This picture of Jan Spencer sums up the afternoon today for me - A TOTAL BLAST! You have a gorgeous smile, Jan, and I totally enjoyed the afternoon bowling with you and all the members of The TOPICS! In the next lane is Katherine Langner, also known as Kitty Kat!
The TOPICS! met this afternoon at Times Square Entertainment Center for our Gutter Ball Christmas Party! I TOTALLY HAD A BLAST and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon with my stampin' sisters and we may just have to make this an annual event! Below is Elizabeth Hurst, Carolyn Gray, and Marilyn Devereaux-Ruffin. Elizabeth took all of these pictures for me and Carolyn and Marilyn kept score for us all afternoon so we would know who our prize winners are! THANKS, GUYS! That is Pam Davenport in the background.
The team below is Team No. 1 - the Stampin' Strikers - composed of B. J. Alvarez, Kate Osborne, Katherine Langner, and Vicki Myford. Katherine Langner won a prize for our highest score for the afternoon and Vicki Myford won a prize for the lowest score for the afternoon! Actually, I think I had the lowest score for the afternoon, but I was giving out prizes, so she gets the honor of the lowest score! No one cared about the score - we just enjoyed being together and having a fun time!
The team below is Team No. 2 - The Tombow-lers - composed of Pam Davenport, Gail Mikeska, Diane Burns, and Anita Konvicka!
The team below is Team No. 3 - the Gutter Glitter Gals - composed of Vicky Skillman, me, Patsy Ingram, Jan Spencer, and Amy Hansen. Patsy Ingram received a prize for having the most gutter balls of the day! Each member of this team also won some Dazzling Diamonds for having the concession stand girl's favorite team name!
Here's a nice rear-end shot of me in action! I'm sure that resulted in a gutter ball!
The picture below is Jan Spencer, watching with eager anticipation to see if her bowling ball is going to knock down those two remaining pins!
I believe the picture below is Diane Burns in action! Wow! She's about to let that ball rip! I discovered that we have some really good bowlers in our group!
The picture below is Vicki Myford, concentrating VERY hard on getting a strike!
The picture below is Kate Osborne! Kate is a great bowler!
The picture below is Gail Mikeska, who is a good bowler herself!
