Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. --Buddha

Good evening everyone!
Hope you had a great Monday!

I had a minute to play yesterday; Vanessa got the flu Friday night, and had to miss her trip to Vancouver to watch her hockey team the Ottawa Senators play.
She was flopped on the couch or in bed for most of the weekend!
Ray went for a load of wood!
Vanessa asked me last night, "Can't you call work tomorrow and tell them you need to stay home with a sick kid!?" She's 29! hahahahahaha

I'll show you the card, so you can get on with your life!!
I have an aunt; who with some friends make quilts for people with cancer.
They seperated from a Canada wide group, when they had to start paying....
WHAT..........these ladies volunteer their time and most supplies!
Anyhoo, I said I might be able to help them out with cards to go with.

I found this here!
I'd been looking for something for a while!

 
I'm not in love with the yellow,
but I'm going to find my busiest papers;
you know,
the ones we all hoard collect, and make more.
I'd like to get brave enough to sew on them!
I want to have about 12 when I go down in June!
 
I went to GP to a funeral on Friday........
Honestly, it was -37 for most of the 300 miles.
I tried to take a picture, but my camera thought it should make a movie,
and I had to take the battery out to make it stop!!
Didn't think you wanted to watch a movie about how cold it is here!!
It warmed up to -21 at one point in the day.
I got to Michaels, is it just me.......
cause I'm not liking the rearranging!
I can't find anything!
 
It was -30 something all weekend!
The stove was out yesterday morning!
I'm the first one up.......
The furnace was running, and I was drinking coffee before I decided it wasn't very warm in here!
It takes over an hour to get that sucker going!!!!
I took coffee out in a travel mug, and it cooled off right away!
Here's the stove chugging along...........
 


 
Lookit!
Your Monday morning photo of how light it's getting in the morning when I go to work!
I'll be wearing those sunglasses on my dash in no time!

 
Here's the temp!
It's warming up!

 
Have a great week people!
There's a couple challenges I have my eye on!
I'll see what I can do!
 
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

Good morning peeps!

I'm going to get this out of the way, then get to my card!!!!
We're still in the deep freeze, as it shows here!!! -38 people, and there's a wind!

Alrighty, the theme over at House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge is:

*Anything Goes*

I took this picture cause it didn't really show up.....
 
 
I wanted to use silver,
as there's silver on the bottle cap & in the image,
so used a back row of 'tickets'!
Which of course does not show up well,
and I realize now I should have stamped the other 2 tickets in the row with something!sigh
 

 
I couldn't find my bow maker (nevermind),
but I had in my stash; packages of these tiny bows from a $$ store!
I think this would work to welcome either a boy or a girl!

I'm also gonna link this up over at
I'm hoping it qualifies for
*Fit for MUM or Special Female*
 
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
