Celebrate what you want to see more of in your life.

Hello!
Go me! It's still September!
Ok, It's not regular, but there's hope for me!

I'll show you a card I made.
I also have my Halloween (?) cards done, and am working on my Thanksgiving cards. Our Thanksgiving in Canada is next month!





I needed an encouragement card. This was quick & easy!

I haven't stopped!
Weather's still good-ish, so Firepit Fridays have been on!
I actually finished my winter project last night!
We firepit until it snows or is too cold, then move inside to craft!
Yeah, picture on my phone! I'll have to email them to myself!
Movie Monday, will be Pete's Dragon. It will be on Monday cause we have to wait for a friend that's away this weekend!
Vanessa & I made a trip to GP on Monday.
Happy to say we only need some kind of shelves or storage in the closet & the baby's room is DONE! 
I DO have pictures; they're on my phone!
 
I made Foot Powder for the kids.
It's my great gramma's recipe. Don't quote me, but I think it kills whatever gives you stinky feet. Sorry if that's too much information. And the pictures' blurry!




It took me months to find a shaker container!
For those of you that are interested, it is equal amounts of
Alum
Cornstarch
Boric Acid

I also fixed my coat hangers! These were just outside my entry door, and drove me crazy!





They were broken & mismatched! Didn't take a picture, but am happy to say that they're now bigger & better, and my things won't snag or tear!

Got a lot going on today!
Going to start laundry in a minute. Fruit truck is in town.
Van is going to the shop, my brakes are squealing! Vanessa is working so will have coffee with her. Bottle depot is open so will sell the bottles. Will take down the Fall & Halloween decorations in her garage, and decide what we want & what we should get rid of.
 Decide what we're having for Sunday supper, and make a salad & dessert. Hopefully finish my cards!

Better go, Hope you're all well!
I'll come visit you all this weekend!
Talk to ya later!

It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea. --Nelson Mandela

Hello!
I don't know where to start.

Life's been getting in the way! A. Lot!
Went to the family reunion in July. The kids always say "mom, turn your phone on and let her tell you where to go."
Well, that's what I'm afraid of!
Once, she said "In 50 metres......"
Seriously, what happened to "in 800 metres....400 metres...?"
I think she was mad at me!
Anyhoo, got there & back. Fun was had by all!

Seen a few movies. Finding Dory, The Secret Life of Pets, & Bad Moms. Tuesday we're going to BFG.

Been garage saling!
Cooking, baking, canning. 
Vanessa & I made Dill Pickles, Blueberry Jam, Cherry Jam, and froze a ton of Strawberries. We've also been making freezer meals (damn you Pinterest) for when the baby comes!
If I ever get my $#it together today, the fruit truck is in town, and there's a few more garage sales.

Laundry's on the go. I need to clean my table off; Vanessa made a mini scrapbook for a friend that's moving. Didn't take a picture, but she does a good job!
I have some Halloween projects on the table somewhere, and I need an encouragement card.

I'll show you pictures of what I've been doing, then you can go on with your day! Sorry to make you worry about where I've been. The emails mean a lot to me!

This picture was when the kids & I went shopping in GP at the end of July.
Vanessa's significant other won the toy box battle!
She wanted a basket for toys.
They got this trunk!
I didn't help by saying I thought it was perfect!
Isn't she cute!


 We went to a wedding shower in July too. 
This was the card.



This was my mom's birthday card this year.
My lighting is terrible.
 
 My Stampin' Up rep emailed us all, and said she was putting in an order, did we need anything?
I hadn't even looked at my new catalogue.
I got to page 14, decided I had that stuff, and my mom needed a card.
Nope, I haven't looked further than that in the catalogue!


This next card was for one of my BFF's.
Funny story: I have another one of these Dahlia Fold flowers somewhere in my house!
I packed it off cause I thought I might need  green to go with.
Ended up using coral, and had to make another flower!
Still haven't found it!
 


I've just been majorly distracted.
I really want to carry on, and be me.

In other news, Vanessa has proudly got me a car seat, and a playpen.
Hahaha, think I'll be babysitting more than I know!
Still doing Sunday suppers, Monday suppers at Harleys' grandpas!

Now, I'd better go get dressed, and get stuff done on this rainy day!
Been raining all week! 
We actually have a pool going at work for how much rain we'll get by tomorrow morning!

I woke up this morning with a headache and runny nose!
Thanks everyone I work with!

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