We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. Oscar Wilde

Hello!
Hope you've all been well!

Kalen is here for the weekend so I left work this morning at 10am.
My job will be flexible like that! 
I do have to work for a few hours tomorrow, but he has plans!

We're (commune), gramma, Kalen, probably Dorothy are going out for supper tonight!
Fun times!

Dorothy had a birthday yesterday, here's her card!

 It's my Aunt Alyces birthday today, here's her card!



It's an eclipse card.
I think it turned out great, I have since ordered smaller alphabets, as 4 letters is all that will fit with this size!
It doesn't show up, but the green in the background is shimmery!

I also, unfortunately needed a sympathy card for my friends that helped me move here!
They had to put one of their corgis down.

I will need another one, as their second Corgi died this week.
Not sure if it was from a broken heart, but so sad.

There you have it!

I am working on a few other cards, I got sidetracked making these, so Brysons' Easter card is done!
Pretty sure I need a few more birthday cards, before Easter!

It's a lovely day here, after we had snowmaggedon on Tuesday!

Better go, hope you're all well!
Have a great long weekend!
Talk to ya later!

Inspiration is some mysterious blessing which happens when the wheels are turning smoothly.~Quentin Blake

I have had a busy couple weeks!
Of course I have!
Got some cards made, I'm working on a few Birthday cards now.
Valentine cards made & sent!


 This one Kalen received. 
I punched the hearts out then stuck them back in popped up!




 These were Triangle fun fold cards.



 I made & sent treats for everyone at Bryson's day care! 



I had a chimney fire early Monday morning.
Scared the crap out of me; the chimney sweepers who arrived later in the day say "It only scares us- let it burn"!
Easy for them to say; I said next time there won't be a 100 kmh wind from the north to keep the sparks off the house!
My mom says, there won't be a next time. I already had one!
OI!


The chimney sweepers were able to come that day & fix me up!
Awesome people, and who knew I'd need them!
Thought it was just a movie!! 
 This is not my chimney cap, but that's what it looked like!

 
 
My day starts pretty early in the commune!
I hit the start button on the coffee machine, light the fire, go outside to check the weather, come back in and pour a coffee.
That morning, as I'm pouring coffee, I thought, where are all those sparks coming from!?
BOTHER!

When Kalen visits next I'll tell him what I want need!
On my list already are 2 metal buckets with lids, sand, a spray nozzle for the hose (don't spray water down the chimney) etc.
I didn't (spray water), I couldn't get the hose hooked up to the tap.
Forgot I have a tap right next to the chimney!

Been to Mary Poppins, loved it!
Took mom to her appointment in Fernie!
Got a job.
Wyndell Saturday night for the coffee house.
Going to 'A Tapestry of Love' performance on Sunday.
Got 2 cords of wood delivered & stacked in my little shed. My uncle helped with one, I did the other by myself.
I face time with Bryson regularly, and he phones to talk to gramma when he gets in trouble! 

There's the condensed version!

Hope you're well!
Talk to you later!
