Christmas Cards All Year 'Round

WARNING: This post may contain Christmas Cards!

 

June Challenge

Another month has come and gone and it's once again time for another challenge.


This month our theme is:

TWINKLE-TWINKLE Christmas Lights

Multi-colored or clear, embossed or bling, strings or singles, vintage or new, bright or dull, broken or whole ...inspriation is limitless! Make it electric and fun.

Alrighty, another challenge done!
Doesn't matter that all I could find was these Christmas light charms!
Seriously!
With all the crap craft stuff I have you think I could do better!

Anyhoo:


Aaannnddd of course the light is sticking straight out!

Let me tell you a little about the word 'JOYFUL"!
I made 6 of these cards;
the "joyful' is a die.......
stay with me here......
Probably the 6th time I blew 'fluff' off of my card before glueing down the letters,
I was anything but JOYFUL!
Ahh well, I only lost one dot over the j and a y!

Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit. --Conrad Hilton

Hello peeps!
I AM still here!

We DID get to Edmonton, for Aunt (Sister) Agnes' 60th Anniversary Jubilee!
That's quite an accomplishment!



I DID get a mini album made for her from her 50th!


I was able to put 10 pictures in!


I've been working on 2 Challenges that are a month long thank goodness, although I'm not sure if I'll make it!!

Coming home last weekend we came across this guy having a bath!



There used to be buffalo in there, but the owner must have had the great buffalo roundup as there haven't been any for a while!

I've got a new back step with real stairs!
It's temporary until I get a deck! Bwahahahahaha!


We had to replace the much smaller step, and these ugly stairs, which have been "temporary" for the last 8 YEARS!
I was NEVER able to run outside in bare feet, and they hurt Shadows feet too!


I'm not SAD to see these go!

My irises in the forest are blooming!


Ray brought home a whole wheelbarrel full one year; I planted what I wanted, and just 'set' the rest between some trees in the forest!
They seem to like it there!

Yesterday it rained, and rained, and rained!
The house is clean again, and I got a big pot of soup made, loaf of bread, a strawberry & rhubarb pie, from my very own rhubarb!
Today I'll make some muffins for my lunch, and a rhubarb crisp, and hopefully paint the new (temporary) step!
The grass/dandelions need mowed again, but it'll have to get awful warm & sunny for that!

This weekend I'm meeting my momma here!
I tried to find the poster!
I'll visit all the friends and relatives while I'm there!

There you have it, another action packed week or 2 in the 'NORMAL' life of Gail!
Have a great week everyone!
I have been popping by to see what you're doing........

Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
