Blue Milk, Butter Beer, a Stinger and Banana Margaritas

Happy T-day!  I have some fun drinks to share with the T-day gang at Elizabeth's Linky Party and for anyone else who just loves interesting drink posts.

The first fun drink is butter beer (non-alcholic) at Universal Studios in Orlando.  My daughter Allie raised this glass to me knowing how much I wish I was there this past weekend.  Isn't it a great picture?

She also sent me this Star Wars Blue Milk picture too.  Evidently it is a cool thing to drink when you go to Universal Studios.
The weekend before she left for Universal, we went to the Prevail Union coffee shop in downtown Montgomery, Alabama and had a fabulous drink called the Alabama Stinger.  I highly recommend it - I could have drank 2 or 3 of them!  We had never visited this shop and it was definitely worth the time and money - click on the link to see some fun pictures.  Here is a picture of us outside the courtyard door.
I saved the best for last.  In this one we are celebrating that Alex has her job lined up after her graduation this May. They are even letting her work there part time so she can be ready to hit the ground running when she graduates.  It was the job she wanted, so I am super happy for her.  Here we are celebrating with Banana Margaritas at our favorite Mexican Restaurant.
If you are interested in joining up with your fun drink posts (can be any type of drink and can include movies or books with drinks, painting with drinks, artwork with drinks, etc.) just link up to Elizabeth's blog, Altered Book Lover.

  2. Those definitely are fun drinks! Blue milk is especially strange and entertaining. Most of the space-opera type films have very little food in them, or maybe just disgusting stuff that the aliens eat. Although of course Luke Skywalker DID have blue milk in the first movie, some kind of stew made by Yoda, and some granola type thing. But that's in what? 10 movies?

  6. These all look fun. A banana margarita...hmmmm. Not sure banana is a flavor I like. But I definitely want to try butter beer and the blue milk would be worth a try too. But best of all, that is a fantastic photo of you and your daughter Nancy. Congrats to Alex. How awesome is that. I hope her job goes well. Have a great T day, and and week ahead. hugs-Erika

  7. What a fun selection of drinks! Never heard of butter beer. I'd like to try the wildflower latte at Prevail Union:). Congrats to your daughter- how wonderful to have gotten such a great job! Thanks for sharing these special drinks. Happy T day!

  8. Fun drinks these are for sure! Blue milk reminds me of blue soup that became so popular in Britain after the first Bridget Jones movie. I'm not sure what butter beer is, it sounds a bit weird. I love the name Alabama Stinger for your coffee drink. Congrats to your daughter for lining up the job she wanted, that's fantastic.

  9. How fun! I would love to visit Universal Studios. When we were in Florida last week, my brother bought a Disney Parks Cookbook for his wife and that blue milk recipe was included! SO cool!
    Glad you had fun with your daughter. That is great that she already has a job lined up.
    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

  14. I've never heard of butter beer, but if it's non-alcoholic, I suspect I would like it. I had to laugh at the blue milk, not because it is what your daughter drank, but because my friend Sally buys 1/2 % milk and I call it blue water. It has a blue tint to it. I like the idea of blue milk, though.

    Nice to see you and Allie at Prevail. I want the HVR latte, please. Not iced because it is colder than cold here right now.

    Congrats to Alex on getting her dream job. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful drinks with us for T this week, dear Nancy.

Flowers, a Flag, and Some Wise Words

Hello Crafty Friends! I love Halle's theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* this month: Botanicals. So many possibilities... I combined the botanical theme with some of the colors in ARTNUDGE#725A and came up with this Bible Art Journal page focusing on 1 Timothy 2:1-2. I also made a patriotic prayer card too. In these verses, Paul tells Timothy (and all of us) to pray for everyone but he especially calls out prayer for kings and leaders. He indicates that this type of prayer could lead us to a tranquil and quite life in all godliness and dignity. I think we can all agree that the world needs much prayer right now and it is an easy step we can take.   I experimented on this journal page. I usually cover any bible journal pages with gesso before painting on them, but I have issues with the gesso gumming up my Micron pens or unevenly taking color. This time I used Daniel Smith Ground Medium in Titanium White (I mixed it with 10 parts water). I loved it and will be using it in the fut...

Wise Words for Life's Storms

 My first post as a Guest Designer for Creative Worship Stamps. This watercolor and ink card features one of my favorite CWS sentiments - Big God . I am so grateful He is there in storms and this stamp beautifully underscores His power. The main panel of this card is watercolor paper and was painted with Daniel Smith Watercolors and Liquid Ink (the white highlights in the rain drops). The words were stamped with black ink from Close to My Heart. Hugz, Nancy

The Sea, Words of Courage, and Some Ink/Watercolor

Hello friends, Last week felt like a stormy sea of its own with my husband recovering from recent hip replacement surgery and several friends and family members facing life battles - my heart was caught in the waves. Computer issues and lack of sleep didn't help. Mark 4:39-41 reminded me: even when the winds rage, Jesus is in the boat. He speaks peace over the chaos. “Peace, be still.” I needed that reminder. Several lovely Creative Worship Stamps sets were used in the making of this watercolored and inked BAJ page: The Sea (the boat and verse), Scene Silhouettes: Tall Grasses, and Have Courage . This page was stamped, then watercolored with Daniel Smith Watercolors. I finished it off with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Vintage Photo, Mustard Seed, and Ground Expresso), plus a little bit of Silver Stickles. We have a lot of things going on in life and you time is precious, thank you for spending a little bit with me.  Hugz, Nancy
