Having Fun!

My hubby decided to wander the swapmeet on sunday morning, I am glad he did! He called me up and said he found a pool table for 300.00! So I drove down picked it up and now we can play pool in our backyard (lot cheaper then playing at the bar!)
Thanks Honey!!

What I ate Friday!

Last night Charlie and I went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. (The one in Green Valley district area)

When scrapbooking in Anaheim CAlifornia, the girls and I would walk to the Cheesecake Factory there and we had some pretty amazing dinners, so I told charlie lets try the one here!

I am not a fan of the seating, I prefer booths for privacy and comfort, here for two people you get seated at those long tables and benches where you basically sit with other people and eat.

But I went along with it, and I ordered the wasabi crusted ahi tuna steak, WOW, it was delicious!
Served over brown rice with slivers of veggies mixed in. I would go back and sit on the floor just to eat that meal again!!

So there you go, another place to eat, but you have to go early, we dine at 5:00 to beat the dinner crowds and this place gets packed, by the time we walked out it was wall to wall people waiting to eat!

Craft room update!

Since I won the scrapbook armoire, I had to redo the room, all my scrapbook stuff will be housed in it and all my paper will be along side in the bookcases. I really like how clean and organized my room is! Every plastic container is labeled and I know right where to find everything!
I almost have it complete but I have to wait for joanns to send me some more 14x14 cases to organize all my scrapbook stickers and embellishments, then it will be done, I ordered them online at a price of 4.99 each, they are normally 9.99 so I will wait to save that kind of dough!! But for the most part I have every craft in it's own place, and now that I bribed Tanya into teaching me to knit I will have to find a place for knitting supplies! I made her a favorite lunch she likes, buffalo chicken salad with blue cheese dressing -  in return she taught me the basics of knitting! Everyone be prepared - you are getting scarves for christmas!! hahaha!!

This wall is rubber stamps, crafting supplies, and counter has printer and cutter, the bottom cupboards are filled with fabric for sewing!

Next wall, has long counter for working on, the far right the cabinet has a roll out trash can!

next wall has Sam's perch, he sleeps there all the time looking out the window to keep an eye on the hood!

The first bookcase houses all my beading/jewelry making supplies, then you see the new armoire and 2 more bookcases.

This is the wall you see as you walk in, it has all my jewelry that is for sale on etsy, and tons of magazines!

The new piece, I added write on/magnet boards to the top doors.

The table top pulled out. lots of space to work.

The bottom cupboards, waiting for the cases to put all my stickers in, cats, travel, misc.

My albums, stamp pads, and paper, paper, paper, paper!!
