Live Like There's No Midnight - Cinderella

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!

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:

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!
