Ahhhhh Home!

Got home Wednesday!

Same old, same old!

Can't catch my breath!
This is what it's been doing since I left!

 
I mowed hayed the yard last night between showers!
Ray will do the rest if it doesn't rain today!
 
Now I'm showing you the obligatory holiday photos!
There's lots................
of course there is!
 
It was hot, I got sunburned and very tired, but was happy happy happy!
And no, I don't watch Duck Dynasty!
 
Here's a shot of one of the metal eagles that are on every street corner in
 
 
Games played at the Amish Auction at Rexford, Montana!
 

 
Hahaha, the kids LOVED it!
 
I NEED this bumper sticker!
 
 
Quilts being auctioned.................
 
 
These are called "Light in the Valley".
Don't bother looking for the pattern!

 


 
Other auction items......
This was a bar with 4 bar stools!
 
 
Funky chair..........

 
Birdhouses.........
Cabins in the background!

 
Awesome chainsaw carving!

 
Tons of people...............

 
Birdhouse mom bought!
 
 
She said we had to go back 4 more times, cause she needs 5 altogether!
I was only allowed to bid up to $30.00!
 
A moose where we always eat dinner driving back after the sale.

 
Great time was had by all!
I bought 2 quilts.
The other, a Broken Star/ Split Star.
I'll have to find a link another day.........
Vanessa was coming for a sleep over, and is already here!
Can't wait for next year!
 
I aquired a lot of treasures from my favorite Scrapbooking store in Rocky Mountain House.
Maybe if they get lots of followers, they'll update their blog!
It's amazing, they have some of everything!
Because I live in Smalltown, Nowhere, I read about all the fun stuff you people use for creating!
These ladies actually show me the stuff, what it does, the drying time (hahahahaha) etc.!
 
Here's the latest treasures!
 
 
Pretty sure I'll be stopping in again when I go later this week for the
My cousin Jeff is a big deal in that business!
 
So I'm home for a minute, probably won't get any crafting done, but I'll try!
 
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

Life is about timing. --Carl Lewis

Hello peeps!
This is me finding time to blog! SIGH

Welcome Shaz!

I'm leaving on Wednesday so I'll be MIA for a week or so!

WARNING: THIS NEXT CARD IS A CHIRSTMAS CARD

 
I hurried to do this before the deadline.
I couldn't even find my white stickle stuff, so used a glitter.
Went to link it up and WHOOPS..........
 
 
Do YOU see 3 buttons and ribbon?
Me neither!
That'll learn me to leave it last minute, and not read ALL the instructions!
Oh well, 4 more Christmas cards are made!
 
Now for your environment/Entomology lesson!
See the black on the tree in the middle about 3/4's of the way up!?
 
 
I noticed the black spot on Friday.



 
We don't like them.
I took a picture of the tree tops, cause there'll probably be no leaves when I get home.
And after the leaves took so long to get here this year!

 
In happier news, here's a picture of the bright yellow somethings I planted in my holey boots!

 
They were on their way to the bin last fall, but I got Ray to drill holes in the bottom (in case there weren't enough) and I filled them full of dirt!
Makes a cute eye catching pop of color by the waiting bench at the outhouse!
 
 
I whipped up a set of 4 Thank You cards (each) for my mom & my aunt.

 
Yeah, yeah I know the last one has a larger black area, but I measured the patterned piece wrong!
Of course I did!
Loved the ribbon!
I told one of my older peeps at the OFH when they had flowers on the tables;
" I don't work here anymore, couldn't you gather up the ribbons in the flowers for me!?"
And she did!
 
Alrighty, my bag's half packed!
3 more sleeps!
My hair is done on Tuesday, and the van's going in for a Steam Cleaning, Detailing, full meal deal...
cause I got connections!
 
Hope everyone's well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
