May you live every day of your life. --Jonathan Swift

HAPPY CANADA DAY!
 
Well, it's about time I say!
Holy Moly there's been a lot going on.........
Most of it good!
Ah heck, it's all good!

These 2 said "I DO" on Thursday June 25, 2015 in Creston, B.C.
 

 
I wasn't there, but my mom was.
According to Vanessa, she was the Maid of Honor, Bridesmaid & Flower Girl, all rolled into one!
My mom said it was perfect.
Just how things should be done;
 and when she asked what they were doing with the $20-$30 Thousand they were saving on a wedding, Vanessa replied that they were saving up for siding for the house! How practical is that!?
A BBQ social is planned for next month.....
I'm gonna be busy! hahahaha
 
Anyhoo, that was the BIG news.
Before I went to the Amish Auction Sale, I needed to make 2 cards.
Vanessa needed a 'really nice' Thank You card...as per my mother!
 
 
This was for the lady that performed the ceremony.
 
Also, I needed a birthday card for Harley, Vanessa's other half, as his birthday was the day of the sale!
 
 
And, over at this post was my mom's Mother's Day card!
She told me I've come a long way.
She figures this one was made when I was 10 or 11.



 
She keeps stuff like that!
Hahahaha!
 
Vanessa & Harley left the day I got back from the auction; June 20.
So all last week I painted like a crazy women at their place!
I tell people I do what I want over there, but really,
the paint is bought, or it's what they want done!
I painted the stairs & landing in their entry to freshen it up.
The shutters I was making the screen out of got done, and put together!
Here's the mess it was made to hide.
 
 
And here's where it's living!

 
I have also worked, worked the casino, attended a Birthday Party for a 1 year old, painted the privacy wall, whipper snipped over at their place, and I have a wedding to go to on Saturday!
We had fire pit Tuesday last night, until the thunder storm broke us up, and I had to call for a ride home!!
 
Better go, hope you're all well.
I'll put pictures of the Auction up next time.
Hopefully not a month from now.
I also whipped up a birthday card Monday night and forgot to take a picture, and I'm making a card for the wedding!
Talk to ya later!

If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary. --Jim Rohn

Hello!!!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned!
 
I DO have a card!
I needed it for our monthly get together!
I cheated & used rub ons for the front!
Because I might have a large hoard stash of them!
 
 
I'm going to my 'dear friends' place shortly.
To show her how to prune tomatoes so you get an awesome harvest!
I only ever had 12 plants in my garden & got 50-100 lbs. every year!
My friend D & I saw this wonderful playhouse one night while taking a drive around town!

 
I leave Wednesday for the Amish Auction Sale!
 
I've been to the dentist twice!
My surgeon for a check up!
He'll remove the screws in my foot after 6 months.
Yikes!
Of course I want to be awake!
I need to make sure that his power tool is in reverse!!
 
It's fence painting day over at Vanessas!
After I come back from pruning tomatoes, that's what I'll be doing.
It's supposed to be really hot out today, but is overcast, so should be perfect!
 
Better run, hope you're allowell!
Talk to ya later!
