Victoria Harbour, ON

Laura, you are just too funny..

Fell asleep so easily last night..tossed turned all night and then into a deep sleep...then about 1/2 hr. or so the dog was going crazy,man was at my door, said he'd gotten a call (taxi) to drive someone from this address to Toronto..well, all my light were out, no sign of life, and this guy is insisting he has a pick-up, then proceeds to tell me that he needs me to call local tow truck because he's in the ditch next door, so I get my telephone book out, find the number and before I can dial, he's back at the door, confirming my address and says, 'someone here called a taxi' yup, it's either he's been sleeping part of the night and just got awaken or he's had a few to drink..more likely the 2nd....so, here I am, on my morning to sleep in and I'm up and at it...not nice...lol...

Liz, I'll take photo of the geese pieces as I have a few already cut out and painted..always do extra's..will post close up for you to see..it's pine but it hasn't been put through the playner..most of my primitive pieces are done in same so that is has a nicer look to it...

Tropicanna, so you got to meet some nice people, just a reminder..you can look, but no touching...lol...is your daughter getting excited about halloween?

Dawn, how about posting some photo's of the 'hot momma' for all to see...

Well, I'd better get my homework projects out, class tomorrow..talk later, maybe I should just crawl right back into bed and try and get a couple hours rest...decisions/decisions...

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

get all the rest you can.. might help with those headaches.

dont want to go to bed as my hair looks sooo cool... lol funky even!

Now where did garden girl get to?

Glenview, IL

Good Morning,
Today is to be very busy before I get off ...got 3hrs to finish all! Then it's off for the weekend...DS to present his work in the confrence, I am a little excited to see what he has been working on. He is pretty creative in using recycled peices and has been collecting odd pieces frm around the house, Wonder what he's doing with a mouse trap??

So nice to snuggle back to sleep. With our weather changing I sure don't wanna get up either.

Spending time with your sis is awsom. No matter what the occasion for sure. hahha, sharing the love with the tease...perfect sisterly love! Enjoy...P.S. I am sure yours are better!

How fun to do something different with your hair! Yep hows about a picture?

Oh Betty, quite costly for glasses, but worth every penny if that make those headaches go away...not to mention you'll be able to SEEE, LOL Hope your day is fun.

well, better get to work here...first project get my coffee!

Liz,
Your post made me think of this. Forget where it was posted and by whom. Gita

A little food for thought for today...........From some dear soul on Daves Garden...

Stress

A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued,
"And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. "

"As with the glass of water,
You have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again.
When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.
Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you're carrying now,
Let them down for a moment if you can."

So, my friend, Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now.
Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while.

############################

Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.

* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

* Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.

* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply be kind to others.

* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

* The second mouse gets the cheese.

* When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

* We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

*A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Clemmons, NC(Zone 7b)

Wonder, glad to hear things are going well

Betty, you're funny...touch? I wouldn't dare, his girlfriend was a lovely person too..lol...but it isn't often you meet a person that's good-looking cool, funny AND happy. He flung innuendo around too (and y'all know I hate that..lol)...after I commented that we missed our cat and that it was better to have two...can't repeat what he said but it was funny

still raining, but I'm going to the nursery anyway, can't let all the good stuff go

Victoria Harbour, ON

Thanks Gita..going to print that one...I always enjoy reading those types of 'inspirational' words..

Dawn, NEED to see photo's of new hairdo .. you are brave to go 'far out' wish I was as brave...but then I'm old..lol...

I really have tried to locate Tangie (Jan) from sending cards, to contacting their municipality and getting tel.#'s, e-mail/fax etc....made several calls and left messages to no avail..so guess we'll just have to keep praying that she is well and one day will join us...her subscription was ending in a few days and someone extremely considerate and special (truly not me) paid for an extension so that if she was able to, her subscription would still be active...

Now you all have to see how very close we've all become..how we open arms to all who want to join us, how we care about the wellbeing of each other and of their families...internet acquaintances???? no, no my friends, much more than that...we have become part of each others lives..always concerned about the others...

Well, keep thinking it should be afternoon by now..I've even got my homemade turkey soup on...and boy did I screw up..

Got up early, took everything out of the china cabinet and washed it down, dusted everything in the living room, vacuumed, did the windows, did my homework on the piece I'm doing and did 2 extra's (one never knows when you need a gift) and then sat down for coffee...and my mind is working as to get the most out of the day and I think, ok Betty, it's time to finish that wall the contractors did, sand the mud so you can prime and paint it, ready for new curtains..yep..that's putting the cart before the horse isn't it..once I sand - all that drywall dust will be all over and I'll have to do everything all over again..can you imagine..as if I didn't have enough work to do, I've just created more...lol...

