I received this beautiful handmade card from my friend Sheri as a thank you.  You are very welcome….and I love this card!  I’m off to Monterey for the weekend….will post pictures of Thomas the Train on Sunday evening.  My SIL and DIL and grandson invited me to go with them.  Can’t wait!


Day 211 – Yummy Chicken Salad

July 30, 2010

A very long time ago….I went to a luncheon with a bunch of women and they served chicken salad in a cantaloupe ring….and it was delicious!  Tony and I fixed chicken salad for lunch today and it was even better!  We had white chicken meat, apples, raisins, walnuts, red onion, celery salt, fresh ground pepper, a little bit of pickle relish, a little garlic salt, and mayonnaise to make it more moist and cohesive.  Yum, yum!


Day 210 – Two Socks The Scrounger!

July 29, 2010

My cat Two Socks sometimes thinks he’s human.  Today I fixed a rice and garlic shrimp dish for lunch for Tony and I and when I was cleaning up…..I spilled some rice on the floor.  Two Socks ran over and started eating it!  Silly cat!


Day 209 – Itsy-Bitsy Spider Remix

Big Philip took Preston on the tractor at his ranch.  Preston was alright when we first put him up there, but got a little scared after the tractor took off. 


Day 205 – Preston and Friends

July 24, 2010

Today we went out to the ranch in Selma on my SIL and BIL.  My grandson had a fun day playing with the other little people there.  Jaden is on the left, Preston in the center and Ana is on the right.  Ana has caught 2 frogs and she has them in her bucket.  Preston got to ride on a tractor with his uncle too!


Day 204 – Tony Washed My Car

July 23, 2010

My car was FILTHY!!!! The wheels were BLACK!  His power washer blew a fuel hose some time back and he just replaced it.  (Like we couldn’t wash it by hand!)  Anyway….Thanks Tony!  You’re the (handy) man!  I think I’ll keep you a little while longer!!!!  ;o)


Day 203 – Dell Mini10

July 22, 2010

I ordered a Dell Mini 10 in lime green today for when we travel out of town. We always want access to the Internet and thought this would be a lighter thing to carry than our regular size laptops!  Can’t wait to get it and start playing!


Day 202 – Wise Up

July 21, 2010

Tony and I went to lunch today…to Famous Dave’s BBQ.  Thought I’d take a picture of his new shirt from Bill O’Reilly’s store…..WISE UP!  Had to put Tony’s beer in there, just for fun!


Day 201 – Wonderful Review

July 20, 2010

I received my feedback from Carina Gardner today and I am SO excited with it.  She was so complimentary….she had a few things I could look at to improve, like the balance of my polka-dotted paper, and perhaps making my pattern on my patterned paper a little smaller.  But overall….she was VERY pleased!  YAY!!!  So I made a new embellishment for my kit…..here it is. 


Day 200 – I Passed!

July 19, 2010

I almost forgot, I studied all weekend by re-reading all 5 weeks of my Art of Digital Design class notes and re-watched all the videos….what a marathon!  At about 12:44 this morning, I started my test and 48 minutes later, I completed and passed my 50 question test with a 90%.  I only missed 5 questions.  Yay for me!  Just waiting for my kit review by Carina Gardner….she has it and hopefully early this week she’ll have her review of it.  After that….I am a JessicaSprague.com “Certified Digital Designer”!!!  I’m so excited!


Day 200 – Sausage Humor
