Saturday Shmaterday!

I started out by being in town at 9 AM for my hair appointment.
Ya, it was time!
I got some groceries, visited with a friend, came home, and just now shut er down!
And this can't be too long winded, cause Earth Hour's coming up!
The snowmen all got put away (maybe Spring will come now!), all that's left out is a sleigh with a Christmas teddy bear that needs a home!
I spent forevah on the phone with the not so   helpful people at ACNielson Homescan, both before my appointment, and when I got home!
Guess they're sending me a new scanner! One that plugs into my phone line this time....I can't transmit my info anymore on the computer!
Did a load of laundry, cleaned a bathroom, took out the garbage, checked the stove, vacummed, cooked supper, and the dishes are done! So am I!
Found out today that my Monday meeting is rescheduled for Tuesday, there goes dinner out and one baby shower! I've already rescheduled dinner, and I'll take the shower gift to the babys grandma!
I made this card for her.


I don't have a lot of pink paper!? (Sorry Bonnie, I've got nothing against pink!)
Just don't have a lot in my stash!
The card's pretty blingy in real life!
I checked the The Weather Network, and it says it should warm up by Tuesday.....I'll keep you posted!
I'm off to create something before I gotta shut the lights off!

Ta ta for now!

Life is 10% what you make it, and 90% how you take it.-Ben Franklin

I think life has got in the way this last week.
And seriously........SPRING!?
Not here!
Here's a pic of the snow one morning this week.
The Township Road sign is just sticking out!


It didn't get above 0 degrees Celcius, today either.
My friend a little south of here, did say that she seen geese today!
If I were them, I'd rethink the plan, and come back in a month!

I've been creative though!
Made this.


This little set of Thank You cards for my mom.
Stamped the envelopes too!



Our last Stamp Club was earlier this week, here's what we made.
The flower is covering up a mistake (really; can you believe it?), but I think I'll put a button there,
cause I want it for a guy birthday!


This next one was for Easter; I turned it into a Sympathy card.
Only because I know what I'm making for Easter cards!


This one was fun, it's done with chalk.


So was the background for this one!


Now this next card is a 2 in 1!
One of Vanessas' friends she went to school with is pregnant.
Her mom is having a shower for her next Friday.
I needed a baby card.


Last weekend her and her boyfriend got married, so now I need a wedding/shower card.
So one side is 'For The Newlyweds', and the other side is 'Hello Baby'!
I thought it was pretty clever!


The ribbon on the side holds an insert, which has a whole lot of Congratulations, and Best Wishes stamped on it!


Turned out pretty cool I thought!


I got pillows for the wedding shower part, and a bunch of baby stuff in white, green, and yellow......oh yeah, and a pair of tiny red and blue ELMO socks cause they were cute!

Another one of Vanessas' friends just had a baby girl, her shower is Tuesday, so I'll be making another card, and buying pink stuff......she has a boy, so I'll get him a little something too!
Sure hope these babies aren't catchy!
We always bug Vanessa, she had a dog, it ended up at my house all the time; I had to find it a new home.
I tell people; "Vanessa can't have a baby, she had a dog, and left it here, so I gave it away!"
She lived in town at the time, and it wasn't fair to the dog.
When it was here it wouldn't stay, so had to be tied up, and that wasn't fair either.
She went to a good home.

Working on a few other projects, gotta catch up on my blog reading......
I'm really a gamer, so now you know how I've been spending my time on the internet!
Nope I don't gamble, just play free games!

Haven't heard from Kalen for while.
Stephanie, from Germany was visiting, I think she went home yesterday,
so maybe he'll have time to call his mother!
He ships out again next week on The Calgary, he's pretty excited!

Talk to ya later, have a great weekend!

Ta ta for now!
