God helps those who persevere.- The Qur'an

Alrighty, I'll get right to the cards so you skip the rest of the post if you're so inclined!
I just have to add, Warning, this post may contain Christmas cards!

I made some more Thank You cards.
I really like these folders.


I guess the chandelier could be used for a lot of things.
I haven't stamped the inside yet, so will see!

These next ones are made with bits & pieces left over from other cards I've made, or have cut out and not assembled! Pretty sure it's the latter!



I was going to put a sentiment on the front, but I don't think they need one.
What do you think?

Remember over here my baby was having trouble with his renters?!

Just a heads up, you can quit reading now if you're not interested cause the rest of this is NOT craft related!!

I was at the courthouse in Peace River this morning at 8:15 am.
It's 100 kms away.
Had all my papers in order, from Kalens hearing on Monday;
 talked to Helen, whom Kalen had talked to on the phone earlier in the week.
She says, "Now your a tag team?"
"He's pretty lucky to have you to do this."
I said, "Yes he is, and he knows it."
I didn't add that those darn renters might be messing with the wrong MOTHER!
She stamped, filed, & put all the official looking stuff on that I needed,
and sent me to the registries office.
Which; didn't open until 9:00am, so I went & washed the van!
I get in line at the registry office,
and the guy in front of me is told that he has an outstanding fine.
He says: "Oh yea, I had a speeding ticket, but that was years ago."
And I'm thinking to myself & trying not to smile: "Holy moly, that's how this is gonna work!"
Because the nice girl behind the desk sent him to the courthouse to get that straightened out, cause she couldn't help him until that was cleared up!
I plop down my paper work from the courthouse, and the girl types & types & types.
She then gives me a paper with a number on it that I copy onto papers from the courthouse, stop at an office supply store to get copies in duplicate & triplicate, and back to the courthouse I go!
The only thing that gave me hesitation, not for long though, was that Kalen didn't have the guys middle name, which will make life hell for anyone with that name;
 at registry offices in the whole country! 
Oh wellllll.............
I then run into Walmart for my dog food, stop at Timmies for a snack, and was on the road again.
Went to the guys place of employment, gave the nice girl the package (in triplicate), explain what it is, and what she needs to do, and she says, "Don't you have to give him a copy?"
And I say, "No, you do."
I was at work by 11:30am!

But wait.........there's more!

I was gonna get caught right up with my work, and that didn't happen!
I'd say my printer died, but really, no matter what I did, the little LED display said sleeping.
I'm like; seriously!?
On my trip to town to get the mail, I stop at the computer store and get a new printer!
I stayed an extra hour at work to get done.
Now you know the rest of the story;
 I'm going to start the fire,
play with those kittens, and drink beer!
TGIF!
And it's a long weekend too!
And there was another rainbow!



Have a good one!
Ta ta for now!

P.S. The O/S phoned last night.
He said the people on the phone he talked to earlier in the week (don't forget, he's on the coast & has to get the Alberta stuff right)about doing all of this, made it sound like a 'Trade Secret', and he needed a lawyer or an agency to do this for him.
Said it wasn't possible, even if you lived in the same town as the court house etc. (and I don't) to get all this done in one day.
K said: "Go MOM!" "$57.00 later, we're good!"
I told him the girl at the courthouse wanted to know how old he was cause he sounded so responsible.
K said: "yea, I'm so responsible I let my renters live in my house for free!"

I really like your cards. The embossed ones are very elegant and the trees are perfect the way they are. Love the paper you used for the trees.
You are such a good Mom. It is amazing what we will do for our kids.
