Family Day!

That's what day it is!
I debated going to work, and banking my hours for another day, but decided to stay home!
Had a visit yesterday with some friends that have moved away!
The kids call me Gramma Gail.
Long story....!
I told them I'd come for a sleep over in June!

Vanessa made a surprise visit home last night!
And I DO MEAN SURPRISE!
That girl can't keep a secret!
She left before lunch today!

We had our Stamp Club last Thursday....this is what we did.

I really like this one.
I couldn't get my ribbon to lay right, so I only have the piece going around!


We made pansies for this one, out of a butterfly punch!
I was having a heck of a ribbon night!


This one is cute!
The barrel is the cupcake bottom from a stamp, andyou could have anything coming out of the basket.
Some of the girls did cherries.


This last one is too busy for me. Or maybe I'm not liking the pink & orange....I dunno!
And it's stamped crooked.
The girl beside me said, "Good enough."
But really it isn't!


Oh well, some kid will get it that doesn't know! And will be HAPPY!

This big guy I saw on the way to work on Friday!
Look how deep the snow is!


It was still sort of dark!

Now I've done the vacuuming, laundry, washed floors, put some of the snowmen away, burnt the garbage, walked on the treadmill.....a whole whack of stuff that needed done!
Now I'm going to play!

Well, stamp & stuff, you know!
I need a background for a card I want to make, and I found an awesome tutorial for clouds, thought I'd saved it, but nooooooo!
Oh well, I'll see what I can come up with.
I went to check out Michelle Zindorf tutorials, she makes everything look sooo easy,  I'll wing it!
I don't have a lot of stamp colors, but did order more last week, so if I can't make do with what I have, I'll have to wait!

Ta ta for now!

I live in my own little world, but it's ok, they know me here.

Hahahaha!

I'm a bad blogger!
Almost a week!
And I've only got a minute!
Well, you know, that can turn into a pretty long winded minute!
It's turned cold again = more chores! Or they take longer?!

Anyhoo, glad to see Curt's up to his old tricks!

Just wanted to tell you that I won this on the Fiskateers site!
Nevermind Curt!
I was in the right place at the right time!



One thing I don't understand though....is how come everyone needs a street address?
Wait, let me finish!
I know they deliver by courier, but, and I took a picture, and it didn't turn out, of the pick up card that was hung on my friend with the street addresses door!
I picked the parcel up at Canada Post!
That's the POST OFFICE!
That's where I have a box number!!!???
Us rednecks that live in a rural area, have post office box #'s.
We have legal land descriptions!
Nobody delivers!
Anyway, my friend at the PO gave me their street address and told me I could use it anytime!
Then the card goes in my PO box! Imagine that!?

This next picture is a Feller Buncher.
It just came out of the shop across the way!
These are REALLY big machines, and they're both in the yard now, so they must be done cutting the logs down out in the bush!



See this chunk of ice on the power pole!?
I spotted it on the way home from work a couple days ago!


Looky here!


Neat hey....I bet he was from Hogwarts school!
Someones owl!

Gotta go, Stamp Club tonight!
I will let you know what we make!
Have a good night!

Ta ta for now!
