Deborah and Clarel ...Wedding Weekend Festivities, Tennis Hall of Fame and The Arabella

Posted by Mariah, Photos by Mariah:

Lucky me! I spent the day after Clarel and Deborah's wedding with the gang, who ended up feeling like old friends by the end of the night. First, I met up with them at the Tennis Hall of Fame for the "Nuptial Cup." A fitting activity considering Deborah and Clarel found each other through their love of tennis. What a beautiful day to be at the Tennis Hall of Fame, which a gorgeous place! C + D were able to play for ten minutes on the grass court in the horse shoe piazza, such a treat!

As if that wasn't enough fun, we finished off the day with a sunset sail on the Arabella with family and friends. A perfect ending to a perfect weekend.

Delightful Challenges - purple, green, and black color challenge!

Hi everyone! It's almost Friday! YAY! And since it's Thursday, that means it's time for a new challenge from Delightful Challenges!  We are sponsored this week by Kut 4 U.  Our challenge is to use the colors purple, green, and black. I threw a few other colors in there, but for the majority of the card, those are definitely my main colors. I used Frankie Ridley along with the haunted house from the Halloween Accessory Set.

The fence is cut with my Cricut Expression from the Paper Dolls cartridge. I honestly can't remember if it was Everyday or Dress Up. See what happens when you use the Gypsy and don't have to dig out all those cartridges anymore? LOL! Anyway, I curved the fence out from the card, so they're attached to the card on both sides, and then curved out through the center of the fence.  Please be sure to visit Delightful Challenges to see what the rest of my talented DT sisters came up with for this challenge. And don't forget to hop over HERE to see the Digital Delights DT have come up with for today as well. Thanks for stopping by to see me today and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

CEiMB - Almond French Toast Bake

Craving Ellie in My Belly is packed full of all things fresh and wonderful. This week Heide of Chez Zero hosted and my husband and I enjoyed every bite of the Blueberry Almond French Toast bake.



I actually baked the breakfast treat for dinner with Breakfast sausage links.





I used 1 1/2 multi-grain whole wheat baguettes. 1 was not enough to cover the bottom of my 9 x 13 dish.

I made several other changes according to several people commenting on the recipe at the Food Network Site (you can find the recipe by clicking on Food Network.)

To keep this from being too moist, I used 6 large eggs and 6 egg whites, cut the milk down to 1 1/2 cups and added 1/2 cup of maple syrup. I also omitted ALL the dark brown sugar; by accident. I was hurrying and totally spaced!

Thank you Heide for another great Ellie recipe choice! I just know Heide will have the recipe posted on her site as well. Go check it out! =)
