Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. --Marcel Proust

Hello!
I'd like to tell you I have a dozen pictures of cards or something I've completed.....
but I don't!

I'm not sure where the time goes!
I only know it moves faster as you get older!

I think it's only snowed twice this week!
It's actually been warm, above 0, and the sun has been shining!

Since it's only daylight hours on the weekend for me to watch the birds, I had to take a picture of this yellow one last week to send to a gf!
Ok, it's light when I get home, but only the chickadees, and assorted sparrows & wrens are eating!
First time I'd seen these!

 
 
Here are some with a Pine Grosbeak!

 
This owl has been in the pasture 3 out of 5 days last week!
I took several pictures, never sure if he was looking my way......

 
until I downloaded the pics!
Not sure what kind he is, I've sent the picture to the gf!

 
I stayed late 2 nights at work this week.
Phone calls from various gov't and non gov't agencies......
Had dinner with the gf's on Wednesday,
ran to town Friday night while the theatre was open to pick up gift certificates,
and Thursday night I went to a card workshop!

 
It was SU, and the demonstrator showed us some MUST HAVE
new product...hahahaha
I had already sent her an order when the little Spring catalogue came out!
You'll be proud,
I didn't feel the need to add to my order!
Although that embossing folder is quite lovely!!!!
 
I do have a project on the go...
I screwed it up
(READ: I'm not happy with it),
so will have another shot maybe today....
I'm going to make pie later, so we'll see how the card making goes!
 
I've also misplaced a stamp set,
A BIG one!
This might require me to clean up more of the craft room.......
Maybe I just 'think' I bought it!?
OMG, I'm losing my mind!
Maybe I'll start in the stamp binder,
 see if I photocopied the set...
yeah, I'll do that!
 
Gonna be a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
