Wonderful Blog Candy!

I've found the blog of a great lady from Germany. Her name is Kathrin, and she has some beautiful work. She also sells stamps. I bought my "Cricut Card Fairy Army" stamp from her several months ago. She's very sweet, and I'm very glad I found her blog. So run on over and check out her blog And join in the fun.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

The any hero cards

Here are the patriotic cards I made to send as Any Hero Cards for the troops over seas. But I think our folks in Texas need them more right now.


 
 
 
 

Tonight while I watch TV, I think I'll make some more. It will make me feel better about the whole thing. And I hope our cards will help them feel better. It was strange that I bought the Stand and Salute cartridge for no reason other than I'm patriotic. And now all of a sudden there is a reason for me to use it....hhmmmm God works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform...

I hope y'all have a good Sunday night.

More Cricut Card Fairy cards

Here are 4 more cards I've done for Cricut card fairy missions. For the ones without a cricut cut on the outside, most have a "Thinking of you" cut or something similar on the inside. The red Christmas card is for Noah, who most of us have heard of through one source or another. I'm hoping all our cards get to him in time. I'll try to shrink the pix and upload them to the Cricut message board later, or tomorrow. I've already spent toooo much time sitting here today.
Although I did get up and clean that nasty kitchen earlier! lol Now at least Don won't have to clean the kitchen before he cooks. I'm sure he'll be happy about that. So here they are:

 
 
 
 

I know that the soldiers and their families at Ft. Hood are having a rough time and will be for some time to come. PTSD is no walk in the park. And sadly, now they may suffer from it because a phychiatrist couldn't get help for himself. So I've created some 'any hero' cards to send to them. If you haven't heard about the folks handling their cards, just let me know and I'll send you the addy for them. I had already made some cards to send to the Opperation Write Home folks. But I think they'll have to go to Texas instead.

I hope everyone has had a good weekend. And I hope you've been creative. It makes our lives sooooo much more fun.

Thanksgiving

Now see there...that's what I get for listening to Don! A friend of his called and said he was going camping Thurs, Fri and Sat. And did Don want to go along. But he said no...he had to cook for us. I said look if there's enough easy things to cook, I can do it. (It's not about my ability to cook, it's about my ability to stand long enough to cook). So I told him if he could get Thursday and Friday off to go ahead. He said, "No, I have to be home to cook. I would never leave you guys on Thanksgiving." Err go, my belief that Thanksgiving is next week! lol

If he and I ever have problems, it's about not communicating well enogh for the other one to understand. He's from Boston ya know! lol Only kidding, please no bad email's about disparaging remarks about Boston! What I mean is like this; I'll say I need stamps, he'll say how much, I tell him, he says we'll be able to get them this week.
OK, now what does that mean to you? To me it means I can go get them now...right? AHHH thats where we'd both be wrong. When he say's we'll be able to get them this week, he's talking about this weeks paycheck, which we don't get until next week!! My question is why not just say we'll get them next week? It took a couple of near disasterous financial mishaps before I finally got what he meant.

I didn't tell him I posted his request for bothering. So today when he finally drags his bottom out of bed, I'll tell him Sherry says I should wash his undies with brillo pads! Now that's a stroke of genius girl! I won't do that though as he has alergies which make him get boils! If it would ONLY irritate him, I might go for it!
And Denise, I think reading to him would probably irritate me more than him! He's worked his whole life in the printing industry. The machines are very loud, so his hearing is terrible. I'd be reading away and he wouldn't hear me anyway! lol But great ideas girls, we'll come up with something yet.

I remember when my son, Peter's, first wife and he were newlyweds. They stayed with me and my then hubby for awhile. Michelle and my ex developed a crazy sort of 'war'. He dumped a pot of cold water over the shower curtain when she was having a shower. I called her name right before, so she'd at least know someone was there. The words that came out of her mouth! lol
Then she put shaving cream in his shoes. It took her forever to get him to put his shoes on. He never wore them in the house. There were some pretty ugly words then too! This went back and forth for the entire time they lived with us. Never a dull moment in that house I can tell ya! We were all so young!

Anyway, we have a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving, and I'm still looking for something to irritate or bother Don.
Well, we've got to go get the shopping done some time today, and I'm thinking the earlier the better. So I have to get dressed so we can go.
Take care all, and please keep me straight with these holidays so I don't embarrass myself too badly:)

Happy Friday

I didn't realize that next week was Thanksgiving. How can that kind of thing escape you? Well I guess since I'm in this house day after day, with the same ole same ole... It's not hard to lose track of time. I'm sure I'm not the only one... well I hope so any way. lol
So Don said to me yesterday, when I picked him up from work, (and I quote) "Why don't you ask your blogging buddies if there are other ways(that you don't know of) to bother me?" Well he didn't think I would... but here it is...:)

He can be so silly sometimes. One of his favorite things to say is "If everybody would just do what I want and stopped bothering me, the world would be a much better place." And says it with a straight face! lol One of the things I love about him is his sense of humor. Sometimes he can be soooo sarcastic...and sometimes I think he should go to an open mike night at a comedy club. Every body laughs when he's around. So if y'all could come up with some really silly way of bothering him, I'd love to bother him that way. Then tell him that one of my blogging buddies gave me that idea!

I probly will have some more cards to share tomorrow, I'm re-charging batteries...AGAIN! lol Would someone tell Santa that I want a new battery charger and some new rechargeables?

I've made some cards for the Operation Write Home folks. So I'll probably be mailing them off next week. But I've missed the Christmas season for them, so now I'll start on spring holidays. Easter and St Patricks day, and Mothers day. I've gotten out my Flower Soft again and I'm making up some things that are very feminine that the soldiers can send to girlfriends or wives or moms. I love how easy it is to create something with it. If you haven't heard of Operation Write Home just click on their name and check it out.

Well, I'm off to try to finish my book without falling asleep. (Probably never happen) Take care everyone. And have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Cricut Card Fairies Cards

Here are missions 451 thru 453. The first one was my first attempt at flower soft. I wasn't going to use it, but I thought it would make someone smile, so I gave it up! Thanks for looking!
