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.  

Hugz,

  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.

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Halloween Lunch Pictures and Some Art

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 know...

Dreams of Fall, Numbers, and a Cool Drink

I hate to admit it, but I am already looking forward to Fall!  That is also the theme for this House Mouse card I finished up today. I stamped this 2009 Turning Over a New Leaf (Monica) image on the envelope too because the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #392 theme is decorate your envelope too.  On the card, I stamped the image, popped up some of the leaves and drew in some branches.  The background and leaves are watercolored with DOX ink.  Monica is colored with pencils and watercolor.   I sure wished it was Fall on Saturday when we were watching our youngest grandson at the 6U All Star State Championship. It was very hot. His team lost in the semi-finals. We were very proud of how hard they played. Speaking of baseball, I did two pages on our two All-Stars. I am linking them up to the Numbers theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .  I have numbers in the journaling and there are numbers on their jerseys.   The All Stars cap ...
