Friday Night Surprise

It was a wonderful friday night. I enjoyed a delicious gourmet pizza from my town's local place and then enjoyed a 4 buck movie at the historic theater just down the block. I love my town, and summertime is always a great example of why. Our historic town square hasn't turned into the tourist destination that so many other "quaint" places have fallen victim to. Instead, it has remained a vibrant place for locals to gather together as a community. In addition to the hopping pizza business that was going on, and the crowd of people that showed up for the movie, the town square was filled with people lounging about for the friday night summertime tradition: free concerts in the park. Center around the town's gazebo, listeners gather on blankets and lawn chairs to relax, enjoy, and most likely run into a neighbor or two. This year, the town has added a new feature to create even more activity: Friday Night Farmer's Market. Now you can shop for some goodies to enjoy while you listen to the music! Walking back to our cars after the movie, my family soaked in the ambience of some of what makes my hometown a great place.

We may now technically be a "city" by population standards, but at our heart, we will always be the small town I grew up and love.

But my evening did not end there! My friday night surprise was not how great my town is, since I already knew this, but the message that was waiting for me when I returned home. I was notified of recieving a wonderful honor. I was chosen to recieve the "One Lovely Blog Award". Not sure what that is? Neither was I. Stay tuned for my next post to find out what it is all about, and what great bloggers nominated me for the award!

BdoodleZ gets a little more style!

I know its been a while, too long, since I have had anything BdoodleZ updates. No, I did not drop off the face of the earth! Rather, I've been busy, resting, relaxing, and remodeling! First there was a little family vacation, that took me too sunny, but not so warm California. It was the break I needed, and a great escape from all the stresses of every day life. Since returning, I have been busy as a bee, remodeling our home office a.k.a "BdoodleZ Headquarters".

When the hubby and I moved into our current home a little over 2 years ago, we knew it was a fixer upper, we just never expected how long all the fixing up would take. After working out of a half finished office, we finally decided to take the time to finish it up, not such a quick task when you are doing all the work yourself (with a little aid of my good ole dad too). With boxes and containers of cards, paper, and envelopes piled into the dining room, BdoodleZ was a little out of sorts. Now, with the new office, I am committed to slimming down a little. Which is good news for BdoodleZ fans, as I will be putting many of my great card designs on SALE to clear out the over stock.

Look for the sales items to start arriving this week at www.bdoodlez.etsy.com

And thanks to all those who have helped make BdoodleZ a great success :)
