3rd Annual DG Christmas Craft Workshop..Pt.2

You guys are too cute...I wear on people, no time for couch potatoes, I'd get them going I'm sure...lol...the 'to do' list really works (for me at least)

WOW!!! It's Monday morning and I'm just getting back to the computer. Somehow I picked up some kind of a virus on it and it has taken Norm the longest time to get rid of it. Plus, I had my quilting friends for the weekend. I'll post pictures of what we made this afternoon. Off to Norm's sister's now for a while.
Betty I am so impressed with your work ethic. You are amazing!!

OMG Barb, thought for a second it was you who had the virus..was thinking, oh no, not when she had her sewing friends over...pfff..thank goodness girl it was only the computer...lol...

QUESTION:

Starting to write labels...do you think I should be putting my Canadian address on the parcels if mailing from USA ... perhaps I should put one of your addresses on it so that if not delivered it would end up somewhere ...

Yes, Betty you should. It shouldn't matter what post office you mail it from, you shouldn't have any problems getting it returned back to you, I'm sure there are lots of people who live on the border that go across to mail this or that, you'd think it would be pretty common. I know it is at the CA/Mexico border.

OK then I'll include my own address....tks Crissy..

Ok I think Betty should start giving talks on getting up and getting moving and get stuff done, I would be the first in line. At lest now my high blood pressure meds seem to be working and my dr. told me I just had to run a little high or I was running one empty. I kept trying to tell him it was like taking a race car off high octain and buting it on regular gas it just wouldn't work right. So for the last two months my blood pressure is staying where he said would be safe for me and I finely am getting more energy, now just have to convence my body it needs to move after being in netural for three years. Every one Have a good day, I'm going to try and get some projects done and clean on a house thats been let go for to long. lol or I may just go out on the porch and watch the birds come into the refuge. Susan

Susan, glad you have your priorities straight..lol..I'd go for the birds...
(or would I???)

Glad your meds are working...

Save that energy for projects 4 and 7 ....

Alright, here we go!

Dave waving to everyone

My friend Eden and me

Our friends Teresa and Andy, they're not a couple, just posing for the pic.

Eden and I can't remember his name :(

I switched threads and didn't know it LOL

This is our friend Josh, last time I saw him he didn't have the beard, I barely recognized him!

This is Tiffany...

I hijacked your thread Betty! Just want to make sure that everyone who wants to see, gets to.

And lastly, I don't know who Patsy Cline really is here, but I wish I had her email to send this pic to her.

Crissy, loved the photo's...no one can hijack this thread..open to everyone about anything...like it that way..

OMG Crissy, you don't know who Patsy Cline is? Well she just about has to be the best country and western singer there ever was...I love to sing her songs, (perhaps a bit off key) had quite a life...ended in plane crash many moons ago...

Got to giggle Betty, I think Crissy meant the person who was being Patsy Cline.
LOL, But then again i could be wrong.

OMG, Thank you so very much for the Angel Card making kit. I just love it. Ah, remembering when you made them last year.
So it was such a wonderful surprise to get one...Received it on Friday.

I have been crazy busy, here...Days are starting merge together. lol, Today is Monday right?

Wow, you have had quite the busy weekend. Always on the go, think thats one of the things I love about you. Heheheh, not to mention you get me in the spirit of all the crafting.

Crissy, How fun!! you and Dave are so cute.

Waiving Hello to everyone...Trina! So glad to see you and flowers have joined the Workshop, hehehe, Unlike you, i am very afraid of painting, hahahah, but just love to play with Betty. ROFLOL, i am hoping the includes Smoosh painting, lol I got that one down, right Betty.

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween.

Ok, got to get busy....Oh, Oh Betty are you going to list what supplies we need? LOL, if it smoosh, i got plenty of saran wrap, hehehe.
have a good day all.

Judy, must go back and read the thread..lol..thought she meant Patsy Cline...ok, so I'm tired..(good excuse right?)

No smooshing sorry...

