The lunch today was too much fun! We enjoyed a somewhat healthy menu of apple & butternut squash soup; roasted vegetable tossed salad with baby spinach and arugula; and a carrot cake with a cheesecake and glaze pecan topping. The last menu item is why I said "somewhat" healthy, although carrots, pecans, and cream cheese are low carb and limited quantities of sugar are used in both the carrot cake and the cheesecake. That's the story and all of us are sticking to it!

The second birthday card is an "oldie but goodie" stamp design by Aggie Werner when she owned Paper Parachute. Her precise intricate stamp designs were always one of my favorites.

I'm enjoying what little time I can find in the studio. And I'm dreaming of the day when "life" doesn't interfere so much with my creative time.

Thanks for stopping in; I do enjoy your company!
