it's the winner ....

 

interesting news -- I submitted a couple of photo's to the Chamber of Commerce's "Cover Photo" contest ... cover photo for the annual visitor/membership guide .... and this is the winning pix.

 

I can't remember the other pictures that I actually submitted -- things were kind of fuzzy in September/October when the drugs weren't working properly (or at all) ...

 

So I get "photo credit" ... a free ad in the guide (or a larger ad since I already paid for my ad) and $25 of chamber $$$ .... and worldwide fame (just kidding) ...

 

10 days until year end and the madness of my world continues ... I've been putting in way too many hours of tax planning - need to spend a night on the couch and a night shopping.

 

Happy Friday ....

so peeps, here's the deal ... I just emailed the scrapping diva's with this jewel ...

 

WE NEED TO WORK LESS

&

PLAY MORE.

 

the.end.

 

creative recycling

 

the view from my driver's seat when I pull into the garage .. when this used/cracked/recycled primer bulb hits the windshield .. it's time for "park" and get out.  The sign on the back wall is a leftover from the store .... some day the pickers from "American Pickers" can come to the farm and well, load up their van with useless treasures!

 

the other stall has a used fishing "bobber" ....

 

Dad is responsible for all of the above.

 

Happy Hump Day

there are no words ..

 

 

just gotta be a native to understand

 

feel free however to take my lutefisk -- never tried it but the descriptions are awful

 

and yes, my spaghetti pie hot dish is the best!

 

(lutefisk is so bad spell check hasn't heard of it)

 

 

 

 

 

sneak peek ....

 

spent a couple of hours at the long arm last night ...

 

 

should have changed bobbin color - but this keeps it interesting ...

 

 

need to bind yet ...

(and wash -- I hope it doesn't bleeeeeed --- lots of color catchers )

 

 

the next set of projects ... I did a lot of cutting on one of our Friday Craft Nights .... just need to sew 'em up.  Bessie, the Bernina, is still in the fix-it shop ......

Happy Sunday.

 

Oz ...

 

I realized yesterday -- that I've been drinking out of the same coffee cup for 18 years and 9 months ... holy smokes.  I bought it at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas --

 

this mug and my favorite ruler were the only souvenirs I bought on that Tax Season Trip to Las Vegas ... yep, in March of 1995 I took a mid season trek to Las Vegas .... and I still have (and use) the ruler and the mug. 

 

Mom, Grandma, Cousin Cathy and I did Las Vegas on $50 a day -- we toured, slept, ate and a bit of gambling.  Must look for the pictures I took at the time --- it was well before digital cameras and cell phones!

 

Had breakfast with the bank "girls" this morning.  Always entertaining ... however, I am not liking the dusting of snow that arrived this morning. 

 

ahhh ... got to love life eh!
