52 Weeks - Focus On LIfe - Week Three - Take Time





This week's photo prompt from Sally Russick is Take Time - take time to do something for yourself.  My boyfriend and I ran errands on Thursday night and then he asked me where I wanted to go and eat.  Hmmmm.  I didn't really care.  He suggested Outback Steakhouse.  I said, ok...  Then I remembered their Wallaby Darned drink.  So this was the time I took for myself this week - I had a good steak and a good drink!  And it was a fun mid-week date!

I love mid week dates! They are unexpected and seem to make the rest of the week go faster somehow!! ;-)

Sounds good to me mate! We enjoyed the same things this past week, there was an outback adjoining our hotel on Islamorada! Great shot.

Ohhh I love the Outback Steak House--specifically their dark rye bead loafs which I could eat three of and take another three home.

That sounds like fun! I could use a little time with my man and a steak and a drink. It has been interesting to get a glimpse into everyone's lives and to see some new ways to focus on pampering myself in the future! Enjoy the day. Erin

That empty glass had me grinning the moment I saw it. A good drink is a fabulous way to unwind and have a moment to ourselves. I hope you did enjoy it!

Bead Soup Blog Party!

Welcome to the 3rd Bead Soup Blog Party! What is a Bead Soup Blog Party?

Bead Soup Blog Party!

Today is the day of the big Bead Soup Blog Party reveal! Lori Anderson, the wonderful host of this event, reported that there are 362 participants this year! That's a lot of blogs to look at. I will try my best to get to each and every one, but it may take weeks! My partner was Laura Zeiner from Stick Lizard Designs . She has a lot of talent, that girl. If you recall in my previous post , she sent me these beads: And this is what I made: I love love love the focal she sent me. It's gorgeous! The lack of sun here in Pittsburgh does nothing for this rock! The colors and crystals are beautiful! I had no idea what to do with it, though, and I pondered for quite a while. I decided to make links with 18 gauge copper wire and think I did an ok job at it. I'm sure there are some better ways to do this, and I'd love to hear about them. I'm just really starting to get into the world of wire and so my skills aren't that great. In any event, I made some beady links ...

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is ...
