So Much Fun Saturday!!

I have been waiting for this day for a few weeks now....so I got up early, fixed myself as cute as I could, went and got my nails done and then.... I started driving to my fun destination. These figures are about 10 feet, or maybe more on the corner of a farm. In the 13 years I have lived here I have said, I have to get a picture of those someday...well, today was someday! I drove a little farther to Claim Jumpers to meet my friend for lunch....







It is Liz from Rose Vignettes! Oh my goodness....we had such a good time! we barely could take time to order anything to eat! But of course, we did manage it... and then, I had another fun time cuz I got to take Liz to....





YEP, that was me! She had never been there. Well upon walking in the door the sound from her was somewhere between an OH, AH, UH!!!! We who love Hobby Lobby know that feeling. Well we walked around for about an hour and a half and then we had to get home....really, we probably could still be there!



After that I was so thirsty! I stopped at Taco Bell for one of their Strawberry Colata Freezes. Have you tried these??? Well, just warning you, aside from the brain freeze with the first few sips....they are YUMMY!

Liz brought me this adorable gift she made for me. It is breathtaking. Brown velvet ribbon and a gorgeous cameo in the center. I love it!
If you haven't visited with Liz be sure to stop at her blog! She is very talented and has a lovely home!
Seriously.....today was WAY fun!

I just don't know where to start, what a fun day! The figures are fun, having lunch with Liz, fun! Hobby Lobby is always great and even more so with a friend. I have not tried the Taco Bell drinks but will have to now! So glad you had a good day!

Looks like another great day of meeting a blogging friend. How exciting...I'm jealous.
I'll have to try one of those drinks.
Did you guys buy a lot at Hobby Lobby?

Hi CeeKay! :) I'm still all smiles. You should have heard me talking to my daughter about Hobby Lobby! My husband was rolling his eyes and saying "Oh brother! Oh great!" LOL!

I already found a spot for my sweet little pink plates. But I think I need a plate holder for the wall... hmmmm where shall I go to find one? he he he

I had a great time! Lets do it again soon! :)

How fun to meet another blogger. It looks like you 2 had a great day. Hobby Lobby is always a fun place to spend a few hours. The Taco Bell drink looks very refreshing. The framed cameo is such a beautiful and thoughtful gift.

Bargain Decorating with Laurie said...

This looks like a great day! I can spend an hour in H.L. and I go there frequently. I'm always afraid I'm going to miss some great bargain if I don't look at every single thing in the store. Those figures on the corner are really neat! Glad ya'll had such a great day. laurie
