WHAT'S for dinner?!?!?!?!? and a Challenge

So a quick post tonight. Going with the theme of Christmas again. *wink* This was another part of SIL and BIL's gift.

With my husband's family, there are so many of us, we put family names into a hat and pull one family to buy for. It makes it a little easier money wise...SIL and BIL like the Outback (me too really) and so part of their gift is to have a date night with yummy food :)

I wanted to come up with a really clever GC holder and all that, but as it always does, Christmas arrived, and I had run out of time...so I tried to dress up what I had.

I have the 'Punny Farm' set from My Favorite Things, and thought 'hmmmm....I need to use that cow...' So I made 'bulging' eyes on the cow - and made a computer generated sentiment. Cute, right? I thought it is dressed it up a little - makes you giggle, and then onto the gift :)

What do you think???


Now - some other business I need to attend to. My cyber-friend Holly has issued me a challenge...kind of a fun one really.

The rules for this challenge are - Go to where you store your photos on your computer. Go to the SIXTH folder and pick the SIXTH photo. Post that photo on your blog along with a SHORT story about it. Tag SIX people and leave a comment on their blog or email them letting them know you chose them.

Being a rule follower (well MOST of the time anyway) I went into my photos, and came up with this one:

This is my older daughter - on New Year's Eve...also her 5th birthday. We had these balloons in my car the night before, and put them in her room after she went to sleep - so when she woke up in the morning - she knew it was a special day. The day didn't go entirely as planned due to some snow - but it worked out great, spent with family, and it was a LOT of fun for us all!

Alright - now to pass it on...I've got a friend who just started her blog yesterday, so I'm breaking her in right - let me throw a challenge her way...stop by Laura's blog and show her some love - she's AWESOME - and you'll love her as much as I do :)

Here's my 6:
1. Laura
2. Sarah
3. Rebecca
4. Dawn
5. Molly
6. Cindy

Can't wait to see what thier photos are :)

Thanks for stopping by!!

You stinker! You tagged me when I was trying to jump over the pile of cardstock...no fair! I wasn't watching where I was going! You're lucky I didn't trip and scrap my knees! I just might have to report you to the principal's office! Nanner, Nanner, Boo Boo!

On a serious note! What a precious little girl and her balloons and an awesome gift card holder! You rock!

Thanks for thinking of me..I do miss getting harrassed by all you stinkers!

Happy today!
Hugs!
Cindy

Okay- I see I have been tagged! But I may change the rules just a tad....I have this thing about 3 6's!! Eeeewwww! So I think I'll just change the number to seven. Oh boy- that means I have to tag 7 people! Oh well, that could mean more fun, right?
I'll get to it soon. Thanks for thinking of me! :-)

Now as for the card and your pic- adorable on both counts! I love the card- you have such a fun style and good humor!

And that cutie pie of a DD you have! What a sweet idea you had with the balloons. I just may have to steal that one. She must have been so happy starting her birthday in such a fun way!

Okay- off to see what the 7th pic is in my 7th folder and then to tag 7 people!
