T Stands for Busy Week-end!

 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1:7 KJV


 Happy Day, everyone!  I had a busy week-end finishing up our VSN challenges on Splitcoaststampers.

I completed all 19 challenges with 8 birthday cards, a Christmas card, a 4th of July card and 1 thinking of you card.  The other 8 cards could be used for a choice of occasion.  I love doing these challenges as they make me used long forgotten items in my stash; like brads, or stickers, or just older stamp sets. One of my favorites was one I made with stencils.  I tried a new technique; a spinner card. 

Here is a photo of the fruits of my labor:


  This will be short today.  My ticket for the TSFT party over at Altered Book Lover hosted by Bleubeard & Elizabeth is below.  We did go out to eat last week at our very favorite restaurant (Angelo's) that has reopened in a new location since closing because of the pandemic.  We celebrated Father's Day early.





Of course I can't get the photos in the right order!  But the top photo is the delicious cheese cake they brought us for free as an apology because they ran out of garlic toast and had to bake more and it didn't come with the beginning of our meal.  The cheese cake was out of this world and came with little bowls of chocolate, and caramel, which we used liberally!   The garlic toast was worth waiting for ; the best we have every had anywhere.  Our manicotti was out of this world as well.  We even brought home a sleeve of it each for supper the next night!  The middle photo was a wall  painting by our table.  And, is last our water!  Best meal! 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great week!

As always, I am impressed with your cards and how each is so very different. How awesome.

Nice to see Angelo's opened in a new location. They closed near where I live. Your meal sounds great and your cheesecake is to die for. Thanks for sharing your wonderful cards, the dessert, the mural, and your waters for T this Tuesday, Sharon.

I had planned to call you anyway, but I was afraid you were away, so haven't. I'll be gone Wednesday, but will call Thursday.

I am very impressed with all your cards Sharon. They look beautiful and that is a lot of work! And your treat looks so yummy. I bet you are happy your favorite restaurant didn't close for good. So many places did close down because of the pandemic. Have a great T day and first day of summer. Hugs-Erika
