You must do the things you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt

Hello!
Happy New Year!
I know, Valentine's Day is this week!
It was -36C this morning! 

Well, I have a treat for you!
I DID make Valentine cards! Only 2 made it on to the camera!
I'll show them to you first, then you can get on with your day!

  
Sorry about the quality of the pics!
I just don't have a great place to photograph pictures in this place!
The first one is for Brysons' parents!
The second is for Bryson!
It was the hardest, shcmeryist, blotchiest card I've made in forever!
Arghh! It was awesome in my head!
The bug is embossed in black, then I added flocking!
He liked it! That's all that matters!

So I hope everyone is well, and I will get to visiting blogs, as soon as I have a minute! I have been thinking of you all!

Been working on cards for the Family Reunion this summer.
We always have a silent auction, and our goods are supposed to be home made! 

Been to a movie or two!
I did make tiny little Valentine treat boxes for the women at our monthly meeting for January.
I have been the after Day Care care!
I also usually have him on Mondays!
It's Alberta's Family Day this weekend, and I'm going to visit friends! Bryson's parents have Monday off, so I will have a day off!! Someone will pick him up Friday so I can leave right after work.
I have an evil cough I can't get rid of!
I did have a cold just after New Years, and coughed for 2 weeks.
The cough is back with a vengeance! Pretty sure I have shares in Fisherman's Friend lozenges!

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

 

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today. ...

I'm not getting any better at this!

Got through Halloween, and then BAM it's Christmas!

I guess November was in there!

Had a visit with Kalen & Megan in November!

I AM ready for Christmas.

As you know, I buy the kids something during the year that they want or will use. Pressure's off.

I put money in with Vanessa for Kalen & Megan to go to an NHL game. Oilers vs Senators. That was in October. I did the crazy sock thing for them to take to my moms for Christmas

Vanessa wanted to try a new face cream product, so I bought it for her. She loves it!

I donated money to Harleys' fireworks fund.

Bryson will get money for his RESP; cause gramma buys him stuff all the time! 

I DID do the family advent calendar for them!

Bryson went to visit Santa yesterday. Loved him from a distance! Was real excited to see him! Then this!

I have been baking and creating.

Here's today's offerings!

I did laundry, watched movies, and just got busy!

Arthur Christmas is a good family movie.

I watched A Walk in the Woods last weekend, and today I watched Rise of the Guardians!

Brysons card, There's tons of ideas on Pinterest!

And some tags I made:

It has been really warm here!
I don't like it when it gets warm, and it's the middle of winter!
However I was sick of the snow that didn't stop in November!

We've had our company Christmas party already.
I have a few more things to attend, a casino between Christmas & New Years, and good friends coming to stay for a visit when I get back from the casino!
Life is good( and busy)!

Hope all is well with you!
Talk to ya later!
