Nothing will work unless you do. ---Maya Angelou

Good morning peeps!
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends!
I have made a few cards.
I'll show you them, and then you can get on with your day!

I needed 2 wedding cards, so whipped up 2 standbys!
(Mom needed one!)


 I made a Halloween wreath from a Stampin' Up kit and took it to my mom!
The color is really off here! It's all quite orange!
Look for the purple spider. It's put together with beads!


 |Kalen's Halloween card. I stopped last Sunday on my way home & had lunch with him & 2 of his room mates to the Rusty Nail Bistro, which is to the west of Grouchy Daddy's!

 My drive was beautiful!
Mother Nature was wonderful in all her Fall Splender!
Our leaves are long gone, we have such horrible winds!


 We also had to stop for this procession!
A push & pull load! It's so heavy that there's a semi at the front, and one at the back!

 Sorry the picture is crappy!
I could only find this on Pinterest!
I guess I'd have to know the trucking company! 

The kids are all away!
Vanessa & Harley are gone to a concert in Edmonton.
Kalen took my nephew Shawn & went to grammas!
This is the first time in about 2 years that I didn't have any projects at Vanessas'! 
I've been grocery shopping, filled the van with gas, I'm on my 4th load of laundry! 
The plan is to make a pie or 2, work on my Halloween bags for my peeps, maybe make a card, make my pumpkin spice pumpkin shaped chocolates for on top of my Halloween cupcakes for work, make stuffing, I bought a chicken! Peggy is coming for supper tomorrow. I also took her with me on my trip and dropped her off at her daughters!
I need to get the outside of my windows washed either later today or tomorrow morning. I got cabbage roles |& perogies from the Farmers Market yesterday, they're thawing in the fridge!
I have an easy recipe for  sugar scrub I want to try. I have a 25 lb. bag of apples sitting on my floor to do something with, and I brought the brand new coveralls home from work to pick the patch off the back!
We moved into our new (to us) shop & office.
I can probably walk there if I have to!
There was a box of brand new coveralls; if someone would pick the patch off the back, we can use them!
I might or might not have volunteered!
I have a dentist appointment Tuesday morning, and I finally (after whining) get to see the orthopedic surgeon on Oct 22!
I can live with the pain, it would just be another ache, but the swelling bothers me!I want to know what he put in there!
So this has taken me forever cause I keep getting side tracked on the internet by stuff like this!
 
Anyhoo, have a great weekend people!

Hope you're all well! Talk to ya later!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Gail!
Your surely are and have been busy. Love your wedding cards. The embossing on the first one is so crisp and I love the addition of the roses on the second one.
Sorry to hear your foot troubles aren't over yet. Hope the surgeon will actually listen to what you have to say.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Love the quote header on this post! How very apt. Loved this gorgeous white embossed card too. That is one pretty design, and looks wonderful in the creamy white. Delightful Halloween card & project. So enjoyed seeing the pictures of your fall ride. Such gorgeous scenery. I'm hoping the dreadful rainfall in SC didn't wash away all the leaves I was hoping to enjoy seeing change color. The maple in our yard had just started with about 4 leaves prior to our trip. Good luck with the ortho visit, I hope they can get your foot problems sorted. You sound like one busy lady....and a very organized one at that. I need some of your energy & drive!!! TFS & have a great Sunday. Enjoy your 'breathing' time. Altho it doesn't really sound as though you're getting any of it!!! Hugs

Happy Thanksgiving, Gail! Even a day late... Your cards are all fantastic - and thanks in particular for the Halloween one... reminds me I wanted to get going on those! Good luck at the dentist's and with your foot, too - hope they figure out the problem and that the swelling will disappear in no time!
