I think the reason it got stuck was because I had a furry little girl helping me open the package. She was sitting on the bottom of the envelope holding it down for me. Guess she thought it was going to fly away. :)

I think Elle did a GREAT job with her surprise.
Now I have to figure out HOW to keep that shawl away from Courtney. She is also invited to this hoity toity thing and she has informed me that she is wearing her black halter dress and says the shawl will look fabulous with it. I'm thinking I need to keep that child in Hawaii. lol

Instead of a black dress- how about a pink or red to pick up the shades of the roses in the shawl?

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

(And Bill's outfit sounds like you need to run your hands all over the suit with him in it. I love to feel nice fabric.)

I hadn't heard of Tapas before that but last Christmas gave him a Tapas recipe book. Family still teases me about it! http://www.tapas-recipes.com/

I did laugh when I saw your post. I was telling Terri how Tapas came about. It started in a Bar somewhere when the barman put a slice of bread on top of the glass to stop the flies taking a swim. Tapa means lid in english. Then it just progressed. Now a Tapa comes in various sizes racion or half racion. Half racion is just a small plate about the size of a saucer with maybe 6 prawns and a slice of bread, or red roasted peppers with oil and garlic. Love them they are just so tasty. Usually when we go out we have 6 different tapas and a basket of bread, makes a lovely snack.

By the way they are no longer free in this area. but relatively cheap about 1 euro a 1/2 racion each but we have found a little bar that sells them for 0.60 cents-
