OMG! Can I just say that the last week has been sooooo stressful, and we're not even near (72 miles) a fire!?
It's raining sporadically, hopefully it's enough to help out the fire fighters!
Then I read this!
I cooked one summer at the Tanker Base in Manning.
It was a pretty slow year, thank goodness, but I had just fed the Bird Dog pilot, and the guy that rides with him, and they crashed. I was horrified, and sad, and all those emotions.
I didn't know them well, but we had Butter Tarts at lunch, and the guy that was a diabetic said they were the best Butter Tarts he had ever had!
I had a lot of fun that year!
We did crafts (of course we did), and the Forestry guys in town said it was the first year they weren't busy going to court for their crews!
I was into painting cement stepping stones that year, and we had classes!
It was a lot of fun!
OK, Vanessa's here!
One of her friends is getting married this weekend!
Here's the birthday card I made for her! Her birthday was yesterday!
Another Iris Folded card!
She loves dragonflies (and the color blue), and I think her comment was,
and I quote, "That's one kick ass card!"
The little tiny purse is an inside joke.
I buy purses, and they end up under my bed.
Hey....I wear mine out!
She's forever digging under my bed for a purse when she comes home!
That little purse charm even opens; Vanessa laughed when she seen it!
Hope you're all well, and the weather's tolerable!
We have a province wide fire ban, which sure puts a kybosh into TGIF, drinking beer by the fire pit!
Oh well, I don't want to be the one starting a forest fire in my neighborhood!
The potatoes are planted, all 42 unhills (raised beds), and the peas Ray bought!
I planted some pots of wave petunias tonight, and will get everything else planted this weekend, and the grass cut etc.!
The mosquitos are horrible this year, so might need to figure out how to carry around my mosquito coils! Ha!
I hate the sticky, smelly Bug Spray!
Have a great long weekend!
Talk to you again!
Ta ta for now!

She is right, it is one kick ass card. I think iris folding is so much fun. Don't know why I don't do more of it. I have a lot of patterns. I think some of them are so big they dominate the card tho'.
Man you are one busy gal. Glad the fire is away from you.
Have a great week end.

Wowzers ... nice card, Gail! That's another technique that I love but am not so good at. You certainly have mastered it!
Speaking of bug spray ... Off has some new little pocket size machine that you can clip on your clothes, in place of the spray. I have not tried it yet but it sure would be worth seeing if they work.
Kick ass would certainly describe it. I've never tried iris folding but you are the master! I can't believe that we have not had coverage of the fires here in the states. I'm sorry that is happening up there. I hope you stay safe and unaffected. Best, Curt
