Butterscotch Beer and Hot Buttered Rum

 Hello Friends.

It's T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we always celebrate a drink of some type (drinks in art, books, pictures, gifts, dinners, etc.).  Happy T-day if you celebrate it. 

My youngest daughter gave me a lovely butterscotch beer last week, and I drank it with one of my grandsons today.  I loved it and wish there was more than one bottle - lol.  It was non-alcoholic and tasted like a very flavorful cream soda. I love the label too. 

I also made some ATCs today to celebrate Hot Buttered Rum day (January 17th).  They are for an ATC exchange where the theme is to pick an unusual holiday.  I picked this one because I thought it would be fun to draw some rum bottles or cups of hot buttered rum (I did both). The images are from Artistic Expressions (the men) and Rubbernecker (the window and greenery).  I did draw the bottles and the cup.  I added a bunch of gold around the edges of everything, the cane, and the windows because the Splitcoaststampers.com CAS challenge today was to use gold. 
I have to go back to work tomorrow after being off over a week, and it is going to be tough!

Hugz, 

Nancy

    Going back to work after vacation is never easy, is it? But it sounds like you had a great week off. Those ATC's are amazing. I love that holiday. I bet that beer was tasty; it sounds it. And I'm bummed too you're going to be so far off. It would have been great to meet and have a peanut butter stout or something yummy together. Happy T day Nancy. hugs-Erika

    Happy T Nancy, I Love your atc's those are really pretty cool. I would try your non alcohol beer sounds really good although it probably has some wheat in it. I love the label too.
    Good luck on your first day back to work after vacation-I remember how hard that was. The best thing for me when I retired-no more driving to work, have a good week hugs Kathy

    What a cool "beer"!
    There is a Hot Buttered Rum day?! I have never seen hot buttered rum here.
    Mind you. Weeks and weeks ago I bought 4 little bottles of rum. They are still untouched!!
    Cool-cute ATCs :-)
    Hope you love your work as much as I do (have the week still off) Hugz and happy T-Day

    Butterscotch beer sounds very Harry Potter doesn't it. Love your unusual holiday ATCs. We are still on xmas holidays here but it will be a struggle when they are over. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx

    This is a generic copy and paste because I have so many I need to visit. I have been offline since early Tuesday morning. Not only did I lose internet and phone, I also lost heat and electricity. Thank goodness for extra blankets, layering, and two very warm fur babies. Just wanted you to know why you haven't heard from me.

    That beer sounds like cream soda, which I can no longer find anywhere. LOVE the ATCs. Thanks for joining T Tuesday this week, dear. Sorry you are now back at work!

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
