Hello!

Hope you are well!  

 I made this tag/ bookmark!

I found a small packet of these already stamped Bookmark sized tags at my Thrift store! I looked it up and it's Penny Black Labor of Love. colored with Ohuhu markers! And inked the background with my dirty stencil brushes!

I honestly don't know when I have time to craft! I have been busy volunteering! Vanessa calls any volunteering I do; my unpaid job! 

The last 2 days were spent at the fall Fair. If I don't volunteer, I don't go! This year my shift in the Fund A Friday (Library) booth ended Friday night so I was able to watch the Farmer Olympics! Which was hilarious! 

Lots of vendors, food trucks, fair entries and our booth was right across from the Kids Zone, which itself was pretty entertaining! 

I have become a regular at Canasta so that takes up my Monday. Tuesday mornings are spent restocking the book room at the library! Wednesday mornings are the Tuck Shop until 1pm. Thursdays Scrabble is from 11:30-1:30. I guess I usually have Friday and the weekend free!

Friends of the Library are planning our fall book sale! 

Fund a Friday bunch are planning a Pumpkin Hayride, I said I would volunteer for! I missed last years! 

I made salsa yesterday when I came home from the Fair! 

I think dilled carrots are the only thing left on my list!

And a few of us are going to the movie tonight, because we need a laugh! It's Coyote vs. Acme! 

I have been unwinding in the evening doing some coloring when I have a minute!

Tag-along (and ATC's) The theme is circles. If there's not an anything goes, I'm going to stretch and say the snails are circles! 

I'm off to visit my mom on this rainy morning!

Talk to ya later!

 Hello everyone.

I have a few cards. Except Brysons!? I made his first, I don't know what happened, his mom says she will send a pic when it gets there!

I did make Bryson an Easter bookmark, and mom got one by default. The sheet of paper made 2!

I got the pattern here!

This next one is moms.

It is pretty cheerful!

Who said, "what is that a wizard?'

I said it's a gnome, but it can be a wizard if you like.

Vanessa's

I got this here!

 

I have also been crocheting. Again.

To pass the time at my volunteer job.

This will be a plastic (grocery bag) holder & dispenser. I found it here. Only about 30 more rows to go.

That's all I got.

Still doing yard work.

Will make supper tomorrow night for the sisters.

Sheetpan quesadillas.  I use chicken breasts and olive oil instead of the butter.

They are so easy & a big hit. I usually have the stuff on hand. Serve it with a salad, and done!

Better go.

Stay safe. I find even though they lifted most of the mandates we had, I am still wearing a mask if I can't stay 6 feet away from people. And, yup, still ordering my groceries online, then picking them up.

Talk to ya later!

 Hello!

I will show you my Valentine's cards so you can get on with your day!

Brysons. 

Because he knows what a narwhal is!?

Kalens.

I must think this is a 'guy' heart. 

I used the same image for him last year!

I did add a charm, because he had bought a house in town!

Moms.

Vanessa & Harleys.

A fun shaker card.

I got a jar image off the internet, and cut it out!

Then I stamped 'conversation candy' hearts, and cut them out.

I am buying a new vehicle this year (maybe)!

I am sending Vanessa the 'build your own hybrid' that I found on the FORD site. She works at Ford. I am hoping to get a friends and family discount!

So I made Bryson a bookmark.

He likes the annoying goat in the Grinch movie he loves.

 

I also, because I don't have enough to do, started volunteering at a little shop here in town.

I signed up as a 'spare' but immediately had my own little 3 hour shift.

I'm ok with it. It is run on donations and volunteers, and all money raised goes to our local hospital.

 

 I have been making cards.

 I have a few more on the go. Had to wait for the bags to put them in. I got some bags that will show the inside, because I stamped in some!

It has been quite lovely here.

Kalen has been moving; the piles in the sunroom, garage, and garden shed are going down.

I have made some Birthday cards, get well, and thinking of you. I will have to see if I took pictures.

My brother came for a short visit last weekend. Pretty sure he's the favorite!

I better go and make some lunch, before my mom eats all the cookies again, and blames me!

My aunt is coming this afternoon to help me change the flag outside. It's tattered, and hung up on itself!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wash your hands, wear your mask, and stay safe!
