Life is about timing. --Carl Lewis

Hello peeps!
This is me finding time to blog! SIGH

Welcome Shaz!

I'm leaving on Wednesday so I'll be MIA for a week or so!

WARNING: THIS NEXT CARD IS A CHIRSTMAS CARD

 
I hurried to do this before the deadline.
I couldn't even find my white stickle stuff, so used a glitter.
Went to link it up and WHOOPS..........
 
 
Do YOU see 3 buttons and ribbon?
Me neither!
That'll learn me to leave it last minute, and not read ALL the instructions!
Oh well, 4 more Christmas cards are made!
 
Now for your environment/Entomology lesson!
See the black on the tree in the middle about 3/4's of the way up!?
 
 
I noticed the black spot on Friday.



 
We don't like them.
I took a picture of the tree tops, cause there'll probably be no leaves when I get home.
And after the leaves took so long to get here this year!

 
In happier news, here's a picture of the bright yellow somethings I planted in my holey boots!

 
They were on their way to the bin last fall, but I got Ray to drill holes in the bottom (in case there weren't enough) and I filled them full of dirt!
Makes a cute eye catching pop of color by the waiting bench at the outhouse!
 
 
I whipped up a set of 4 Thank You cards (each) for my mom & my aunt.

 
Yeah, yeah I know the last one has a larger black area, but I measured the patterned piece wrong!
Of course I did!
Loved the ribbon!
I told one of my older peeps at the OFH when they had flowers on the tables;
" I don't work here anymore, couldn't you gather up the ribbons in the flowers for me!?"
And she did!
 
Alrighty, my bag's half packed!
3 more sleeps!
My hair is done on Tuesday, and the van's going in for a Steam Cleaning, Detailing, full meal deal...
cause I got connections!
 
Hope everyone's well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge

 
Our super talented Teamie Stacy Morgan is hosting this Challenge and has chosen...

* FLOWER / FLOUR POWER *

Use a House Mouse, Gruffie or Happy Hopper with Flowers or cooking Flour... your choice.
 
 
I had a minute yesterday, so thought I could play along!
 
I also, and very unintentionally, channeled Dorte for this card!
 
Right down to the same image, same die, and same color!
 
In my defense, I picked out the paisley first, then built from there!
 
I hope she's not offended! sigh
 
I also ran around like a mad woman this morning trying to get a great photo.
 
In the sun, out of the sun, difused light..............
 
So I'm sorry about this!
 
 
 

 
I WILL put a sentiment on it when I need this card.
 
It's 5" X 5", and will probably go to one of the gf's for their moms birthday!
 
You still have time to play along!
 
 
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
