Easter Is Approaching...

aaah, but is the Spring weather coming with it? After another Nor'easter went by last week I'm a bit concerned. Just look at this:

 When all was done after 24 hrs we ended up with just under a foot (about 30cm) of snow!! Thankfully hubby didn't have to go to work, and we never lost power though others weren't so fortunate.  Thankfully the sun has been out since that day last Wednesday, quickly melting it away:)

 Now for the fun stuff! First up, this card is meant for the Simon Wednesday Challenge (theme is Floral Frenzy):

 Products: white cardstock; asst. washi tapes (Recollections); Altenew Painted Greetings, Peony Bouquet stamp and die set; Inks- Archival Leaf Green, Buttercup, Sunflower; Distress Mowed Lawn, Worn Lipstick; Colorbox Pink; Versafine Onyx Black; Moonshine sequins (Simon Says Stamp).

 For T stands For Tuesday I'm going to share another wonderful dinner out with hubby, Kyra and Todd. We took them to Stefano's of course for the excellent food but also to see a fun band called Two Girls and a Sax. Enjoy the music while I share our meals:

             House salads, fresh baked bread and dipping sauce along with merlot for the girls and beer for the guys

  cheese steak boli and fries for Todd. He ended up getting three meals out of this huge stromboli- and it was the regular size!

                a steak sandwich and fries for Bill- and he ate it all:)

 I had the tortellini rustica which I've had before - yum!! Half went home...

 and Kyra chose the cavatelli Calabrese (Bill had this before) and she loved it! Half went home with her too:)

 Speaking of food I have a meal to share for Cast Iron Fridays hosted by Kathy:

 This was our Sunday dinner. I made it before and it is SO yummy! Chicken breasts with roasted garlic, onion, red pepper, grape tomatoes and pesto. First time I made it on the grill but this time I tried it in the oven. Just as good! Here's the recipe. I only made some minor adjustments to mine.

 Ok, enough food. How about a journal page?
