Let's Party

Good Morning Peeps---Happy Saturday to you..I hope everyone is healthy and happy today......Today is suppose to be nice then turn into rain later around dinner time. It's that time of year again where I dust off the diet plan and get back out into the yard again. I have cleaned off the patio and have all of my pots ready to add some pretty flowers to them. I have yet to start on the re do of the living room, but it's coming...I can't wait and just wish it could be done already...lol...I have so many ideas I just hope hubby will be feeling them to...kwim..lol...we'll see...

Well, today I have a card that's been sitting here on my desk that I wanted to share...a girlfriend asked me to help plan her hubby's 40th and this is a proto type..I'm working on a couple more so that she could have a few to choose from....ENJOY!!!!

I wanted to do a manly card so I dug into my scraps of goodness (meaning older and dusty supplies) and played around with a casino type party...I rubber stamped (Paper Artsy) the image onto water color paper and edged it with ink...same size acetate for top layer and sprayed Krylon frosted glass spray to make a window feel...billiards sign from Karen Foster...paper from My Mind's Eye...tore a zipper in half to add to top border with some snaps that I found...greeting from Inkadinkado with Studio G club and spade stamps...I made the corner brads to kind of re fleck a bullet and used a silver round brad topped with an upholstery tack with a pearl...so what do ya think? Did I achieve it...lol...a manly rustic old time feel??

here's a side view...this is where the birthday party info would be tucked inside....

well blog land....I do hope everyone has a great weekend...thanks for stopping in and I miss everyone..where does the time go these days??.....have a sunny day!!!! Hugs from Charm City...

St. Patrick's Day Photos

Happy Sunday morning peeps...I know, I know, this post is way over due...I'm sorry, but we have had some family issues come up since we've been back from the beach. This year I went all out with the light ups for our costumes. ENJOY!!!!!!

this was the group that went down to the beach this year for the weekend...vision~ all very talkative eight of us squeezing into a mini van ~ being shuffled around town~~ LOL~ that poor taxi driver didn't know what he was getting into when he said he'd take all of us~He was jammin to some Bob Marley that really set the mood...lol...

this was Friday night's glass of choice for the ladies..3 different color modes and then one with all of the colors flashing...click on photo for a direct link...

this was Saturday's glass of choice for the ladies...which I have to say is the perfect size for us...the quality is great and the price is even better....it holds a mixed drink with ice very comfortably....it has a mode for 3 different colors and one for all of the colors like above...so this really is a versatile party glass...you can click on the photos and it will take you to flashingblinkylights.com website...

now look at that mug there...if that isn't a manly man's cup I don't know what is...this was the cup of choice for the guys...same modes as above...it holds 2 beers and the quality is great....click on photo to go to their site...

 ~ Pam Scott and I ~

this was a new addition this year....and they were absolutely awesome inside the club....

just goofin around

 we couldn't leave our buddy out...lol...

(look at his shoes...these were the ones I made last year..I added more blinky lights to them)

*************

 look at these dorks...lol...they were both the smash of the party...it's so fun to be able to go away from your everyday life and dress up like dorks and it's accepted...no worries about anything but letting loose for the weekend...sure you might regret it once you get back home, but it was fun at the time....I call it "REJUVENATING"..KWIM!!!

 Lou ( first timer~now lifer~he even applied for a job at the job fair the next morning~LOL) and Pam (his Mommie)

 I have soooo been eying this costume up the past couple of years...but I figured I wouldn't be able to find anyone to wear it.... I know I wouldn't....lol...look where your face is...in the shamrock....you would have to pull the mask off (as this poor fella did) off and on all day/night... he was so darling that I might just have to get this anyway and add it to the trunk of St. Patty's goodness that we have....I'll tell ya though, it's getting harder and harder to find hats and different kinds of wigs...it seems like I already have what companies offer every year now....same 'ol same 'ol...

 this is Lou looking snazzy...I'm telling you, he's a lifer....

****************

Well, I hope you've enjoyed flipping through our weekend....we really had a blast...and we are already planning for next year's weekend.....I just wish each and everyone one of you could come and enjoy it with us....I bet you would end up being a "lifer" like us....LOL....weekend is off season so it is less expensive to stay at a hotel...it truly is an adult weekend, unlike it is during the season where you have families and young teenagers out...KWIM!!! Give it a thought and if you're interested contact me and I can send you details....

Have a sunny day...it's a gloom one here, but like they say, this too shall pass....Hugs from Charm City....
