Ducks Unlimited

We took a tour today at the Ducks Unlimited. The whole family managed to make it out of the house in time after working out this morning. We ran home and changed clothes then ran, or rather, drove to the Ducks Unlimited building. We watched some videos and a slideshow then headed the to explore the building. We saw all the office space and the print shop. The print shop was really interesting because it smelled like the sweet smell of ink. I love the smell of ink and gasoline. I don't know why, just because. I didn't realize all of the jobs that it takes to make a company! They have an accountant ( two actually), photographer, tour guides, publishers, web designers, & all sorts of office personel. At the end, they had free t-shirts and duck whistles that each of us recieved. The only thing is, they only had sizes large and up. So, each of us got a large which doesn't work so well. What we're thinking is that we should take it in a little on both sides. That way it has sort of a tunic effect. We can't with these specific shirts, but with others that don't have an emblem on the back, you can put a tie in the middle and make a tunic, considering we already have the oversized sleeves. Yesterday and today I took pictures of butterflies. They're tricky to catch, but I think I got a good one. Tomorrow, I'm going with Rachel to the Botanical Gardens. After that, we're making a trip to CiCi's. What could be better?!? I never get tired of pizza. sourpatch

Pizza

We had frozen pizzas tonight for dinner. We had Red Baron and a Wal-Mart pizza. The Wal-Mart pizzas are really good; they don't skip any toppings! Digornio pizzas top them all though!! Just thought I'd update you. Also, Rachel got some lovely blue flower fabric at Hancocks for the back of her quilt. Hopefully, she'll post a picture of it, or maybe I'll have to do it.... sourpatch

Sewing Workshop

So we had the sewing workshop the other day. It went well, I guess. We were there for 5 hours total. My teddy bear's nose looks a little derranged. It was a great experience to sew this thing. I have never sewn anything more complicated in my life! I had to follow the pattern *_*. We also had pizza from CiCi's!! Yay! I can't even describe how much I love pizza! Anyway, I joked, and talked, and basically just hung out with friends. I did get a little sewing done though! I promise! My teddy bear doesn't look anything like the one in the picture. Mine looks like a bear out of Little House on the Prairie. Maybe a little more ugly. Ok, gotta high tail it out a here... :) sourpatch ^_^
