Happy Thanksgiving

Technically it's tomorrow.
We had a lovely supper with Ray's sister Evelyns family!
They have a cabin about 3 miles from here.
Vanessa's home, and answered the phone this morning while we were out hauling wood. When we came in she mentioned it.
I already had a roast, potatoes & carrots in the slow cooker, and a loaf of bread in the bread machine!
We went anyway! The appliances shut themselves off when they were done, and we had a great time!

I also made some puffed wheat squares (cause Vanessa likes them), and my famous
Double Layer Pumpkin Pie is made for tomorrow, and in the fridge.
I'm still  planning to make some pepper jelly tarts, and some unbaked cookies (Fiddle Diddles). I have to make something for the 3rd Annual Open House at the Library Friday night.
I'm also the hostess at Stamp Club next Monday (19th), so have to make somethng for that!

I'm making a pasta dish for supper tomorrow night, Kalen's coming! We had our turkey tonight, but we will have Pumpkin Pie!

I made Meatloaf Stew yesterday in the slow cooker. Ray & I like it. It's in Jean Pare's Slow Cooker meals. This Spring when the guys were fencing and stuff, I had to go somewhere. Could have been the LACAA convention, or maybe I worked at the casino, anyway, I threw that in the slow cooker for one of their meals while I was gone. I got home, and Kalen said,"What the heck was in the slow cooker the day you left?"
I thought a minute and said, "Meatloaf stew."
He said, "Well it sure tasted a lot better than it looked!"
I said, "Your dad and I like that!"
Ray said, "It couldn't have been that bad, cause it was gone in one sitting!"
I'll admit, it doesn't look like much, but it is really good. If you have that cookbook, try it! Throw an onion in with the potatoes and carrots! Put BBQ sauce on the top. Cook on low for 8 hours....it is REALLY good!

The other day I vacumed up my favorite eye liner!
I always vacum out the drawer in the bathroom. Ray keeps his brush in there.
It was one of those that was about 1 inch long......you know, the one you can squeeze another week, month, year out of!
Thing is, I'm sure I can get it for about $1.99, being an AVON lady & all!
Now for sure I have to find it in the book.....my luck it won't be on sale!

Vanessa brought the treasures from Michaels that I wanted her to get!
2 punches, 2 scrapbook frames, and another ribbon holder!
And I put my order in for a CROP-A-DIAL for when she goes home! Of course I gave her a 40% off coupon too!
I go to Grande Prairie next month to see my eye guy, so will check out the scrapbooking storage stuff!
I also read on a post, how to make your own storage carousel. It might be here!

Crap, if that link shows up more than once, just ignore it!
I'm thinking I can do this too! It's better thatn digging through a dozen boxes, just cause 'you know you have something!'

I also tried to add a blinkie! That's the little pink box on the left. It should be flashing, and SYC means Scrap Your Crap, and there's actually a website to that effect, and if the darn blinkie would work, when you clicked on it, would take you there to check it out! Oh well, here's hoping!
