There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. --Helen Keller

Hello everyone!
Hope you people in Canada are enjoying the long weekend!?

Ray got back from Phoenix Wendsday night.
Sicker than a dog!
The funny thing is, he didn't get sick from anyone or anything in the U.S. of A.
He got sick cause his BIL arrived sick from Canada, and they all stayed at the same house!
I hope I don't get it....knock on wood!
He did good in the shopping department though!
Our coffee pot crapped out a few days before he left; I bought a cheap one at Fields until they go on sale.
He came home with this!
Oh Happy Day!!!
He also picked up some new phones that were desperately needed!
Oh yeah, the wedding was wonderful, he figures there were about 100 people there, and except for the 4 neighbors they'd invited, the rest of the guests were Team Canada! hahahaha

Anyhoo, I was going to make my go-to wedding card to send the new bride & groom;
of course I had to look it up again because I can never find the template! It's here!
I dug out my Xyron I got at the Garage Sale, and can honestly say I'll be using it more often!
For everything!
It turns what ever fits in there into a sticker!!!
Who knew!?

 
I put all the pieces through.....

 
Stuck them on some light (cereal box type) cardboard......

 
Cut them out, and put them in a marked envelope!
Of course I'll remember where I put it! HA!
 
Here's a crappy picture of the finished project!

 
It's a gatefold, her dress closes it with a little magnet;
I put a little envelope inside so we can send some cash.....
US cash, cause they have a condo in Phoenix!
 
The weather's been lovely,
Shadow & I will go for our walk today before the sun heats everything up to slush & muck!
 
Vanessa will be here today after work!
Also one of her friends from town is coming for supper!
I'm cooking today, the scalloped potatoes are already in the slow cooker!
Making an amazing dessert, I'll try to remember to take pictures!
 
Vanessa's also bringing me a little present I bought myself over the phone yesterday!
A treadmill!
It was advertised for $2199.99.
I.KNOW!
It was on sale; I used the points I'd accumulated on my credit card,
and paid less than $700.00! (With GST)
It has a lifetime warranty on the motor & frame.....
I shopped around!
Ray's sister took hers back, and I really need excercise of some sort in the winter!
I'll be setting it up next week,
because it won't be long before Shadow & I have to take a break....
It will just be too muddy!
 
Hope you're all well!
Thanks for popping in to say HI!
Your comments alwasy make me smile!
Happy Easter everyone!
 
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

House Mouse & Friends

There's a new Challenge over at the HM&F site!
 
 
*** E a s t e r ***
Include something that relates to Easter somewhere on your project. ie., Bunny, Chick, Egg, Jelly Beans, Cross, Easter paper, Easter colors, a sentiment....Anything that relates to Easter as long as you use a House-Mouse, Gruffies and, or, Happy Hoppers image.
I used this image, and cut up a ready made card for the background!
 
 
I used lots of Glossy Accents on the jar!
I LOVE that stuff!

 
Anyway, you still have over a week to play!
What are you waiting for!?
 
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
