The more I want to get something done, the less I call it work.--Richard Bach

Happy Weekend everyone!
Vanessa & a friend are on their way to spend the day!
I KNOW! Hardly light out and she already called!
Got lunch under control!
We're having pulled pork (not really; it's buffalo) buns with all the fixins, I made a pasta salad last night, and I'm going to try some Spinach & Cheese mini Frittatas!

It's been getting down to -30 overnight.
We had a full moon this week, and one morning at 4 AM.....I was looking outside and my vehicle wasn't plugged in! horrors!
Out I went in my comfy cozy Rudolph jammies to plug it in!
See, there's light at the end of the extension cord, so when it is -30 or -40 I can see that it's plugged in!
I digress; I have horrible sleeping habits, and I really love the way it looks outside when the moon is full, kinda like someone turned a light on......one that leaves shadows here and there, and sparkly snow in other places! So pretty! (Except for the cold!)

Here's a Stampscape for ya!
These next pictures remind me (sadly) of the fiasco of this post!
hahahaha!

These next cards are going in the stash for SAS4K's (Canada)!

Should be on their way to Lynnette shortly!

You shoud check out my friend Theresa's blog!

She made an awesome card for a SAS4K's challenge!

There's a lot of variations of this next card on the web!

This next one says 'Your Fantastic' on the inside!

I did some of these Easter cards, put Dragonflys in the corners for the girls, and ants on some for boys!

Better go! Gotta get the laundry done, get the cupcakes baked......hey, with 'The Help' coming,

they can ice them, and decorate them! I'll supervise!

Hope your keeping warm & busy!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

Hello peeps!Yesterday was a holiday for us Canadians!
Remembrance Day.
Just a holiday from work (paid) I want you to know!

I whipped up 2 pies Tuesday night! Apple & pear!
November treats for Bryon & Lacey!
October treats are here!
My GF laughed when I told her I went home & whipped up 2 pies after work! hahaha

Yesterday I made us an apple pie, & pear pie!
Just because Lacey texted me Thursday to say the pie was delish!
The pear is made like apple, only cut the cinnamon  & sugar in half & and add about 1/2 tsp. of ginger!
I have to say....YUM!
Did some laundry & played in the craft room.
Oh yeah, and there was a prize for anyone that noticed this card is upside down in this post!

Too bad....you guys missed out, no one caught it!

I made some more Christmas Cards for SAS4K's, and a couple others.

I'll be sending them out on Monday.

The Alberta cards for anyone wanting to play along get sent here:

SAS4K (Canada) c/o Lynnette Pinno

Camrose, Alberta

I finished up the treats for my November stamp club.

I got the inspiration here!

I've had them made for weeks, but couldn't decide what to put on them for embellishments.

Then I read my blog friend Theresas' blog;

and I quote:

NO MORE HOARDING.

I am getting far to old to hoard. One day I will die and all my beautiful STUFF would be left, not especially appreciated by my children who would have to decide what to do with it all.

Sorry about this rant, but I just wanted to give a heads up to everyone that keeps stuff, because it is just to beautiful to use. What are you keeping it for?

So I've had those cute metal deer 4-evah!

And thought they'd be just perfect on the little treat origami thingys!

I tied some elastic metallic ribbon on for a scarf of sorts, and wah la!

Thanks Theresa, I needed to hear that!

Then; cause I had nothin better to do I made a whole whack of envelopes!

I had a pack of Christmas papers I wasn't using!

Oh spare me; surely I'm not the only one that has stuff that doesn't get used!?

Seriously!?

These fit a 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 card.

If you're interested send me an e-mail & I'll get you the measurements!

Today, I was up & in town before breakfast.

OK, not really but there were some things I needed from the grocery store, and I wanted some new mats for the entry from Fields. Which they didn't have unpacked yet, told me to come back Tuesday!

Got the fixins for lasagna for tomorrow, and because I AM thee hostess with the mostess for this months stamp club, I started making my goodies!

I made my famous individual chocolate cheesecakes, some pepper jelly tarts, and some butter tarts (not pictured) to get started!

Hey, what if I'm busy the next 2 weekends!?

Then I started another make work project.

Gawd I'm getting soooo good at that!

The floor has needed washed since before I went to BC.

