NEW52-Week29, Formaggio

So last week, the only NEW thing that we tried was another restaurant.  Yes, we love to indulge a bit.  Tate had a gift certificate to Formaggio so we invited my sister and her husband to come along with us.  Formaggio is known more as a wine bar with some yummy food on the side.  We ordered tons of little plates of food and shared them.  Sorry no photos except for the wine and desserts.  We started simply by asking the waiter of red wine recommendations and just bring out a bunch of little tasters for each couple.  We then went on to order a full glass of our favorites.  I can't remember what I had but I think the group overall liked the "ball buster" best for its bold flavor and high alcohol content, especially Lynn.

Lynn and I wanted to try the flour-less chocolate cake (sister is doing low carb diet) so we decided that we were going to share it.  It was way yummy!

Tate and Kurt wanted to try the creme' brulee so they decided to share it.  They also decided to show their brotherly love and feed one another.

So onto NEW layouts.  I find that I always have more layouts at the end of a month because I am busy trying to get all my oscraps and design house digital challenges done.  So here I go.  This very first layout is a page I did on my 38th birthday.  It was a nice birthday present to find out the next day that Crystal had given me a gallery standout for it.  (again insert family's fake applause here because they just don't get my digi addiction)

I also love this one.  I modified oscraps july copycat template to fit my style.  I love the lace that was in this kit.

This is Bostyn playing with her cousin Nick at a graduation party a month ago.  They had so much fun chasing each other around.  Another reason why I love templates so much is because it prevents me of creating pages that all look the same.  This was a great Design House Digital template by Gennifer Bursett.  And for those of you who are keeping track, this is the fourth time using this kit, Favorite Things, by Gennifer.
