Fun things

This 'n' That

20 Sep

012 copy

I added a fan page on Facebook (it is not allowed to have my blog posts go to my personal Facebook account so I had to do that) it's over on the right column you will see Become a Fan, if you click that I think then you will see stuff (again I am so not Facebook saavy).  

When I was home in Canada I took some fun pictures.

026 copy
This is David Furnish's parent's home, they live near Courtney.  They would be Elton John's in-laws.  I sure would not want to pay to "furnish" this place…or clean it…or wash the windows…or mow the lawn…but I would love to see inside.

017 copy
This is how close my sister Jacqui was to the semi in front of us during heavy traffic through Toronto (we were stopped at the time, she didn't drive that close), we were in her car which is really low and I could actually see under the semi beside us to the car on the other side.  I had never seen so many semis in my life.

025 copy
Courtney asked Jacqui to find her "something in blue" for her wedding. These were just a few suggestions that Jacqui had.  Courtney finally decided on 3 blue brads that spelled out FOX and Mum attached them to her garter.

070 copy
This was an awesome restaurant that Jacqui and I went to called Frankie Tomattos, it was yummy, all you can eat Italian, and everything I had was so good.  They even had one of my favorite ice creams Tiger Stripe.  I love me some black licorice!!!  I need to see if we have it here with the Schwan man.

166 copy
This was where a tornado touched down in Nairn, it is hard to see by the picture, an arial photo would be better, but it goes into the corn field.  Jacqui had taken some pictures of the sky and she said it was doing some wacky stuff that day.  I am glad I missed all that.

156 copy
I thought this was cool, I used to watch the show Holmes on Homes and so it was neat seeing this on the back of the van.  Not as cool as if I had seen Elton John out mowing his in-laws grass but still, I'll take what I can get.

It's been a while since we let the girls out so at 6:30 I said let's go, so Jeff and I sat out. I can't get over how big Fiji is getting.  She is not quite half the size maybe of the other girls, and tonight there was no fighting. Yay!!

024 copy
Still no rooster comb, so I am still crossing my fingers that she is a girl.

029 copy
Here they all are, eating some scratch before bedtime, they weren't out maybe 20 minutes before they headed into their coop to get roosting for the night.  We just pick up Fiji and put her in hers.

I got some awesome swap cards at Founder's Circle and will share some with you over the next couple weeks.  This one is from my friend Susie Wood and I tweaked it to do as one of my Christmas cards for class this weekend. It was awesome hanging out with you Susie.

010 copy
This is Susie's, I love the blues and reds.

011 copy
I had pulled out cardstock and DSP's before I left for Founder's Circle and this is my version of Susie's with the paper I had on hand for class.

I love the new Velvet Stitched Ribbon from the Holiday Mini.

013 copy
So pretty eh? and it is so soft.  I also love the new Dazzling Details glitter glue too.

014 copy
I added it to the tree like garland.

When we left Kanab, we got to fish around in a basket before getting on the bus. Inside the baskets were pieces of the metal plates that make the stamps, painted pretty and with a hole in them, and this is the one I picked.

015 copy
I love those boots!

So did you watch it?  Two & a Half Men?  I love Ashton Kutcher and hope the show keeps up the humor it was sure funny tonight, I won't say much in case you haven't seen it, but if you watched it, what did you think? What was your favorite part?

Well I better be hitting the hay, I want to start getting to bed a bit earlier to catch up my all the sleep I have lost in the last couple weeks. Plus Toby is so happy to have me back, and he is snuggling even closer now.

Have an awesome Tuesday and thanks for stopping in!

A signature white 5

    I thought the part where Allan got scared and threw the ashes all over the room was funny, especially when Berta said she wasn't cleaning him up. I hope they make a go of it.

    Loved the show, can't pick one part that I liked any better than any other but wish Jake had been a bigger part of the show last night. Ashton was hilarious but I hate his hair. Alan carried this first show off very well. Berta is looking old. Holland too. I guess time marches on for all of us.

    I'll have to see if I can find it – I didn't realize it was on last night.
    You posted late this morning?
    I looked at 6:00 AM and nothing was there – did you actually get a chance to sleep in!
    Luv ya

    Hi Tammy, Yeah Jake is really growing up. When was the last time they made one of these episodes? I wonder if that is why people seem older.
    Yeah not a fan of this hairdo for Ashton, but loved that he already showed off his physique!!!

    Holmes on Holmes is on our TV all the time, I love that man. I think he needs to write and test all home inspectors!

    I watched it too. Ashton is a sexay man, eh?

    BUT, he needs to control his giggling & almost laughing face during the more "serious" moments….lol

    I especially love the fact that he was walking around nekked!!! ;o)

    I loved the show. The scene at the funeral was fun with all of the ex girlfriends! Did you also happen to see Castle? That is one of my favorites. What chemistry they have!

    OMG!! Tiger stripe ice cream!! I miss that so much. Going home to Canada is always a food frenzy for us. Trying to get in as much as we can because we don't get that stuff down here:(

    Cards are all fantastic. The 4 1/2 girls (not sure if Fiji is a boy or girl so I gave her 1/2) are really doing great. How many eggs are you up to? The show Two and a Half Men turned out cute. I just watched it to see what was going on. I hadn't watched it in forever. I had gotten bored with the same story all the time. I love the pics of Canada- I would have loved an all you can eat Italian place. I could eat it every meal of every day but we can't have it that often with DH diabetes or my heartburn I get from tomato stuff. Boo. So glad you are back safe and sound.

    Hugs Carey and Roscoe (Hi Toby)

    I am so much of an NCIS fan that I have never seen 2.5 Men in my life! Could never stand Charlie Sheen's character. Might have to look for it on line. My DVR was tied up recording NCIS and the Rays getting whupped on by the Yenguis. Rats.

    I did find it on line and actually watched the whole thing! Dustbuster! snort I've never been much impressed by Ashton before, especially his taste in older women, but he sure is well put together! Don't know if I'll ever watch again, but I can say I watched it once.

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
