The more I want to get something done, the less I call it work.--Richard Bach

Happy Weekend everyone!
Vanessa & a friend are on their way to spend the day!
I KNOW! Hardly light out and she already called!
Got lunch under control!
We're having pulled pork (not really; it's buffalo) buns with all the fixins, I made a pasta salad last night, and I'm going to try some Spinach & Cheese mini Frittatas!

It's been getting down to -30 overnight.
We had a full moon this week, and one morning at 4 AM.....I was looking outside and my vehicle wasn't plugged in! horrors!
Out I went in my comfy cozy Rudolph jammies to plug it in!
See, there's light at the end of the extension cord, so when it is -30 or -40 I can see that it's plugged in!
I digress; I have horrible sleeping habits, and I really love the way it looks outside when the moon is full, kinda like someone turned a light on......one that leaves shadows here and there, and sparkly snow in other places! So pretty! (Except for the cold!)

Here's a Stampscape for ya!
These next pictures remind me (sadly) of the fiasco of this post!
hahahaha!








These next cards are going in the stash for SAS4K's (Canada)!
Should be on their way to Lynnette shortly!
You shoud check out my friend Theresa's blog!
She made an awesome card for a SAS4K's challenge!

There's a lot of variations of this next card on the web!



This next one says 'Your Fantastic' on the inside!




I did some of these Easter cards, put Dragonflys in the corners for the girls, and ants on some for boys!



Better go! Gotta get the laundry done, get the cupcakes baked......hey, with 'The Help' coming,
they can ice them, and decorate them! I'll supervise!

Hope your keeping warm & busy!
Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

Craft a Scene- February Challenge

Craft a Scene: Challenge # 2

Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to create a winter scene with scenic stamps. If you are not sure what we mean by scenic stamps you can check out our new tab "Scenic Stamps" where we have listed several companies with links to their stores. These are not the only companies to use, but it is a good representation of what we are looking for.

I tried..........really tried this time!!!




Let me tell you these challenges are work!
WORK I tell ya!
And the darn picture's crooked! Aaarrggghhhhh!
Who knew I don't have great inks, or styluses, or any knowledge whatsoever on how to make a scene!
Well, on paper anyhoo!!!
Who knew you could get so stressed out over a tiny piece of paper!?!
Glossy no less!
Tip I learned....fabric paint should not be used over inks!
My white picked up the colors of the rocks and the cabin!
Ah well, I got a month to rest up....NOT!
Gonna practice Making a Scene! (On paper!)

I'm happy to say I'm done....until the next House Mouse challenge, which I think is Monday!

I'm not sure how long I can keep this pace up!

hahaha
Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now
