Nothing will work unless you do. ---Maya Angelou

Good morning peeps!
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends!
I have made a few cards.
I'll show you them, and then you can get on with your day!

I needed 2 wedding cards, so whipped up 2 standbys!
(Mom needed one!)


 I made a Halloween wreath from a Stampin' Up kit and took it to my mom!
The color is really off here! It's all quite orange!
Look for the purple spider. It's put together with beads!


 |Kalen's Halloween card. I stopped last Sunday on my way home & had lunch with him & 2 of his room mates to the Rusty Nail Bistro, which is to the west of Grouchy Daddy's!

 My drive was beautiful!
Mother Nature was wonderful in all her Fall Splender!
Our leaves are long gone, we have such horrible winds!


 We also had to stop for this procession!
A push & pull load! It's so heavy that there's a semi at the front, and one at the back!

 Sorry the picture is crappy!
I could only find this on Pinterest!
I guess I'd have to know the trucking company! 

The kids are all away!
Vanessa & Harley are gone to a concert in Edmonton.
Kalen took my nephew Shawn & went to grammas!
This is the first time in about 2 years that I didn't have any projects at Vanessas'! 
I've been grocery shopping, filled the van with gas, I'm on my 4th load of laundry! 
The plan is to make a pie or 2, work on my Halloween bags for my peeps, maybe make a card, make my pumpkin spice pumpkin shaped chocolates for on top of my Halloween cupcakes for work, make stuffing, I bought a chicken! Peggy is coming for supper tomorrow. I also took her with me on my trip and dropped her off at her daughters!
I need to get the outside of my windows washed either later today or tomorrow morning. I got cabbage roles |& perogies from the Farmers Market yesterday, they're thawing in the fridge!
I have an easy recipe for  sugar scrub I want to try. I have a 25 lb. bag of apples sitting on my floor to do something with, and I brought the brand new coveralls home from work to pick the patch off the back!
We moved into our new (to us) shop & office.
I can probably walk there if I have to!
There was a box of brand new coveralls; if someone would pick the patch off the back, we can use them!
I might or might not have volunteered!
I have a dentist appointment Tuesday morning, and I finally (after whining) get to see the orthopedic surgeon on Oct 22!
I can live with the pain, it would just be another ache, but the swelling bothers me!I want to know what he put in there!
So this has taken me forever cause I keep getting side tracked on the internet by stuff like this!
 
Anyhoo, have a great weekend people!

Hope you're all well! Talk to ya later!!

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. - Thomas Edison

I am seriously trying to get my $#!& together to blog somewhat regularly..........it's not working!
|I HAVE made some cards, only because my aunt ordered them, and I'm going there this week! 

I'll show you those, then you can get on with the rest of your Sunday!

Wedding card my mom requested for this weekends wedding!
I'm meeting her in southern Alberta.


 One of the 2 Christmas cards I did.
The die cut church & trees is really quite glittery, but of course is not showing up!


 I just have to put the last 2 cards together this afternoon!
I've also made 2 Halloween cards........
I'll show you those when I get back!

The kids have hooked me up with Netflix. 
Harley figured out how I can upload photos, and got my wireless printer to work on my new laptop!
I'm in business!

One of our friends families built a cabin down by the river on their land.
This was last months photo!


 This was yesterday!



 We just go hang out for the day!
We take lunch & something for our coffee, and it's an all day visiting session!
We were missing one of our peeps, hope she's feeling better!

This will be a short week for me, as I'm leaving Thursday for the wedding!
We're moving our office closer to town.
Hopefully before I leave!
I'm getting a new windshield on Tuesday, and we have our monthly meeting(supper)! 
The van gets cleaned on Wednesday, supper with some gf's,  & I have a doctors appointment to see when I can get the screws out of my foot.
They are causing me a lot of grief!
Good thing it didn't rain all summer, I couldn't even get my rubber boots on!
I asked this same doctor about 6 weeks ago about getting the screws out of my foot, and he said  if he needed to fax a note or something they would.
The following day one of the women working at the clinic called me & said that the letter they had got from my surgeon, said that he'd take them out after a year.
So I'm thinking .....that was that!
My surgeon told me, he could take them out after 6 months.
He also sent me to physiotherapy to "Retrain my gait."
We can't 'retrain my gait' as long as I'm waiting for it to hurt while I'm walking!
It doesn't; but it might!
It's just so swollen & bruised all the time.
And tight, and hot, and angry!!!
I have a metal allergy........pretty sure they used deck screws and they need to come out! 
The people at the clinic are gonna jerk me around so it will be a year before the screws come out!!!!

Anyhoo, that's what's been going on!
Hamburgers for supper tonight at the kids!
I've already been there to help hang the Guest Board from the social!
I didn't make a dessert  but I did make cookies, and took some there!

Hope you're all well!
I' really hoping to make this a weekly thing, and maybe even join a challenge or 2! Famous last words!
Talk to ya later!!
