THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF ANYTHING YOU WANT~anonymous

 Good day!

Happy New Year......I'm going to just keep saying that!

I've decided you can't be too late with that greeting!

I see light at the end of the tunnel, with the vaccine, etc.

Until then; I will be a mask wearing, hand washing, order my groceries online fool!

I had some ornaments made just before Christmas. They're made out of wood. A few special people got them.

Thought that summed it up well!

My Valentine's cards are made.

I'm on to an order, which is an assortment of Birthday & Thinking of You.

Mom's card.

Vanessa & Harley's.

Kalen.

Bryson

 

                            I know this one is cheesy....He's 4!

A few friends were sent one out of the drawer.

I have been cleaning, and sorting in the craft area. Today there was a lot of pretty trash!

I did crochet a toque.

A friend had given me a really chunky yarn.

Vanessa said she'd like a headband in blue.

Told her I only had lime green and purple in this wool.

I did however, pick up a lovely blue in my quest to find the size of crochet hook I should have used. Might have to order it online!

I have ordered craft kits online for this year; as I am so far from a 'craft' store, I don't know what I'm missing!

I have been feeding the birds.

Can you see them in these pictures?

 I just truck out to the feeders, and a whole flock of these guys fly up off the ground!

They're so hard to see!!!

We have been taking mom a meal, either Saturday or Sunday, depending on Kalens schedule.

And only if she's home alone.

Yesterday we took, ham, scalloped potatoes, harvard beets, pickles, & banana bread. 

I am making a few treats for my coworkers.

It's been cold here, for us! Below 0.

Not a lot of snow, we are supposed to get some all this week. I need a new shovel, and Home Hardware has electric shovels I have been eye balling!

Better go!

Wash your hands and stay safe!

Talk to ya later!

Not sure if you will be able to read this.....where did the buttons for the font and size go? 

Nevermind, I was on a crazy view!

This will be picture heavy.

Christmas cards are still being made! Just until my desk is organized, then I'm dun!

Moms card:

 It's a double Z fold, and I'd give someone credit; I found it on Pinterest.

Brysons card:

It's a shaker card. I used double sided tape from the $$ store.

Do. Not. Do. That!

I then had to use my glue like silicone, as it was leaking out all over!

It should be good; I'm sure I'll hear about it if it's still leaking when it gets to him!

Vanessa & Harleys card:

Kalens card:

I then had a card making marathon.

I let Kalen pick cards to send.

A friend had seen them & wanted to buy some, I needed to have a selection! I also got advice from a friend that sells her cards.

The following were added to the stash for Kalens friend to pick from.

Inside gold joy card

Outside & in of Happy Holidays.

Had to step up the insides!

This one is real sparkly!

 

 There you have it. 

That's probably not all, but that's all you're getting right now! 

I have also made treats for my co workers.

Of course there's no picture.

The kids gave me my Christmas present early.

It's a thin desk with 16 cubes on top. Each cube can hold 10 lbs.

Kalen is trying to help out in the crafting department.

I am a visual person, and unfortunately need to SEE all my stuff. Which means most of it is on display somewhere in the room, which means it looks like a disaster, and unorganized, but I know where everything is! The cubes cleaned a large portion of my desk off! I think I'll like them.

I sent Vanessa this picture when she asked if my tree was up.

I finally found some house numbers. I looked all spring and summer.

You know-Covid.

I had them in my cart several times from different hardware stores; however, as soon as I hit the 'ship to me' button, they'd be out of stock.

I needed adhesive, put in a Michaels order. 

6inch numbers. $4.99 a piece.

Cheapest ever!

 

Painted them black, and hung them up. The yellow gobs at the bottom are Kalens foam attempt to keep mice out of the garage. It needs trimmed off. Haha

I just filled the mouse bait station, and we're good!

Here's my favorite little person. 

He asked his mom if the sky was on fire.

I miss Alberta sunsets!

I miss him too. I'll just be grateful for the time we spent together in August! His dad's done school, so we don't facetime every night!

I better go, I am making a few more Christmas cards for the stash, just to clean my desk off, then it will be on to something else!

I am devastated.

My mom just called & told me Charley Pride died from Covid.

I had seen him twice in concert. He was my dads favorite singer.

We have become mask wearing, hand washing fools!

Stay safe everyone!

Wash your hands!

Talk to ya later!
