Monday Inspiration/challenge

Hi, my name is Sue Drees. I have been a customer of Sharon's for a long time (even when she was a traveling road show!!) No one could be happier for her success and appreciate that her fabulous store is in my stamping area! Beginning Monday, July 13th, I will be posting a card or project every Monday. The supplies used and any instructions necessary will be posted on my blog which is linked to Sharon's Blog (Sue's Blog) If you make a card using the challenge theme, leave a comment, with a link to your card if you're able, we would all love to see your creativity. The picture above is a little tease to the card I'll show you Monday.

Just a few more pics...

Isn't this one of the cutest darn puppies!!!!  We met Molly in a cute paper store in Savannah and we fell in love with her!  Mark just played the entire time while I shopped!  Molly was about 7 weeks old here.
This is a picture of St. John the Baptist Church in Savannah.  Just a spectacular church, the photo is not the best.
The next two photos are out of order but anyways we ate lunch one day at the Wilkes House.  Years ago it was a boarding house which Mrs. Wilkes later turned into a restaurant.  We patiently waiting in a line outside for about 45 minutes which was so worth it just by the smells that came out of the kitchen!!!  They seat you in groups of 12 around a round table filled with about 20 different southern favorites.  As you can see it was family style and just like at home after the meal you had to bring your dirty dishes back to the kitchen!  We got to meet and chat with 5 other couples from all over as we ate this great food.  Some of out favorites were Fried Chicken (of course!!!), Meatloaf, cabbage, mashed & sweet potatoes, the cornbread.

More Pics from Savannah

One the best parts of Savannah was the are we stayed in.  Our hotel was located in the historic section so we were able to walk pretty much to the areas that were of interest to us.  The houses in this are were beautiful.  Every block or two the styles of houses would change...each so beautiful.

The city Market was a fun place to hang out at night.  It was 2 blocks of shops and restaurants and my favorite was the Gelato Shop...I still dream of the peach gelato!
Here is a line waiting patiently for lunch at the Wilkes Boarding House.   We decided to join the line and see how good it was...and it was worth the wait. 
Throughout the city there were horse drawn carriage rides.  Mark and I opted to walk after visiting the Sweet Shop for a snack followed by that delicious peach gelato.



This is a picture of the Savannah River taken from the top of our hotel.  It was funny because it was around 70 degrees outside and we decided to use the hot tub.  There were a couple guys having a beer and as they were leaving they said to us that they knew we weren't from around there because it was too cold outside to use a hot tub or pool!   We told them we were from Buffalo and that we would die for these temps in May back home.  

That's it for now...more pics tomorrow...I promise!

Throughout the Historic Section in the city of Savannah are these beautiful park areas, in fact I believe there are 22 now and they are restoring 2 more to others to make it the original 24 when the city was established.  The parks each have statues dedicated to men and women who where either heroes from the Revolutionary War or prominent people in Savannah at the time the parks were developed.  Each park is filled with beautiful trees, flowers and park benches.


Check out the hanging Spanish Moss growing on every tree in Savannah...it looks awesome!
I'll be posting more pictures over the next couple days....keep watching.