So I'm off for now..once my shift here at home is over I've to go and pick up wood for some projects...perhaps even get some cut...

Talk later...

Victoria Harbour, ON

Laura, know as I type this you are resting (trying to support your new hairdo) lol...want to let you know that I did receive the parcel..like a child I didn't even make it out of the Post Office before opening it...I so love everything you've sent..the angel will be cherished as will the other gifts...I'm overwhelmed...you have a heart of gold...

Well upstairs I go, making homemade stew so that tomorrow after I get back from painting I'll have supper made..restaurant is closed for 1 week due to management change so must cook for myself..yep..I'm a cooking..

Liz will post photo of the wood I just picked up which you should try to get for the geese and will also post photo of mdf so you get an idea of what kind of wood I used for the sleigh..

have santa's ready to ship out with glitter/snow ...

anyone else want to join our internet craft day challenge???

Victoria Harbour, ON

mdf - for sleighs - can be purchased at Home Depot

OHHH, thanks for the pic, got a better idea what I am looking for! Getting my list together to go shopping. Invited a friend to make a sleigh with our on-line seminar, and she is excited to come. Thought it was a real cool idea...me too.

Well, got back from conference-We were pleased. DS did a real nice job in conducting it, and he was pretty touched by the letter dad wrote. I am smiling.

Big bummer i wasn't able to participate in this years festivities. Will make my contribution tomorrow, also decoration will remain up until HW so I'll still be able to take pictures...On the upside, everything got done and I left at 11:30! So nice outside we are tending to some chores-see you later

Victoria Harbour, ON

Judy, priorities/priorities....will be a lasting memory that you attended DS conference..Halloween's halloween...right? we'll still get to see your photo's...Have them all here..you have to tell me Judy how many you want..I clipped off excess white material...why pay for the extra weight when you'd just cut it off anyway..you'll all have to do some cutting...

Will get some shipping envelops and get them ready..no time tomorrow as I'll be at class all day but will get Suzanne to drive me to the post office Monday or Tuesday...

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

whata doll! dont ou think gang??

Victoria Harbour, ON

Just going to add 'what a pretty lady' head turner for sure...don't you fret about that 8 lbs. you'll get rid of it in no time...wonder why we all want to be thin so much...I take time now when I see someone on the heavier side to look at their beauty and those I speak with have such a sense of humour and caring and compasion to them...why do we want to change that....maybe we should just be changing our hairdo's (lol) the way we dress, add a few jewels, lipstick and walk with the grace of a model..yup that's what I'll do as I dress for my painting class this morning..pretty myself up...hmmm now won't that outfit look lovely when I finish my day!!!

Off I go..will post photo of my artwork this evening..it's raining outside, rather cool so won't be wasting a sunny day inside..always makes me feel better about the day..

bye for now

Jim Falls, WI(Zone 4a)

Hi all. Just spent half an hour reading all my threads. Now that I think of it it was all good news other then those that have the ickies. A good way to start the day.

You guys all enjoy Betty's class. I will probably lurk and enjoy it.

I bet Gardengirl is on today telling all about her first week of work. Wonder how Murphy handled it?

Laura you sound so good. Sounds like you have a great day planned.

Dawn I love your new haircut. My is too fine to do that. Don't worry about the 8lbs. If that is all you have gained you can take it off in a month or so.

Liz The people that steal are so good at it. They have taken a Pregnancy test kit out of the box and left the box. Opened a 3 pack of kleenex(the square boxes)and walked out with one. Now how do they do that? I know wait until we are busy. We find empty hangers all the time. Yes some people leave the hangers and bring up the clothes. They switch pieces on the 2 piece outfits. Oh yes it is interesting.

Betty not that I want to be thin. But 20 lbs. would make me feel better and move easier. Then If I wanted I could lose another 30. But I don't want to go that far. Have lost some in the 9 months I have been working. 10-15 but noboby has noticed. I know it has to do with how I dress but I am starting to notice it more all the time and I feel a bit better about myself. Gaining the weight has not been good for my poor self esteem.

On that note

Best thing Today is my last of 5 work days in a row.

Worst thing We got rain someone else could of used.

What did I learn nothing?

Pacifica, CA

morning all,

busy day going to begin

dawn, great cut dont even worry about 8lbs you look great!

betty, have fun in side

vicki, they never cease to amaze us we had one switch nail polish on the shelf, another take a 100.00 flat iron out of the box and put the box back neat, take makeup

jeannine, hope you had a great 1st week back to work did murphy behave?

everyone have a great day liz

Newcastle, ON(Zone 5a)

Good Morning,

Goodness, Dawn your gorgeous! What stunningly pretty eyes you have, Love green eyes. Something very magical about them.
...Dunno about 8lbs. You'll loose it, I guess try not to stess over it will make it harder to loose. I just know there's a bigger heart to love more, recieve. (hope that came out right) Anyway I think your new doo is just adorable on you...

