"Survivor" night - week 5

Okay....I know I have said it before....but are the "Survivor " contestants really as stupid as they play....have they not watched the game before....geesh!!!!
Dinner was at cardzgal place...roast beef, veggies, potatoes and salad....yummy!! Strawberry and rhubarb pie for dessert with extra fresh strawberries on the side...Mmmm mmm good!
Our cards were made with a stamp set from "Paper Pretties" called Snowflake Kisses...we could have picked any stamp from the set to make our cards....here is a picture of the stamp set and of the cards we made. Next weeks stamp is one that we picked up at the Novi Stamp show in August from Yvonne Albritton Designs Rubberstamps.

"Survivor" night - week 4

A little behind?...who me?....YEP tonight Survivor is on again I haven't even discussed last weeks or posted the cards we made....shame on me. Well for last week it was my turn to host dinner and dessert....I made chicken divan with rice and veggies with a salad also. Apple pie with fried ice cream flavoured icecream and caramel sauce for dessert. Survivor people are stupid, but you wouldn't catch me going out there and playing the game....I like my view from my couch.....I know its all about the editing of the show so you come back and watch the next week.....but they do vote off the wrong people every week......but enough about that. Here are the cards we made for last weeks "Survivor" night. It was a Stamping Up set called "Holiday Lineup", there are 3 stamps to the set and we could have chosen anyone we wanted. Next weeks stamp (I should say tonight's stamp) is a Paper Pretties clear stamp set called "snowflake kisses". Maybe I'll get them on early.....stop laughing at me!....LOL

"Survivor" night - week 3

Well another night of survivor has come and gone, not too sure on who I like for this seasons winner. It was my turn to do dinner, I made a roast in the crockpot done in a pasta sauce and made rotini pasta to go with it and made a Pumpkin Caramel cake for dessert....it was a boxed cake mix from the states (we happened to have a day trip there on the Tuesday before). Our stamp choice for this weeks cards was a Magnolia stamp.

October's monthly exchange

Well it was a quick exchange time for me, as you all know cardzgal and I had another venue to attend. However it was a great exchange as always and the challenge was a good one. Treats were yummy ...Thanks Leslie, will have to get the recipe for the bars. Here is the picture of all our cards....I probably could have taken many more with all of the views of the "never-ending card"(....will need the details on how to make) but I don't know if I would know when to stop...LOL the picture will be added to the slideshow.

"Survivor" night - week 2

Not too sure what to make of this seasons' Survivor.....I think I could be a good player for this game if I could do it from my couch and watching, not actually being there...I know I would win for sure. I think they did kick off the wrong person tonight....but really what do I know...the editing of TV shows makes a viewer return to watch the next week. We haven't got all the names down yet. Dinner was yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy cardzgal made a bruschetta chicken dish with a salad and a delicious pumpkin cake. And here are the cards we made for this week.
