Dumb dog!!

I guess she'll never learn lol...Amber came in tonight with 3 quills sticking out of her nose! AGAIN!!! Why won't she learn that porcupines HURT???????

Crazy dog! Next time she does it she can suffer a minute longer while I grab the camera!!!

conversations in the car.....

Coming back from the Farm and Ranch show yesterday...


Lloyd: "Abigail! Stop picking your nose!!!"

Abigail: (starts to cry) "But Dad I'm sooooo thirsty!!"

Sunday - and its cold again!!

I spoke to my Nephew Daniel again today and he sounds so excited about coming to visit - which is so great :) I can't wait to see him as it has been YEARS!!!

He was hoping to book his ticket today so I should know when he is coming over!

Lloyd had to run to Home Deopt for apaintbrush todya - he has spent the afteernoon doing the edges in the sitting room...around the window etc etc.....he has a week off of work so he is hoping to get a lot of unfinished jobs done.

While he was in Home Deopt, I ran into Michaels and chose an icing nozzle - I want to have a go at decorating cupcakes really nicely.....so I bought a beginners kit by Wilton.......it teaches five basic techniques to do star flowers, shells, swirled flowers, dots and sweet peas...and I got an extra star nozzle for doing big swirly cupcakes.......so this week I will be baking a lot of cupcakes to practice on :) I used my 40% off coupon so it didn't cost much at all :) I love those coupons - and next weeks is 50% off too!!!!

I also found some Wizard of Oz scrapbooking stickers so I can scrapbook the pictures of the witches hat from MGM Studios :)

Apart from that though we have all stayed indoors and kept warm as it is cold again and they forecast snow (NOOOOOOOO!!!!!)

Now I am going to go and make a cottage pie for dinner :)

Explosion Box.....






This is my 'altered item' for the contest......I had great plans for it but I just can't do 'shabby chic' which is all the rage right now......all my pieces end up too simple and basic no matter what I do!

But I did enjoy making this as a gift for Susannah.....you pull off the lid of the box and all the 'pages' flop out to reveal pictures of Susie from babyhood onwards.....and even if it doesn't win many points in the contest, I know It has won a lot of points with Susie and the colours and style are sooooooo Susie!!!

Now I just have my card to do and maybe do a few alterations to these two pieces before I upload the pictures to the contest folders at scrappershaven.ca

Rhinestone Cowgirl.....


My layout for Iron Chef round2........using 'monogram' and 'bling'.......
