Day 2 - California Roll anyone?

Happy Monday Everyone, Start of another week, oh boy...is it friday yet...LoL, guess not. What shall Monday bring us? Let's see how about some sushi! As I remember the day's living in California, was the oh so yum sushi you could get, sorry Texas but no Benihana Restaurant hold's up to the California coast fresh sushi rolls you could get everywhere. Of course the California Roll was my fave! And Wasabi!! So which brings me to how much I love Sushi, I was in another one of Scrappy's swap was "I love" which stamp company, Well hmmm I love them ALL! But since I themed this one in my mind to the love of sushi, I used Amuse sushi set that is perfect for my Love of Sushi Rolls! Get it Roll with it! LoL

Just bringing my California side into the mix!

And can't have sushi, without the kimono, and the Bonsai tree branches LoL, all a perfect match!

So just a note for today.....

DKOS Cards!

These cards are for Manda_dex swap over on SCS! Her challenge was a swap called DKO'S, which means Different Kind of Swap, where the participants select a category, and create that card in the theme, I chose to participate in two categories, one was for Punch Pals, where all you could use was punches to create your design, and the other was a christmas themed card using a NON-Christmas card image!

Punch Pals, gotta love Sesame Street, Elmo, Cookie Monster, and The Grouch! Shake the card, and they all get "googly" Eyes over the little ones!!!

My next card was Christmas themed, using a non-christmas image! I used a digital image DOROTHY ANYA from "the greeting farm" Stamps, I love these images, they are so fun to color with my Copics! Or as Ryley would say .... " CooopIccc, CoooPic, CooooPic! LOL"

Have a wonderful day, till next time!

Friday Events.....RECAP

Well to start off this great weekend, the sync of events were Friday Afternoon at Stamp Antonio for two wonderful classes taught by our WONDERFUL Amuse Instructor GEETA!! Yayyyyy GEETA. You were soooo nice to come down on Friday for us!! Thank you Thank you! I am sorry I could not attend both classes, but duties called as a hostess to get back to setting up for the big event!

Next we went to dinner at Casa Rio, food was good, but we could have had a little faster Service...the bus boy only knew how to hold up the wall it seemed when I had to ask him for some more chips and salsa and water! LOL But it was so fun to have dinner with everyone....than head off around riverwalk for some site seeing. The evening was great 79*, and no breeze, nor humidity, just a perfect evening! We wanted to check out the sites, than as we were walking...the girls voted for a bar..to hop into to, for some drinks! And someone suggested isn't there a Piano Bar, and Lisa (Great4u), was "PIANO BAR, HOW OLD DO YOU THINK I AM, HONEY I ATE THAT OLD, I WANNA REAL BAR for some drinks!!!" What a great lady, Lisa I thought that was great, I will always remember that a girl always knows what she WANTS!!!! Brenda (sassybee) was wondering if Polyesters...was still there, I myself was no help...I don't know much down there...so we thought Coyote Ugly...LETS GO DANCE ON THE BAR!

Sassy this one's for YOU.................

(oh FYI, I got bounced by the bouncer for taking this video..but i did a blonde moment and was like "oh was i recording, I must have pushed the switch to far! LOL ) But hey I got a few seconds!!!

Aren't we so cute! We had too many laughs....together...but boy ....did I feel like the Mac Truck hit me in the morning...you'd think three beers would do nothing..I didn't feel anything that nite, but that morning..Oh my word LOL!

Oh hey sassy....remember...."try before you buy"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!

Ok off to bed..will be back tomorrow to post some more pictures...nite nite all
