A visit from my friend Kathy

My friend Kathy came bearing gifts last week.  Lots and lots of gifts.
 
I think she had more fun playing with my newest rocking horse than I did.   She told me she found it at an antique mall.  I love it!

In addition to gifts, she brought a few of the fabric books she is making.

For Kathy, more is never enough.   She goes over the top with everything she makes.

These books are out of this world.  She buys laces, trims, buttons, etc., and

hot glues everything in place.   Over the top is not in her vocabulary. 

I thought I took photos of my gifts to her and her gifts to me, but they were not on my camera.  She cleaned her craft room again, and gave me a bunch of stuff she no longer wanted, including some French ads and newspapers a friend of hers had picked up one year while in France.  I can't wait to use them in my scrappy journals.

I also took her to lunch.  She wanted to visit an Irish pub, although we ended up eating Mexican.

Practically no one was there when we arrived, so we had the place virtually to ourselves.

She suggested I take a photo of the windows as we were leaving.  Because it was so late when we finished eating, we decided to not go craft shopping.  I look forward to her coming back closer to both our birthdays, though.

When I looked through all the photos, I noticed there were NO photos of a drink.  Therefore, I decided to share this Monday before T Tuesday.  Thanks for stopping by.  You can't beat Kathy's wonderful art books.  She offered to give me one, but I declined.  They are beautiful, but not something I would ever collect.
