Wino Wednesday Biatches

I can't wait to try this Summer time Sangria.  I love the fruity taste of Sangria, it's crisp and fresh and delightful! Linking up to Wino Wednesday

• 6 cups assorted fruits (such as mango, pineapple, cantaloupe, and apricot), sliced or cut into chunks
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced peeled fresh ginger
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups fresh basil or mint leaves
• 1/2 cup orange liqueur, such as Cointreau
• 1 bottle crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
• Ice
• directions:
• In a large bowl or pitcher, combine fruit, ginger, basil or mint, and orange liqueur. Mash gently with the back of a wooden spoon until basil is bruised and fruit releases juices. Add wine and lemon juice and stir to combine. Refrigerate 1 hour (or up to 1 day). To serve, fill eight glasses with ice and top with sangria.

Anchoring my life

Ugh, it's Monday morning and I really should be working, but instead I'm uploading images to my blog. 

ssshhhh, don't tell my boss. 

It's sounds like I'm really busy because of all the typing I'm doing...

I better get to it. 

This Mother's Day I spent with my family and my mom, cutest mom in the world!
Inspired by this photo, from Cupcake Inspiration Blog Challenge

And, also, the them from this blog: Stamping Celebration, "we are celebrating the sea" challenge

I thought it was very appropriate since our last name is SEAY(pronounced Sea)

Close up of the cruise ship. Stamped with red ink and clear heat embossed, then distressed edges. Entered into this challenge WOW! Embossing Powder Blog So glad I was able to use this stamp set. I've had it forever and didn't have a clue where I was going to use it. 

I've been wanting to use this set of stamps for quite a while.

Inside of the card, isn't that bible verse perfect?!  I love the little anchor 3d sticker I found at Michaels.

so here's a picture of my mom surrounded by her chicks.   Note the sister on the far right...she wasn't cooperating.

someone put a spare tire under my shirt....how did that get there!?

Thanks for stopping by for some Puddin N Pie.

Mondays are a lame way to spend 1/7th of your life

For Sure...
It's nothing personal Monday
It's me not you.

This weekend my dear Mr took me to see Wicked the musical.  Oh my goodness if you haven't had the chance to see this musical-go. Save your pennies, mark it on your calendar and go!  I could see it again and again.

It was funny and enchanting and fast past AND it had a surprise ending.  All good things.
One scene had the "good" witch and the "wicked" witch in a wand/broom battle.

Lots of references in the dialog to the Wizard of Oz, like:
Elphaba(the green witch) says to her sister, "Well, you know, there's no place like home...."

Go see it.

Hoop there it is

Best workout ever!
Hula Hooping! Low impact, joyful, and contagious.
Really.
it's contagious.
Don't you want to pick up a hoop when you see this photo?
By the way, I'm the one in the tiara.
#tiarasrock!

Monday is a lame way to spend 1/7 of your life.

Two for ohhhhh

Hello Cupcake,
Why yes, I'll gobble you up. Thanks for offering yourself up for my daily caloric allowance. (I wonder how many weight watcher points you'll cost me?)

This particular set of pics are from our big four ohhhhh birthday, we celebrated by painting pottery and spending the day together.  That year I surprised my sis by decorating her work cubicle.  Funny thing, some of her coworkers thought I was my sister decorating my cube for my birthday.  If you knew my twin you would understand her co-workers thoughts.
That's they way she rolls: Party time!

For my bloggy friends leave  me a comment on what kind of camera you use to take pictures of your projects.  I have a $100 camera: Nikon coolpix L100.  I'm trying to learn how to use it, but am just not happy with it's clarity.  I am using more lights and I've learned to use some of the advanced settings....
but...I suffer from camera envy.

a little dark on the left side.  

I'm including these in Anything But a Card mini Challenge, where I used 3 stencils: chevrons, cupcake and stars.  How have you used stencils?  Leave me a comment on what type of media you used and even a link to the posting.  I'll come by for a visit to your blog.  Don't tell the Mr but I have so many stencils that I haven't used yet...thank goodness Ryan Gosling is ok with my spending at Michaels.

I'll be adding this layout to the Color Me Scrappy color challenge & to My Scraps and more Sketches

This little corner of the layout includes features from Life and Creations of Tee: butterflies, buttons and pearls! Love the little sequins running up the page too!

One more challenge I'm linking to is The Shabby Tea Room "Bits and Bobbles"

where I needed to include flowers, buttons, prints and a sentiment.  

 Happy birthday Twinnie--you are literally my other half.

Thanks for stopping by for some Puddin N Pie.
