one sheet wonder

did a bit of stamping tonight and thought i would start a one sheet wonder. the background is actually off-white, unsure why it scanned with a yellow hue to it. the stamps i used were the first ever stamps i got-5 years ago from a Stampin Up info evening. will post what i do with the sheet tomorrow



here's 2 cards i made with the sheet. i'm tired and uninspired lol

advent

mom bought this cute wallhanging a few weeks ago. she started it on the weekend and i finished it this afternoon. you take an ornament off each day as you countdown to Christmas

again? *sigh*

The Rules:
Each player of this game starts with the 6 weird things about you. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

Weirdness #1: i'm double jointed in my hands, feet and toes

Weirdness #2: i have a memory like an elephant. drives Jim absolutely nuts the things i remember(and he wishes i would forget lol!)

Weirdness #3: i have broken at least one toe every summer for the past 9yrs. broke one so bad this past summer that my toe nail doesn't grow(stop looking at my feet)

Weirdness #4: does this count as weird? i am ALWAYS late. i think its in my genes. all my clocks are set ahead and yet i am 99% late everytime i leave the house. probably no big surprise to anyone who knows me lol!

Weirdness #5: i'm keeping this one from Lisa because i'm petrified of them too! I'm petrified of needles.

Weirdness #6: i am a hockey addict. as a teenage(this is so embarrassing, why am i admitting this???) life stopped for a Canucks game. the tv would be on, my jersey(#16!!!) would be on, i would even have the radio on and listen to it and the tv commentary(radio was always better!) i have a stash of hockey cards(and autographed pictures and hockey sticks!) that i have hidden away in the top of M's closet. i've always said i would sell it all to pay for the boys college education-don't hold your breath rofl!!

now 6 people to tag lol

okay, so its 3. sue me :p

mom, don't read this

so we are supposed to get slammed again tonight with another storm. it hit -21 here last night with the windchill; i'm not so sure now i still live in BC lol. supposedly our school district has already decided to cancel school for the rest of the week-oh joy. at least with Jim getting home tonight(if his flight from Calgary doesn't get cancelled!) he can drive me to work in the truck.

went to the scrapbooking store today(my birthday discount was burning a hole in my purse lol) and have decided to do an altered tin case for myself and one for my mom for Christmas. i'm hoping to also have enough time(and with the possibility of no school, i should have time) to make her a dozen or so cards to go in it for the year. i'll do a bunch of feminine birthday cards, a few masculine ones, baby, kid birthday's etc. and she should be set

because i'm being lazy today

and haven't done anything crafty like i had planned(but i'm almost finished an excellent new book!)so i'm going to share with you some loverly cards that have made their way to me over the past few days. the rooster card was made by Elizabeth, the Joy card by Melanie and the adorable house of mouse card(there is glitter on the card that didn't show up on the scan) was done by Janice. thanx ladies!

i survived

**edited to add

never have i remembered windows freezing shut in the lowermainland! eek!
what a weekend to travel! Jim and i got to Calgary on Saturday afternoon just before the big snow storm hit BC. Calgary wasn't better to be in with temps hovering around -30 all weekend! when i left tonight, it was an astounding -41 with the windchill!!

we have roughly 18 inches of snow-deep enough that A and J built an igloo and a tunnel in the backyard yesterday(i'll post pictures tomorrow) Dad rescued me from the Abbotsford airport-the drive home was horrible with the blowing snow across the freeway

another snow day here tomorrow-woo hoo i get to sleep in!

i'm it

this will have to hold you over until i get home on Tuesday from Jim and mine weekend away to Calgary. supposed to be in the mid -20s tomorrow(yes MINUS 20) more reason to spend the weekend shopping lol!!
