My Favorite Things, Challenge #HMFMC158

Our super talented Teamie Sue Kment, is hosting and has chosen the song...

My Favourite Things!You can read the song's lyrics below to use them for your inspiration
*****
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
*****

What a HAPPY SONG to inspire you to break out your House-Mouse Stamps!!! 
This could go so many ways/themes from the lovely lyrics. Hope you can join us. 

 

I had a heck of a time making this card come together, and I'm still not sure!

I took my sentiment off cause I thought it was too big.

The snowflake covers the torn image.....bother!

 

Anyhoo, here it is, cause I got a full day of Annual Christmas Craft Saling to do with the gf's!

 

 

This was my very first HM stamp & I LOVE it!

I've got Whiskers on Kittens, Warm Woolen Mittens, a snowflake.......

Love the charm (Thanks America!)

This is a great song cause there's lots of ways to interpret it!

 

Dig out your HM, Happy Hoppers & Gruffies & play along!

 

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!



Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever. --Leo Buscaglia

OH EM GEE! I didn't think I'd ever warm up today!
I put stew in the slow cooker, and a loaf of parmesan peppercorn bread in the bread machine & went out to play.
No, it was NOT warm out!
I have to get the heat trace tacked down under the skylight.....sigh...........it's ongoing, what can I say!
Tomorrow it should be done. It IS doing it's job though, melting the snow on the roof, and in the eavetrough!
In between coming in to warm up etc. I DID do laundry & stuff!

I made a card a while ago for one of the gf's for this week.
I used a Bugaboo image, they're my kind of people......

 

I got this sentiment stamp from the clearance bin at Michaels.

 

Hahahaha.............she'll laugh!

The past 2 weeks I've been out to dinner with the gf's, to a meeting, to the movie, sorted & delivered Avon.....OI!!! Went to the Open House at the Greenhouse, nice to see them doing seasonal stuff!
Also were taking sign ups for classes.

I've been back to the Drug Store.....I've got 14 hours in, and I thought it would only take a day!
Sad thing is, the BFF & daughter are in Jamaica, another was away, and 1 was baby sitting when I went back this week!
Guess I'm gonna have to volunteer my time at least once a week!

Giftware is a B!TCH, just sayin!

I've got a ton of pictures, this was the organized mess we had to find a place to put!

 

We had the same idea!

 

 

Making progress....

 

 

This week my job was to empty this table, and 2 carts!

I'm doing pretty good, the table was piled high!

 

Sangria; I bought a mix at the Greenhouse, have to go back for more.

Since the fruit isn't in season, it was frozen, so worked as the ice cubes!

 

Better go, hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

 



Craft a Scene

I'm on a roll.
I think this is my third challenge in as many days!
I LOVE days off!

Craft a Scene - Trees, Trees, Trees

This month our theme is "Trees, Trees, Trees". This means you should create a stamped or digi'd scene that shows us a lot of trees. Pretty simple, right?

 

Well, I only did one tree, but I really like how it turned out.

Of course it looks better IRL!

 

 

Here's a blurry picture up close!

I got a couple Pearl Pens, and I may be in LOVE!

 

The texture is amazing!

 

You have all month to play.

Dig out some tree stamps!

I think I'll link this one up over at:

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!



House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge # 157

* ANYTHING~but a card*

{That means you may create anything at all - whatever crafty little thing your heart desires - as long as it is NOT a card and it features a House-Mouse character}. :)

 

Good golly I'm having a heck of a time in Blogger this morning!

 

I played along, cause those HM people ROCK!

 

Anyhoo........

I needed a wine bottle tag;

it's an unconventional CONGRATULATION/HAPPY FOR YOU tag,

but that's the way I roll!

It'll make her smile, and that's what it's all about!

 

 

 

 

The little charm is a wine glass charm!

 

You still have a week to play people!

Get out your HM, Happy Hoppers & Gruffies!

 

Hope you're all well!

Hellooooo peeps!
First time I've sat in the Craft room all week and I'm not even crafting.........yet!

Went out with the gf's twice this week! Different gf's!!
Got my flu shot, made treats (more) for the guys at work.
Went to the Halloween/ Happy Hour party at the OFH last night!
I gotta dress up more when I'm the barmaid....I got tips! hahahaha
Still have the black nail polish on, and the wash off tattoos.....doesn't say how MANY washes!
OH well, at least most of the makeup came off, and the guys at work loved the tats! OI!

Tomorrow, and maybe Sunday I will be going to help out at Value Drug Mart!
Apparently we're creating a Winter Wonderland!
Oh the things you do for the gf's!
My BFF's son & DIL own the Drug Store, and need help!!
I said, "It's gonna take us 2 days!?"
I'll take pictures!!

Ok, that's all I got....got some cardstorming going on in my pointed little head, so I'll be making a couple yet tonight!

I got pictures...........of course I do!

OHMYGOSH........Halloween PEEPS! Look at those Happy faces!

 

Poison  Potions for the guys at work

 

 

One of my shrubs last week, holding out!

The leaves are gone this week!

 

 

Flowers from the kids/ delivered to work.

I said, "Is it my birthday again?"

The guy said, "Isn't it your anniversary?"

hahahaha

 

 

Full moon coming up last week I think!

 

 

I forgot I ordered this wine cooler!

It came Monday so I installed it!

Told me to use the template to mark where the screws go......

WHAT TEMPLATE?

 

 

Holds 4 bottles,

unfortunately not with corks,

so the Dr. will have to be chilled in the other fridge!

 

Ha, see my reflection!

I'm saving up for a microwave that goes over my stove....

it's a little crowded under the booze cupboard now!

 

It snowed last weekend for a minute, but was lovely out tonight,

I had Firepit Friday!

 

Ray went to the first hockey game of the season for the local hockey team.

He's feeling better, has his blood checked weekly, to make sure it isn't going anywhere.

 

Hope you're all well!
