Gobble Gobble Gobble

All the work, all the cooking, all the shopping and now its over and done. Thank goodness. We had a wonderful dinner and tons of left-overs which we split up and sent home with the kids. Glad I don't have to eat turkey for a week or two.
Tomorrow is the crop........ all day and night...... woohooo. I have all my stuff ready, I hope. Not sure what time I will get up and go..... just gonna see how well I sleep. There are a couple specials I'm thinking about....... hmmmmmmmm what to do. I will just sleep on it.
The boys are spending the night on Sat. so Mom & Dad can go shopping and have a break from the fast and furious world of two little boys. We will have fun........ trips to the park and maybe the donut shop. Now I just have to figure out what to cook for dinner. Hot dogs...... PB & J......Mac & cheese....what will they eat.
Off to bed to rest up for the crop........
Happy Thanksgiving

Tuesday Moaning........

A very bad night of sleep or lack there of. Not sure whats going on but sure don't want another night like that. After babysitting today I should be able to sleep tonight. LOL Only watching the boys in the afternoon so it should be a breeze. I always look forward to what they might say or do. Such fun!

I stumbled upon a wonderful blog from a scrapbooker in France. I think it is probably a shop but since I can't read the language its only a guess. Check it out..... http:/.scrapofangel.blogspot.com. She has a style all her own. I found it whimsical. I will be checking it out in the future......now if only I could read French.

I'm looking forward to Friday..... scraping all day and night.......woohoo. I plan on starting and finishing a few projects. I hope, I hope, I hope. But until then its off to clean and cook.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Cookies, cookies and more cookies......

Took the "Cookie Book" class tonight. Loved it........ loved the cookies we got to sample. What a good idea! Now another book to finish........LOL. Just have to finish the covers.
Going to the show tomorrow with the "ladies". Were seeing Twilight, only hope its as good as the book.. I can hardly believe Thanksgiving is almost here. Where does the time go. As Laura reminded me earlier this evening....... I'm OLD. LOL Thats ok....... least I'm still here.

Well (S***) Bummer......

My alone time is ending...... Neil is on his way home from hunting. The snow is chasing him home. But I do have a class tonight! Cookies here I come. I'm even planning on being good....... to a point. Going to eat dinner before I go so I won't be so tempted to eat to many cookiessssssss. I also was going to have all my scrapping stuff cleaned up before he got home..... oh well to late now.

My brusing is better but still there as I was reminded last night. OUCH! This to shall pass.

I babysat yesterday. Sure was nice but very very tiring. I was able to have lunch at the school with Forrest and Graham. It was a party. Lots of fun especially sitting in the small small small chairs. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get up out of it. LOL
Off to class.......

Sunday Morning...

It's SNOWING! Oh well it was inevitable that winter would come and along with it the snow and cold weather. Sigh....... oh the dream of warm sunny beaches.
I'm still working on all my many projects..... LOL. Slowly getting some finished. Of course I have two classes this week.....so more projects to work on. I love it.
The brusing and soreness are begining to fade and I am trying to be very careful and watch where I am walking. NO MORE TRIPS! Unless they involve a plane and warm sunny beaches.
I'm babysitting this week, Wednesday, and look forward to spending the day with the boys. I just love when Forrest thanks me for babysitting him and that its time for me to leave now. Such a hoot.
Off to work on my projects....... woohoo!

Klutzy Wednesday....

Just call me "Grace". I'm sure all the people at Paper Tales will agree as I tripped and fell on my way into the store today. Luckily there were very kind and helpful people about..... the gal who discovered me..... (I wish I knew her name), Cass, Laura and of course my old old friends NancyJo and Mary. Now there is a saying going around PaperTales........ Don't do a Helen!
Thanks everyone for helping me out. I think its going to take a few days before the soreness is gone.... seems to be settling in quite nicely thank you very much. My knee should a rainbow of colors in a few days. Also thanks to JoAnn for the offer of cookies.
I finally finished my Detroit book...... I do love it..... Thanks Laura for being so creative. Now onto a project for my son-in-law. Then next week I'm doing the Christmas book and Cookie book...... a fun week ahead.
I babysit Forrest and Graham all day tomorrow so that combined with the fall should put me in sorry shape by tomorrow evening........so unless you have a Cosmo in hand.......don't call me...I will call you.

Sunday Afternoon

Home a day early... the generator broke and Neil wanted to get it fixed to go back up later this week. So no showers....... no hair dryer..... yikes. Even through it is a little rustic I do like my hair dryer. So we packed up this morning and left just before dawn in the snow.......which was breathtaking. It clung to every branch on every tree and shrub. To bad my camera was packed away. Much as I love going up there not real crazy about going to the outhouse in the rain or snow. And its always such a pleasent surprise to get up in the middle of the night and go out to find snow on the ground..... hopefully not on the seat! So by the end of the week I will be a hunting widow...... it happens annually around here. So I'm making plans....... woohoooo!
Off to nap........
later........

This just might be a lot of fun......

OK slowly I think I might be getting the hang of this. But that will have to wait until next week due to the fact were going to "Neil's World" tomorrow. Also known as "the cabin in the woods". Where I will read and work on scrapbook stuff while Neil hunts. The nights are long and dark but on a clear night the stars seem so close you could reach out and touch them. This is my annual trip......seems this is when I'm allowed to go...ha ha ha.
I will return soon and become a hunting widow........ oh gosh darn. Oh the classes I will take, the restaurants I will visit, fun will be had.

Oh this is going to be fun..... it only took me 25 minutes to figure out how to post on my own blog. Heaven only knows what will show up here and when. LOL
I finished a scrapbook for my g/f for her birthday..... it turned out great. Now I'm going to start working on a few new projects that I have been thinking about along with the classes I have signed up for at PaperTails. Also finishing the kits I have from classes I was unable to attend.
Are you begining to see why I have no time for housework? Then I have quilts to work on..... miniatures to work on. Valances and pillows to make for my home. Dinner to cook, clothes to iron, etc, etc.
