Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Linking up again with Ashley for another week of Scavenger Hunt Sunday

1. Hidden - I was at a clay shoot for work on Friday, (shooting photos not guns) and took a photo of one of the stands. People "hide" up there to shoot 

2. Plain - This is self explanatory - plain greek yogurt, I use this in my smoothies, yum!

3. Left - This is one from Kristen and Chris' engagement session, left aligned and the ring is on the left hand

4. Fast - Also self explanatory, a car tire - they move fast

5. Peace - The sky was so gorgeous and peaceful during this sunset

Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Happies & Crappies

Linking up again this week for Happies and Crappies

Happies...

No surgery {as of right now} on my shoulder, there is still a slight tear there but doing PT to work on a fix

I do not have to go into the office today instead I am photographing our annual Clay Shoot

The weather is supposed to be gorgeous all weekend

Soccer game and time with friends on Saturday and Super Bowl on Sunday

Loving my new nail color, I bought this a long time ago and forgot I had it! Essie's Go Overboard

 

Crappies...

Hubs could not get off work Monday so our trip to New Orleans was a no go

Even though there is nothing huge wrong with my shoulder it still hurts

I ate the last of the ice-cream

I am still not prepared for the bridal show I am going to in 3 weeks...eeek!

Saw it, Pinned it, Did it

Help Me. I’m Poor!

You have been living under a rock if you do not know what this line is from.

Only one of the most epic wedding movies ever.

My co-worker’s and I reference this line multiple times a week and one actually sent me this photo that the line had been screened onto a tee shirt. She also informed me that it was $28.

What poor girl can afford that for a shirt?

So in the spirit of her birthday that was last week I went to the good ol Hob Lob and picked up some iron-on letters and a tee.

FYI. I did not iron on the apostrophe backwards..

Total cost: $10
Result: Best gift ever.

Wine-O

I like my wine just as much as the next person but I also do not like paying high dollars for my bottles. 

If you like bubbly this is one of my absolute favorites and my go-to for bubbly - I drink it alone or mixed with OJ for a delish mimosa.  A bottle is around $13 which is worth it in my eyes.

 La Marca Prosecco

For something a little sweeter hubs and I love Martini and Rossi Asti. This bottle has all the bubble and not the dryness. Hubs like sweeter wines so this is the perfect medium for us. This bottle retails around $12

and hey If I am making some frozen or not so frozen mimosas, the $6 bottle of Andre works perfectly, or if you want to feel a little fancier but do not want to pay the price Jaume Serra Cristalino makes you think you are drinking Cristal...we will call it the knock off version which also retails for about $6 a bottle. Can't afford Cristal so I went with the Cristalino!

Whites...and not so bubbly

I do not favor Sauvignons over Pinot Grigios over Moscatos  - I do not play favorites, I am an equal opportunist when it comes to wine. I do play favorites when it comes to taste - no dryness please. These are my favorites - at bargain prices which is even better.

Nobilo - Sauvignon Blanc - retails for $9 to $13. Has a hint of pineapple and grapefruit - YUM!

Casal Garcia is my favorite bargain buy at around $6 to $9 (Serve very cold, or if you can't wait throw some cubes in, no judging here!)  This is the perfect little glass of fun on a hot day...or any day

I discovered this bottle at a wine tasting at a friends and was a staple in our fridge for awhile. Starborough Sauvignon Blanc - it has a tropical fruit taste. So pick this bottle up for about $9 pour a glass and pretend you are on the beach.

I am not the biggest fan of reds, but I have come across a couple recently that I have really enjoyed. These are not dry, like I mentioned before I don't care for dry, only if I am making sangria.

Cummins Road - Pinot Noir - This one is a tad pricier - around $18 to $22 but great to pick up as a gift.

 The Chateau St. Jean 2010 is my recent favorite that has gotten me into liking reds. This Merlot retails for around $10. Flavors of blackberry and chocolate? Yes please.

Yellow Tail is a great go to - I have tried most of these and not been disappointed. They retail for around $5 to $7 and gets the job done

Menage A Trois is another budget friendly wine that retails for around $10 to $12

If you are feeling particularly fancy then I would pick up some Two Buck Chuck at Trader's Joes. We just got one in the area so I had to pick up a few bottles. Retails for $2.99 - great on the wallet!

There are a few others that I did not add, but what are some of your favorites? Cheers!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

It has been a LONG time since I have done a Scavenger Hunt Sunday with Ashley - I really want to try and get back into these, since photography has taken off I have not taken the time to appreciate the little random things in life that we photograph  - so let the creative juices flow and take a look at my interpretation of the prompts.

1. Lace - Ok so this is not really lace, but burlap has a "lacy feel" to it right? Well it does in my book

 2. Bling - This is my favorite necklace, hubs got it for me last Christmas  - I love, love, love it

 

3.  Wood - This is the fence in our back yard, we have horse shoes back there and apparently this is where they are stored

4. Fuzzy - My fuzzy and warm Uggs!

5. Felt - This is part of Bentley's Christmas stocking...some, ok most of the decorations may still be up...don't judge!

I really hope to be back next week, although we may be in New Orleans for Super Bowl weekend..have a great week!!
