Ebenezer

The anticipation of Christmas has been very exciting this year!  I have a short post to offer today because we've got lots stuff to do!

I want to tell y'all about our visit to the Pocket Sandwich Theatre!  This is a cute local theatre that serves food during a production of a play!  Jordan and I went for the first time earlier this month to see Ebenezer Scrooge!  I really enjoyed the premise of having dinner and a show, but I actually give our experience 3 out of 5 stars.  I'd go again but I felt fidgety and claustrophobic.

The acting was pretty good and the atmosphere was very welcoming, but I felt very uncomfortable in the chairs.  We shared an ice cream sundae and the food seemed pretty good. All in all, not a bad experience.
Bottom Right: This was the Pocket Sandwich playbill booklet.  It was actually put together very well and I had a great time reading about the actors and actresses during intermission.  Praise to the actor who played Scrooge.  This was the 34th year they've done the Ebenezer production and you can tell they've had lots of practice!

I took a few pictures of the space to give you an idea of how this theatre works.  Below you can see that it is kind of a small theatre but it works to your advantage because everyone has a great view of the stage.

Bottom: This is the stage just before the show began!

Other randomness...This Christmas we will not be doing any traveling so we needed to ship a TON of packages to friends and family!  It was a lot of wrapping, packing, and taping...lol!  I'm glad that everything seemed to arrive safe and sound!
Norfolk Pine trees are on sale at Home Depot!  Jordan found this tall one (left) for $13!  Since we have an artificial tree, it was nice to have the fresh greenery in our living room.
Bottom Right: Token picture of our Abby.  She is shockingly tolerant even when we throw sheets on top of her!

Merry Christmas to everyone!  Keep calm and jingle on!

Cheese it Up

Sometimes I feel like Jordan and I live for the weekends.  We are very blessed to have each other, jobs that we both enjoy, an adorable pup, and a pretty house, so we definitely  enjoy the week days.  It's just that the weekends are when the action happens!  I don't know if we rest more during the week or the weekends! Last weekend was no exception.  We managed to strike the right balance of being productive while still having some leisure time.  Those are my favorite kind of weekends because that's a really tough balance to get! We recently planted some new flowers around our house which was a big chore.  I always get the spring bug this time of year (not the sickness).  I can't help it!  I don't have any sort of green thumb so I suppose this spring tradition will continue for years to come.  In the short time that we've had these pretty flowers, we've spent a lot more time outside.  The nice weather helps too!   Here's the run down of our new pl

July 4th with Family

Happy July 4th...or 14th.  It's taken me a while to get around to sharing pictures from our Independence Day celebration but I've got 30+ pictures of family food and fun to share! There is no other holiday quite like the 4th of July in America!  Everyone takes off work to enjoy delicious food (and cold drinks), BBQ, and the faint smell of explosives in the air --- those bombs bursting in air! This year was even sweeter than previous years because my brother, Andy, and his family flew to Texas for a long visit!  I was so thrilled to see them all! Top Left: I do love a little flare!  I got a pedicure before the holiday and decided to go with a patriotic theme.  The design looks almost like a Wonder Woman theme which is equally awesome. Top Right: My brother, Scott, with his pup Lucy.  She is laser focused on the lake smells in this picture. Bottom Left: Me, my niece, Kenley, and Lucy!  Lucy sure has grown so much from when she was a puppy (see her Chri

Doodles and Drawings

I've continued to have fun with my Tombow calligraphy markers that I talked about on my Tombow Watercolor post.  Pinterest is rich with unique and interesting art!  I've found that it's extremely relaxing to sit down and doodle with my markers while sipping quality wine and listening to some music.  It makes for a messy kitchen table but I feel very chill and in my own element! The only new piece of art I have to share is this "hustle" poster I made for a friend.  I began by playing with the texture of watercolor paper (verses usually using "media" paper).  The water and markers react completely different depending on the surface and paper.  I ended up with this woodland-ish doodle. Leaves are probably not the most interesting focus, but I had fun playing with the different shades of greens and browns along with the various textures of leaves.  I have so many shades of markers so it was a great opportunity to use them all!  For fun, I even