Yep, I am awaiting to hear all about Jeannine's new job...sure hope ther Murphster handles it pretty good too. He must be in his glory this weekend with everyone home, specially ma.

Ves, nice way to start the morning...I spent alot time last night reading all around DG, Very easy for me to get lost in this community...so much to learn, laugh and cry about. Sooo many places to visit--I have travelled the world here...How's the colors by you? I bet they are simply beautiful. We are just now starting to peak here in IL

Betty, How cute...can just picture you in the post office ripping open your package! So glad your Angel has arrived! Nothing like a rainy day to allow indoor fun and activity. Today is a sunny day here for a bit, will take advantage for some outdoor work. Yesterday WE worked outside, brought all my knombes in and today will scrub them down and set them about their winter places in the sunroom. Think I've told you they were my mom's so they never stay out in the off season, trying to decide if i should re-paint them or leave them as they are...Not exactly sure what the family is doing today, but I will have my fun outside...lots to do, Poor garden has been grossly over neglected...Guess what? I noticed a new shoot on one of my Roses-Joseph's Coat!! Planning on checking out the rose forum and ask some questions...maybe I can bring her back if anyone here has any suggestions I would love to hear them...I guess i am just afraid to move her...Then if it rains well, got some ornaments to work on....And I too am axiously waiting for a package from our Laura...woohoo, my kids will be excited to tell me it's from Australia!! Thank you for forwarding my address.

Hey Liz...is today the big Bake off? How fun is that. Got a call from my baby sis last night! Was so very glad to hear from her. We talked for hours. She is a chef! We are planning Thanksgiving. And Guess I am really excited as she has asked me to help plan her Official Wedding for April!! They were married by justice but now they can afford a little ceromony...I will be creating her bouquet as a gift, all silk.
Will be thinking of you, with a big smile on my face.

Laura, Are you going to show us a pic of your new doo Too! How fun. Trying to decide myself what to do with my mop!
I sure hope your weekend has been wonderful, playing outside, enjoying your new digs-patio...Will be watching the mail!

Well I've written a chapter and haven't told you all...Remember, the photo's of my neices and nephews? Well as stated had to take them myself..LOL. But that was the weekend of my Sister's "Ghost Feast" The one year anniversay (memorial) of her passing. Also the time in which we as a family and friends gathered. Something happened to me that weekend that I can't explain but I have been Exhilierated from the experience! My energy levels have simply soared and I just can't stay focused on one given thing! Mind is racing to get things done and start projects long awaiting...LOL, I can't seem to focaus on all I want to say, their is just so much to say! I do know this...
I am so greatful to all of you, Thank you so very much for all your support and prayers in one of the most devestating years of my life. You can't even imagine how you have all helped me through so much lonliness and heartache. Each and everyone of you have opened your hearts to me and I just wanted you to know what a pleasure it is for me. Thank you...I love you all.

Ok sorry so long/short for me but I needed tell you this today!
You all have a wonderful weekend...Sun's out so I am off to get dirty!
See you later

Victoria Harbour, ON

Wow, go painting and look at my friends..busy/busy, chatty/chatty...lol...

Don't know why I sign up for the type of classes which are ultra modern because they are just not me..the piece is very textured and roughly painted (meant to be) so I struggle with keeping it simple..it has orange tinge to it so I'll frame it and give it to Suzanne who has a deep orange kitchen ..frame is stained but not quite sure what I'll do with it from here on in..as well, worked hard, almost got 2 done..finish the 2nd in the morning..always nice to have a gift or 2 sitting incase of someone dropping by...

Signed up for another 1 1/2 day session...other than a couple of friends being in it I have no clue why I signed up..but, sure to have fun unless of course there is a blizzard going on..lol...

I still had my gifts in the car Laura, so of course I had to bring inside and show everyone...

Judy you sound so up/up, how nice it is to hear that in your posts..DH must wonder if he's got the same lady living with him...hmmm....how's that van of yours..no problems I hope...bet the kids are anxious for Halloween??? I've to get liquid for the fogger, pop and candies and I'm ready..maybe tomorrow I'll pop into town..

Judy and others who would are doing the christmas projects (all are more than welcome..I've lot's of santa's)
anyway, along with the material will be an envelop with sparkles and snow..DO NOT open it until it's time because it will be all over the place...lol..Vicki why don't you join us..it's all in fun..nothing serious..just friends having a good time..gladly send a kit..please do join us..

