Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends. --Shirley MacLaine

Better get a beverage people, this will be a long one!

Stressful week this!
A friend of ours had her twins on the weekend, and her dad died this week.
He was battling cancer.
I need to send a few cards.

Work is CAH RA ZEEE busy!

Had a few commitments, and ended with Happy Hour at the OFH last night!
Somewhere between arriving & leaving last night, I got talked into taking my old peeps to Wal Mart next Saturday.

I fixed my vertical blind that Vanessa & I wrecked when we assembled the tread mill!
I. KNOW!
We're home wreckers!
The blind got pulled off, and it busted the little clip!

 
I got out my trusty little dremel,  my jewelry card making tools,  some hay wire
and got busy!
 
 
I love the dremel set.
A little FYI; that sucker can drill through anything so don't drill directly on your countertops.
Just sayin!
 
Here's the fixed blind!
 
 
I was going to replace them, cause I've always hated them, but hey, they work!
 
Here's some pictures I took this week..............We'll start with the sunrise this morning!
I was up at 4:30 WTH!?




I found this nest over by the creek, which is running.
It's only about 3 feet off the ground; my mom thinks they didn't know better.

 
This was just cool!


 
Here's everyone getting along!
Some geese, ducks & swans!

 
And this guy posed on my way to work one day!
Wish I'd have still had the camera out when he lifted off, his wing span must have been 7 feet!



We cleaned some of the yard today................
The garbage that was sticking out of the snow, went to the dump!

Had to make some ditches in the lawn!
Remember this post, the mess they made digging in the water line!?
Well there's a lake back there!



I guess we'll have to add more dirt close to the house.

Let me give you todays weather report!
Ya know ya live in Alberta if you can go from:
10 degrees above 0, to pouring rain, to below 0 & snow!
Yup, I kid you not, and it's still below 0!

I finished a Mini Album for one of Vanessas' friends.


Then I did a make work project...you know me, there's very seldom an easy way when I'm on a mission!
I received my goodies from Quilled Creations!
I got this kit!
The instructions are not great....usually when quilling they'll tell you to make so many circles or what ever and you use one of these to measure!
These instructions say to make random circles....hahahahaha!
So I did!


That lilac is no way gonna fit in that cute little oval card!
So I made my own!
Here's the finished product.

 
It's going to be a birthday card for a friend.
 
I'm doing the sunflower now, and trying my darndest to make it to fit in the oval card!
 
Ok I'm done!
Hope you're all well!
I'll be visiting soon.
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
