We Will Remember...

 Good Evening Internet Friends! 

Today was another day to appreciate all that we have in this time of Covid.  Yet another significant day impacted as we "soldier on" in our quest to hopefully contain it.

There were no Remembrance Day Celebrations here in the community.  I did take doggie out on a walk to observe some of the tributes to the Canadian Armed Forces.  While we were out three Griffon Helicopters flew over:

For lunch I made a baked cream cheese, parmesan, artichoke dip all from pantry and refrigerator ingredients.  Served this along with veggies, fresh dates, and multigrain chips.  BEST Lunch EVER!!!  

Growing up my mom had a Tupperware roaster.  It eventually started to break down and there was no replacement for it.  Until recently!  Last week I received my new Ultra Pro Casserole!!!  It's large enough that I probably could have put 2 roaster chickens in it!  The chicken came out nicely browned and not dry at all!  I had topped the chicken with pesto and sundried tomatoes:

Served with 4 cheese and green onion scalloped potatoes, multi coloured carrots, and a stuffing from croutons all found in the pantry or refrigerator it was a DELICIOUS dinner!

After dinner I decided to stare at my October 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit.  After a good long stare I decided that I did not like the instructions so I decided to make 4 of the Christmas Cards my way:

TAH DAH!!!  Not as fancy as the kit pattern, but less I think is better in this case.

Hope this inspired your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Thursday tomorrow.  Stay Safe out there 😷

Happy Holidays ???

Good Evening Internet Friends!!!

Over the Thanksgiving Weekend I managed to get myself one humdinger of what I think is a cold.  I did have to go stand for 2 hours in the walk in line up for Covid Testing after which I slept the entire day away and then coughed all night. 

Feeling a little bit better this evening so went down to my scrapbooking space.  It has been a while since I have done any card making.  I have decided that this year I will get back in to giving Christmas Cards.  I will likely need close to 200 cards so I need to come up with something that can be made reasonably quickly and still look good!

This may be it.  My plan is to only use supplies that I have.  

 TAH DAH!!!  

I made one this evening as a second one seemed to hard.  Maybe tomorrow.....

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all a healthy BEST Day EVER Thursday tomorrow.  Stay Safe out there 😷.

Day 2 Drags Onnnnnnnnnnn.....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Day 2 of the hand looking like a giant paw is almost over.  

After getting my son to school I needed more pain medication and that of course meant a nap.

When I woke up I felt good and wanted to take on the world but with a paw that is kind of hard to do.

So, I wood oiled my barn ladder and then put the quilts back on it 😼

After dinner, walking the dog and getting my son off to bed I attempted to do some crafting.  Other than some stamping nothing else worked.  "Sew" I made Thank You cards"

TAH DAH!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Cards...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

During the time that I was moving, cleaning and organizing my craft room I discovered that I have some REALLY amazing stuff hidden down there ☺

I found several boxes of the Paper Pumpkin paper crafting kits I used to get until I decided that they just really were not worth the value.

I still do not think that they are worth the price, however while cleaning I decided that I could turn all the card kits into Thank You cards.

After dinner, laundry, homework checks and getting my son to bed I took a few minutes in my newly almost clean craft room and made:

Nine Thank You Cards!

I will be giving these to my friend and neighbor to use with her customer fabric orders.

"Sew" if you receive one you will now know where it came from ☺

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Finds.....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Now that I have cleaned and organized my craft room I have assigned areas/space for each of my different crafting pursuits.  I have a quilting, a knitting, a cross stitch and a scrapbooking area.

This evening I used some of the prepared card bases I found to make some Thank You cards for my neighbor to include with her customer orders to help her out:

"Sew" if you place an order and receive one of these you will know where it came from ☺

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
