and it was spectacular!
We had a perfect New Year's eve with good friends, Moggie and Charles. Although they live next door, we just never see them enough! I actually made my first Lobster bisque and it came out perfect. After searching for the perfect recipe, and realizing lobster bisque could be very complicated, I settled on Paula Deen's Creole Shrimp and Lobster Bisque
- simple & divine!
Moggie and I are not only neighbors but kindred spirits as well, as she is an entrepenuer and an artist- she and her daughter Meg own Bead My Love -
a company they created together, out of their love for beading and bead embroidery.
Their creations are exquisite, truly breathtaking works of art!
They travel extensively...attending bead shows and teaching classes throughout the year- quite the dynamic duo and I envy their amibition as well as their talent!
At the end of January they'll be exhibiting at the To Bead True Blue in Tuscon, Arizona, a big event they are very excited about. Visit their website for more info about this talented Mom and daughter team ~ who I'm proud to call 'neighbors'!
We're supposed to be in the 50's today and sunny, I may just be on the tennis courts breaking in my new racket my darling children gave me for Christmas! The perfect start to 2011!!
Cheers!
oh my! What a beautiful sunrise! Thanks for sharing it with my lazy butt that slept in!

What a beautiful sunrise! LOL we were sound asleep as midnight rolled in!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful 2011!
That bisque sounds delicious! We stayed up for the New York ball drop then hit our nice warm bed. My husband was out in about 10 minutes but I watched the Twilight Zone marathon until 11. We're a wild bunch...haha:)

ReplyDeleteHi Paula! Happy New Year to you! What a beautiful way to begin a new year. :) Thanks for sharing it with us lazy butts who stayed in bed til 9am! lol! I also wanted to thank you for sweet comments you left on my blog a couple days ago regarding my clay tags. Yeah, I better get busy selling them. I have to justify making more --- because I'm just itching to get my hands back into that clay! lol! Have a great day! xoxo laurie

Cheers and Happy New Year to you Paula. What a gorgeous sunrise. Unfortunately, I missed it. Little too late of a night the night before so I was sleeping in - actually a rarity for me. Your dinner with friends sounded just perfect. I'm sure your bisque was delish! Paula Deen has the best recipes. I'm anxious to check out your friend's website. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I won your sign over at Kathy's! I'm super-psyched about it! I've wanted one of pieces - any one! - for so long, but just have not splurged on myself yet. Thanks so much!
Gorgeous sunrise...thanks for sharing Paula!!

I so love your sunrise- I didn't see the ball drop, either. Just wanted to hop over and thank you for grabbing Debbie's button!
ReplyDeleteHugs-Tete
Paula - I just wanted to thank you so much for your prayers for Debbie at House at the Lake - and for promoting prayer for her with the button that Tete made that you put on your sidebar. ♥ You're an angel. I know that Debbie is feeling the warm embrace of all the prayers being lifted on her behalf. I'll be keeping everyone updated when I hear something... xoxo laurie
