Hello friends, Isn't this new House Mouse Image the cutest? I am so glad that Spellbinders has partnered with House Mouse and brought in new images. I was inspired to add birch trees and snow after seeing THIS pretty card. The snow is done with Snowtex which is one of my favorite winter mediums, and I painted the birch trees with black acrylic paint mixed with water and painted with an old credit card. Everything else was painted with Daniel Smith watercolors. This is being entered in the HMFMC#402 which is Anything Goes with an option of rainbow. While you might not think of a rainbow when you see this card, I actually used a lot of colors in the painting: yellows, browns, pinks, reds, and blues. Some are not obvious because they are mixed with other colors or a very light. Thanks for dropping by. I have been a little under the weather lately, but I am feeling much better. Hugz, Nancy
Happy T-day! Our favorite local restaurant is Fox's Pizza Den where they have great pizza, sandwiches, pasta and salads. They also have a Bourbon Bar. Prices range from $7 to almost $1,000 on the bourbon and bourbon drinks. Each holiday, the bourbon bar comes up with fun holiday themed drinks and they decorate the bar too. A few weeks ago, we headed there for lunch and to try one of the new drinks. Here is the holiday drink menu and my tickets to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we share our fun drink related items from the week. Of course, my daughter loves vampire books and movies so she picked the blood bag. I go more for taste so I got the Meet Your Maker - it was wonderful. We shared a pizza and a salad. I forgot to take a picture of the pizza, but I did get one of the salad. It had grilled chicken and potato wedges - super fun. They make their ranch dressing on site and it is wonderful. My husband has been known to drink it so it could actually be my ticke
