Danielle, my oldest, flies all over the world with her job. Lauren, on the other hand is always busy with my 3 sweet Granddaughters. It was a wonderful change of pace on Mothers Day Saturday as Lauren put together a outing for all of us a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Painted-Plate-Olympia/197307478707?fref=ts&rf=168104653266839" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: purple;">Paint a Plate in Olympia</span></b></a>. I have never been there and really didn't know the business existed. Paint a Plate offers hundreds of Ceramic Items to be painted by you, then they fire and glaze the pieces. Pick up time of your Treasures is about 5 days after the painting is completed. Needless to say I got to paint with my Granddaughters~</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Johanna, 5, chose a Trinket Box for my Nightstand to put my Jewelry in. You are given a Palate of Paint colors that are numbered and the corresponding numbered Paint Bottles sit in the wire basket on the Table. You put a few drops of your chosen color(s) on a tile coaster and paint your piece from there</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;">Welcome Friends to Day 2 of our </span><b><i>"Wicked Black Cat Crossing"</i></b><span style="color: purple;"> Blog Hop!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;">Our Annual </span><b><i>"Wicked"</i></b><span style="color: purple;"> Blog Hop this year is Sponsored by <b><i><a href="http://www.maywoodstudio.com/" target="_blank">Maywood Studios</a></i></b> and their <b><i><a href="http://www.eeschenck.com/default.asp?SuperStore=348&s=348" target="_blank">"Black Cat Crossing" Collection</a></i></b>. <b><i>Thank~You Maywood Studios</i></b></span></span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> A Grand Thanks to </span><i style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Madame Samm</i><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> of </span><b style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><a href="http://www.sewwequilt.com/" target="_blank">Sew We Quilt</a></i></b><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, the impeccable Genius behind our Hop.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was elated when I saw the "Black Cat Crossing" Collection on Madame Samm's Blog, I saw some colors that were perfect for a very Special Gift that could be used all year long in my Family Room or Living Room. This Special Gift is for my Hubby who celebrates a Birthday every year on Halloween!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A little background before we start. My Husband is the Perfect Gentleman, full of Humor that makes me laugh and very quick witted. After 5 months of trying to make a date<span style="font-size: xx-small;">(many years ago)</span> as our after work lives were full of commitments, finally the day came and I have to say by this time we knew each other quite well. After opening the car door for me, and strapping in my seat belt, Nick said "<i>All set Miss Kitty?</i>" I replied "<i>Well yes Chester, Thank~you"</i>. Hence, as you will see below "Chester's" Black Cat Crossing Quilt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Out of the Collection I chose all of the Black and Tan Fabric Designs and the Panel too. I did design this Quilt with one I saw on the <b><i><a href="http://fatquartershop.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Fat Quarter Shop Blog</a></i></b>, I believe it was called Fat Quarter Fizz. One day I will make one just like theirs but since i wanted to include the Panel here and Borders, I did keep theirs in mind when designing mine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With the help from <i>Madame Samm and Gmama Jane of <a href="http://grandmamasstories.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Grandmama's Stories</a>, </i>I was able to add an embroidered Border at the top and Bottom of the Quilt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In Black Presencia Thread I embroidered "Chester, How do I <i>Love</i> thee, Let us</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Count my <i>Wicked</i> ways. Miss Kitty"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I typed this saying out in Word, made it Bold and printed it out. Then I just taped it to my cutting mat and laid my Fabric strips over the top, taped them down too, and traced the words with my Frixon Pen. Very easy! I used the basic Stem Stitch on all the Lettering.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also embroidered the Center Panel,</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am an avid crocheter with specialty fibers only purchased at yarn Boutiques. For the past 4 years I have been buying my Wools, Mohairs, and Merino's from a Shop here in Shelton, WA. <a href="http://www.fancyimageyarn.com/" target="_blank"><i>Fancy Image Yarn</i></a> owner Myra Garcia just does a Gorgeous job with color.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Quilt is lined with Pellon 80/20 Natural Touch and backed with a very Plush Jet Black Throw I picked up at Tuesday Morning. I was worried about it being to slippery to quilt with, but it sewed up beautifully. Hint: when using fabric very plush like this, cut off all the hemming just before binding, or you will have bits everywhere. Thank heavens I knew before hand to do this.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">a wonderful <i>Fabric Collection</i> from <b><i><a href="http://www.studioefabrics.com/shop/category/fabrics/shipping-now/rush-hour/" target="_blank">Studio E</a></i></b>, a Great Blog Hop theme and vision from <i>Madame Samm</i> of <b><i><a href="http://sewwequilt.com/">SewWeQuilt.com</a></i></b>, and our fearless Organizer and Cheerleader extraordinaire <i>Carol</i> of <b><i><a href="http://justletmequilt.com/">JustLetMeQuilt.com</a></i></b>, a warm Heart Thank~You to all of you!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These days in our home just about the only thing we Rush for are for our Children and our Precious Granddaughters, and Granddaughter Number 3 will be arriving in February!! *Big Smile*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is nothing I enjoy more than helping out my daughter with her Girls and spending time with them is true Bliss!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With Number 3 on the way we realized we would be needed more this Winter helping out with Johanna 4, and Audra 2. With School delivery and pick up, picking them up to give Mommy and Daddy some much anticipated Quiet time, what ever the case may be transportation would no less be involved. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thus <b><i>Rush Hour Bliss</i></b> evolved.......</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A great piece of Red & White numbered Fabric from Studio E's Rush Hour Collection as a Focal Point, surrounded by Fabric from the Bliss Collection in the remaining required fabrics Black, White, and Greys. Would become a Cozy Car Quilt for each with a Fun Matching Pillow.</span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Both Quilts would be the same with one simple Block Change to make them a little different.

