"Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out." John Wooden

Good morning!

Did get a card made before I left for Arizona!
Kalen's birthday was yesterday!



You pull the tab at the bottom! 
Read it bottom to top!
The little slits were to hold gift cards!

Had a wonderful visit in Arizona!
My friends winter down there, so had a blast. One day there were 8 of us hanging out!


Desert sunset.

We hung out one day at the Gila River.
We then drove in a 4WD to an old train trestle, & tunnel that went to an old copper mine!
Great day!
We also took in the Pima Air & Space Museum at Tucson.
Very interesting!
We also spent a few hours watching the skydivers at Eloy!
Went shopping, got to go to Hobby Lobby!
I DID behave, I spent less than $30.00!
I needed a die with numbers!
Ate out a few times. Phoenix area was having a heat wave the first week I was there! Temperatures in the high 90's!
The friend I stayed with had her house painted while I was there!
I felt like we were in a horror movie with the windows & doors all plastic-ed up! 
The crew came just before 8:30 am, and were done by 4:30!
We were lazy & watched the Divergent movie series!

I'll be tired forever!

In other news, our craft is done! Good thing it's been warm out! Never too early for firepit Friday!






These are like sandwich boards, only mine is without the sandwich!
It will just lean! Mine's on the left. I don't have anything on my scarecrow hat.......
Isn't it interesting how everyone does the same thing, and they all turn out so different!

This little guy had a milestone while I was away!




He reaches for things now, and everything goes in the mouth!!

Better go!

Hope you're all well!
Have a great day!
Talk to ya later!

believe anything is possible, I see opportunity when others see impossibility. --John Assaraf

Good day everyone!
We have had another "Extreme cold weather warning" this morning!

Bryson sent me Valentine flowers to my work! I asked if he used money out of his piggy bank!



 I did get the red velvet cupcakes frosted.
Note to self: Do NOT make a double batch!
I had cupcakes for Monday supper, work, and to give away!



Got my laundry detergent made!
Next time I'll save the receipts to let you know the cost.
It takes about 20-30 minutes to put together, 
and this lasts me a year.
Arm & Hammer washing soda was the hardest to find!
I ended up ordering online, and picking it up at a local store. 
Note: speaking of ordering online, I did get reimbursed on my Mastercard from being scammed before Christmas.
I think because I called right away, did everything they suggested, and saved every scrap of email etc. from the scammers.


I did get a card made for St. Patrick's Day!





I have watched this happy little dumpling!




He's starting to giggle. It's funny. 
He also uses his 'outside' voice for conversations! 

We were at the last show; didn't get back to our hotel room until after midnight!
One of the guys at work said that 'this year he's seen George Strait, and Garth Brooks, what's left?"
Concert was awesome, one of the best I've been to, and I've been to a few!

 We took the LRT from Kingsway.
Roger's Place is amazing. We met Kalen there for supper on Saturday! 
Had a root canal last Monday!

Next up is Arizona!
Leaving next Wednesday (the 15th) for 2 weeks.
Finished Friday night craft. 
I'll have to pick it up this week!

Better go, I've got a few cards to make before I get to go anywhere!

Also have to take dessert up the alley & do baked potatoes etc. for Sunday supper.
Call us crazy, we're BBQing! 

Hope you're all well! 
Talk to ya later, stay warm!
