Fridaylicious

I wanted to get to Michelle's house at a decent time, and managed to get there at 11:30. I haven't been sleeping well this week (#$@!) but had actually slept through the night on Thursday and woken up with a weird neck/headache. I took a couple Excedrin's, which did the trick, and ended being rather hyper thanks to the caffeine in them. (Now that I don't drink diet Coke anymore, caffeine actually affects me.)


I got to Michelle's house feeling ravenous and rather bouncy feeling. We had scrumptious roast beef paninis and tomato, red pepper soup. The weather was breezy and rainy so it felt like the perfect meal for the day.


I brought peanut butter m&m's (I really wish Costco would sell a huge bag of those) which Eva ended up being rather excited about. Michelle and I were too, just not quite so vocally.


I brought so much stuff to work on, and managed to get a ton done. I reframed 5 photos (I hate cleaning the glass on those, but what could I do?).


I cut out some good mail labels, and wrote 10 cards. Woohoo. I had written and sent 10 cards on Tuesday of this week so I am feeling good-mailicious for sure.

Michelle was working on some of her genius tags.


She surprised me by making me a set of cute tags with envelopes on them. Oh la la.

Our self-portrait of the week.

It was a fun, productive day with comfortable, breezy weather. I LOVE Creative Friday!

Do you like peanut butter m&ms?
Did you send any cards this week?
When was the last time you framed a photo?**

One of my other PB M&M loving friends told me they do sell a giant bag of them at Costco - check next time! I know stores vary what they sell, but she just mentioned she got them recently. They're so good.

I just framed photos this week. I am always trying to update and change things around.

My body is too used to caffeine to feel much of an effect anymore. Sad.

What a fun, fun Friday, well, after the neck/head pain went away. The lunch looks so tasty. Michelle needs to create a recipe blog for all of her creative kitchen genius!

Peanut butter m&ms top them all, with almond coming in a close second!

Have a great weekend!

I have to say, I don't notice much of any effect from caffeine. (but sometimes if I take Excedrin on an empty stomach...)

I'm so glad we had such a long, lovely day. The cloudy, rainy weather only enhanced it all for me.

I would say that peanut butter m&ms are the best of all the delicious m&ms. And I'm working on framing some photos today!

Your days sounds fantastic!

Caffeine doesn't make me hyper, but if I have it too late, I am doomed for the night.

I love that picture of Michelle working! And peanut butter m&ms are the best. I love the crispy ones too, but can't seem to find them anymore.

I framed a bunch of pictures last week- it is so hard to choose!

between you and amy, i am hearing the call of the empty frames!! they've been leaning against my bedroom wall for FAR too long.

Caffeine does effect me (one reason I so love diet coke :).

Peanut butter M&Ms are my FAVORITE...but it is probably a good thing for me they don't sell them at costco...I don't know how to stop and would end up eating the entire huge bag!!

Glad you had a fun friday!

Michelle's lunch looks lovely, and just simply perfect. I really underestimate the 'sufficientness' of soup and bread. I think I just made that word up, can you tell?

Oooh, cleaning glass on frames is a killer - particularly if you frame it all up and then turn it over to find a teeny speck of something under the glass! Argh!

I've got a John Rocha frame sitting on the windowsill, bereft of a photo. It's been like that for an embarrassingly long time - so I must see to that.

I love Michelle's tags!! She seems to have a way with making little simple things very, very special.

What a fun day... I love PB M&Ms (in fact I just had a handful left over from our movie last night) and also wish Costco would step up to the plate and sell an industrial sized bag. I used to drink a lot of caffeine (college days) but now that I don't, even a bit of it makes me have insomnia, which isn't a fair trade off for the small energy burst I get from it.

Soup and toasted sandwiches on a rainy day are the best!

you are two cute!!

Barb said...

Those envelope tags are genius. I love how you both blog about the other person's projects! I hope today was Sundaylicious.

Laurie said...

Delicious indeed! Your lunch looks srumptious, as usual, and peanut butter M&M's sound really good (I can't think if I've ever had them).

I do not feel hyper from caffeine but wish I did...

I love PB m&ms.

I didn't send and cards and haven't framed a photo since Christmas.

Your day looks fabulous, as always.
