You don't have to go fast. You just have to go.

Alrighty then!
If any of you are still around, I fell off the blogging wagon again!

This little person takes up a lot of my time!
He's 19 months old.

He's a busy little guy, and I'm still working, so we spend as much time together as we can!
He's my personal yoga trainer, an awesome mimic; yesterday he said 'What the heck!'
He helps bake, clean, I pick him him up 2 weeks out of the month from day care, I spend a lot of time in his backyard, as he loves the outdoors. Listens for birds, puppies and helicopters!
Anyhoo, we're going to see some horses today after his nap 
(e i e i o) haha!

Since I am packing to go to The Amish Auction sale in Montana with my mom next Saturday, thought I'd better get on here!

Kalen's girlfriend Megan had a birthday in May!
This was the card she got.
I asked Kalen for her favorite colors, he said purple, orange & green.
I said Halloween colors!
She got purple!

 
 Bryson & I made his mom a card for Mother's Day!

It's about 3 feet long. She loved it!

This next one was Vanessa's birthday card.
Don't forget, it has to be blue and have a dragonfly!
I went with a shaker card!
 

 I watched Bryson on her birthday so her & her husband could spend a day away!
Bryson & I made her Death By Chocolate, which they didn't find in their fridge until almost 11pm; we had it the next day!

 This is the picture I sent her about 9pm that night, assuring her everything was under control!

 I made one of Vanessa's friends a baby card.
She wasn't due until yesterday, but had her baby in May!
Good thing the card was done!

That brings me to the latest attempt at getting creative with an uncooperative little person!
This is for Bryson's dad for Father's Day!
He's just like his mother in that anything on his hands & feet is 'yucky' and he sure didn't want the paint on them!!! 
I did the hand print on the canvas the same time I did the ones for his mom's card! 
I am catching on! 
Still we have blurry feet!
This was plan B, as printing the poem on vellum, and trying to mod podge it onto the canvas didn't work!
It's in a scrapbook page frame, and turned out all right! 
Also, it has 4 raised elements as the distress inks I used on the canvas didn't want to dry, and I needed this done and off my list yesterday, as I'll only be getting home from visiting with my mom on Father's Day!!

 

 
 So there you have the latest condensed version about what's going on.
I'll let you know if I get anything amazing at the Auction! 

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

I skipped a week!
I did make cards though!
Good thing my family doesn't follow my blog!
I made these limited edition Easter cards! 

 It's Bryson's hand!
He's not really a co-operative crafter! 
He's an, I'd like to hold the pencil, and why can't I have that piece of paper kind of little dude!
They did turn out great though.
I gave one to his parents; Love Bryson, and his dad asked when he had the time to make cards!
Finding the feathers was a chore! I ran into Michaels when I was in GP, and couldn't find what I wanted!
Stopped at a $ store on the way to Grimshaw, and found bags and bags of feathers for cheap!

I went to GP for the Johnny Reid concert last week.
But not before I went to emergency at the hospital the Thursday night before!
I've felt horrible forever! That day my throat & ears hurt.
I have had a dry hacking cough for 7 WEEKS!
Ended up it was a bronchial infection in the large tubes from the lungs, AND a sinus infection.
Goodness!
I did have a doctors appointment in there, and he asked how long I had the cough; at that time I said 12 days, and nothing else was said about it!
My throat & ears hurt from coughing!
I got antibiotics, a puffer, and horrible cough medicine!
Ok. It did work. I feel tons better!

Anyhoo, the Saturday morning after the concert I was in Grimshaw to make this!

Vanessa wouldn't let me use "Oh The Places You'll Go."
Fixed her though, the letter font used here is the 'Dr. Suess' font!
Haha!

I've also made treat bags for my peeps for the monthly meeting. (Those of you that read this, and attend the monthly meeting better not blab!)
Also, the ladies at the post office, and my hairdresser!

They hold a treat & a tea bag.
The following ones are waiting for a tea bag. Apparently I drink a lot of loose tea, or they don't come in individual packages! They're on the list!

There you have it!
I have also been checking my friends house, who retired and decided to spend the winter in Arizona.
I have done laundry, baked, cooked supper at Vanessa's last night, and then babysat while they went out to drink green beer!
The kids spent the day at the ski hill, as it's warming up, and this might be the last weekend.
I'm working on my cards for our family rebellions silent auction this summer.
I'll need another day!

I also started some home made vanilla!
Yeah, I got nothin better to do!
I do have to get more vodka & vanilla beans!

Ok, you got me! I took this bottle out of the bar at work, and I may or may not have mixed 2 black rums together! Haha!
The link is here!

This week will be busy!
People are holidaying at work & it's payroll.
I don't work Monday; and Tuesday I have a meeting in PR, and a dentist appointment. 
There's 2 days shot! For work anyway!
Tomorrow is my grandparenting day!
I think we need to start going to mini gym.
It's at the elementary school a couple blocks away Monday mornings.
It's for pre school age children.

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