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!

You have really been busy Gail, love all the cards. I would be worried also if I had a chimney fire. Congratulations on getting a job.

Hugs Diane

What a scare! How does that happen, the chimney is not as clean as it should be or something? And while I have a hard time even admitting we are already a good way into February, you have this all your Valentine's cards and treats ready - love them! Especially the punched-out, put back in hearts.
Cheers, Barbara
