HELLO!!! DId you all miss me??

Deb-what great pressies-did you get my card-you will get a package soon-but as Auntie M says "perfection takes time"LOL

WEll, boy did I have a busy weekend!! On friday, I left about 9:30 and the only prblem was the guy when I crossed the border wasn't nice-but he was HOT!! I got in about 3:15 and we went on a tour of Barrie, went to a couple garden shops and went for dinner. Then went to Betty's unleaded my car and Betty opened her Bday pressies-she LOVED them!! Then on Sat, up bright and early, base coated some things, and then went for a tour around the Georgian Bay-so pretty-went to this warehouse place where I got some neat garden things for hardly any money-I think my most expensive thing was $7 canadian $$-all togehter I spent about $22 american $$!! There was a metal butterfly that both Betty and I loved, but neither of us got-about 3' X 2' or so-only $20 american $$!!! WE then went to HD to get some wood and went home. After we ate some pizza-which I had to to get to be able to pay for as Betty didn't want me paying for things like food, I also asked about something her DGS loves called Poutine-it is fresh cut fries, that after they come out of the fryer have mozzarella cheese and brown gravy on-sounded weird, so when I asked about it, they gave me a free sample that was more like an reg order size-HUGE!!! And it was pretty good!!

Then on Sunday we made 4 sleighs, 2 sets of wooden candles, a pressie, and some wooden butters. I will take a pic. Oh-we also did some chalkbord plaques and Betty showed me some painting techniques. WE were POOPED!! On Monday we mainly finished up some touch ups on a few projects, then did my 1st sewing project which is a pressie, so you won't see it til the person gets it and posts pics. Betty showed me some simple shortcuts that save a bunch of time and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. It wasn't perfect, but I think for my 1st project it turned out good:) 1 thing I learned was to have a plan of what you want to do and have some prep work already done for it-that is how you get things accomplished at a fast rate:)

On tues am, I was up about 7:30 and left about 9am-got home about 3:15, ate lunch and relaxed for a while while chatting with DH-he is so sweet-he made me a cake:) I did get stopped and searched at the border-guy was nice and all, but asked me all kinds of ??, like Betty's name, her address, how I met her, which things I made/which I bought, searched all my bags-he didn't search my duffle thank god as someone going through my dirty socks and underwear would not have been nice...asked me if the car was mine, how many times I had been across the border, I was surprised he didn't ask me my shoe size and date of my last cycle!!LOL

THis is what I bought
