Happy Thanksgiving :)

I want to wish all my Canadian friends a very wonderful Thanksgiving.
I enjoyed the day with my family.
My brother Darrell and his wife Darlene (whom is also Wayne's sister) came over.
I picked up my sister Julia and my nephew and niece.
Of course my girls and their boyfriends were here as well.
We had such a nice time.
Food must have been good as there are not many leftovers ;)
(this isn't my table...but doesn't it look perfect)

Today I am so thankful for my family.
I have more siblings that live out of town and would love if we all lived closer and could all spend these holidays together.
But sadly that is not so.
Wayne's family all live here in the same town. He was lucky to spend every holiday and celebrate everyone's birthdays together.
I hope I am lucky enough to have my children and any future grandchildren live close to me :)

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a creative Monday :)
Oh ya, Wayne got a doe hunting today.
I don't care for wild game..but the rest of the family does.

I have been counting down the days to this show.
I am so excited!!!!!

Take a good look at the gorgeous zombie in this photo...

There is an app to zombify yourself ;)

I hope you all had a very creative Sunday :)

Start of my Outdoor Fall Display

The start of my Fall outdoor display.
I had made this corn husk wreath years ago, and put it up every year, sometimes on my outside door and sometimes on one of my inside doors.
I love how it looks backed up with my red door, that Wayne and I painted a few years ago.
I was suppose to order new doors (if you remember my side door the paint peeled off because of our harsh winter). But I ordered them to late as they wouldn't be able to install them until December.
A bit to cold to have the doors removed in my opinion ;)
I will order them in the early Spring.

I love these fall mums that I picked up from one of our nurseries.
My daughters went to the nursery when I was away on my trip, and I was told Ashley really wanted one of these, but Heather and Kristy talked her out of it as she wants to save money.
So I went driving with Kristy today and told her that I want to pick them up for me and one for Ashley.
We surprised Ashley with them....she was very, very happy :)

It is Thanksgiving here in Canada this Monday, and I am having my family over for Thanksgiving dinner...which I do every year.
So today was suppose to be spent cleaning the house...but I had more fun visiting my blog friends and running around with Kristy :)

I had FNS (Friday Night Scrapbooking) last night.
I was home for about an hour before the ladies showed up ;)
I started to decorate my Tim Holtz tag book. I got a bit stumped as I kept wanting to add more metal embellishments. But it was too much, so I didn't complete it.
I will share that when it is done :)

I hope you all had a creative Saturday :)

Last of the trip

Made it home safe and sound.

Enjoyed LOTS of laughs, some fun shopping and too much rich foods. 

Can't wait until our next trip :)

On our way home we stopped off at Miller Hill Mall for the best coney burgers I have ever had. 

Yes, I eat them with a knife and fork, lol.

We also stopped at Hobby Lobby and I picked these cool stickers up at Michaels. You know how I enjoy my zombies ;) 

I also picked up the smaller containers for my wood stamp storage. 

Printed off eight coupons and used them all, I'm sneaky, lol

I will visit you all, tomorrow when I am on an actual computer with a good Internet connection, and not my phone. 

I hope you all had a creative Friday :)

Walking into walls

I should have slept in.

I woke up at 5:30am as I had to go pee.

It was pitch black in the hotel room, so I felt my way to the bathroom, not wanting to wakesharon. 

Thought I was at the bathroom door, so turned to walk into the bathroom.....But instead smacked my head into the corner of the wall.

I think I swore, but Sharon didn't wake up. 

I was scared I'd get a goose egg, so left to get some ice. 

I didn't get a goose egg, but a have a bit of a cut above my right eyebrow and it's a tad swollen. 

I'm not a klutz. Really I'm not, lol

Did a bit of shopping today.

We went to Pine City Scrapbooking, sadly they didn't have the Tim Holtz stencils I was hoping to find there. 

But did find these to make a binder for my monthly tags. 

I also picked up this cute stamp and some glossy accents as I have yet to try them. 

I found it sad that I found more at Walmart for crafting than the scrapbooking store, lol.

The back paper I picked up for Kristy, thought she might like it for her cards. 

I thought Ashley would get a kick out of that iPhone sticky notes :)

Yes I need help, More washi tape ;)

Because of my encounter with the wall this morning, I treated myself to those cream horns and a new purse. 

I thought Heather might like those scarves.  

Sharon won 120.00 today. 

I lost 6.00, lol

The machine wouldn't even take my dollar, lol. I guess that's a sign I'm not meant to gamble lol. 

I hope you all enjoyed a creative Thursday :)

Posting from the casino

Sitting in the casino using the free wifi as Sharon is gambling her craft money away, lol.

Actually I gambled 16.00 and lost it all. 

Wayne had 16.00 American in quarters and told me to take it. So I did. 

Gambling isn't really my thing. I hate to lose money. 

Did some crafty shopping on the way here.

I picked up these Christmas stickers for Kristy as she has enjoyed making cards for the children in the hospital. 

I found some fun Tim Holtz products to play with when I get home. 

Some pretties for my broken nails. And some yummies for my tummy. I wonder if they taste as good as the bear claws from Cabalas?

And here I thought I didn't need more washi tape, lol. 

Good deal at office max on washi. Buy 3 get 1 free. There wasn't a sign. We didn't realize there was a deal until we checked our receipt at the hotel. 

Tomorrow is a visit to Pine City Scrapbooking :)

I hope you all had a very creative Wednesday. 

Tracy:)

I had a colouring playdate ;)

Me and my besties had a play date today :)
And yes I do always buckle them up for safety ;)
I went to my friend Debbie's to finish colouring the images for the cards we made, back on our girls get away.

We each coloured one image and started a second one, but then I got a phone call from Ashley, telling me she was stranded.
She went to Safeway and picked up her groceries, and her/my jeep wouldn't start.
Ashley kept apologizing as she knows Debbie and I don't get together very often and she didn't want to be a bother.
What a sweet girl.
I (of course) went to pick her up. Thankfully her jeep started when I got there.
So I suggested she go to her work and pick up what she can do at home, just in case the jeep isn't on its best behaviour tomorrow morning.
So I followed her to work, then back to her house. I also helped her put her groceries away.
I guess the jeep needs to be taken to the doctor...hope the bill isn't too high for her.

I am so excited as tomorrow I head off on my trip over the border :)
I found another scrapbooking store and also a stamp store on our travel.
I just hope they are open :)

I hope you all had a very creative Tuesday :)
