Happy Weekend everyone!

Ray & his sister left Wednesday for Phoenix.
YUP, they got there.
Horrible weather we've been having in Alberta!
Humongous car pile up by Edmonton!

We had snow, and evil winds, but nothing like that!
I'll be firing up the snow blower tomorrow!

I've vacummed & scrubbed floors & bathrooms, had dinner with the gf's twice this week (different gf's), went to classic movie night at the theatre last night! Dirty Dancing, one of my favorites!
It was also a fundraiser for Food For Thought; it's a breakfast program at the schools!
Did laundry, Shadow & I went for our walks!
Taken out the bottles, burnt garbage, drove the handivan yesterday morning too!
I've saved a load of laundry for tomorrow, the snow blowing, and then I'm going to do what I want....it might include a nap!
I'm having a beverage, then I think I'm ready for my bed!

Lookit what I got this week!

I don't know where to start!
Or what to play with first!
I won the back row of Spellbinders and crafting foil!!
I played along with their new release blog hop a while ago!
I also won the Lil' Buckaroos stamp set (it's pink on the left, under the Homemade Trinkets), and the rest of the stuff I ordered!
Some is from Kraftin' Kimmie ( Damn Kraftin' Kimmie & Frugal Friday!),and the rest is from my favorite Canadian online store!

I also made some coffee mixes up for my gf's....nope....guess I didn't take a picture!

Vanessa sent me a picture of what she wants for a birthday cake!
Hahaha, it's in May!
I have to text or e-mail Kalen to see if he got his card; and the gift I ordered online and sent to his place! He's sailing, but is home on the weekends.

Oh yeah, here's the cards I made and rejected!

This one,

 

Uh, no.

 

This one,

 

 

Really liked those little camo pinwheels, but they weren't doing it either!

 

This was the one I sent.

 

 

Maybe I should've had a vote!!!

 

Well, I'm getting sleepy, maybe it's the beverage! Hahaha

 

Oh I forgot, I took a picture of a fat little chickadee.

They make me smile, always singing!

 

 

 

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

Seriously!
Where does the time go!?
I've got picture overload for you here tonight!

Last Friday was the Open House/Silent Auction at the library.
I took these cupcakes; which were a big hit with the kids!

 

I ran out of icing sugar, so took a tier off my cupcake holder thingy!

The bats & pumpkins were edible, can you say SUGAR; the eyes & eyebrows were not,

but I thought they looked cool!

I also took the famous Pepper Jelly Tarts, and if I had a minute I'd find you that recipe,

cause I know it's on the blog already!

 

I know where the saying "Deer in the headlights look" came from!

This little feller was on the road one morning.

We were both stopped for a while, cause the snow's deep,

and he didn't know what he wanted to do!

 

This was the moon coming up one night, maybe the night I went to 'Card Camp'.

Of course these pictures won't be in cronological order....HA!

 

This is how cold it was Halloween morning going to work!

Of course the vehicle thermometer hit -31 in my travels!

Crazy hey!?

It was OCTOBER!!!!

 

One of our guys wives sent this to the office on Halloween!

She must have been up all night!

 

These are the trees to the west of the office!

They look like they all have skirts on!

 

Today I got Happy Mail!!!

I won this on Americas blog last month!

Check her out....she does awesome stuff!

 

I can't wait to play!

These next pictures are from Card Camp earlier this week!

I'm such a good friend, I told her I'd be the sixth person if she needed me!

Need I say more..........

I didn't take pictures of all of them either!

 

We made 6 simple cards.........

Those are tags, we just stamped a greeting, used some DP & ribbon......

easy peasy!

 

I think we made 6 of these; we used stickers, and DP.

 

 

And we made 8 tags, well, I'm using them for tags!

They're little 3 X 3's!

 

Also in the mail today I got the project I'm making for my bosses baby they had in August!

I know, bad Gail, but hey......I knew what I wanted!

It has to be done by December 1st, so I'd better get busy......

Yes, I'll take pictures when I'm done!

 

Better go!

Hopefully I'll talk to you again before I go visit Kalen next week!

I leave Thursday!

 

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

Good morning everyone!
It's really foggy here this morning, as it tried desperately to rain last night! (1 mm)
I'm sure as soon as the sun burns it off, it'll be hot, and I need to get the yard work done!
Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, (with pre op Tuesday), pretty sure I'll still be able to mow the grass (riding lawn mower), but the whipper snipping might be out!
I made a dessert last night, as we're going to an 85th birthday pot luck supper later today!
Hope I have a card in the stash for her! (DH's aunt)
I'm making dessert & a salad for tomorrow nights supper too; my husband has relatives here from Germany, and we're getting together at my SIL's cabin a few miles from here!


I received 'Happy Mail' yesterday!
I won a jar of Strawberry/Ameretto Jam from my friend Barbaras blog!
Can't wait to try it!
Thanks Barbara!

Vanessa also suprised me last weekend with a photo album she scrapbooked all by herself!

Said it took her 2-3 months!

It's wonderful, and I'm so proud of her!

And here's my mom's birthday card! FINALLY!

It's already in the mail!

Remember I got this off Sonias blog!?

Turned out pretty wonderful if I do say so myself!

I've got 2 more cards on the go; want to have them ready to mail Monday!

Have to see if I get a minute!

Have a great weekend!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!
