T is for Treats Like Voodoo Child and Cookie Monster and Watercolored Flowers

Hello friends.

In one of the towns next to us, they have a great coffee house, so our family decided to grab a coffee and ice cream last week.  It was a hot day so some of us got iced coffee and everyone else had ice cream.  My middle grandson had cookie monster ice cream which is his seond favorite behind gator claw.  I can't rememember what any one else had, but I had the voodoo child coffee (coffee, lavender, cream, etc.) - it is my favorite so far. 

Someone was all smiles (he got the comfy chair).  You can see a bit of my 6 ft 4 husband pointing at the ice cream while he was waiting for his to be ready. 
Of course, I totally forgot to take a picture of my drink until the very end.  Made my Grandson hold my empty cup for a picture. I seriously considered another drink....
A bit of art from this weekend.  This was for the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com - I drew and watercolored it using Daniel Smith watercolors and a white and black gel pen. 
Iris, I tried to make my week sound interesting like you always do, but I failed on both attempts.  I am going to keep trying though! 

Happy Tuesday to the T-gang over at Elizabeth's. Blog  Elizabeth I hope you have me marked down for participating in your exchange and I definitely want to do ATCs. 

Hugz,

Nancy

  4. You have such fun places to go for drinks of all sorts Nancy. And it was hot. Winter isn't leaving us this year in NH, so I am jealous. Your grandson's smile is amazing. As are those ice cream names. I want to know about gator claw. Lovely card too. I hope you are having a wonderful T day and week ahead. hugs-Erika

  7. Too cold and snowing for ice cream. Though like Erika I'd like to know what Cookie Monster and Gator Claw are like. Your grandson looks so cute. Your card is lovely and making me wish for warm weather. Is it July yet? Happy T and Pi Day

    1. Kate, it was from a picture of a wedding bouquet which I changed to be in a vase. I do watch lots of tutorials - I watched one on perspective and this was a great way to practice it. Your watercolors amaze me!

  10. What fun you have with your family. So nice and such interesting places you visit. Your grandson has an infectious grin. I loved the sound of the names of those ice creams.

    Your card is absolutely stunning, Nancy. I can't draw anything, so I am in awe of the wonderful card you drew. I was especially impressed with the vase. It looked like real water inside. And those various flowers were out of this world.

    Thanks for sharing your trip to the ice cream parlor, your card, and your Voodoo Child drink with us for T this Tuesday. The only ice cream place still in Wichita is a cold slab ice cream parlor on the east side of town.

  13. Wow, you already have hot days. It's chilly here, but it seems we are going to have a couple dry and sunny days before the rain returns. Time to work in the garden. I like iced coffees, I would probably favored that more than the ice cream.

  16. Hihi dear Nancy, I keep forgetting to take pictures of my drinks, too and then snap half-empty glasses ;-) It sure looks like a great family ice cream get-together!
    All the best and have a nice weekend - Traude 😘

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. ...