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Until Madame Samm announced this Blog Hop, I was Gardening Away with a New Potting Bench my hubby built me for Mothers Day. Planting Perennials around the New House that will be with us in years to come(<a href="http://coeurdalenegifts.blogspot.com/2014/07/early-summer-bloomshosted-by-daisy-bunny.html" target="_blank">Blog Post</a>), and for our Veggie Garden this year, I did 85% of it in containers(<a href="http://coeurdalenegifts.blogspot.com/2014/07/summer-container-gardening-in-pnw.html" target="_blank">Blog Post</a>) and it hasn't affected the yield at all. In between that it was crocheting and spending cherished countless hours with my Granddaughters.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While Pondering what to do for the Hop, I was introduced to <a href="http://www.massdrop.com/" target="_blank">Massdrop</a>. Massdrop offers various items at a reduced price depending on the number of committed buyers they have for a offered Product. This is where I found <i>Stitching Designer</i>, <b><i>Nancy Nicholson</i></b>. I picked up her Teapot Design,</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Her kits come complete, even in a Fabric Bag that you can also embroider. When I saw this I thought 'What have I gotten myself into'! As you can see though the top and bottom of the design has symbols for all the stitches in the design. Pretty Cool. I did contact Nancy once through her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/NancyNicholsonDesign" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a> as I didn't receive a color card with all the thread I received in the Kit. She responded with be creative or follow the picture card. I could do that.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is what I finished with, it is currently being framed as it will be a Christmas Gift. So I folded back the sides to give you a pretty good idea.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next up was my Kitchen Window, it needed a New Valance. The one that came with the house was plain white. I have White walls and I wanted Aqua/Teal in the Kitchen with the White. Several Months back I had ordered a Aqua/Teal Ticking for the Valance, and a coordinating Aqua/Teal Toile for the eating area(project for another time). Fabric was all cut and I was going to hand sew it when I received a call that I had won a <i>New Sewing Machine</i>(<a href="http://coeurdalenegifts.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-slip-of-paper-new-door.html" target="_blank">Blog Post</a>). Lots of Happy Dancing and Happy Tears were flowing here.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a 72" wide Window, and I added a Front Rod Pocket of a 4" Dark Tan Dupioni Sash that I had in my stash of Trims. I had to double layer the pocket so the Rod wouldn't show through, but then that added another benefit to the look</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You see the Dupioni sash was wired so once hung I just pulled the two layers apart for another Ruffled look.</span></div>

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When I lived in Florida, every Spring my friends(that sewed) and I were all gather up on a Tour Bus and head to the Lakeland Convention Center for the Sewing/Quilting Expo and spend the day. If you have never attended one in your State and you love to Sew, this is a must attend Event! It is just full of Wonderful Vendors, showing the latest and greatest in Machines, Fabrics, Quilting Designs, Embroidery, Needlepoint, Notions, Patterns, Patterns, Books, Shows, Classes, etc. The Expo is usually a 4 day Event. Every year we looked forwarded to attending.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This past Winter, now living in WA State I got to thinking about the Expo and had to google online, When...Where. Found it! Not too far up the road from where I live. Immediately I signed up for their Newsletter to keep up for when Tickets to go on Sale. The time came and I bought my Daughter and I each a ticket. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was a loooong 2 month wait from when I received the Tickets to the day we went. The Show here in Pullyalop, WA was everything the Florida Show had been, and we had so much fun! Looking at Quilt Patterns for Lauren's Bed, buying Fabric for little Girls Dresses and filling out pieces of Paper for Give Aways the Independent Vendors were having for Items that Interested us. It was fun filled day I was happy to share with my Daughter at her first Sewing/Quilting Expo.