Non-Wedding Cards

My friend Lara got married and this is the card I made for her. I usually make a prototype that I intend to use–which always makes it a little sketchy. Heh.
I swiped this concept from Martha Stewart ages ago. Using the little oval tissue paper pieces to make flowers on paper. These were really fun to make. Likely made in 2004.

Crazy Libertarian Car–Guest Submission!

My husband spotted this Ron Paul-lovin’, big tobacco-sympathizin’, all around nutty Libertarian vehicle on his lunch hour today. It got stuck making a turn and he had time to whip out the camera phone. :heart.
I love my husband! And I love crazies!I should disclose that I think the all-out freak-out on smokers and smoking is way over the top and I think it’s starting to infringe on the smokers’ civil liberties. That said? I wouldn’t wallpaper my car about it.

Del Rhea’s Chicken Basket, Willowbrook, IL, Rte. 66

Located on historic Route 66, Del Rhea’s Chicken Basket has been serving up fried chicken baskets since the 1940s to hungry travelers on Route 66! It’s cheap and delicious and you won’t find a better corn fritter anywhere!

Thanks to my friend Anne and her twin sister Jenny for taking me and my husband here a few weeks ago. The interior is decorated with a vintage chicken kitchen theme. Hee!

And the light-up flashing neon just beckons you in, no? What a great place! Thanks, Anne!