You'll let me know when you want to do the card...won't take long..all you need really is scotch tape, ok, maybe glue..I'm here when you are ready to start it...

Don't procrastinate..do it today, see how you'll love it..lol
Trying to con you here..know things can get away from you..your schedule being so busy..how did you ever find time to work is my question?

LOL, Betty...
I ask myself that question too! Back then things were crazier then ever.

Today, had to take my van to shop. Didn't pass the emissions test, because aof a sensor light. Major pain in the rump! grrr..so i am without wheels for the moment. and worse they won't renew my plate sticker until i pass...so could end up getting a ticker for expiration!

Speaking of expiration...Don't laugh too hard, cuz you know me and the joy of battery life...They just hate me, lol almost everything i have run on a batteries and every single thing has dead batteries, now my house phone is dead! LOL, that why i haven't ringle jingled you lately!
woohoo...Liz added all kinds of batteries to my wish list, for when Steve asks her what I want...ROFLOL even his battery dies when it comes to remembering what i want, so at least he bugs Liz. ahaha, got to laugh.
whew, at least my cell phone is still new!

Betty, I like the idea of having two candy canes! One will be for my neighbor, Wanda! I'm not good at making bows, but I CAN fluff! Thanks!

Judy/Judy/Judy...you got me laughing out loud...

Audrey, will make the bows...tks

OMG did all the stickers, then stickers for the swaps, then stickers for a few specialty gifts...looking at them and thinking OMG...it will cost a fortune..there goes next weeks salary....won't be doing much shopping on your side of the border this week...not that I needed anything..be window shopping for sure..lol...

Have my list ready for Michaels because if I don't purchase what I need I won't be making pkgs tonight....best I go look to see if there is a discount coupon I can use...

I worded it wrong, I meant I don't know who the girl being Patsy Cline is, but she hit it!

Yes, I know about Patsy Cline's plane crash, she had with The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on that plane but there weren't enough seats so him and someone drew for the seat, I'm thinking that was Buddy Holly he drew straws with, Oh shoot, I can't remember who else was on that plane, but there were like 3 other big big stars. My dad's been to the crash site, said I should go sometime.

The gal said that she was at her 6th bar and I was the only person who know who she dressed up as, now that's sad.

Richie Valance (sp) was on the plane...

Ahhh...wasn't your post Crissy, I didn't read it properly..lol..was good for a laugh though...

I read it wrong when I re-read it LOL that's pretty bad!

Who else was on that plane?

Betty, got my card today,I have no idea how hard this will be?? I can be a little slow sometimes !!!LOL

Betty, I just got my card too. Thank you much.

I'm ready whenever you are...is NOW a good time...

Spent my lunch at Michael's got everything I needed, didn't think it was much but the till said $74.18 yikes....

Dropping into the $1.25 store on my way home..have it calculated that I need 11 roles of that brown shipping wrap to do the job...

Are your Dollar stores now $1.25???

LOL! Our dollar stores are now more like $5.00 and up! Not much for a dollar anymore!

Will you be starting a new thread for the card instructions?

Hi Betty - I got my card today too. Thank you.. Can't wait to see what I do with this.

OK girls, a lot of you got your cards, not one said they'd sit with me and make theirs...come on, only 1/2 hr. - be brave..who will be 1st.

I will!!

Cathy

tell me when you are ready???

make sure you have scotch tape...the glue stick can be for after..don't need it right now..
ahhh pair of scissors...

I m collecting my supples.

Cathy

I leave in 1/2 hr. but will continue with you when I get home should we not finish..truly is simple...

ok im ready

On the front of the actual card is scrapbook paper and a white card with the angel..you will see I cut the corners so that the white card would fit in nicely..gently take the white card out (you'll work on this white card) careful not to break those pretty corners on the christmas scrapbooking paper...

I'll work on this one, you'll work on the angel...all designs are done the same...

Now take your white cut out template and the piece of paper that has the angel with numbers all over...

Again, I cut these by hand so they won't match up 100%...place as best you can and put a little piece of tape on the backside to hold it in place...
