ABC Country Restaurant!!! :D



My Caramel Macchiato!



Mmmm, the foam
was soooo good!

Went out with the girls last night for my cousin's birthday party, so much fun!
One stop was all we needed, ABC Country Restaurant.  . . .  You're probably thinking... "Really? ABC?"  And I will respond with "YES".   But don't get me wrong, not all ABC Restaurants have the amazing dessert and coffee menu that this one does.  This one has a multiple specialty drink selection.. ranging from smoothies to iced fraps and macchiatos.  Multiple delicious flavours too!   And the dessert menu NEVER disappoints either.  There are assorted berry pies, Cream Pies, Bread Puddings, Chocolate and Peanut Butter pie Desserts and Ice Cream pies too!  The options are almost overwhelming as they have pictures of everything and EVERYTHING looks so good!   So after some hemming and ahhhing.. My choice came down to the Caramel Macchiato and the Mile High Lemon Meringue Pie!  And I was seriously NOT disappointed in the least.  The pie really was a mile high! And my drink was huge, for such a good price too!

Plus, as an added bonus, since we had a celebration happening, this particular restaurant offers a picture card for the birthday person!  They bring out their camera and take a picture of us at the table.  And then later they mail the picture card to the special guest of honor.  So in this case, my cousin!  Such a fun and memorable evening out with the girls.

Mile High Lemon Meringue Pie
It really couldn't get much better!
And I have yet to know how they get that
Meringue to be so high!

Happy 6th Year Wedding Anniversary

Mmmm, next time I will make some
raisin ones too... so good!

Today is my Anniversary.
I met the love of my life May 2004 and we married April 9, 2005.
We met over the phone while I was doing phone surveys and we instantly clicked.  So we arranged to meet.  Being on the more cautious side I agreed to only meet him if he came to my church on Sunday.  I gave him the address and the time and went from there.  Little did I know that he would actually show up and we would become inseparable.   6 days of seeing each other we became official and started dating as a couple. 

Today to celebrate we were going to leave the children with my parents and go out for dinner.

But unfortunately my hubby is extremely sick and our youngest child has a fever. So today has become the caring mother and caring wife day ..

For a special treat this morning for breakfast I made us all crepes, with Nutella, blueberry sauce and whipped cream... and a side of Eggs.

Following our delicious breakfast the hubby and kids went into our sitting room to watch tv and chill.  And I stayed in the kitchen to clean and then I proceeded to make Blueberry Bran Muffins and Hamburger soup. 

Later in the afternoon I even managed to make a belated birthday card for my brother-in-law.  So at least I can say my day has been quite productive. 

Now here's to hoping we can celebrate next weekend instead!  :D



My newest card.. Made the tree from the
Hoot'n'Holler cartridge, and I made the presents
which I raised with pop-dots from the Stamping cartridge.
Embossed the blue background and used a grassy pattern
for the bottom... While tying it all together with a ribbon as an accent.
And I finished it off by applying clear sparkle glitter glue to the dots
on the gifts.



More of my Creations...

Pure Elegance... Embossed background, bordered in a dark  brown, cut out tulips that are raised with pop-dots.
Tree branches and a material flower with brushed silver brad in the centre.

Can't get enough of this snake. Raised with popdots, decorated with glitter glue and mini white brads for eyes.
Vertical card, Green print background, blue embossed strip at the bottom and white textured paper on the side with ribbon and 3 square blue brads as accent.

Isn't it the cutest?
