More Fried Green Tomatoes, Baseball, a Dragon's Eye, and Some Art

Hello friends! Happy T-day if you celebrate it!


This weekend, my youngest daughter turned 28 and she wanted to do a girls brunch.  She picked KimberLia's in downtown Prattville.  This is a picture of her sister's fried green tomato BLT and our waters.  We also had Mimosas and coffee, but, of course, I forgot to take a picture.  The jazz band they had playing was super loud and there was a party next to us of very loud people so it was hard to talk or think.  The service was very slow, but the food was good.  We ended up having coffee across the street just to catch up and relax. These waters are my ticket to T-day over at Elizabeth's blog. 

Baseball tournaments are in full swing this week - we have 1-2 games every night this week except Wednesday.  This is the banner for our oldest Grandson's team.
One of the mothers is a photographer and very good at making banners. 

I squeezed in some art this week too - here a a few of the cards I made.

This one was inspired by THIS  notebook.  I sent it to my dragon loving grandson. 

This was my daughter's birthday card.  She loves vintage, flowers, and Harry Potter, so I wrapped the flowers in Harry Potter newspaper. 

This one was done for two watercolor challenges on Splitcoasterstampers.com - one was funky butterflies and one was loose backgrounds. 
Hope you have a fabulous rest of the week!  

Hugz,

Nancy

    I so would like to try green fried tomatoes!
    Sad about the loud place, though. I´d go nuts....
    1-2 games every night?! That sounds like stress ;-)
    Beautiful, both, the book and your work.
    And the card, very beautiful.
    "Enjoy Today" and happy T-Day, hugz

    I've never eaten fried green tomatoes, you don't get them in our country. Hopefully I'll come to the USA again, then I'll try it... Your cards are lovely! Happy birthday to your youngest daughter!
    All the best and happy T-day 🌻🌼🌻!

    I don't like it when a place is so loud that you can't talk with each other.
    The card you made for your daughter's birthday is truly beautiful as are the others, but this one stood out for me. Just beautiful.

    Sorry the birthday girl had to put up with a noisy crowd but the BLT sounds good, even to this vegetarian.

    LOVE the cards you made, especially the one for your daughter. I almost missed the key I was so caught up in that newspaper. I loved the butterflies, too.

    What a week. You will be glad when baseball season is over, but I sure like the banner the lady made.

    Thanks for sharing your cards, your grandson's banner, and your food and water with us for T this Tuesday, 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.  The paper in the middle is from the Stamperia Forest

Brotherhood Wishes, a Paper Purse, and a Special Mug

Hello friends. No more fun travel or parade pictures - back to every day normal life.  On a positive note, I have been able to fit in some art. Hereis an art journal spread I finished this weekend. I am adding it to Alison's Summer Landscape challenge theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .   I started the pages in my journal around July 4th after seeing Dina's stripes inspired Mixed Media challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com and got as far as stamping some foliage at the bottom.  I was stuck after that, and I wasn't sure where to go with it next.  A few days later, I was clearing out some things in the craft room and ran across a Thomas Kinkade book I cut up and use in my Bible Journaling.  There was a picture of  the San Francisco Bridge and another of some mountains so I tore them out and added them to my page with Gesso representing some of the beautiful things in America and also Alison's countryside theme.  They did not blend in very well and I needed to alter them to wo

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol.  We had a bit of sadness yesterday when another neighb
