WOYWW 336 - Decorated Envelopes and Birthday Lunch

I echo Julia's words from last week "Doesn't Wednesdays come around quick!!!" This one in particular did, I literally blinked and my desk hadn't changed much...ok I lie...it became a dumping ground for various activities in life.

I had to take a left and right photo to fit everything in. Cans of tuna to the left lol. Gelatoes-iridescent medium and memories ink pad, red battery for lamp to be recharged, testing my Australia stamp under the scissors in various colours. Colour burst in the basket that didnt get to find a home. 

Devil Wears Prada book, gelatos stamped out ready to be made into cards. My shower bag that I pack for camping came out to be cleaned up, I like putting my toiletries in a clear plastic bag so I can see whats in it. Various stamps being used. Color Burst in a basket still haven't found a home yet. 

So I can finally showcase my envelopes for October that I sent out as they have arrived at their destinations because I don't know who looks at my blog that receive my various designs. You can see a VIDEO on how to do it by the talented Elizabeth Oxenfeld-love her accent/voice, she also participates in Decorated Envelopes so she got one as well. 

Shoshi I tried to sort of zentangle the first letter of the name and failed miserably. Anyway I am learning slowly and getting better and better each month IMHO

I had a birthday on Sunday, all 55 years of me. The lovely Doreen Worth took me to lunch at Ashmore on the Gold Coast on Monday. Of course we had to go and visit The Stampers Hut and right beside it was this cafe. Nothing told us that it spun out these gorgeous meals. The title of mine was "Satay chicken and Basmati rice" I ordered it because it was something I hadn't eaten in a long time. There wasn't much else on the menu..but oh boy when it came out it was a sight to behold. Of course I offered Doreen to have a taste, she stuck her fork and knife into it and I yelled out "STOP PHOTO" HAHAHA I remembered just in time to take a photo unlike my HALF EATEN PHOTO HERE. So to describe this sumptuous meal, it had friend onions, quinoa, toasted almonds and the peanut sauce was to die for. My mouth is watering now just writing all this up LOL, so much so that I ordered 2 more of them to take home for my daughter and hubby. I cannot wait to go back again.

Doreen ordered the chicken and bacon wrap and she let me try it. oh my its the sauce on it that made that wrap so tasty, definitely going to order that next time too.

I had goosebumps reading this article, the first of course. Five Ship Spectacular on Sydney Harbour on 25 November, stay tuned!
