Fratelli's Ristorante 9300 So. 1000 East

Just one thing to say - Wow! Loved it, Loved it. (Thank Amy for the head's up on this one). But save room for desert - hazelnut Gelato! lemon Gelato! (you actually get 3 scoops of your choice). A very pleasant restaurant that made me believe I was back in Italy...

I had to add a copy of the poem I was assigned to write for my 7 year old niece, Karmen so she can read it again. She gives me (the teacher) homework assignments, you see. After all, she did write me a book about my cats that I begged her to write!
So my first poem back to her was:

I have a young niece named Karmen,
Who's sweater she couldn't get her arm in.
She struggled and pulled
and she yanked and rolled
So we now put a sock on her arm to keep warm in!

Karmen said I got an A+ on this one - so there you have it! I must be teacher's pet!

Yeah, I know, I'll stick with the science job thingy.

bracelets made from wedding announcement

As I promised, here are the five bracelets I made from a wedding announcement.

They really are beautiful and I hope the recipients love them as much as I do!

If you read the earlier blog about these, the wedding colors are light gray, eggplant purple and silver. The paper beads are the tube beads, the brides have her name and her new husbands name on a bead. The purple I found to go with them as satin string beads.

Put a few silver and AB swarovski with them and TA DA.

Now a life time keepsake.

P.S. for fun, try the blog: catalogliving.net What a hoot. someone takes catalog pictures and then writes lines about them as if it were a couple talking about their daily lives. A quick fun read! - see my link on the left or just type in your address line: catalogliving.net Thanks Amy for the info on this blog! love it!
