T is for The Sandlot Birthday and a Lobster Roll

Hello friends.

It is T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog and time to share what fun I had this weekend at my Grandson's The Sandlot themed birthday party (you have to look closely for the drink girls).

He turned 6 and The Sandlot is his favorite movie (he is a big baseball addict and would play it every minute of every day if you let him). He has played since he was 3 and hit a homerun last week. His other Grandmother is super crafty (a few levels above me in talent and time), so this party looked awesome!

Here he is in front of the main table which Terri decorated. She made him the shirt too.

The original cake artist had a death in the family, so Terri whipped up and decorated a cake. It was super cool and tasted awesome! They own a heating and air company, and we joked they could add AND CAKES to the end of their name. I know she could come up with some cute shirts for that! We were only half kidding on the new name.

Close up of the cookies made by one of our friends - she is soooo creative. Look at the detail! Look at that cool sign Terri made too.

They had it all covered so all I made was some baseball trail mix for the tables and I wrapped his present up fun using cardboard pieces to make the fence. I painted a baseball field on the top.

Here is a close up of the card I made him from the left over cardboard.

The party was at a nerf gun war studio so the boys all played nerf gun war for 2 hours. They had a blast. It was a hit (pun intended). We also went to an art and music festival, and I finally got to have a lobster roll from the lobster food truck that runs through our state! This was my daughter's half - we split it due to the high cost. I know my friends from lobster country will probably laugh at this, but we felt lucky to have one in down here in Alabama. This food truck had a super long line and people were emailing in orders and coming to pick it all up. It was the star of the festival for sure.

Sunday we recovered and I finished two books I had previously started and had a long nap.

Hope you all had a fun weekend too.

Hugz,

Nancy

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. ...

That is one fabulous cake and that goes for the party decor too. Wow. She could open her own party planning shop too. And I found the drinks with their orange caps. And how did you like your lobster roll? There's quite a bit of lobster in too. I wonder what they will cost here this year Happy belated birthday to your grandson. Happy Easter to you also. As well as Happy T day. hugs-Erika

What a wonderful party for such a handsome young man. He is a lucky boy.

What an amazing birthday party for your grandson. I love the cake your daughter made and I also love the way you managed to sneak in those drinks you eluded to. Nice themed party and super way for your grandson to remember this special day. What a lovely treat, including the card you made for the themed party. What fun he must have had.

I've never had a lobster roll, so you are lucky that food truck was able to make them, even if they were expensive. Thanks for sharing your grandson's wonderful themed birthday, the bottled drinks, your card, and your lobster roll with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy.

Wow, what a party! And such a beautiful cake too. And I love the card you made.
I have never had lobster roll but Erika loves to have one in the summer. (In fact I have never eaten lobster)
Belated Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