Oh puh-leeze, don't do the math!

So I got out the vacuum cleaner, as no one volunteered to do it last weekend!

And the mop & pail.

Which led to moving the water cooler to vacuum & scrub, moving the fridge out, and taking the grill thingy off the bottom front to clean the coils, which then led to scrubbing the whole thing, and boy am I glad we never get REALLY tall visitors! Then the new washer had to come out, cause someone spilt their coffee down the side of it, and the wall!

Not gonna mention any names, but his initials are Ray Luck!

Wrapped up my baking to take out to the freezer so it doesn't get ate before the par-tay!

About 4 kittens were sitting under the bird feeder I mounted on the bug zapper pole, cause someone didn't get the bird feeder pole in. AGAIN, I'm not gonna mention names!

I asked them if they were bird watching!

So now I'm done for the day!

Yup, REALLY!

Gonna make a bunch more envelopes (it's a BIG paper pack!), maybe have a nap (ha) or just chill in the craft room!

I need a birthday card for my friend Gloria!

Oh yeah, Curt (sigh ) I CAN'T blab about my day or week or whatever when I enter cards for a challenge! Not that I want to win anything, it keeps me on track for getting my Christmas cards done!

They just want a link to the cards nothin else!

What's with that anyhoo!

Have a great rest of the weekend people!

Ta ta for now!

When you are reluctant to change, think of the beauty of autumn.-Unknown

Happy Daylight Savings time!
Like that makes a difference with my sleeping habbits!

Still no snow...knock on wood!
It tried this morning, but didn't get too serious about it!
Between yesterday& today, I've got a pile of stuff done.....I did say to myself a while ago that someone needed to vacum, but no one volunteered, so...............

I put up another motion light yesterday, as the one on the north side didn't need any motion to turn on....it just stayed on!
Today I had a do-over!
The new light didn't work, thankfully it was just the bulb, which I had in wrong!
Lesson there folks, start with the easiest thing first!

Got 1 and some bags of apples in the freezer & made 2 pies!

I also have to do something with the pears, and believe it or not, found a pie recipe for them.
I'll try it later this week!
Got the bag of peppers in the freezer, defrosted the beer fridge in the entry; ok, so it's technically NOT the beer fridge; it has beer in it!
And yes, it's THAT old  it has to be defrosted....remember those!?! I figure it's over 30 years old!
Still doing laundry, put out my big a$$ bird feeder I got at mom's in June.
Cleaned a bathroom, cle3aned the bathroom fan, fed cats, & hauled cat food from one cat house to another!
The old washer got hauled away
Dug out my snow shovel...who are we kidding, I'm gonna need it one of these days!
Got out the roof rake & broom for the skylight & roof.
Put Halloween away. Brought out some snow people!
Coffeed with some GF's that came out yesterday.
Got a roast & fixins in the slow cooker, and baked a loaf of bread. Don't get excited, it was a mix I found in the process of defrosting......I added a can of beer to it, mixed it up and wah la! Sure smells good!

I had a Stamp Club the night before I left for moms.

This next one is the wonky Birthday card. I say that because in order for it to stay open to be displayed, the ribbon just fall down & sits there!

Also, the BIG circle thingy on the front!

We made another Birthday Card, but I didn't finish.

Hey, she just gives suggestions....we don't have to play along!

I'll finish it up, and show you!

I've made some SAS4K's (Canada) cards.

There's a link at the top right of the blog.

We're playing in Alberta now!

I got some awesome colors of embossing powder so made the following!

I made 3 others with a different saying.

Then I made 6 Christmas cards for them.

I got the inspiration here!

I didn't have kraft card stock, so used ivory.

I'm going to make some Christmas tags, then send them in!

I've been making treats for my Stamp Club.

We're not meeting in December so have to be done this month!

I'll show you those when I'm finished too.

I volunteered to help with appetizers for a Cancer fundraiser the town is having on November 19th.

I know, I know; JUST SAY NO!

But my little mind says 'JUST DO IT'!

I also volunteered to drive the handi van for the community run on Thursdays.

My turns are the next 2 Thursdays!

We get a turn about every 9 or 10 weeks, so figured I could handle that!

Better go, you guys have a great week!

Ta ta for now!
