Sympathy Cards

The Little Red Wagon challenge this week is for Sympathy Cards. I happen to have two of them, so here is my take on the challenge.

Wine Tasting

My husband John had his birthday on Wed. April 7th. Our friends Henry and Carol had tickets to Inniskillin for free wine tasting and a free bottle of Ice wine. The wine tasting was Yummy as usual but I had never tasted Ice Wine before. We tried Vidal Ice Wine (OMGosh) how sweet it is.YUM!! Our free bottle was a 50ml. size. They could have made it a bit larger. We also learned how to drink Ice Wine. You hold your glass at the bottom of the stem of your wine glass not around the bulb of the glass. It makes a big difference on how the wine tastes. I wouldn't have believed It if I hadn't tried it myself. We also learned that if you drink red wine it should always be poured into a decanter first to get air into the wine. Just opening the bottle to let it breath doesn't cut it. Of course it had to be tried out when we got home, to go with the pizza and wings we had for supper. I did not have red wine as I would be under the table in short order. Red wine and I don't get along very well. We finished the night off by playing a game of cards called Golf then watch the results of Dancing With The Stars.

Thanks Shelby and Joanne for a stress free post.

Over worked

It is extremely busy at Twofriends lately, and I am buried under cardstock. So I will not be posting for a little while.

Please check back later.

I had to work the Pizza Crop at Two Friends last night and by the time I got home I was past being tired and had gotten my second wind so to speak.I did go to bed but sleep didn't come so I went channel surfing and came upon The Shopping Channel. Big mistake. They where cooking and demonstrating electric grill and crock pots etc. and showing lots of food. I Can't Believe I bought two grills and a new crock pot. ( I really did need these items and one is for a wedding gift),but it was the food that stuck in my mind. Sooo since I didn't get much sleep I thought we should go out for a late breakfast and check out Cora's.


This is what I had for breakfast. Very delicious!

And this is what was left on my plate. I Can't Believe I ate all that food.

Free To Be Me

It feels good to back in the land of the living. This past week has not been a good one for me. I thought I had escaped the flu that my dh had, but no such luck.



I created this card using my new pencil crayons. I'm still learning how to use them. I also have a hard time using blues and browns, but I gave it a try anyway.



Thanks for looking!

Little Red Wagon Challenge

This is my take on the black and white card for The Little Red Challenge this week. All stamps and inks are Close To MyHeart and I used the Wizard for my Spellbinder diecuts.

Gloryland Chorus

I belong to a 40 member community choir in the Kitchener, Waterloo area, and this afternoon we held a "singin" at my home church. We sing Bill and Gloria Gaither style Gospel Music. I had tried for two years to bring the choir to my church to spread the Word through music. They finally where able to fit us into the church calendar of activities and today was the day.

I have to admit I was a bit nervous to say the least. I took it upon myself to be in charge of advertising. I advertised in everything I could think of that was free, to save money as all the proceeds where going to the Haiti Relief fund. My biggest fear was, what if only a few people showed up. To my surprise close to 300 showed up and supported us in this fund raiser. The fund raiser was a huge success and by the comments we got everyone enjoyed the music.

To each and everyone who attended, Thank-You
