WARNING:

This post may contain a Christmas Card!

 

Holy Moly the first post in a long while is a Christmas card!

 Thanks for sticking with me!

Our summer is so short; I've been cleaning out the outside sheds, sea can, etc.!

It's been really hot, hot, hot!

Last night I wanted to go to bed about 6:30 pm; instead I made a card!

 

I've had the stitched topper sitting on my desk for a while.

It was really hard to photograph!

 

 

Even the thread I used was metallic.

 

I'm linking this up over at:

 

Christmas Cards All Year 'Round for their August Challenge:

 The theme this time is Sparkle & Shine.

Simply create a card that has glitter, sparkle, gems, pearls etc.

 

Completely Christmas:

Christmas anything goes......

 

Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra:

This challenge will last for the whole month of August- anything goes as long as it's Christmas - it doesn't have to be a card, you can link any project as long as it's Christmas!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

I was home alone all week, so did what I wanted, when I wanted to.

Ok, there were limits! The grass got mowed, the seldom used appliance cupboard got cleaned, I sold some stuff on a local Buy, Sell, Trade on Facebook, I went to Peace River for an evening, went to a retirement party, watched within the last half hour of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (then the cable lost signal), and Sunday supper was early so everyone could go to the Demolition Derby!
It's rodeo time!

I also made these.......



Brownie Bowl Sundaes

Epic Fail!



But they were sure yummy!!!!



Not sure what went wrong, but we usually eat our mistakes!!!

I needed a card to make up for skipping one for an occasion earlier this year!
It had to be awesome...............

I made a Never Ending Card!

OMG........I printed the instructions out in black & white.
Then in color.
And at Step 7, I had to watch the video.
3 nights of starting, and not getting anywhere; I. Got. It!
After that is was FUN!
Not sure how many I will make, but I finished it tonight.

I know the picture quality isn't great!

This is the front..........

 

Next.......

 

And then.........

 

Last one........

 

Hopefully I'll be forgiven!

 

I'd like to get in a few challenges this week; not sure how that will work out!

It's forest fire season..........

It was soooo hot last week, we didn't work on the House in town!

We're back to the grind tomorrow!

 

I DID get my firepit furniture painted!

 

Hope you're well!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!
