The few of you who read this will be happy to know that I am grateful for little things, as soooo many have waaaay more problems than me.....makes me feel petty stressing about stupid stuff!
Here is whatès going on in my corner of the world
And Ièm pretty sure these pictures are gonna be huge, cause I stole them off the internet!
This fireès burning about 75 kms north west of here!
Theyère bringin in the BIG guns!
Itès been HOT!
You guys are used to seeing a minus in front of my temperature!
We had this problem last year, when the fire was further away and to the south east of us!
This was coming home yesterday afternoon!
Those guys by the pile of dirt are putting in the water lines....yup....weère gonna have town water!!!!Yayyyy!
This was this afternoon!
I thought it was blurry, I took several; thereès just that much smoke!
Ray was working up where the fire is, and staying in a camp, but they kicked everyone out to make room for the fire fighters!
Heès still been going to work, just staying here.
Alrighty, now that youère depressed Ièll tell you about the fun part of the week! hahaha
I went to an invitation only Stampin Up garage sale!
It started promptly at 7:00 pm!
If we were there early we could have cocktails!
I went early!
I got 8 stamp sets, some ink, embellishments, paper;
she even had a free basket, and I had to restrain myself! hahahaha
All for $60.00!
If you know ANYTHING about Stampin Up youèll know I got a lot of stuff for a steal!
It was fun, I donèt think we made a dent in her stuff though!
Got home late (on a work night); then ran around watering stuff like a mad woman!
I also made a card earlier this week!
Friends of the Library helped out with the Canada Day BBQ!
The 3 of us that were there had an impromptu meeting, as I volunteered to make a thank you card for the store manager.
Hereès the inside!
I had these metal letters that look like old typewriter keys!
Him & his family have been transfered, so by the time our next meeting rolls around in September, theyèd be gone!
I also think Bloggerès still toying with me, as every time I use an apostrophe,
I get some French thingy!
Please bear that in mind...I DID NOT put an extra E in all those words!
Or maybe itès just screwing with me as I type this! I.DONèT. KNOW!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

That is a really great card.
Yay regarding town water.
That smoke is even making things in Camrose hazy according to what I read on fb.
Lucky you with that great haul.

Hi Gail, wow, but you are save or is it very close to you?
Your card is just great, love the letters in combination with the typewriter.

Oh my, the fire has moved that much closer already...? It was interesting to read up on that huge helicopter, though, thanks for the link! I love that card you made, particularly the inside. I'll be posting one tomorrow - no more light to take pictures just now. I'm considering staying up like until 3 am (another 3 hours) because they were promising us northern lights in our nook of the world due to a sunstorm. But maybe there's too much light pollution here to see much anyway... Or CLOUDS.
