MADE A NEW FRIEND

Our once a month girls night out took us to Mark's Feed Store in Middletown. I only wish I could have eaten the b-b-q as that is their main stay. No b-b-q for me since November 2010 due to my sensitivity to tomatoes! So sad! But, I had a great salad with salmon in it. But, boy, did that b-b-q smell great!! Definitely NOT worth the migraine that comes along with the tomatoes (most of the time). Plus, I'm getting ready for Steph's wedding so I'm really watching what I am eating, especially since I gained an ungodly amount since this November. (Reunion, Cruise, Thanksgiving, laziness)


So, on to my new friend...

This is Danny (with Doreen), Doreen's special friend and now he's all of our friend too! He was SO much fun!

Danny, showing off his blingy pockets. He just wouldn't stand still so the picture is a bit blurry. Let's just say Danny loves to wiggle. :D

We had good company; we were only missing 2 people last night. One has been MIA for 2 months (Where are you Karen??) and the other just HAD to move to Arizona. Some excuse! Sometimes Laura joins us by Skype but just couldn't do it in the restaurant. Well, maybe we could have but I didn't think of it and we've used my husband's laptop for the last couple of months. Sorry Laura!

And, what's with the 2 pair of glasses, Pam? Trendsetter, you!!

Of course we couldn't forget our traditional foot picture. See anything different??

Maybe this will give you a hint. It's official. We now have our first honorary Red Hot!

Once again, we had a great evening. Thanks to Doreen for her selection. See you all next month!

RED HOT BINGO

7 of us got together at Mylinda's this month and, as usual for Mylinda, we played bingo. This time it was White Elephant Bingo. Each of us brought a wrapped something to serve as bingo prizes.

And finally, our monthly foot shot...

Congrats to all the winners, especially our big 3X winner, Laura!


We missed you, Barb, Sharon & Doreen. I'll see you all again in June.
Thanks for stopping by!

HALLMARK...EAT YOUR HEART OUT!

The second Wednesday in the month can only mean one thing...Red Hots Night! This month was my turn to arrange the evening. I decided to make good use of the crop room at Tracy's store, Scrap~N~Crap.

November is a busy month for Red Hots with 3 birthdays...alas one birthday girl was MIA...Missed you, Sharon.

I planned an evening of holiday card making since the holiday season was upon us. Everyone had lots of great, original ideas. I'm glad they didn't just copy one of the examples, but were just inspired by them...just what I planned!

The final results! What a creative bunch we are.

Thanks, ladies, for a fun and successful evening!

MATERIAL GIRLS....or... SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE DOLLS!

Last night was Red Hot night and that can only mean something FUN! (oh, I feel a tie-in to this week's OLW challenge!)


This month was Laura's turn and I think she outdid herself. Laura supplied everyone with the base doll pattern and lots of supplies to embellish them. Several of us also brought lots of goodies to share as well. The results were...lots of interesting (to say the least) conversation and insights as well as some questionable versions of ourselves and others. Yeah, "some" of us didn't even use our own photos! I spy with my little eye a little Julianne Hough in there (way on the left with the pink boobs!) Doreen even sent her little spinning doll by mail. How dare she sun her self in Florida while we brave the weather here!!

Close up of my doll

I really like mine but not too sure about the lace sleeves.

Thank you, Laura, for the fabric heart and the beads for the bracelet and for the pattern and for setting up and for picking up dinner and for...your fun evening!

Thanks for stopping by!
