Funny how little things can make us happy, right?
I had high hopes for this beer with it being Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Vanilla, and Coffee flavored. It was a bit too bitter for me. I do love the can and the name.
My little country grocery store started carrying one of my favorite stouts so, of course, I bought some.
It was wonderful - especially with some chocolate! Linking up to the T-Day Party at Elizabeth's blog where we all share drink related pictures, art, movies, etc. (Elizabeth is sharing tea pot art today if you are interested in visiting).
The rest of the week, I will be dieting!
I did get a little crafting in this weekend. I made us a calendar to remember when the baseball games are and where they are located. Our grandsons play baseball in different cities and often on the same night so we have to split up. It was getting a bit confusing so I thought I would make us something a bit more visual. It has helped.
All my images are from DRS Designs.
Also a card.
I needed to make a bunch of thank you cards for work and I made several versions of the above card using an old and inked up embossing folder. (using distress ink sprized with water). The jar is from Red Lead Paperworks and the flowers are Close To My Heart (words are Stamping Up!).
Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!
Hugz,
Nancy
Good morning, I have never had one of those pretty cups of coffees they are awesome looking glad you found one nearby. I love the calendar you made for all the baseball games-that was a really good idea and I love it. beautiful card too enjoy seeing your work Hugs Happy T
ReplyDeleteYou find the "coolest" beers!!! I am a wee bit jealous I can only look on and not share with you!
ReplyDeletePeanut Butter we have - and beer, too! (We only know what to do with the second!)
Love your calndar page.
I should follow your example with the cards (but then I´m the only woman - do men appreciate this?)
Happy T-Day and hugz
The men I work with do, Iris, but I have to make sure the cards are more masculine than the one here. You have wonderful beers in Germany that we can only dream of here!
DeleteFoam art is great to look at, but the coffee gets cold while the art is being made, so I like to drink it plain! Hot espresso is my thing, and not all barristas have mastered it.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
The beers look great, I'd love to try them too! Your calender page looks such fun and that card is so beautiful 😀. Happy T Day! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteI like peanut butter beers. I haven't tried these, but they have great names. And I bet they were good. Isn't it funny how peanut butter doesn't sound like a good beer addition and it is. I am also loving your card. Sounds like a good week Nancy. Enjoy your T day and week ahead. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeletePeanut butter stout?! I've never heard of such. What a fun change that would be :) Happy T Tuesday
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of the beers you mention but I like the graphics on the cans. The calendar looks handy and I really like your card.
ReplyDeleteLove yur various drinks and the heart on the coffee, looks good. And beautiful art, too. Happy T Day, and have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThose lattes are lovely- to look at and enjoy and savor too. Not so sure about those beers though;) Love your beautiful thank you card, and that's a great idea for keeping up with the baseball schedule! Happy T day, and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteVery nice cup of coffee. However, the beer is fabulous. Where do you find them? We have one store that has different kinds of beer but not like these. Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteNicole, I find them in weird places. The first one is from a coffee shop 30 miles from home on the second from our local grocery way out in the middle of no where (the owner loves interesting beer and wine so we are lucky). You should speak to the store owner and see if they are willing to be adventurous.....
DeleteOh, I love all the texture on your card. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of peanut butter beer. That sounds, well, interesting.
Your calendar is fabulous and looks like the perfect solution for a visual reminder.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Nancy, your calendar and card are beautiful. I really like the background of the card. However, I'm not a fan of flavored beer, but your heart-coffee looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Nancy, and your calendar is fun. I am not a beer drinker, but Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Vanilla, flavored beer? I might be tempted to taste it, but since you already did, and didn't think it wonderful, I guess I won't have to taste it! Happy T Day.
ReplyDeleteI've never had one of those cups of beautiful coffee. I have only seen them in photos. Glad you got to experience the event and photograph it, too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE STOUT, and that white stout sounds incredible. I want some, too!! I have never heard a Porter called a stout before. Stouts have always used barley and I am sure that Porters use malt. Regardless, I hope you like both of these drinks, Nancy. They are both absolutely perfect for T this Tuesday, too.
Your calendar is very visual and I like that. Your card is quite lovely, too. Most impressive.
YOu are correct, Elizabeth - it is a Porter not a Stout - I just got mixed up!
DeleteAmazing what people can do with some cream in the coffee. I don't care for beer, but the cans and names are fun. Very cool to make the calendar so you can make the baseball games. Your greeting cards are always delightful. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, Sorry i'm visiting late.. Decided to go golfing yesterday with hubby so i'm behind on a few visits. I love coffee art too... but i can't say i enjoy beer, some of the flavors today though.. i may have to give a try. lol Lovely lovely card too! Happy Belated Tday! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteYour beers do sound tasty, maybe if you add some lemonade to the bitter one and make it into a shandy it might take the edge off the bitterness. Love your card, that jar stamp is a good one. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
ReplyDeleteI am a huge coffee fan and love that heart art! A brilliant idea to make a calendar for reminders about the grand's games and your card is so beautiful with the texture and pretty jar of flowers! Happy Easter weekend friend!
