The Garden Gate Tea Room

Yesterday I took Mom to "The Garden Gate Tea Room" as I wrote in my previous post for her BD....

We have gone there several times now for "Special" occasions. And of course Mom turning 90 was diffently a "Special" occasion.

They starts serving at 11:30, we were there a little after 11:00 but the nice ladies saw us walking up and asked us to come in and have some Ice Tea while we waited, it was Hibiscus Cranberry Tea, Mmmmmmm with sugar crystals around the top of the glass...then they even served us some of the Sherried Creme of Carrot Bisque on the house while we waited too... How nice was that...  Now there were 3 or 4 other ladies that came in right behind us but we were the only ones that got the Royal treatment... We must have look "Hungry"... :)

Here's a pic of the Menu....

We had the Herb crusted Rosemary Baked Chicken Pie which we get every time we go then we always try something different... this time we had the Salmon Souffle Roulade, and OMG was that the BEST thing ever... So now the Salmon has been moved up in the 1st place on our list of things to get but the Rosemary Chicken Pie is a Very Close second.  

Just so you know we each took half of the others meal so we got to have both... What a Treat!

No mater what we've had there it's always be 1st class and delish!

As more and more people came in we could tell there was a group of ladies having a High Tea.... so I had to ask our waitress about that and it sounds so good that Mom and I decided that next time we would have to try that.... she side we had to make reservations for that because everything is made that morning and fresh as can be...

We both are looking forward to our next visit!!!

Happy Birthday MOM!!!!

Hi Everyone!!

Today I'm posting the card I made for my Mom's 90th Birthday which is this coming week..... It's hard for me to think of her as 90 because she still dose so much for herself and refuses help...does all her cooking, laundry, light cleaning and even has us over for occasions and does the cooking. 

All I can say is I hope I'm half the woman she is if I even make it to 90!

Will here's what I did with her card. Now don't be to surprised but I did a 6x6 card today.  I used a Serendipity stamp for the water lilies using Memeno Rich Cocoa and then used clear embossing over it... I did my coloring with SU Watercolor crayons, been thinking of getting some H2O's to try but can't make up my mind which colors to get there's SOooo many to pick from.

Here's a close up of the layers and my Koi fish by Cheery Lynn Designs, I just used a yellow piece of paper and then painted the fish with Smooch Glitz-Goldrush, it gave him a little shine and sparkle.

This may be a better close up of the Koi.

and the inside I restamped the water lilies and did a quick wash paint and the used the quote from Fiskars-Make a Wish quotes.

With the card being a 6x6 (which I very seldom do) there's plenty of room to wright something too.
I plan on taking her to lunch at a little Tea house that she just LOVE's to go, I know she will like that.  And hope she likes the card too.  You know Mothers they can't say anything bad when it comes to what there children make... (Oh my,,, some of the things I brought home, and she just raved about them!!!) 

I'll let you know what happens at the Tea House............

Happy St. Patty's Day

The Top of the Morin to ya!!  Will afternoon anyway! 

 Here's the card I'm going to give my Mom later today... She is turning 90 next month Wow, I can't believe it.

And she wanted to cook us Cornbeef and Cabbage with potatoes.. We live just a few doors down from her so when she needs help she can give me a call... But when I went over this morning (as I do everyday) she already had the BIG pot out and was laying everything out so it would go 1, 2, 3... She is really something.  I hope I'm just half the woman she is when I get to 90....

 Back to the card here's the front,,,,

 here you can see the layers......

and then the inside too...

Will that's it for me today.

Hope you enjoy your Green Beer and Rainbows!!

Desk Mess....

I took a break from trying to Organize my craft STUFF and decided to have some fun and  do some coloring...

Had most of these already stamped or printed, they just need some color so I did my best but it had been a while... It's Oh so true about "If you don't use it, you lose it". 

Anyway now there ready for the next step, using them on cards...

Happy Anniversary!

Hi All,,,

Yep it's me again... I'm late posted the Aanniversary card I gave my hubby.  Our Anniversary is just 2 weeks after my Birthday and 1 day before Valentines day... so we kind of put it all together.

I used a few new things and a few old things for my card this year....

The new was Cornish Heritage Farms background stamp called "Trees Backgrounder" I stamped it onto the Aqua paper with Coco ink, love the look.  Then I used an old Cuttlebug frame called Grace's Frame I love this frame and have used it several times now.  Another new thing I used was a Memory Box die called Serafina Heart... then put some sparkle on it here and there... added a bow an that's it...

this side view let's you see the inside a little I just stamped the trees about one inch down the side then added my words and things...

I have never heard or used the Cornish Heritage Farms stamps before but love the quality.  This one I got from a fellow blogger that was doing Spring Cleaning and was selling bunches of her things and I just got Lucky and was able to get this one and a few others... Thanks Barbara!!

Will that's it for me today, see you later!

Organizating Again!

Yes it's a never ending process for me.....

A friend of my Hubby's was closing his TV repair shop in a small town in Ga.  (Cuthbert, Ga) and had been selling all his STUFF.. Well we were home when this started so when we got back to Ga we had to take a look at what was left... and here are a few things I got for nothing or practically nothing.....

These are 4 sets of plastic 8.5 x 11 paper files, there in groups of 3 and stack up... I think I may just push them back under the shelf there and put the top stack of 3 on the shelf.  But I'll take more pics when I decide what and where.....!

Now this is all apart but it's a metal file box.  On the left is the draw and it has 3 dividers leaning against it.  The long thing is a divider which I'll keep and just lay flat in the bottom of the draw.  The box on the right is what the draw slides into...

It held diodes by a company called Centralab the red sticker on the draw....not fond of the blue but think I'll keep it as is for now.

He only charged me $3 of it... I could not let that go by..

So with a little cleaning up to knock the dust and stuff off I have 2 really nice pieces to help me get organized... I wonder if it will help :(
