Happy New Year!

I've tried all day to wrap up 2011!
I've had a fun filled week!
Christmas was great fun with V & S, and Ray's sisters family!




Here's the game playing children after supper!


V & S & I went to town to check out the Christmas lights!
This is the old hospital in town....fantastic!


My tree of course got lots of laughs!
"Don't touch the star!", was heard many times throughout the evening!
I put the tree up, the star was crooked, I straightened it out, the lights went out, fixed the lights, the star went out!
It was a vicious circle!
By the time I had everything working the star was crooked again, and I just thought 'Oh Well!'




I worked Tuesday, then Wednesday morning 2 GF's & I left for GP to work in the casino, for Friends of the Library!
The roads were terrible;  we got there in time to check into our rooms, and walk over to the casino for our shift!
We shopped til we dropped before and after our shifts at the casino, and yesterday morning before we came home!
AGAIN, in crappy weather!
I got free stuff at London Drugs!
Not my fault, I tried to tell the cashier!
I almost got free stuff at Michaels.....again, not my fault, the cashier was in lala land, and not listening!
And I got an extra 40% off my purchases at Sears......what can I say!?
She rang my stuff through, and I had signed the till slip, when she said, "OOPS"!
I said, 'You're not taking it back now!"
She said, "No I'm not."
She said, "Thank you."
I said, "No, Thank YOU!"

I went to work for 3 hours when we got back to town.
Cleaned the skylights off twice last night and,
 I tried really hard to stay awake until 10 pm!

I slept til 8:45 this morning, and am wondering if we ever get too old to Shop Til We Drop!?

I've got some BD cards made for SAS4K's.




A friend came over this morning to get me to e-mail pictures of bulls (as in cattle) to a buyer!

The nativity set is put away, I've put a few other things away, done laundry, put the new (cheap) duvet cover on the bed, put up a snowflake (cheap) shower curtain, cut tags off my new (cheap) bath mats & facecloths, put my crafty stuff away!

It was really hard to get into the first book; I'm now on the second and can't put them down!

Now I'm going to play in my room, and try to stay up to welcome in the New Year!

All the best to You & Yours for 2012!

Ta ta for now!

Looks like a good time was had by all. And once again, you have shamed us all with everything you accomplished. Maybe one of your New Year resolutions should be to SLOW DOWN!

Looks like you have had lots of fun and some great bargains. Can I go shopping with you someday that would be fun? Love the cards as usual where do you get your cute bear stuff you are using. I see some of it in the Paperwishes catalogue and now I am drooling over what i want to get but know I can only get so much at a time. Oh, well they like me coming back and I do like there sales I have gotten some really good deals on paper from them.
Happy new year to you and yours! I will post some of my new creations on face book tomorrow so I shall see what comes in the mail. I just love it when I get happy mail, it always make my day so happy! Talk to you soon!

LOVED the star story. There was a reason for it. . .you just don't know it yet. The "kids" sitting around the table playing is a wonderful shot. Your bear cards are remarkable. Makes me want to cut up some of my images and make them more 3-d. Hope you have a wonderful New Year! Hugs, Curt
