I won!

I posted a shaker card a few post back with a digital image from Wink Wink Ink, and Guess what, I won!! First time ever wining anything on blogs. Yeah! I went shopping for my $15.00 prize, so it was hard since there are a few images I like but wasn't sure I would ever use them. I can't wait to play with them. I also seen they are getting ready for a 1 year anniversary later this week. So, I'll keep checking to see what kind of fun these ladies come up with. Congrats! Off to do some cleaning and organizing some more, never ending! Ginger

Merry Christmas

Wishing you all a

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Catching up!

Hope you all are good! Are you all getting ready for Christmas? Doesn't seem like Christmas yet to me. Guess it isn't yet! We still have to put up our tree maybe this week or this weekend for sure. We made all our cookies Saturday and buckeyes but hubby ran out of gas to dip them. So for now they are naked! He said tonight he'd get them dressed. I say this it loads of work and won't do them without his help. We will see. Been snowing for a few days but not hard. It was melting away as fast as it cam down until yesterday. We are starting to get a little snow and slippery roads. I could do without both.

I wanted to let you know about the awesome Grab Bag from the wonderful designers at VDBC. It is well worth the money. $35.00 worth of files for $7.00. They also just released the December Newsletter Here. Go check it out Kitty is giving a free file and has an Etching tut. Great job ladies! Thank You!!

Well I need to go work on some cards. I should get my Christmas cards in the mail. Enjoy Life!

Veterans Day

Hope you all thanks a veteran today. I thanked my hubby (he is the only one I've seen today). I have done thanked others on facebook.

Thanks for your comments! Love them! Still amazed about the voting thing.

I have to work on 3 computers (customers that are here) and my MIL needs updated, next week (she is still on dial up). So big updates are done here or I take them to her, then update. I should get busy but I need some fun time.

Off to work on some cards after lunch, wish me luck, having trouble getting to them.

Enjoy!

Voting and parents

Well I got a post about voting and parents? To tell you what I think, no some schools and parents don't teach this. I know both my school and parents taught me about voting.

Wish schools would teach kids at the high school age at least a semester or quarter about life, voting, checkbooks, credit cards, loans, jobs, family life, maintaining cars and houses. This should be a must for all students, I think!

Sure would help them be more responsible and be accountable!

Vote

Did you remember to go vote? We voted weeks ago by absentee ballot. Hubby wasn't sure if he would be in the state. Well it turned out he is. He got a bid back in his yard for a backhoe operator. He even brought home photos of it on his phone. LOL, don't tell him I laughed.  But to me one John Deere backhoe is the same as any backhoe. He is the only one on this team right now, the other positions are still open for bids. So, for now he is helping with yard maintenance, roads or tracks.

Austin is doing great and back to going in and out the doggie door as he pleases. Last night he caught another cat in the garage on his way out. He chased him out to the barn. When I seen him, he was all puffed up. Feels good! We wormed him the other day since he was due. The barn kitties will be due next week and then everyone will be back on the same schedule. Makes it easier with all these barn cats.

Well go vote if you didn't already, many men and women have fought or given up their lives for this right. Including my grandfather, FIL, and hubby. Make them proud and VOTE!
