Another photo this week from our sons visit, the last night of any family visit always has to be Paella, cooked by Steve, he is a brilliant chef and his paella’s are amazing. Our Grandson even had some this time.
Giant Prawns, Mussels, Clams and Lemons picked straight from our Garden
As you can see our family really love Dad's Paella!!
I even managed to get the drink into the picture this week. I think they say you should drink White wine with fish but they only drink Rioja, at 3.65 Euros a bottle who could resist!!
I've been busy with a couple of challenges on SCS this last week and got carried away with using my Treasure Gold gilding Wax, I ended up making three cards in the end, this is one for a friends Birthday next month, funnily I've had this embossing folder more or less since I started crafting but have used it more recently than I've done in all those years, the same goes for the gilding Wax.
I'm still re grouting! Now outside in the BBQ area, the brick effect tiles needed doing so that was my job today and yesterday. no wonder my nails have shot it, a visit to the nail bar I think when I've finished.
The weather here has been mixed, warm and sunny and then the odd shower, last evening the sun was still out and we had a quick downpour, strange weather for April around here but it's 20c already so I won't complain too much.
Have a great week and Happy T Day

That Paella is pushing me over the edge - I want some. I need some - now! Great card, too. Happy T Day, off to find something to eat....hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteGood morning I have never had paella-but wow it looks sooo delcious-I want some too!! I have watched chefs cook this up on the tv and just looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteNice to get that grouting done I have a bit of that to do at the new lake house.
we are having gorgeous weather here this week but will crash back down on thursday through the weekend with freeze at night-not good as many trees are now blooming
Happy T hugs Kathy
yum-that paella looks SO good!! It's been awhile since I've had it.And I'd enjoy the rioja with it too:) Beautiful texture on the card. I only have a few embossing folders and haven't used them in quite awhile...happy T day!
ReplyDeleteOh, that paella looks amazing! Wonderful card you made. I've done gilding with gold leaf, but have never heard of gilding wax. I'm going to go look that up. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteWow, your paella looks amazing - so yummy 😁. The rioja sounds good too and the embossing on the card with the gilding wax looks amazing! Wishing you a happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteoh, good that i already had dinner;)
ReplyDeletewonderful b-day card! happy t-day!
Who needs people telling you what to drink with what? Not us! My mouth is watering here :) That definitely looks tasty!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting the grout work done. At least that's a job that's stay done for a while.
Happy T Tuesday
That's a lovely birthday card, Jan. I've never heard of gilding wax before, but it turned out beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI want some of your homemade paella, too. It certainly looks impressive and looks even better with lemons from your tree. Since I'm not a drinker, to me, wine is wine (sorry I know so little about it)! It sounds like a good price, though and I support ANY drink you show and share with us. Thanks for sharing your card and your paella and wine with us for T this Tuesday, Jan.
Lovely card and the food looks delicious. Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteI have never had paella but if that is seafood, it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnd your card is so pretty with that textured background and the black and pink. Beautiful!
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Your paella looks really delicious and it must have been a super family meal.
ReplyDeleteThe embossed and gilded card looks really beautiful,
Happy T day wishes Jan

Yes, that paella looks amazing! I never tire of eating paella, especially as it gets cooked when there are gatherings. It is a 'special occasion' dish. Sometimes for 6 or 7, sometimes for hundreds of people. I must admit, i have never made it myself because we always have friends who can cook it much better than i could. So kudos to Steve!
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely A very useful embossing folder to have.
Here on the Altoplano the weather is pants. It is cold (below 10 degrees C), there is a storm raging and we are having on and off rain. God knows we need the rain though. I just wrap up and light the fire.
Hugs,
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Oh that looks delicious! I have never had paella because they feed so many people and my husband is such a picky eater. But now I really want to try it. Sorry I am late for T day, but I hope it was a good one. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThis paella may have been Delicious Jan !! I eat paella every week, and we love it, and with a good Rioja, much better ! Bravo for the Chef !
ReplyDeleteThis card is Amazing !! really Gorgeous, the background is wonderful, the colours and every detail, and the embossing folder is lovely. Great !
Very Happy belated T-day ! (sorry I ´m a little bit late )
I wish you a very nice Thursday,
Big hugs, Caty