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Last month, I received a Voicemail Message from a lady at <a href="http://www.martellinotions.com/" target="_blank"><i><b>Martelli Notions</b></i></a>. Her message, I had won a <i>New Sewing Machine</i>! The questions were literally swirling in my head, from was this for real, to from where. I returned her call, and basically went Numb with excitement! After the call I couldn't even remember what type of Machine I had won. Once reality hit, I cried. You see, I lost my machine in 2007 when our home burnt to the ground. There was so much to replace that took priority, that my Machine was really at the bottom of the list. After awhile of saving up for a new one, something serious would come about and the funds were needed elsewhere. I closed the Door of ever having another Machine of my own. My love of sewing dwindled as it became harder and harder to find a decent Machine to rent for a project. Buying a used one was out of the question as the Service call to bring the Machine up to date almost matched the cost of a New Machine. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Two weeks ago my <b><i>Gorgeous Janome Magnolia 7360 Machine</i></b> arrived,(yep, more tears) but I had left my camera in CA where I had just returned from a Family Funeral. So now today my Camera arrived and here is what I told you about a few posts ago that I had won~</span></span></div>

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Isn't she Beautiful! for the first 2 days I just stared at her, and read the Manual. My hubby is off on a trip so this is his first time seeing her too! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How so very grateful I am to the one from <a href="http://www.martellinotions.com/" target="_blank"><i><b>Martelli Notions</b></i></a> whose hand pulled my name from the Drawing Box, <i><b>Valerie Webster</b></i> from <a href="http://www.martellinotions.com/" target="_blank"><i><b>Martelli Notions.</b></i></a> Remember those great <i>Fussy Cut Templates</i> and the <i>Ergo Cutter</i> I showed you, they were a gift from Valerie as well. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I just can't say <b>Thank~you</b> enough for the Thoughtfulness and Generosity of this Give Away. A New Door has opened in my life and I am eternally Grateful! An Angel with Golden Wings picked my name........</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now I can sew again with out the Stress of finding a Machine to use, I can participate in Blog Hops, and fill my online Shops with Items my Customers like, and fill my Home and my Children's Homes with Quilts, and sew for my Charity, Enchanted Makeovers. I am sew very Blessed! </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Definitely some RBD Gingham(requirement for FUN).....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">One thing I can Guarantee is that all this Fabric will be cut with a very Special Gift I received from <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><b><a href="http://www.martellinotions.com/" target="_blank">Martelli Notions</a></b></span></span>, as part of a Drawing I entered in the Spring at the <i>Original Sewing & Quilting Expo</i> held here in WA. I will tell you about the Major Give Away from them in another post. But I have to tell you <i><b><a href="http://www.martellicatalog.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=MC&Category_Code=RC" target="_blank">Martelli's ErgoCutter</a></b></i> is the BEST Rotary Cutter out there!! In this very generous package was also a set of Replacement Blades and the nicest (heavy too) <i><b><a href="http://www.martellicatalog.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MC&Product_Code=BLK-04-S-W&Category_Code=BLK" target="_blank">Fussy Cut Templates</a>!</b></i> Using the Ergo Cutter is like slicing Butter and it will cut up to 40 pieces of Fabric at once!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In my humble opinion <i><b>every</b></i> Seamstress/Quilter needs to have this <i><b>ErgoCutter</b></i>, and it comes in a Right Handed and Left Handed Model.

