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! 
 

An uninspired mind is a handicap we all can do something about. --James R. Ball

Good evening!

What a weekend, and yes I had to work today!

I cooked on Saturday!
Ham, scalloped potatoes, the works, made a Raisin Sauce for the ham!
It was DELISH!

Here's a picture of the dessert that made everyone smile!
Including Vanessa, cause it's her favortie color! HA!

 

Just google Clouds & Sky...all it is is jello & whipped cream!

But just what we needed!

The fun didn't stop there!

For our next trick....after supper, dessert & wine............

We; Vanessa, her friend & I went to unload the treadmill I bought, and Vanessa brought!

Ray forgot where he lived, and wasn't home!

Vanessa:"It took 3 guys to get it in here"

Hers is the white SUV.

I went & got the furniture dolly, and we slid it out onto it.

Both tires were flat!

We got it to the steps outside on the flat tires.

With Vanessa & I on the 'Heavy End'- that's what it said,

and Carol at the top of the stairs, we pushed & pulled it to the door.

Carol flipped one of my entry way rugs over, and we slid it the rest of the way into the kitchen!

I made Vanessa take pictures so she could "PROVE" that 3 women got it into the house!

 

Here's the sad, flat tired dolly!

 

 

I need you to notice all the SNOW we still have!

 

The disaster in the entry way!

 

Here it is........in the kitchen!

All 335 lbs of it!

 

 

Here's Carol & I with our farm gloves on!

 

 

And our boots & shoes; told her not to worry about it!

 

Then on Sunday, Vanessa & I put it together. TWICE!

OMG!

We got it together in the kitchen,

and it wouldn't fit through the doorway of the bedroom it's going to live in!

 

Ha, we're both taking pictures of the unbelievable NO FIT!

That was ok though, because Vanessa had dropped one of my little screwdrivers into the handle part, and we couldn't get it out without taking it apart!

 

 

There you have the rest of the story!!!!

It's resting comfortably in the master bedroom, which is humongous;

it has it's own spot, and Ray won't be home when I use it anyway!

We put a little table there for my CD player, cause I listen to audio books while I'm on it....

Only I might check out an ipod!

I have an MP3 player, but we can't get a book to download onto it!

Yes, I've had it to the computer store, the library,

and anywhere else they might know something about it!

 

I need to find a home for all the stuff that came out of the bedroom!

Including that little computer table on the left!

Think I'll take it to the second hand store!

 

I did make a few cards last week!

I tried this technique I got from my friend Myrna's blog!

 

 

 

I made 2 of them!

The second one, I made some pretty trash, cause I tried to run the lattice through the Xyron!

Run the cardstock through the Xyron before you use the die!!!!

They're very pretty!

 

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

If we all did the things we are capable of doing we would literally astound ourselves.- Thomas Edison

Because I can't get everything done I want (even though sometimes I'm up at an unGodly hour) in a day, I'm going to be the first to sign Barbara's petition!

This week, I've had appointments, fed cats for a friend that was out of town, had dinner with the gf's, stamp club, and an evil headache, that lasted waaaay too long!

I have fed our cats, the birds, the dog, did what I had to for housework, dragged the BBQ cover back from the next county........twice;
looked for the flag, I think it's south of the border; it's attached to part of the pole, so please send it back when it flies into your yard!
I've grocery shopped, picked up water (which is still in the van), sorted & delivered AVON, dropped everything to listen to the new Activity Co-ordinator at the OFH vent.......twice; had coffee with a friend, and a beer with another!
I've also managed to play my turns in Words With Friends on Facebook...it's like Scrabble!
Found an awesome site to help out for the days I'm having a brain freeze!
I'd share it with you, but I might loose my edge! hahahahahaha!


I'm still working on my crap craft room (it's getting there)!
I finished (finally) my House Mouse card (previous post), and 2 Easter cards!
I have scored and cut out some little treat bags we made at stamp club!
The kids will be home for Easter!

I'm going to get another coffee, then I'll show you the cards we made this week.
Here you go!

This is the cute little bag/box thingy!

It can hold hot chocolate, a chocolate bar...whatever you want really!

Here's a side view...yup, our stamp lady supplies the goodies!

It's actually called a Cookie & Tea Bag holder! I just looked!

Made with double sided paper!

This was how cold it was on Monday morning on my way to work!

It went from -28 to +10 and windy yesterday!

Didn't Jeff Foxworthy say:

If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Alberta.

Today; if nothing pressing comes up, I plan on working on my stampscape, for Craft a Scene.
AND if there are not hurricane force winds outside, I want to sort the bottles!
I'll be making a trip to Michaels when I take the O/S to the plane next month!
There's good money in recycling bottles these days folks!

Maybe make some cookies or muffins for my lunch!
That's on top of the usual laundry, cleaning, etc!!

Gotta go, it's getting light out already............ BIG SMILE! :)
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
