Snow

Guess what it'snowing here. Again.

March Calendar

March is done and April is drying Didn't get to craft this weekend. Had bball games Saturday and Sunday. My granddaughter had a great basketball weekend. Sat. morning she won a hoop shoot and gets to on the the next level. Then had a bball game where she shot in double digits and on Sun. had a game where she shot 2-3 point baskets and had double digits again. Way to go Em. and she is only 13.  The oldest grandson had a game on Sat. that was cancelled. The whole team showed up and then found out  no game. He is on the Fifth grade team. Hope to play on Wed. but they are calling for snow so who knows.

Here is my March calendar.

Feb

new calendar

It's the time of year to follow Roni Johnson's blog and make my new calendar. Last year it was on a cd and I hung it up at work. This year is on chip board in any shape we want. We have this puzzle die at work. We only have a few large dies on hand and I didn't want to order one.

Merry Christmas to all

It's been a while since I've been here. I've made fudge, cream candy, hard tack, and my DH's grandma Baker's Christmas cookies. now these cookies really have nothing of Christmas in them it's just I never seem to make them at any othe time.

He is such a sweetie, he says that it just makes them special. He looks forward to them every year.

Didn't get near the things done I wanted to do. I don't know where the time flies. I cut my Christmas card list down because I make my cards and I didn't get enough done for my list.

Got a e-reader from Santa and I am having a heck of a time with it. We have wireless but my DH can't remember the password so I can sign on. I am going to have to find a hotspot to get on line. It has a saduko game on it but I really suck doing anything with numbers. Id rather play Nancy Drew on computer.

I hope Santa was generous to everyone and everyone remember that Jesus is the real reason for the season.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011        2011 will soon be here

Thanksgiving

Well turkey day has come and gone. Had 27 people in my basement.
Stuffed the turkey and stuffed all of my craft supplies behind curtains. It will take me forever to find anything. I really admire those people that are organized. It would be nice to know where something is when you wanted it.

I keep saying I am going to let a  friend of mine come and organize but I know she'll want to throw stuff away (making a face of horror) I know I keep way to much but that's who I am.

I thought I had better take a picture when you can see the table tops.

Saturday before Thanksgiving

I have been busy cleaning my craft room for Thanksgiving. I clean off the shelves so thy wouldn't look so cluttered, then I had to clean off the table, then the counter, then the table etc. you get the idea.

This morning Cliff asked for a piece of wire. Took me forever to find it. I love the look of my craft room all neat but I'm not organized so getting back to work will be a seek and find.

I think I have just about all the Christmas cards I need. I have been sending a lot less than I used to.

Crochet

I'm working on new ornaments for my tree.

newest card

Another card made by using Tim Holtz technique of stamping on watercolor paper. You put the ink on the stamp spritz it quickly with water, stamp and dry with a heat gun.

The background was  made with a cuttlebug embossing folder and colored with Ranger dusty concord (my new favorite) ink. There is some green and a touch of aqua thrown in too, and some walnut ink.

The sentiment is from my print shop program. it's     We cannot imagine your sadness!
                                                                                     We can only empathize with your
                                                                                      pain. Our thoughts are with you.
