“Be brave to stand for what you believe in even if you stand alone.” —Roy T. Bennett

Good evening!
Or morning/afternoon, depending on where you are in the world!

I'm sure you're tired of hearing how busy I am!
I've been making cards; & mom & I have tickets for almost everything between now & Christmas!

Today we took in the Christmas craft fair, and had Turkey Supper at Holy Cross church! 
Tomorrow is the Music Teachers Association Fundraiser.
Monday is Wild Site Photography at the theatre.
Friday is the Footlighters play. This year they are doing Irving Berlins White Christmas.
Saturday is a Christmas craft fair at Wynndel; it's just down the road. Apparently we're not going!
Mom & her friend Dorothy want to go to The Mennonite Craft Sale & lunch in Idaho. If the weather's good, I'll take them!
We have tickets for the Blossom Valley Singers in December!
All this fun can be had for less than $20 a ticket!

I made my aunt some Christmas cards so I could include them in the package with the quilt cards.

I made 10 & kept them simple and flat so postage isn't a fortune!
These were dies I cut out when I went to the Scrapbook retreat last fall.

I have made a few Christmas cards of my own.

I guess I'm into red this year.
I LOVED the background paper of the second one, and of course had new dies (I needed)!
My ornaments didn't show up!
So I went over them with Stickles.
Does anyone still use Stickles?
It's what I had; I am a million miles away from any craft store.
However, I have heard that you can shop online at Michaels.
I digress.
This poor card was painful to make!
It took forever; was trial & error.
I then tried to emboss my greeting directly onto the card.
Epic fail!
Oh well, they're done!

I got new bird feeders this year, as the darn squirrels wrecked the ones last year. They had plastic feeding holes. 
Between the squirrels chewing them u[, and the raccoons dumping them on the ground, they were pretty sad, so I got rid of them!

These are a little more challenging!
The little birds can get the seeds easily.
The bigger birds wait on the ground for spillage.
I will be saving on birdseed this winter, as the seed doesn't just run out!
I still take them in at night, as I don't want them dumped out, cause they might break. 

Kalen was home for a few days, as he worked extra.
Hydrant isn't fixed, water is still off at the back.
I think we'll have to replace the whole thing!
He'll be home again at the end of the week!

Better go, I have had the most horrible headache today.
I haven't had a migraine forever, and no medication! 
I do have a doctors appointment, so might have to ask for some!
10 pills last me years; and if I don't take them quick enough, I can be stoned & still have a headache!
I only say that because, I always think it will go away!
So really do use them sparingly!

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