I got tired of suggesting to my girls that they should do something else besides t.v. watching and computer games. "Mom", they remind me, "we go outside and play with our friends too!". Well, not often enough. So, I headed to Michael's (it's a craft store in our area. do you have it too? I love it!) to become inspired. I picked up some latch hook designs, one cat, one dog and sat with my girls to learn/teach how to make their soon-to-be pillow or wall hanging. My hope is for a new project a week. We'll see how this goes. For now though, let's have a little break and take part in our Virtual Girls Night Out!
*The VGNO is for those who want to party "virtually" with other bloggers. Get on your fuzzy slippers, make yourself a cocktail, and have fun! Leave a comment to let us know you've stopped by. Happy VGNO!*
Time For Some Tunes!
As a member of the One2One Network I was introduced to the wonderful voice, and personality, of Chris Mann years ago. He's very talented (and very funny). He was prepping his followers to watch The Voice for his audition, so I did, and I cried. He was fantastic. He has a beautiful, powerful voice with so much emotion that it carries you away. So romantic. Check him out:

Time For A Cocktail!
Ingredients:
1 - 1 1/2 oz peach schnapps
4 - 6 oz frozen mango mix
1 tbsp grenadine syrup
4 - 6 oz frozen mango mix
1 tbsp grenadine syrup
The
mango mix should be blended with crushed ice first then with the schnapps.
Pour the schnapps and mango mix into a cocktail glass with the
grenadine already placed at the bottom.
Sounds delicious! Cheers!
