If your plan isn't working, adjust your plan. Never give up.--Matt Martin, Personal Trainer

Hello people!
Hope you had a great weekend!

I worked last holiday Monday so I could take today off!
I had an appointment in Peace River (100 kms away), then I did Walmart & came home!
Been busy though!

Vanessa was home for the weekend!
Friday night I was a good mother and watched Breaking Dawn with her and a friend.
Before she came home I was talking to my blog friend Myrna through e-mail.
We were talking about the different syndromes we had.
I told her I had something, cause the night before I went to the spare room to get some paper I had in mind for a card (the paper rack is in there), decided to make the bed up (futon), cause Vanessa will be home tonight, cleaned a bathroom, did some dishes, went back to make the card, and didn't have the paper I went for!
Went to get it, was feeling hungry, cut up a melon.....yeah, I finally got there!
With the paper!

Saturday afternoon we watched The Help.
Vanessa left yesterday morning so I whipped up a Congratulation card for her.
She starts her new job Thursday, so here's the card.


I KNOW it's blue...I'll try to quit that!
It helps that her favorite color is blue!
It probably won't get there until she's done work Thursday,
so if you're lurking Vanessa, Good Luck at your new job!

Here's Shadow outside with her horn cap from a buffalo;
I think she has a stash somewhere!
I think we discussed horn caps before.
She chews on them like she would a bone!




Ray brought home a new toy on the weekend!
I can't WAIT to play with it!
A log splitter people!
How FUN is THAT!?


Last night my desk was full of these fellers!


This was my inspiration!
Aren't they cute!?
I finished them tonight!


And hey, they're not all blue!
They're Birthday cards to go in the stash for SAS4K's (Canada)!

The House Mouse & Friends challenge is up.
I don't know if I have anything to play along......I'll give it some thought!

Last week an ad for this site popped up on Facebook.
Of course when it popped up the deal of the day were some stamps I just HAD to have!

Then I was looking at some templates here to tell Myrna about, and they had www.paperpizazz.com on them.
That took me to this site!
Of course I looked around, and made a small order, of things I just NEEDED!
Then I made the mistake of popping over here:
And,
you got it!
Stuff I NEEDED!
My stamp club stuff should be in this week too!
I should have the needing out of my system for a while!


Thanks for stopping by everyone, and leaving such nice comments!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

Looks like Shadow is in 'the zone' with her horn cap. She also looks like she is toasty warm with her wooly coat.

You've been busy again (or I should say "as usual"). Very pretty blue card.

I have The Help on my movie wish list and hopefully I will be able to see it soon. Breaking Dawn ...not so much.

Well you sure can't say those little guys fall into the blue category in any way.
Thanks for all the sites!!!
I haven't completely conquered the blue thing but I do have a couple of green cards on the go.
I have had to put a cap on my NEED things because I can't find what I already have. lol

I meant to post yesterday, but I had company last night and never got back to the computer.
Please don't stop making blue cards. They are lovely, and blue is my favorite color.
Log splitters are the best. We used to have one when we burned a lot of wood in our wood funace. It was one that my DH made to connect to the Bobcat's hydraulics. Made life so much easier (for him). No way I was going to be splitting wood with a maul and sledge hammer.
Since he has been gone, I have not used a lot of wood, until this year when my oldest son brought a bunch of wood and split it for me.
We no longer have the wood splitter or Bobcat.
I love wood heat. So constant and cheap, if you live in an area where wood is abundant.
Isn't punch art the most fun to do? Love your cards.
OK, you have to stop being an enabler. I can not afford it :-).
Talk soon.

Your cards are so gorgeous, Gail! I love the texture of the embossed turquoise one and the monochome look is stunning. And those Sesame character cards, so cute! Shadow is adorable. Boy, do I wish we had a dog but don't tell the cat. ;-)

Another busy day for you. How in the world do you cram all that activity into one day? Wears me out..LOL

Your creations are so cute and I love the blue card. Blue is always so serene and beautiful.

Have a fab weekend! "Hugs"

I agree with everyone else about the blue card it is just gorgeous and you shouldn't stop making them.
Yes, the log splitter is fun. I bought my hubby one last Christmas and he loves it a lot!
The sesame street character cards are darling. Thanks so much for making them for sas4kidscanada. They will be appreciated.
Love the picture of your pooch. He sure likes large bones.
Smiles.
