Girls Weekend


Friday morning mom, Jackie and I hit the road towards Houston to have a fun girls weekend.  On our way down we stopped in Corsicana to visit the Scrappin' Goodtime store. It is a scrapbook store and retreat. http://www.scrappingoodtime.com/ This store had many brands and a large variety of double sided paper than we've seen anywhere. We were there on the day of the owners 13th anniversary of opening the store. It is quite a place and we will definately be stopping at this location again!

Then we were off to Applebees for lunch and then visited the Collin Street Bakery where we tried to purchase a pumpkin pie. They only had pecan, apple and fudge pie.  So PLAN B, we will pick one up with groceries in Houston.

We arrived in Houston around 2:45pm, shopped for some groceries at HEB (to surprise Audrey with our early arrival and dinner).  We got to Karl and Audreys house around 3:30pm, unloaded the truck and proceeded to start dinner.  It was a quickly prepared (mini-Thanksgiving) meal: Turkey,  potatoes/gravy; baked sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.
Friday evening we showed everything we brought for ftuture Baby Girl Kuklenz.

  I brought her a big green tub of baby toys, bottle rack, sippy cups, changing pad and covers, boppy pillow and cover, receiving blankets, breast milk refrigeration package, musical activity center, pack n play, and infant car seat and base.
  Mom gave her a baby album, some stuffed animals, mommy to be 2014 - Hallmark Christmas ornament, girly outfits and a large supply of bibs. She also got her the crib bumper. Jackie brought a ton of Auntie and Uncle onesies, some stroller/carseat toys.

 

On Saturday morning, Karl and Audrey made breakfast burritos while I made pumpkin dip.
After clean up, we began crafting. Jackie made wine cork angels
 Attach ribbon
 Attach hanger.
 She made a whole container full.
 and then was PHOTOBOMBED by Karl.
I made two types of wreaths. A Christmas (tied ribbon) wreath and a peacock wreath
 (christmas gift for Josh's grandmother to put on her nursing home door)

 Add narrow width - purple glitter deco mesh
 Add peacock and peacock feathers as embellishments.
 
 Mom also made a tied ribbon wreath. In addition to two Christmas wreaths.

 
I purchased two picks: 1 ornament balls, the other was twists/curls in the same colors.



Audrey disassembled an old Christmas wreath and spruced it up! Then she saw my deco mesh wreath and wanted to make one for Valentines day. So off to Hobby Lobby we went then back home to finish the wreaths.

All our crafts!
We finished up crafting by 5pm and got dressed up to go out for dinner.
 Dinner reservations at 7pm.  J. Alexanders - Houston.
