I had a wonderfully fun weekend! On Saturday morning I woke up to find that there was a trunk show of B-Line Designs rubber stamps at a nearby stamp store!!!!! I called Jane up and demanded that she drop everything and go with me as I love their stamps! Well, after seeing three tables full of their stamps and many amazing card samples, they are now hands down my favorite stamp company of all time!!!! We just stood in front of the display with mouths agape in disbelief at the sheer beauty of these stamps!!!! I was actually about to hyperventilate at one point as I was so in love with the images. After picking out a few of our favorites it was back to reality......Or should I say back to the regularly scheduled portion of the day.........Mike read an article in a magazine that said that the best french fries in Chicago were at a place called Susie's Drive-In in the neighborhood where he grew up.
So, he and I took a drive into Chicago for French fries! They were great, especially when consumed with a hot dog and a banana-Oreo milkshake!!!! Woohoo!!!Prior to our French Fry extravaganza Mike and I went to two bookstores and a magazine store where they have every magazine known to man!!! I ended up with several new books! It was a really great day....I daresay a "toot" was definitely had!!!!
