if not now...when?

moving on up...

been working on a little project for a while now, and i am so happy to announce that i've made a big move!

 

welcome to suburban crafty !

i've been working hard at getting it all together, and coming from someone who doesn't know HTML from CSS, it's been a challenge! but i think it's coming together! definitely a work in progress. still, i didn't want to keep posting over here when i have such a nice new home. i hope you'll come visit!

unfortunately, this blog will be taken down within a few weeks, so any links or subscriptions that you might have will no longer work. lucky for me, wordpress makes migrating blogs very, very simple, so all of my years of posts and PICTURES (yay!!) from here are now nestled snug in their beds in our new home.

fun times with OC bloggers at the matador cantina!

i made it to my first oc blogcrush meetup/networking/eating and merriment event this last week. we were hosted by the amazing matador cantina in historic downtown fullerton. i'm so glad i made it - we had a great time!

first of all, when did downtown fullerton get to be so cool? seriously - i went to csuf back in the early 90's and i don't remember a single interesting thing to do up there. but NOW - downtown fullerton is a pretty cool and happening place! tons of restaurants and shopping, all gentrified and revitalized. they have a nighttime farmer's market that is over for the winter, but will definitely be going on my calendar for spring!

our get-togther was hosted by the fine folks over at the matador cantina. really, i could go on and on about the amazing food here. the chile rellenos, the queso fundido, the cantina rolls. but just take a gander at some of the offerings you can find up there.

i think this is one of those times where a picture tells the story better that any words can. the guacamole was amazing. they had a pumpkin cake dessert (seasonal) that was out of this world (and i am a BiG pumpkin fan, so that says a lot). their margaritas were voted the best in OC by the readers of OC weekly magazine. so really, the trip for us south counteans up to fullerton - worth it in my opinion. a great date, a fun girls night out.  AND since it is in the old historic section of fullerton the building itself is actually pretty cool, too.

thanks again to the matador for your food and your hospitality! i know i'll be back SOON!

and oc bloggers - make sure that you sign up at BlogCrush over at facebook so that YOU can come to the next fabulous meetup. it's a great way to meet new blogging friends like suzanne, marcy, priscilla, dawn, lisa, and so many others. i had a great time making some new friends, and i can't wait until the next blogcrush get together! :)

oh, and 

GO ANGELS!!!!
