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!

Language Plays, Billiard Balls, and Some "Interesting" Wine

 I always look forward to the new **Art*Journal*Journey* Theme each month. The May theme was chosen by Elle and she chose Language as the theme. So many cool things you can do with that theme.  This weekend I chose to do the Language(s) of God in my Journaling Bible.  When I started, I was going to do Fasting as a way of speaking to God but after listening to a Sermon on Fasting, I realized that was more complicated and I would have to study it more first. So I switched gears midstream and just did some of ways that God speaks to us and vice versa.  There are many more, but I put the ones I could think of quickly here.   The papers are from an old hymnal and Close to My Heart (CTMH).  The gnome is CTMH as well.  Now I have played with all the gnomes in the set,and I totally love them. While looking for the hymnal paper, I ran across an old song book that I was saving.  It was damaged so I knew it would have to be recycled into something....

A Covered Bridge, a Shotgun Wedding, Patton Wisdom, and Some Art

 On our recent vaction, hubby and I got back to our historical marker seeking.  This time we visited the Clarkson Covered Bridge. It is super long and very cool.  We also found a website HERE that has a mapped out tour of Alabama where you can visit 7 in one day - a fun trip for a Fall weekend.  This is the only picture I took of the bridge. The day before, we visited the Patton Musuem at Ft. Knox, Kentucky and viewed Ft. Knox from as close as they will let you get. They say there is still a ton of gold in Ft. Knox - trillions of dollars worth.  We liked the Patton Museum.  I don't agree with most of Patton's management style, but do respect that he accomplished much.  I was impressed with some of his leadership statements like this one which I totally agree with: They have some fabulous items at the museum - hubby could have looked for hours and hours if I had let him. They have planes, tanks, and other vehicles there too so you can see exactly what ...
