My dear friend, clear your mind of cant. --Samuel Johnson

Hello!

Thanks for dropping in!

I'll show you the card I made, then you can get on with your afternoon!

 

I made a 'keener' accordian card!

I didn't mean too, guess I'm not good at direction!

I got the inspiration here, and really; it's me, not Beate!

 

 

 

 I was happy with how it turned out!

Hopefully the recipient is too!

The brad & eyelet are covering up a few ink misfortunes,

but they work!

 

It was Administrative Professional week a while ago.

Here's what I got...just gorgeous!

 

 

Also, on a wine night Wednesday I somehow got talked into doing the decorations for birthday treat bags!

One of Vanessa's friends little guy will be 4, and he likes dinosaurs!

I made 15 of these with names!

Wasn't too bad, I cut everything out, then assembled them!

 

The previous posts saga about Thelma & Louise commences tomorrow!

My room looks like a cyclone hit it!

Apparently packing for me means; cleaning the closet!

There are clothes all over!

On the + side, I have a big bag to donate!

 

I can't wait!

I'm meeting 'Thelma' at a highway junction about an hour away, then we're off!

It will take us 3 days minimum!

I'm hoping we can play tourist and take our time!

Here's a map!

It'll be an adventure!

They couldn't wait to get rid of me at work.

I think the parting words were;

"Have a great trip, don't worry about ANY.THING.

You can fix it when you get back!"

Hahahaha!

 

I'll be home for 3 weeks, then off again to pick up mom for the Amish Auction Sale in Montana!!

 

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!



Believe you can and you're halfway there. --Theodore Roosevelt

Hello peeps!

Nice to see you!

 

I've been working on the computer for 2 hours!

Not a lot to show for it either!

I wanted to talk to you yesterday, but the battery in my camera was dead, so I couldn't show you what I've been doing!

The Avon is ordered & updated.

I've pinned my little heart out!

Peggy & I are supposed to make a sign for a friends daughters wedding, so must get our butts in gear!

The wedding is in September, which will be here soon enough!

 

I've made 2 of these! One a purplish hue, and the other a sand color.
 

 

They're for the aunts I always invite to moms in June.

So they know when the bus(me) leaves for the Amish Auction Sale in Montana!

 

I leave them blank so they can use them.

One aunt said, "Don't quit asking."

I'm getting suspicious that they just want the cards!

hahaha!

The little 'Hello' cup is clear embossed.

I kept them simple & flat, cause postage these days is crazy!

I think they'll make nice thinking of you cards! Or encouragement.

 

Not sure if I told you about the Thelma & Louise trip I'm going on!?

Anyhoo, my friend stayed with me earlier this week while she took a Cardiac course here in town. (She's a nurse)

This was the note I found Tuesday when I came home from work!!!

 

We had Firepit Friday last night. (3rd one of the season already!)

Also Sunday supper!

Vanessa's a big hockey fan (Ottawa Senators), and wanted her neighbors over that are moving the beginning of June.

Friday it rained so my friends & I went to the local Trade Fair!

That's where businesses show you what they got.

Obviously I didn't win anything, cause no one has called!

I made these One Hour Cinnamon Buns for dessert!

They were awsome, and a big hit!

 

It's lovely out, so when I get off here, instead of making the card I had planned I'm going to find an outdoor project to do at Vanessas!

I got them patio furniture a few weeks ago.
Happy Birthday, and Merry Christmas to them!
Done. The pressure's off!!
Maybe I'll just go sit on said furniture!!
We are going to do work on the fence, make a privacy screen (from the neighbors), and that might be all that's on the list this year!
I don't feel I can stand on a ladder for any length of time yet, so will paint the entry when I can!!

 I can stand to sand the shutters I got to make a screen for the patio!
I've been eyeing up the shutters for months, as they were on the lawn outside my living room window!
I was going to steal them in the middle of the night.
I just asked!
The answer was yes!

My friend P needed a screen & windbreak for her covered deck, so she got the left over shutters!!

Better go.
I bought a bag of baking bananas at the store yesterday, so will make Banana Bread later!

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