Funky Beer, a Future Roadtrip, and Some Art

Hello friends!

I discovered a fun beer this week at my local rural grocery store (still surprizes me that they find such interesting beers!).  

It is a coffee milk stout from Wiseacre Brewing Company in Memphis, Tennessee.  The name and the can are creative and the beer was outstanding.  I looked them up online and now I want to go visit and try a bunch of their beers - check them out HERE.  They have a restaurant and store too so I am feeling a weekend trip may be in the cards for me after peewee football season is over - lol!

This is my ticket to T-day which I totally missed but I am going to link up anyway and check out what all the other T-day gang has been up to over at Elizabeth's blog (our clubhouse). 

A little art from the week to share too.

Back to school card for my youngest grandson to give to his teacher - I did some stamp surgery on a Sassy Cheryl image and added in his little face from a recent picture. 


Had to make another one for another grandson:


A cute cat and dog card (images are all DRS Designs).  I cut the heads off three stamped images to make this tic-tac-toe grid.  The card fold was cased from Lisa Curcio who was the Featured Stamper this week at Splitcoaststampers.com.  If you want to see her card click HERE.  


Hope you are all having a fabulous week and happy late T-day!

Hugz,

Nancy

    I am so glad I checked the links today. I got caught up in the beer link you sent and I was reminded that I have had Irish Stout (Guinness, of course) and American Stout (Red Hook Brewery in Seattle where I took the tour, and Samuel Adams Stout, which a friend bought at a local liquor store. I would LOVE to visit that store in Memphis. Their Milk Stout sounds wonderful. Sadly, I doubt we get it here. We also have a local brewery that makes stout. When we go, everyone orders the combination, which comes with five different beers. No one wants the stout, so I get everyone else's. I am SO glad you shared this beer and the link, too.

    Those are adorable cards. I bet the teachers will feel extra happy and your grandsons will stand out to the recipients. Nice way to put their foot forward. You are a great advocate for those boys, dear.

    Thanks for sharing those adorable cards and your Milk Stout with us for T this week, dear Nancy.

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them.

Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around.

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
