Happy Thanksgiving my American peeps!
You know Saturday I went & helped make Hors d'oeuvres for the Cancer fundraiser.
After 6 dozen deviled eggs, and 200+ Cherry tomatoes, a piece of basil, and a piece of Bocconcini cheese on a fancy stick, drizzled with olive oil & balsamic vinegar........I dunno if I ever want to see another egg! OR cherry tomato!
There were only 4 of us there Saturday morning to help.
These were the centerpieces.
There was also going to be a Silent Auction.
I thought this chair was interesting!
Apparently they raised over $75,000.00!
Sunday I didn't do too much of anything, believe it or not!
Monday night I baked some stuff for Christmas...it's really creeping up fast!
Last night I had a Friends of the Library meeting.
Yea, we're still friends, nobody got mad at anybody!
We'll see how that is by casino time!
Tonight I did dinner with the GF's, it was steak night at the hotel, and got the AVON ordered!
I DID make some cards!
This next one is for Curt!
Well, not for Curt literally, but I hope I did him proud!
(He's the KING of House Mouse!)
It's my mom's Christmas card, she likes mice!
I went over the streamers & bows on the presents with an embossing pen & clear embossed them.
I also stamped it in a brown & clear embossed it, hoping that would keep me between the lines;
so it's quite sparkly!
I also made a mess trying this wax paper embossing technique that I found here!
But I love how it turned out!
These next 2 cards are made with it!
OK, that's not thee only distress ink I used!
I screwed up the left side of the top card...hence the border!
Last night when I got home, my cord to plug the van in wasn't working!
When it gets to -40 and more, we need plugged in!
I want to smack those scientists (or whatever) silly that say you don't have to start your vehicle and warm it up!
Ha, they must live in Hawaii!
Anyhoo, since Shadow got her heated dog bed, I had to plug into the pump house, and we didn't have a cord long enough, so snow got in the cords & shorted them out!
We had longer cords, but they were missing an end or 2!
Here's one I put an end on, and another one getting worked on!
I know you're going to ask how I knew which wire to attach where;
just want you to know that I'm a girl; I like stuff organized and co-ordinated!
So I attached the green wire to the green screw, the black to the gold, and the white to the silver!
See the logic there!?
Doesn't matter, they all worked!
This deer wanted to play chicken on the road tonight after work!
He moved first!
I saw this guy on my way back from town this afternoon!
Yup, I'm stopped in the middle of a backroad taking pictures and holding up traffic!
OH well!
Tomorrow night I'm making poppycock and maybe some fudge.
Friday I said I'd help out for Happy Hour at the old folks home.
Saturday I'm taking the handi van & the lodge peeps to the Christmas craft sale!
Better go, have a great rest of the week!
Ta ta for now!
