What a busy weekend for me! Friday started off with Judy picking me up to play Hand and Foot (which my team won, by the way!) When she dropped me off at home, I discovered Sonny was not home and I had not brought my keys to get in the house. He was running errands in Mooresville. So Judy was kind enough to drive me to meet him. She was headed in to Mooresville anyway to Subway so I didn't feel like I made her go too far out of her way. Anyway .... thanks Judy!! Sonny was at the grocery store. By the time we finished there and got home, I only had a couple of hours before I needed to drive in to town again. Newcomers annual fundraiser, Bingo, was Friday night. We have a Bingo night with prizes and silent auction items every year and all the proceeds go towards our Literacy Program. Our big silent auction item is the dinner that the Southern Living Lunch group auctions off. This time we decided to also add a luncheon for 8 people along with the dinner for 10. We serve the winners a gourmet dinner (and lunch this year) with wine. We made $400 on the dinner and I think about $250-300 on the lunch!! So, not too shabby! There were so many great prizes this year - door prizes as well as bingo prizes. The committee outdid itself. I donated 4 boxes of hand made greeting cards with envelopes and was thrilled to see that they were on the silent auction table and were popular. I think they sold for around $50! Marianne, Angela and my mom went with me to the event. Sonny stayed home this year! I came home with a nice basket with wine, napkins, plastic wine glass (great for the boat!) and truffles and the plant centerpiece. Marianne got a silent auction item of a game basket. Mom got a gift certificate from Denny's and a nail spa. Angela won a gift certificate to her favorite Mexican restaurant. So, we all did pretty well.
Saturday morning I had to get up at 6:30!! How AWFUL! I went to a class at Verizon to learn how to use my "smarter than me" phone. It was somewhat helpful but I did find out that I knew a lot more than the other people in the class! After the class, I went to Concord to teach a group of ladies My Digital Studio. I just love teaching others to use MDS. It is so rewarding to hear the "ahhhh's" and "ohhhh's" as they learn the program. It's such fun! When I got home, I tried to take a quick siesta before leaving again to meet the family in Statesville for dinner at a new Mexican restaurant. The food was good but it's hard for me to compare NC Mexican food after eating it in Texas!! I was so tired when we got home but made it until 10:30 before going to bed.
Today I have been getting ready for bridge at my house. I have 12 ladies coming to play. I spent a lot of time working on my digital scrapbook from England and Ireland. I am trying to finish it in time to take advantage of Stampin' Up's digital sale that ends at the end of the week.
Last Thursday I had time to finally play around with the Pop'n'Cuts Die and dress die. I made this card using the die:
