Hot Blog Hop Update and Some Candi!



I spent the day Friday shopping at the Scrap Expo in Santa Clara.

Jacob was not entirely thrilled to see the amount of stuff he

had to put away.


Eiyiyi! Hide the receipts!


After a hard day...wine a bit, you'll feel better!

Now this is more like it! All Jacob has talked about was wine tasting since he got here,

so we spent the evening at the La Luna party at Murietta's Well. Fabulous wine and food pairing.



Taking a little break between courses.




And some tasting of Library Wines. Yeah, I'm pretty much 3 sheets, look at that goofy grin!

At least Jake's still standing. Cheers!




One last job before he and Clippy are on their way. Welcome to COUGAR TOWN!

Barbie may be a little older, but she's worth a FORTUNE! And so are her wheels!




"Hey Big Boy, wanna go for a ride?" "Frankie who?" Where the heck are Clippy and Chloe?

I'll never tell!




So if you've hung in here to the end, you deserve so Candi! Card Candi, that is. Leave me a comment and take a peek at the fabulous assortment HERE from Scrappy Go Lucky, USA. The winner will receive 3 colors of their choice plus the Candi Fix and will be chosen by random org next Wednesday. Be sure and stop back, because there will also be a little SURPRISE. It will be so hard to say good bye to Jacob and Clippy but they're off to Arizona to visit the super talented Jennifer at The Country Life. EEEKKK!!! What happened to my sidebar stuff? It's all on the bottom. Help! Has blogger gone crazy again?

  2. You are one crazy lady! I'm sure Jacob had a great time, but I can't believe he'd go for that cougar! This is the first time I've seen the Candi's and I could get so hooked! I avoid using brads because they leave "bumps" on the backsides of the pieces, and because when I do decide they would be great on a card it is too late to push their scrawny legs through the paper. I've often cut off their legs and applied the tops with 3D dots...... So why did I not think of Candi first? Doh!

  6. I don't know what I love more ... your description of these events ... or the thought of you actually toting Jacob along to a wine and food pairing!

    Do you carry him in your purse or cupped in your hands where he can see and be seen?

  10. Donna, What is with the cougar thing? I didn't view Jacob as a cougar lover. Maybe it's the car. I love love love the scrap expo, I am patiently waiting for Nov (I have a post from the last one on my blog of all the goodies I got) Looks like the winery was a hit as well. Jacob seems like he is having a ball. I will be watching. TFS Traci

  17. Love it!! And love Candi too. I hope Jacob enjoyed the wine and wasn't too sore after putting all of your bargains away!! Thanks for the chance to win!

  18. HaHa..."at least he's still standing." Obviously you drank all the wine and didn't share with him, and that's why he got in Barbie's car...vintage or not!

    Love seeing your Expo score, how fun! I can't wait to see what you do with all your new goodies.

    :Dx

  19. L-O-V-E Jacob's adventures! I checked out the Candi and that looks super cool. I want to give it a try now that I know what it is! :) Thanks for the giveaway!

  20. OMG, I don't know where to start. Were you still 2 sheets to the wind when you posted this Donna? LOL! Hey, Jacob may have had some hard work to do putting all your loot away (wow what a haul!) but he got his just rewards in the end. Wine and Barbie! How can he top that!? And now I have to comment on Barbie and her car. I'm showing my age now, but I'm in awe of your original Barbie and the car! WOW Donna, how cool is that. I had that car, and dream house and fashion shop, Ken, etc. but gave all my stuff away at least 20 years ago! You go girl!--Pat N.
