It's been a week of winter!
OK, not quite!
I BBQ'ed supper last Sunday!
Today, it's snowing, there's a wind, and I'm definately NOT BBQing!
I've got Chili in the slow cooker, the potatoes are peeled, and I'm going to whip up some cornmeal muffins for a change!
My cousin Carmel has a recipe blog......you should check it out!
I'm working on the laundry, and the GST, house cleaning, and scrapin'/ card makin'; in no particular order!
It's a great day to stay in!
I can hear Ray up on the roof......skylight!
He went up there all by himself, I didn't have to say; "You gonna clean the roof off?"
And he didn't have to say; "It's not done snowing."!

I spent the day yesterday, doing a load of laundry before I went to town.
Got my hair done......yea, it was time!
Then spent the afternoon, watching Harry Potter with little P, eating junk food, and I crocheted some flowers for cards/ scrapbook pages, whatever!
We watched the first 2, now I have to make a date for the next 2.
Might be this Saturday if I can't think of anything pressing to do! HA!

I built my desk earlier this week, and after not seeing Ray for days (we have different schedules), flipped it upside down, and wiggled it in here!
I'm now wired in the craft room!

And here's a couple pictures of my storage in my messy craft room.

But hey, I pretty much know where everything is!

Except.......and you knew there had to be a BUT!, I haven't found a good paper solution!

I have them sorted by occasions.......then.......nothin'!

I spend a lot of time trying to find the perfect color to 'go with'!

I spent all my allowance last November on these storage cubes from Michaels, and I really like them!
The desk is also 8 cubes put together, with the desk option on!
That gives me total working surface of 60 1/2" X 29".
Everything I use a lot is within reach!
I have wire DVD holders for my stamps I'm currently using, and I change them out as needed.

I could be perfectly happy in this room for days!
I have a phone, TV(with satellite receiver), DVD and VHS player, and now my computer!
The bathroom is right next door! I'm a HAPPY CAMPER!

I also told Ray I was having a nap this afternoon, so if he came home and I was flopped on the loveseat, "Don't talk to me unless my eyes are open!"
He laughed.

Better go, get something done!
Talk to you later.....

Ta ta for now!

Old Man Winter is Here!

Sorry I didn't take pictures, but it snowed last night, and it's probably here to stay as it is -10 out there already!
Plugged the van in.....YUP, had to find the block heater cord, and plugged it it!
Hoping the water situation is cleared up....literally!
Had muddy water yesterday, so Ray had to go get the boat AGAIN!
Hopefully it's fixed, and won't freeze up or anything crazy!
Remember my sewer unthawing episode last year? Maybe it was this spring!
I found it for you! It was in January!

Found some giveaways for ya!
Bakerella is just for you people in the USA this time!
Jillibean Soup blog has 10 days of giveaways! Might have to scroll down!
And I found this, Organized Chaos, for you too!
Enter, and Good Luck!

I forgot to show you this!

I took that in GP, the day of the concert!
People worry me!
I mean, DO YOU NEED A GUN?
ARE YOU GOING TO BUY ONE TO GET TRACY LAWRENCE TICKETS?
What's the reasoning here?
The tickets were waaaaay cheaper than buying a gun!?
And........those people buying the guns, are they gonna bring them to the concert?!
GAWD!

Just like everytime I go to my little independent scrapbooking place.
I walk outside and the sandwich board I walk into is,
"Want a Rose on Your Rump, or a Ring in Your Thing?"
No, she's really NOT in a seedy part of town!
And I laughed the first time I saw it!
After months of that, you'd think they'd come up with something different!
What Is The Attraction?
Or am I too old to get it?! (You know, kinda like the bar scene!)
I'd really forgot how, obnoxious and scary, drunk 20 year olds were!
Then I wondered if the nice bouncers (who looked 12) at the bar, made sure everyone got into a cab when they left!?

I was at my other job today....I was the ONLY one there, and poor V's gonna go nuts if we don't get this discussed and settled soon!
She calls me every Monday!
They're getting ready for logging, cause a lot of camp shacks & equipment left the yard today!

Better go, we spent yesterday & some of Saturday cleaning up some more dead willows!
I have a meeting tomorrow in Berwyn!
Gonna go see if I can find an episode of Criminal Minds!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!
