Snowy Sunday up north!

Yep, DH was called out to plow & sand at 5 AM this morning!  Thank you Neil (his boss) for giving us the early morning call on the house phone and waking everyone else up, that could have used a few more winks!  Such is life with a DH who works for Public works for the County!  I know I should be quite and happy that he is one that is fortunate to have a job.  I am happy and THANKFUL that he is employed!

Any how I was then blog surfing, like what else would I be doing early in the morning before I fall back to sleep??? LOL  When I visited  http://meandmybucket.blogspot.com/  One of my FAV blogs to visit!!  and I noticed that she had posted a SUPER deal from Shutterfly!!!

Projects for Craft Fair

Hi!

I've been working on projects for a Crafter's Fair I'm taking part in.  Plus trying to keep up with things at Sweet Peas.  I haven't took part in a Craft Fair like forever!  I have missed it!  I think keeping my little spot at Sweet Peas, has helped keep that part of my life satisfied!!  So when a friend asked me to come take part in the Holiday Bazaar the Elementary School is having, how could I say no???

Seeing as it's Christmas, candy is always a BIGGIE and I'm of course prepping lots of the poop skinny bags.  They are almost sold out from Sweet Peas!!  YAHOOOOO!!!  Then my friend Mishie always takes a good old regular chocolate bar and turns it into a special gift!  That's what I did here!  Hoping it will be a seller!!

I best get back to more crafting!  Enjoy your Thursdays!!

Sloppy Snowy Sunday!

Yep it's snowing, just lightly today.  Yesterday Minnesota got hit pretty hard in the Cities and south of there.  Up north, we didn't have anything but rain until about 3 PM, then that wet sloppy stuff hit!  The trees look so pretty though, with all the white stuff on them!  Good thing the temps are staying up there a little, as DD and her roomie made a trip to Southern Minnesota to visit family & friends (roomies).  It snowed like crazy down there and they have over 8" where she is.  Me I will stay put in my little stampin room and keep stoking the wood stove.  Sooooo NICE to have that warmth!!

Here is one of the projects I worked on.  I've been in the FRAMING moods.  LOL 

I hope you are staying warm & ENJOYING your Sunday where you are!

Monday what a FUN day!!

Yep it was a FUN day!!  I took a trip to Duluth and enjoyed seeing all the season changes they are putting up!  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Duluth!  The BIG Christmas tree frame is up and ready for the Bentleyville village.  Now they will start to get it ready for the BIG lighting!!  We hope to get some pictures of it this year and I will share with ya all, when we do!  http://www.bentleyvilleusa.org  This is a link to their on-line site.  Take a peak, till I can get some pictures posted.

I told ya I have been putzing on Christmas Holiday items and I have been having FUN doing it!!  I think CHRISTMAS is one of my most FAVORITE Holidays!!!  Everyone sitting around the fire, sipping hot cocoa and singing Christmas Carols.  Well maybe they are not the Christmas Carols that everyone is use to, but the ones that my silly kids have made up through the years! 




Here is an easy peasey card I came up with using the SU stamp set "A Flower for All Seasons".  It's a GREAT set, very season friendly!!


ENJOY your Monday!

So it's back to working on different Christmas projects now!  I picked these adorable little jars up - YES they are GLASS!!!  Hard to find real glass now days ya know.  I decorated them up and tada had to add some ribbon and now I'm putting them at Sweet Peas and will use some for gift giving too!


It's Sunday and ENJOY your day!!
