Ahhhhh Home!

Got home Wednesday!

Same old, same old!

Can't catch my breath!
This is what it's been doing since I left!

 

I mowed hayed the yard last night between showers!

Ray will do the rest if it doesn't rain today!

 

Now I'm showing you the obligatory holiday photos!

There's lots................

of course there is!

 

It was hot, I got sunburned and very tired, but was happy happy happy!

And no, I don't watch Duck Dynasty!

 

Here's a shot of one of the metal eagles that are on every street corner in

Libby, Montana!

 

 

Games played at the Amish Auction at Rexford, Montana!

 

 

Hahaha, the kids LOVED it!

 

I NEED this bumper sticker!

 

 

Quilts being auctioned.................

 

 

These are called "Light in the Valley".

Don't bother looking for the pattern!

 

 

Other auction items......

This was a bar with 4 bar stools!

 

 

Funky chair..........

 

Birdhouses.........

Cabins in the background!

 

Awesome chainsaw carving!

 

Tons of people...............

 

Birdhouse mom bought!

 

 

She said we had to go back 4 more times, cause she needs 5 altogether!

I was only allowed to bid up to $30.00!

 

A moose where we always eat dinner driving back after the sale.

 

Great time was had by all!

I bought 2 quilts.

One is a Mariners Compass.

The other, a Broken Star/ Split Star.

I'll have to find a link another day.........

Vanessa was coming for a sleep over, and is already here!

Can't wait for next year!

 

I aquired a lot of treasures from my favorite Scrapbooking store in Rocky Mountain House.

Scribbles & Giggles!

Maybe if they get lots of followers, they'll update their blog!

It's amazing, they have some of everything!

Because I live in Smalltown, Nowhere, I read about all the fun stuff you people use for creating!

These ladies actually show me the stuff, what it does, the drying time (hahahahaha) etc.!

 

Here's the latest treasures!

 

 

Pretty sure I'll be stopping in again when I go later this week for the

Canadian Steel Guitar Show!

My cousin Jeff is a big deal in that business!

 

So I'm home for a minute, probably won't get any crafting done, but I'll try!

 

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

Hallo People!

Gosh I missed you!
Okay, here come the requisite vacation photos!

This was in Montana! Which begs me to say, "Ya know yur a redneck when....."
And his wooden stock racks had a for sale sign painted on them!

I really liked this boot quilt at the Amish Auction sale in Rexford, Montana.

This next one is called Broken Compass.

(Sorry Daniel's in the way, they were selling a few rugs.)

Mom's iris bed with her bottle tree.

Hummingbird.

 Myrna, this one's for you!

Mom's neighbor was building a smudge!

Not really, but I guess he mows his grass, not all at once, and lights it!

These next 2 were trees cut down on someones front lawn!

Awesome!

Tunnel.

An old friend from town, who lives in the pass, in a continuing care facility.

She won't remember I was there, but I know I was!

Fun was had by all!

Even thought the sun didn't shine for more than a couple hours!

Told mother next time we go to the sale in Montana, we're going to Libby for a sleepover!

We did the tourist thing in town, I got stuff to plant from a greenhouse or 2.

Shopped in Idaho, in Bonner's Ferry & Sandpoint.

Ate at a few new places.

Went up to Crawford Bay, up past the Glass House, to the Forge, where the girls do this enameling!

We got to watch Helene make some Christmas ornaments!

It's a fun artsy place to go on a drizzly day!

Was back & forth across the line for gas & beer! hahahaha

My yard is jungle, as it's rained for 40 days & 40 nights....ok, not really, but it looks like it!

The gardens are doing awesome, I hung up the new flag for Canada Day coming up!

I got a whole whack of scrapbooking stuff, I tell ya, Rocky Mountain House has a great store called Scribbles & Giggles, and they have a bit of everything!

Spent all my allowance there!

And the aunt I made the quilt cards for........

Actually whipped up a square of the top left one!

She belongs to a group that makes quilts for people with cancer, and they're always looking for easy patterns!

So, it'll take a while, but I'll get back in the groove, I'm anxious to try out some of my new toys!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!
