Life is about timing. --Carl Lewis

Hello peeps!
This is me finding time to blog! SIGH

Welcome Shaz!

I'm leaving on Wednesday so I'll be MIA for a week or so!

WARNING: THIS NEXT CARD IS A CHIRSTMAS CARD

 

I hurried to do this before the deadline.

I couldn't even find my white stickle stuff, so used a glitter.

Went to link it up and WHOOPS..........

 

 The theme this month is Gingerbread - Create a card featuring gingerbread men/woman. To add a little interest your card must also include ribbon and at least 3 buttons.

 

Do YOU see 3 buttons and ribbon?

Me neither!

That'll learn me to leave it last minute, and not read ALL the instructions!

Oh well, 4 more Christmas cards are made!

 

Now for your environment/Entomology lesson!

See the black on the tree in the middle about 3/4's of the way up!?

Tent caterpillars!

 

 

I noticed the black spot on Friday.

 

We don't like them.

I took a picture of the tree tops, cause there'll probably be no leaves when I get home.

And after the leaves took so long to get here this year!

 

In happier news, here's a picture of the bright yellow somethings I planted in my holey boots!

 

They were on their way to the bin last fall, but I got Ray to drill holes in the bottom (in case there weren't enough) and I filled them full of dirt!

Makes a cute eye catching pop of color by the waiting bench at the outhouse!

 

 

I whipped up a set of 4 Thank You cards (each) for my mom & my aunt.

 

Yeah, yeah I know the last one has a larger black area, but I measured the patterned piece wrong!

Of course I did!

Loved the ribbon!

I told one of my older peeps at the OFH when they had flowers on the tables;

" I don't work here anymore, couldn't you gather up the ribbons in the flowers for me!?"

And she did!

 

Alrighty, my bag's half packed!

3 more sleeps!

My hair is done on Tuesday, and the van's going in for a Steam Cleaning, Detailing, full meal deal...

cause I got connections!

 

Hope everyone's well!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

Good evening people, or morning, where ever you are in the world!
The few of you who read this will be happy to know that I am grateful for little things, as soooo many have waaaay more problems than me.....makes me feel petty stressing about stupid stuff!

Here is whatès going on in my corner of the world
And Ièm pretty sure these pictures are gonna be huge, cause I stole them off the internet!

This fireès burning about 75 kms north west of here!

Theyère bringin in the BIG guns!

Itès been HOT!

You guys are used to seeing a minus in front of my temperature!

We had this problem last year, when the fire was further away and to the south east of us!
This was coming home yesterday afternoon!
Those guys by the pile of dirt are putting in the water lines....yup....weère gonna have town water!!!!Yayyyy!

This was this afternoon!

I thought it was blurry, I took several; thereès just that much smoke!

Ray was working up where the fire is, and staying in a camp, but they kicked everyone out to make room for the fire fighters!

Heès still been going to work, just staying here.

Alrighty, now that youère depressed Ièll tell you about the fun part of the week! hahaha

I went to an invitation only Stampin Up garage sale!

It started promptly at 7:00 pm!

If we were there early we could have cocktails!

I went early!

I got 8 stamp sets, some ink, embellishments, paper;

she even had a free basket, and I had to restrain myself! hahahaha

All for $60.00!

If you know ANYTHING about Stampin Up youèll know I got a lot of stuff for a steal!

It was fun, I donèt think we made a dent in her stuff though!

Got home late (on a work night); then ran around watering stuff like a mad woman!

I also made a card earlier this week!

Friends of the Library helped out with the Canada Day BBQ!

The 3 of us that were there had an impromptu meeting, as I volunteered to make a thank you card for the store manager.

Hereès the inside!

I had these metal letters that look like old typewriter keys!

Him & his family have been transfered, so by the time our next meeting rolls around in September, theyèd be gone!

I also think Bloggerès still toying with me, as every time I use an apostrophe,

I get some French thingy!

Please bear that in mind...I DID NOT put an extra E in all those words!

Or maybe itès just screwing with me as I type this! I.DONèT. KNOW!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!
