time go!!!! As usual there was one extra person celbrating with us. Faith of course goes everywhere with us so here are the three of us in the car afterwards.

We then went to the Whole Foods store to pick up Faith's Cotswald cheese. When we were in Philadelphia last summer with Lori we went to the Reading Market and Faith fell in love with this gourmet cheese and I didn't remember how much it was until I researched the price. Apparently this cheese comes all the way from England. She has expensive taste already. I pity the young man who wants to marry her. :)

Well I am going to flop down and relax after the big meal... Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Last of the pictures from last night.

Here are the final pictures of last night's party. That Laura has such great ideas. I may have to have her over after I decide on my projects and have her do them Laura style to get some new ideas. She can become a creative team member:) I love this little scrapbook page so much I am probably going to try and do it this weekend.

Here are the first set of photos

Angie's Halloween Stampin Up! Party

I had a great time with a the girls last night. Here are some of the people and projects that were there. It is fun to see what creative things people can make from your creations. The winner of creativity is Laura with the curled up corner and again Laura with the spiderweb rub on for the scrapbook page.

I am learning so much too from doing these parties. I am going to have to order some Decor Elements now and some more craft ink. I will be doing a table scape at the next party but am also going to demonstrate Decor Elements. I had a couple of requests. I have a leaf set that I will be showing how to stamp on the wall. If you have any suggestions for how to make a faux wall I would love to hear it.

Enjoy the slideshow.

I will have pictures later of our Anniversary Pilgramage to Gaithersburg. We are going to have fabulous Bucca di Beppo and find Faith some Cotswald Cheese. That's a story for later. Have a great day.
