After many years of just buying thousands of dollars worth of scrapbooking supplies, I have decided to sell it finally!  I am so excited.  Now I am able to share my passion with everyone else.  Not that I didn't before, now I just am able to help them with their passion! 

I joined Creative Memories in September and I have already held two big events.  One was the annual CroptoberFest that Creative Memories holds each fall, and the other was a Kids Card Making Class.  Both events were so much fun. 

The next big thing for me will be my first Crop!  I will be having it on Nov 22, and I am excited to see how many people will come. 

After that, I will have my first annual Open House.  I will be showing all the new items that are available for holiday gifts and a surprise bonus of a preview of the new Valentines Day products.  They are so beautiful!

My website is updated weekly with the new specials and the new products.  www.mycmsite.com/theresacorbe 

This is going to be a great new venture for me.  I can't wait for it all to start coming together for me!  Wish me luck!!

This weekend, I got my copy of the Sandhills Kids new book!  It is GREAT.  I could not wait to look through it (and to find my name in it!).  It has even more stuff in it then I thought would be there!

You guys did such a GREAT job on it.  I am so proud of you and thrilled that you are showcasing our area! 

 I love it!!

A suggestion for the "Ladies Night Out".  I haven't been to The Darling House, but I have been to The May Street Market at 1010 N. May Street in Southern Pines and can recommend it to you!  On Friday nights, there is a live band from 7:00 - 10:00.  There are lots of friendly people who have a great time!   Last Friday night the band was Joyner, Young and Marie and people were dancing in the aisles!   The band is loud, but that seems to be a part of the fun.  I can recommend The May Street Market Burger and the popcorn on the tables is great!  The website for The May Street Market is http://www.maystmarket.com/.  On the website, you can find the schedule for the bands, the menu, etc.  I recommend that you plan ahead and call The Market for reservations, 910-692-4110.   Morris Pennington, the owner, will reserve a table for you and your friends.  I have seen tables for 2 and tables for 10 or more.  Morris will remember your name and make you feel welcome and appreciated.  The atmosphere is casual and comfortable.   Friendships have been made and there have even been weddings and birthday celebrations at this unique place in Southern Pines.   Breakfast and Lunch are also served.  If you decide to give The Market at try, I hope that you have a great time.

Below is a list of some of my favorite eating spots for lunch in Moore County. They are in no particular order.

Please feel free to add to the list.

My Favorite Lunch Spots

Squire's Pub. I hate fast food. I refuse to eat it, unless there is absolutely no other alternative. When I'm in a hurry, I call ahead to Squire's Pub and ask for the loaded baked potato with steak and mushrooms. With tip, it's about $8, and I get a great meal faster than a trip around the Mickey D's drive through.

Panera Bread. They made it on my breakfast list, too. I like to get the half sandwich and cup of soup, especially the potato or french onion. The service is excellent, the food is good and fast. They also have a great grilled cheese sandwich for kids.

Corfu's. You've got to try their pan-seared grouper with lemon caper cream sauce. My mouth waters just typing the description. If the weather is nice, I like to sit outside and imagine I'm in some little Mediterranean seaside village. The funeral home across the street brings me back to reality, but the food is still awesome. I usually order water and come out for less than $10 with tip.

Caterino's. I am a Southerner. A good ol' boy redneck from South Carolina. I honestly did not know that people drank unsweet tea until I was in college. The very idea...Imagine the culture shock I received when I met real live Yankee restaurant owners here in Moore County. Nick Caterino is one of those guys. He is a little brazen, but underneath that tough exterior is one mighty fine baker and sandwich maker. His bread is baked fresh daily and the portions would choke a horse. Even I can't finish the meal. Sometimes. I just let them build me a sandwich. They're all good. The Philly is amazing. The Meatball sub comes in bread that has this impossibly thin layer of crunchy goodness that gives way to a chewy center. (He also makes some pretty good homemade wine.)

Eastwood Diner. Remember that part about being Southern? This is where I go to get back to my roots. Eastwood Diner is one of the few places in Moore County that I order tea. And I don't have to tell them sweet, either. Their buffet will make your tongue slap your forehead, trying to lick your lips. Fried chicken, collards, sweet potatoes, banana pudding (pronounced nanner puddin'). This is absolute paradise for only $8.

Last night, my family and I took a tour of the nativity displays at the Whispering Pines Country Club. The Sandhills/Moore Coalition for Human Care has assembled over 50 of them from donors as a fundraiser. These displays come from all over the world and are truly amazing.

One of the interesting things about them was that each culture made the faces and costumes match that particular culture. Kenyans, Koreans, Peruvians, Italians. It really brought to mind the universality of the Christmas story.

Please take the time to go see and also to support the work of the Coalition.