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Last year we moved into our Home right before planting Season. As we bought the house during the Winter months, other than the Foliage and 4 Apple Trees I had no idea what the previous Owner had planted here. So I took a guess and planted a small Garden of Tomatoes, Peppers, Peas, and Beans in a patch below my Kitchen Window, and put a Herb Garden in Pots. Come to find out that area was just the Best! This year I wanted to plant our usual Garden prior to this house, so I did it....in Containers. I thought I would grab a few shots since we had to move all the Patio stuff to one area so that my Newly built Potter's Bench made by hubby could be moved from the Garage to it's Permanent Location.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I found this Charming Swing at a Re Sale Barn. It's one of my favorite Spots to Shop, the Owner buys at Storage Auctions and does Estate Sales. We brought our White Iron Set from Florida, however as you can see I am re doing the Seats. Even out here in the wet North West we still have to set the Sprinkler System for 4 times a week per the County Schedule. I like Lush Green Grass so I do fill in with a little Sprinkler now and then. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After I packed them up, I felt they still needed a little something more so I embellished a couple of Wands, that I think I picked up at Michael's awhile back. Now they looked complete, so off I went to deliver them.</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Did you do any Swaps for the Valentine's Day Holiday? Over at <a href="http://etsycottagestyle.ning.com/" target="_blank"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">Etsy Cottage Style</span></i></b></a> Debbi started a "Sweet Heart Swap". My partner Linda R. in Canada, she also has 2 cute Etsy Shops! <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/cranberrycottage52" target="_blank"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">Cranberry Cottage</span></i></b></a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/weebeginnings56" target="_blank"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">Wee Beginnings</span></i></b></a> I like doing Swaps when I have the time because I love doing all the detail that goes into the presentation and gifts. At least that's my style. I'll share what I sent to Linda, and when I receive her box I'll share it too. I know it's late but Linda has quite a job that keeps her on the Road about 7 days out of 7 ;)</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's the lot of loot, all of it fit into the Red and White Box except for the Heart Wall Hanging I made, and the Gorgeous Hand Painted White Plate I bought for Linda from Celestina of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/CelestinaMarieDesign" target="_blank"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">Celestina Marie Designs</span></i></b></a> on Etsy. Celestina does such gorgeous work, and to me has the perfect Blog! Both of these pieces went into separate gift boxes.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I included of course Chocolates, Several types of Vintage Linens, Cards I printed off (bought from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/cameoshoppe" target="_blank"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">Cameoshoppe</span></i></b></a> on Etsy) and wrapped with Seam Binding, Ceramic Eyelet Candleholders, Ceramic Hug Bear, Swarovski Heart Key Ring, Novelty Pin and Earrings that I embellished, Valentines day Jelly Bellies in a jar I embellished, <a href="http://www.coeurdalenegifts.com/items/rose_scented_5_watt_bulb.aspx" target="_blank"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">Rose Scented Candylight 5W Bulb</span></i></b></a>.......</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here you can see a better shot of the Hand painted plate from Celeste(gotta love those Roses), a crocheted Basket in the background to fill with the crocheted Heart fillers by Moi, some Digital Cards and Tags, Lace bag of Dove Chocolates. Linda's house is decorated in shades of Pink and Sage, so I tried to stay with those colors.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made this painted Canvas Wall Hanging with assorted embellished Hearts. On my Monitor the background on the Canvas looks Aqua, but it's not. It's Sage. This was fun and I have a few more in progress in different themes by request.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's the Box all packed up! I picked up the Box minus the Fairy from Michael's. I can't remember where I found the Fairy Graphic but my hubby carefully cut off all the background she was on and I embellished her with various Martha Stewart Glittters(hers are the very best, in my humble opinion). I used Mod Podge to adhere her to the top of the box and added a Vintage Dangling Rhinestone Earring to the end of her wand for a little bling.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you all had a Wonderful Valentine's Day!!</span><br />

I needed a big diversion and recently Mr. CDA and I had wondered over to our closest Casino, 9 miles away. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I was on my way for an afternoon at the Slots! I went directly to the Players club to have my card swiped to get in on the Big drawings of the day and wandered over to my favorite slot machine. Bummer someone else was there, so I headed to the back of the Casino to look for something else that caught my eye. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a instant I heard my name being called over the Casino Speaker to return to the Players Club, "you have 2 minutes" was her second sentence. Oh crap in the huge maze of games I had to figure a way back up to the front in 2 minutes. Just as I was approaching I heard my name again, and waved my arm, "I'm coming, I'm right here" I shouted. There was a crowd around the lady with the microphone, my mind was just rushing 'what is this all about'!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>I had WON!</i></b> <i>A Suite Box to the Seahawks at Century Link Field!</i> OMG, my husband was going to flip! <i>Plus, now I had to tell him where I spent the afternoon! </i> After signing all the necessary paperwork, taxes and all I was on my way. Then I had to fight the crowd of folks who wanted to buy the Suite from me, No Way! This was our Introduction to Washington Football, in a especially 'suite' way~</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here we are, Seahawks playing the SF 49's. We didn't know what to expect never having been in a Suite Box before so I was loaded down with warm clothes. But it was all glass enclosed and toasty warm. Our box was right in the middle of the field, perfect!</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As we waited for our beloved Seahawks to take the field we lavished upon hot & cold Appetizers, Beverages, and Drinks</span>.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Smoke flows from the towers as the Seahawks take the field~</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was amazing how fast this flag was rolled out to full form, and it was rolled up just as fast, pure precision~</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And it's Kick~Off! Remember the Game for the Loudest Team? This was it hitting 137.9 on the scale. Prior to half time we were brought in Dinner, various hot meats, poultry, Shrimp and fish. Salads, Rolls, etc. Then the most decadent 3 tiered Dessert Cart arrived, I was so excited about this cart I forgot to take a picture. Heck this whole day was exciting! and our Seahawks Won!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After this event we were addicted to our beloved Seahawks, and we saw them work hard every game to get to where they are today! Our Blessings to them for a Safe & Successful Super Bowl Game!</span><br />
