I didn't take any photos! But I went for a play date at Elizabeth's. She had some lovely tea for me. I already forgot the name. It was a black tea, and it had rose in it's name. I really liked it! Besides tea, she served me lunch! She even bought meat for me! She doesn't eat meat! So, I had a lovely little lunch on her sunflower plates, and sunflower place mats, with a sunflower napkin. Of course, I fogot to take photos.
So, here is a photo of the napkin (that I refused to use so I could bring it home with me to use in a future craft project. LOL Some of you will understand about that!) along with a photo of her sunflower table off her blog.
We also played with Stazon inks and alcohol. This is the project I started that day. It is a Stazon & alcohol background. I made several on the 12x12 paper she provided but also did some in my journal and on watercolor card stock. She invited me to play with numbers for the **Art*Journal*Journey* Challenge. I had taken some oxide inks and stencils and used them on this page also by stamping, and using sponge brushes thru the stencils. Today, I finished up the page with some stamping , pasting, and more stenciling with modeling paste. The faces are Crafty Individuals by Magenta stamps. I am looking for my style....
Here are photos in Blogger's order, not mine! The last photo shows the whole page.
Elizabeth and I took time to have a good visit, also. She is a fabulous hostess. She does too much work preparing for my visit.
Talking of Elizabeth here is my ticket to the TSFT this week over at Altered Book Lover.
A couple of weeks ago we went to another Italian restaurant; those are our favorites. We just like Italian food. It was Carrabba's. Here is a photo showing the scrumptious food and my water. We go around two, so we get the lunch special, and it is our lunch and dinner. I actually took a lot home and had it around 6 for supper. This was something called Lunch Trio for $10.99. I chose for my trio, soup, Italion salad, & Meatballs & Ricotta . I can't remember what the soup was called but it was delicious, and it was a bowl not a cup!
Hubby had a cup of soup I think and manicotti, maybe. I can't remember. But we ate all our soup and bread, and a little of the other stuff, then took home plenty! LOL We loved the food, and the service! It was a great experience. We had been a couple of times, when everything was terrible! I was glad we tried it again. Maybe it has different management, now.
Thanks for stopping by. Welcome to the T Gang! Have a great week! See you next time!

Your meal at Carabba's looks delicious!
So fun that you were able to craft with Elizabeth and share a meal. Your project is looking fabulous.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Based on your blog and Elizabeth's post also I think you 2 ladies had a really lovely and fun time. And I like your journaling too. But your Italian meal steals the show. It really looks delicious. Have a great T day and week ahead. hugs-Erika
I forgot to say thanks for joining us at AJJ also Sharon.
Your meal looks delicious-and your art day with Elizabeth sounds very fun pretty sunflower napkins
Nice you had another play date, I love that word :-)
And ohhh, the 4 girls came out wonderfully, too!
Yes, sometimes it´s good to give a restaurant another chance, nice it was such a good experience and more than one meal, too. Happy T-Day!
For our next play date, I'll give you two napkins. One that is white and boring, and a sunflower napkin you may take home with you. I'm all about the sunflowers.
I thought you knew I took your photo. I am SO sorry. I didn't realize. Next time I will ask. I forgot to show the stencil you gave me, and the ones you loaned me, but I will do that for WOYWW this week.
Your meal looks wonderful The soup looks good, too. thanks for sharing it and your water and lemon with us for T this Tuesday, dear friend.
And before I forget, thanks for joining us at AJJ using Matilde's theme. BTW, I'm like Mae. I change the photos if they don't load right. But I seldom load more than one at a time.
Your food in that restaurant looks great, and the price was veryy moderate. Glad you had such a fun day with Elizabeth, pity I don't live nearer. Hap T Day, hugs, Valerie
Sounds like a fun time. What a pretty page!
Thank you for joining my challenge at AJJ 🥰 Oxide inks, stencils and stamps are always the best art supplies for creating something beautiful 😊
I had a similar experience with that chain - good, bad and good again. I would hate to be a restaurant these days with all their supply chain and labor issues. Looks like a good meal. How fun to go to Elizabeth's for a play date and I would have totally saved that napkin as well. Cool journal page - love the colors. Happy t-day - hugz
Your food is yummy and the page is beautiful,great idea!
Happy day, hug Elke
Hi Sharon, sorry for the late visit, on my ipad it kept telling me I wasn't signed in!
Lovely photo and how lovely to have a playdate with Elizabeth, love the artwork you made. Great looking food, good prices too. Happy belated T Day

I would have taken the sunflower napkin home as well! It's beautiful and I can well see that it can be used in an art project.
I love Italian food as well and often cook it at home. But of course it never tastes like in Italy itself - I guess I lack the Italian magic.
