Just had to do it!!!!!

Well as you can see, I have done some decorating for Christmas here on our little blog. It is now full speed ahead with all the Christmas spirit...decorating, baking, shopping, card-making, oh did I say decorating....sorry I just love Christmas! HO HO HO!!!!!!!

"Survivor" night - week 9

It was the best! A most memorable show ever......they kicked off the right person......he had to go.....he was a big jerk.....and thats me being kind! Randy is gone and the other Survivors duped him good....applause, applause! "Survivor night" was at cardzgal's house, we had pizza, wings and ceasar salad....no! no beer, we had to keep our wits about us....LOL. Dessert was a mini mincemeat tart (or tartlet) and a dulce de leche ice cream round......yummmy!! The whole night was the best....what will next week bring, maybe more surprises. Our cards this week were made with last months Great Impressions stamp of the month.

"Survivor" night - week 8

Its been a week since the last Survivor show was on....just a little behind in my posting. I did dinner, I made a spaghetti casserole (a new recipe- very easy) with a salad and texas garlic toast then to finish off we had caramel cheesecake for dessert. I was surprised on who the Survivors kicked off, they never seem to pick the right person in my opinion.....I always want them to kick off the person who I don't want to win....EVER! Keeping my fingers crossed that they kick off Randy tonight. Last weeks stamp is from Harmonie, a clear stamp of Santa. Here are the cards from last week.

Next weeks stamp is a Great Impressions.....I guess I mean tonight...LOL!

With some practise...

I attended the morning water-colouring class, and wish I could have stayed for the afternoon one too...next time, Krista is a great teacher, I would recommend it to anyoneand I should have done it sooner. It was a big class, saw some regulars from other classes, demo days and our card exchange. I did learn some helpful tips and with some practise I may do some more water colouring....NO the statement should read - I will do more water colouring. So I'm wondering how many water-coloured cards are there going to be at the next exchange...LOL. If you read the store's blog, E has put in a link to a blog for hints and tips and colouring charts for some of the sunshine design stamps and I thought I would add it also to this entry and also to the blog list. http://parisestates.blogspot.com/
Have a great week-end. I think I'm gonna practise my water-colouring...no, no I am going to practise my water-colouring!

"Survivor" night - week 7

Its that time again, "Survivor" night show-and-tell. Well the survivors got another twist thrown at them....new tribes again, how they do scramble to save their butts. It was a great blindside on who they kicked off....though I got to say he was one of the nice ones on the show....as far as I could tell. I wonder what kinda Doctor he is? I wouldn't mind my doctor looking like that...well for some ailments anyways...LOL.
It was my turn to do dinner, I made a lazy cabbage roll casserole with potatoes and for dessert a lemon curd filled coffee cake (I bought it) with fresh raspberries and kiwi....note to self-cardzgal doesn't like kiwi. Also had a hot apple cider brewing on the stove....it smells so nice in and tastes good too.
Now onto the cards, we used a stamp from Rubber Stampede called Santa Collageand here is what we did with it this week.

Might inspire me...

Did you read the store's blog? Did you go to the link she posted? I may have to do some more water colouring, especially after I take the class on Saturday...thanks E for sharing. Inspiration - I need all I can get.

A poll and picture changes

Okay so I maybe have gone a little overboard where this blog is concerned but oh what fun and frustration times I have had. As you can see I have changed the slideshow thing....couldn't figure out how to add the last card exchange to the slide show....I couldn't remember what I did last time....ahhhhhhhh my memory, thats a story for another time. So I made 2 albums of the previous years card exchanges and this years cards are put into a slideshow. I also added a little poll for everyone to play along and also for those of you who like to do Suduko puzzles, I added that to the bottom along with a Christmas countdown...enjoy.....maybe some Christmas music if I can find it.......too much????????

Last exchange day

I think I have all the tags I need for this Christmas giving, between last years tag exchange and this years...wuhoooo! Do any of us have the same gift receivers where we would use the same gift tag?....Mmmmmmmmmm, I wonder...lol. Well all the tags were great, some really good ideas that I will have to file away before giving away the tags. Here is a picture of the tags, plus as you can see I have made a few changes to our little blog here....its still a big learning curve for me, I should make notes so I know what to do next time....anyways....here's the pic.

An Extra Hour

Happy Daylight Savings Day....did you remember to set your clocks back?

"Survivor" night - week 6

Oh WOW.....Sugar voted for Ace!.....I can't believe she really did it...maybe they are starting to play smart now.....Randy needs to go now....don't like him....I'll say it now....If Randy wins, I'll never watch another episode of "Survivor"....and I mean that!....LOL
On to dinner....an Italian Supper Bake was made by cardzgal with a ceasar salad and then for dessert a yummy lemon bar square...Mmm Mmm GOOD! I think long walks after Survivor is what I need to do instead of sitting and watching Grey's Anatomy....maybe next week...lol
As I said in my last entry, this weeks stamp is from Yvonne Albritton, she had a booth at the Novi rubberstamp show in August. Here are our cards...lots of colouring...phew!
