Girls Night -Salut to Summer! KB's Wine Tasting Party

Here's my invitation design for the 2008 annual girl's night event.  I'm sad to say my blog has been hampered by a vicious mal ware attack to my pc. I'm just getting back on track.  I've spent way to much time lately on the phone with tech support...  I'm really ready for some fun!  I am the co-host of this event.  My friend's second career is catering and she is doing all of the food for this party.  My job is creating the theme, invites, and wine tasting cards. I also get to oversee the "blind" wine tasting game.  I picked out 2 white wines for the party.  I'm not a white wine drinker.. but the friendly guy at Trader Joe's made these suggestions:  Geyser Peak Sauvignon Blanc and Chateau St. Jean Chardonnay.  The food is Al Fresco Appetizers with an Italian theme such as an antipasto platter, marinated and grilled items, frittata, eggplant rotini and figgy cheese bruschetta. The bonus is that my friend's husband is also a fabulous mandolin player so we might get some live music too! I will blog later about how the party game went and which was the favorite red wine.  For the invite I used an image from one of my favorite books-- the Dover Old Time Travel Posters and Luggage Labels. 

Caribou Iced Coffee Drink in a Waterford tumbler, refreshes KB!

Here's a nice tasting coffe drink that comes from Caribou Coffee company.  I really like both coffee and tea.  Now that the weather is getting sunny here in Northern California it's nice to have a drink over ice. Last year I drank a lot of Starbuck's lite mocha drinks from the bottle. They are heavy and sweet compared to this drink from Caribou Coffee.  This vanilla flavored iced coffee drink is light and tasty.  When I pour it over ice in my Waterford tumbler it makes a fine and delicious treat for my afternoon work day.  We don't Caribou coffee shops arounf here. When I think of Caribou Coffee I think of the Minneapolis airport that I spent many hours in when I worked for Target.  I had some favorite items I would pick up before a flight.  I like their fruit flavored Iced tea and the rice and bean wraps to take on the long flight for a meal.  Here's a link to Caribou Coffee company.  In case you want to try it I found this at Longs drug store.
