Game Day!

College Football is back!  Can I get a "woo-hoo!"?  We're not televised this week, but I'm enjoying watching the other games.  How about those Baylor Bears?  Dang!

I did several things to get prepared for this exciting weekend...

First, a trip to Central Market yesterday afternoon to buy lots of yumminess to make it through all the games on this holiday weekend.

Second, making a Red Raider Wreath for my door...

I got this inspiration from Pinterest...


I went to Canton on Thursday and bought some of the "ingredients" to make my own version.

I bought a roll of this metallic deco fabric, or as I like to call it "that damn fabric"...
I really do hate working with this stuff, but I think it looks nice.

As you can see I bought this odd kind of wreath there too.  It's made for using on this type of project.  I decided on a silver wreath to add a little pizazz, or as Lisa pointed out in the store, "When you are going gaudy, you might as well just go really gaudy!".
I had lots of help as you can see...
Then she just gave up any pretense of even helping and moved to the couch...

The "finished" product.  I really do intend to add some other stuff to it.  I just don't know what I want yet.  I made a trip to Hobby Lobby and found a couple of possibilities, but I need to keep looking a bit more before I'm willing to commit.  So for now, this is the finished product...

Ready for game day...

 

Go Red Raiders!  Wreck 'Em!

Europe 2024 {Day 10 ~ Munich, Germany}

On December 22nd, I departed Salzburg train station at 8:00 and arrived in Munich at 9:40.  The station is under construction and a real mess!  I finally made my way out and found it was really raining.  I made my way to a taxi and took it to my hotel.  My hotel room wasn't ready but they kept my bags for me and I headed out.   I have been to Munich a couple of times and wanted to see a couple of things I haven't had a chance to do before.  I planned to to go to the Nazi Documentation Center first since it was raining, but when I looked it up on my phone to double check the hours, I learned they had just closed for renovations.  So rain or not, I was going to have to head out to Nymphemburg Palace.  I took the tram out and then walked to the palace. I don't know why, but I didn't take many pictures on the inside. I also bought a ticket to the Royal Stables Museum which houses lots of coaches. I really found all the sleighs to be a sight to see, bu...
