Portrait by Chuck E Cheese

I spent most of yesterday at our local Chuck E Cheese establishment. I made a quick decision to spend the afternoon here after discovering that the local indoor amusement park was closed. On a Tuesday. That makes no sense to me....and my nephew...who had been planning this outing for weeks. Surprisingly, Chuck E was a great second choice. The highlight for me was letting the computer Chuck sketch us. Getting my nephew to cooperate was no so easy but when the camera finally snapped we were in position and watched old Chuck sketch us and then sign our portrait. Not bad for just one token.
But the studio keeps on humming. New resin bird embellishments now adorn these fabric cards.

And vintage Christmas is getting some glam!

I'm catching your fever. I spent most of Monday with my mom who now doesn't want to participate in any of the "homes" programs, so I said no problem, we'll be contributing some hand crafted cards to the Christmas Bazaar Mother, I stuck a dauber on her finger and she did some backgrounds for me for cards, and then, she complained I make her work too hard. My response, "payback time" We got quite a few sets back. Nothing as glamorous as yours, but o.k. for two old broads. You are truly and inspirations.

Wow! This is a fabulous photo with a great matching of fun and excitement by the two of you. What do they serve at Chuckie's?
Now, what am I going to do with 6 subscriptions. I only ever look at the pictures in a magazine anyway. My postman should be absolutely furious. And no, Leslie, I didn't take any animal magazines. I was tempted to take Aquarium but that would just egg me on to setting up a tank.

Chuck E serves pizza, hot dogs, fries and chicken nuggets. I think I will have my next birthday party there!
