Chris's Dinner Menu Challenge *WINNER*

[emmapaige]

Random winner is Lisa (ScrappyDistractions) and points are awarded to the remaining 27 participants as well.  Thank you to all that joined my challenge!!

Welcome to the Dinner Menu Challenge.
 
If you have not picked your dinner choices, please go here viewtopic.php?f=350&t=261077   and pick your choices.  Please do not look down further in this thread before picking your choices.
 
I’ve included a couple of “twists” to this challenge to make it a little easier.
 
Twist #1: 
Since you are at dinner with a loved one, you may decide you’d rather have what is on someone else’s plate.  You may swap ONE (and only one) of your choices.  For instance you ordered the French Fries (Stars) but decided that you liked the Baked Potato (Twine) better, you may switch the stars for the twine.  But please remember you can only swap one of the courses.  Please list your original choice and then your swapped choice.

Water - Misting or Splatters
Wine -  Mixed Media
Beer – Real or Faux Stitching

I've never thought of that and no one asked the last time I did this, but I'm pretty flexible so that's fine if you do a double page layout for the challenge.

I LOVE my list of items, thanks for indulging us with dessert!! And oh my goodness, I just got a new set of nesting triangle dies.  I used them on a layout this morning........and I can  use them for Deanna's shape challenge.........and I can use them for my "cheese and crackers" LOL  I'm so glad I got them, they arrived just in time! Thanks for the challenge, love your sample!!

Love all the options!  It's going to take me a bit to get it all organized!  Can't wait to get started, but it isn't going to be today, that's for sure!  I am not keeping up too well!
