Goodness! so much going on around here! My parents came, our son came home, we still have the three brothers here. Life is good!  We say good bye to some tomorrow and hello to our daughter. Looking forward to the holiday’s. 

You might notice today’s card is the same sketch as yesterday ( I do that a lot!) and you can expect more as the week goes on but we will have a Easter card, valentines card, and today’s St Pat’s, and a Christmas for Friday.  Whew that might be a run on sentence 😏

Birthday

   
 
Today’s card is in honor of my neice Hallie who turns 17 today !  Happy Birthday Hallie. 

Half our company has arrived… my brother Brad and a couple of our ministers Bruce & Eric. My parents will arrive today…although their beds are actually at my sisters but I will cook for the crew. My brother in law and sister will be working most days but they are awesome about helping with clean up.  So our hearts are happy and enjoying our time together.

Christmas Cards, Coffee, Snowman

   
 
Good Morning! Today brings more data entry! 😳. I did stop yesterday to work on my Design & Treasure  (D&T) project. D&T is a Friday night class held before Heirloom Production Conventions. There are four teachers, four projects at 1/2 hour long. I will be doing this project: a gift card holder. It was fun and easy, oh and quick too!

Christmas Cards

   
   
good morning. We continue to make progress on our POS system. slow, tedious work!  my favorite kindπŸ™„ not how I wanted to spend the “off the road” time but looking on the bright side … if it would have happened in the middle of a show that would have been a nightmare!

Christmas Cards

   
    
 
Good Mornng! Today finds us still in Yuma, AZ. I didn’t get as much work done yesterday so today I stayed at the trailor while Kevin went to his Mom’s. I’m getting nervous that the work is not getting done ( too much talking and distractions 😜) so I’m all by myself and working like mad to get all the make n takes stuffed! Kevin did offer to stay and help but I figured I could get more done by myself.  I need to do enough for both the Carson show and Madison show since the rest of days will all be spent in travel. We need to be pulling out by 6 am tomorrow so this is my last opportunity to get things accomplished.

Good Morning.  We are back on the road again!  Left yesterday after church around 12:30 pm. We drove to Altoona IA which is near Des Moines IA. We hope to make it to Dodge City KS tonight. Had a good rest and a McDonalds breakfast. Kevin loves their coffee and I like the $1 Diet Coke😊
So blogging while driving is not so easy. the truck is a pretty rough ride and the phone is small and hitting the letters is a challenge. I have no idea why the large space today and could not get rid of itπŸ˜‰

October 30th BOO!

Halloween

   
    
   
Happy Halloween!  

We’ve had a very productive day today.  Finished cleaning out the garage. Does anybody need an ice scrapper for their car?? We found 9!! Yes. that is correct 9!  Good Grief!

I then spent the afternoon stamping.  I had so much fun. It was one of those days that everything you touched turned out. The down side to that,  is that the ideas were coming so fast that it looks like a cyclone hit my stamping desk. 

  
This is the project my sister and I did Thursday morning. It’s a paper tea cup. Cut it out on the brother machine. Love that machine!

October 29 Too Many Ghosts

Halloween

   
   
we didn’t get to garage cleaning yesterday…too many orders and  that’s a good thing 😊. We are going back to that project today !  

My sister came over to use my brother machine but I think it really is to get me to do her project!  πŸ˜‰.

Halloween

   
   
It’s still spooky around here!  Cleaning out the garage the last few afternoons. My sister came for supper last night and thought we had just made a big mess. You need to make a mess to get it all sorted. We had boxes in there from when we sold the retail store which was in 2009.  That was 6 years ago! Gracious! 

Can’t wait till its done but don’t think we will get it all done before we have to leave. Making stamps for orders today and then to the dump. Since we are going to the dump which is in Green Bay we are taking some storm windows in that need the glass replaced. So there goes the afternoon πŸ˜‰.

For those waiting for the new brother machine. it is available again. The price is $299.00 not $179.00 like I was told!  We have made the decision not to sell it. They offer us no incentives and there is no monetary profit so it just doesn’t make sense to sell it. We will continue to use it in our make n takes because I love the machine. 

 I have supper duty tonight so making BBQ ribs, baked potatoes, snickers salad and buns. It already smells good in the house.

Hello!  We are still having summer like days and running air conditioner. Not complaining , winter and snow will be here soon enough. Did some cleaning today so just getting out to the shop. I need to barcode all the stamps. I will be working late into the night.

 Kevin has a free day to change oil  in vehicles and then tonight he is taking our nephew, Drew, to the shooting  range for his birthday. I’m not sure who is more excited- Kevin or Drew? πŸ˜‰
