Cupcakes Cobbler and Notebooks

Photobucket

This past weekend my friends and I celebrated Labor Day. To be honest we could not have asked for more perfect weather. It was a constant 84 degrees, and there was not a cloud in the sky. All of my closest friends drove up to meet in Birmingham at my Lake house in at Inland Lake. A few highlights of the weekend included a GREAT new card game i learned called Dutch Blitz, if you are not familiar look it up.....it is great.

It was also two of my friends birthdays. Ray and Rhami both received some hand made goodies from Gavin and I. I made Ray a handful of crafted notebooks, and a mustache, and Rhami got one of y favorite journals. There was cupcakes, M&M's and cobbler galore.

Above is a little sneak peak of part of my new display for the buttons I have been making. I recently purchased this dress form for only 10$ from craigslist. Wow...I love craigslist. I also started something new. I made SCRABBLE magnets to sell at the craft fair. They were a huge hit, but I need to sell them as groups of letters and words instead of just individually. I displayed them on an antique tool box I found in my grandfathers closet. Alright and one last thing.

I have just been introduced to the new crazy flavors of M&M's...and boy let me tell you the dark chocolate, pretzel and coconut M&Ms are oodles of goodness in your mouth. just trust me on this one.

Jazz Fest Nola



This past weekend I drove down to New Orleans with Gavin to visit the family. We initially planned to visit Jazz Fest, enjoy some good tunes, food, and art. However, we both quickly realized that since it was the last week of school we had TONS of work and studying to do. We ended up selling the tickets, dropping off Gavin's lil sis at the fest and heading to a small coffee shop to get some studying done. Well long story short we ditched the coffee shop to do a little thrifting! It was even Gavin's idea! I found tons of goodies, and now I am convinced that New Orleans does have a few great thrift stores. Thanks to Goodwill for opening up a HUGE store right down town. I must say though, America's Thrift store is still my favorite.





Here are a few pictures from our dinner. Crayfish and Shrimp of course. We had to indulge before the awful oil spill ruins all of the yummies.


This guy was delicious!