Starzz..love the tile..did you do it on your own?? love the color choices..if you've done it on your own, I'm inviting you for the weekend, gee, I'll invite you anyway and you won't even have to do the tiles...1 1/2 hr drive..that's all..

Girlfriends coming tomorrow to play..I'm cutting a few new pieces and hopefully they'll be done by nightfall...then it will be back to work on Monday..

Painting studio picked Dec.7th for our workshop day..usually about 20 attend..always lots/lots of fun..so I'd better get cutting..didn't realize it either, Dec.8th is when we tentatively arranged our family Christmas seeing I'm leaving for Florida around the 20th..not sure how I'll manage all of it, but seems the busier I am, the more I can accomplish...
Well, did a stew yesterday, one of my favorites, so guess I'll go warm it up..best to sit right at the stove so I don't forget I'm cooking and burn it...that would be something I would do...



Victoria Harbour, ON

Photo doesn't do the piece justice because you can't see all the dimension i.e. pears/shelf/background..but here is an idea what it looks like...

This is the sleigh and the photo is what will be painted on it..

Victoria Harbour, ON

You can see the pears are really primitive, then the santa a little more tole painted but what I do enjoy is my realism..here is a piece that I've almost completed..beautiful tray, trying to decide if I want to make folding legs that hold in so it can be used for tea (as if I think I'd need such a thing), much too big to just hand it on a wall..have no clue what I'll do with it..any suggestions...

GASP!!!! OMG that is amazing!!!
ok, my xmas project is going to be stick figures you know right?!!

Victoria Harbour, ON

night all!!!!

Richmond, VA(Zone 7a)

Hello Dear friends.

Laura, no package yet. I'm keeping my eyes peeled.

Dawn, you are absolutely beautiful! I love your hair!!!

So, I survived my first week back at work and really enjoy the people I am working with. Very easy going and basically told me it doesn't matter where I work (home or the office) as long as I get my work done!!!! I went in really early yesterday morning because I took DD to her bible breakfast. By getting in at 7, I caught my boss trying to get in and print some work and get back out before anyone arrived! HA! Good thing about that was he saw how early I got in!!!

Anyway, worked until around 4 and then had to go buy soda and chips for DD's halloween party she and a bunch of friends were having at SOMEONE else's home!! I tell you what...I am not one of those moms who can sit around and watch kids just having fun, spilling a drink here or there, drop chips, run all over the place and not be so stressed out to need a valium.

The mom and Dad for this party are my heros! We're talking FORTY FIVE 11-13 yr old BOYS AND GIRLS! She had to break up the "make-out room a acouple of times and finally just locked all of the doors upstairs except the one with the playstation. Of course with any group of pre-teens, there was plenty of drama! Thank God I missed it! I went over at 10 to check on them and ushered kids into the house and down from upstiars and out of the bathroom (hiding in the shower!). I just walked around with my eyes bugged out and my hand over my mouth just going "OMG! OMG!" In between, I was laughing my butt off at these kids!!! At 11:00, parents showed up and the kids started coming out of the woodwork. I was amazed! I was also amazed that only ONE parent came inside to meet the parents and see where their kids was going to be. All of the other parents just dropped their kids off and were gone! And parents wonder why kids get into trouble!!

So the party ended and DD and a friend hit the bed and were out! We all joined them as it was a long day!

Today, I got up and went grocery shopping and caught up on some shows we taped. Have had a bad headache - I'm sure seasonal stuff. Took a short nap in the afternoon then got up and made homemade tacos which everyone loves!! Sitting her now watching my Red Sox play. I want them to win but I want it to be in Boston so the Rockies can win 2 of the games so we can go back east!!

Murphy did well this week - no accidents in the crate. We've got Madison visiting again while his Mom is down visiting her DD at college.

Tomorrow, my DFIL and his companion are stopping by on their way thru town. Thankfully, I don't have to feed them!! ;-) Got to get the house cleaned a bit before they arrive though.

Well friends, until tomorrow.... Have a wonderful night!

Ciao!

Wow, who's the cuttie with the graduation cap on??? he's tall, dark and handsome..

Didn't sleep most of the night..quite a storm..kept thinking those big old oak trees out front might come tumbling down into my bedrom...(only thing that would tumble into my bedroom at this point) lol..tempted to get up and work at 3am..tossed/turned, watched movies and then when I should have gotten up, I fell asleep..now it's 8 in the morning and best part of the day is gone...

Thought I might go over to my girlfriends for coffee..they've put a large extension on their cottage and are up for the weekend.. might be a little early for them so I'll have my 1st cup here..

Should get started on the drywall sanding only 1 wall in living room due to new window being installed..makes such a mess hate to start it, but better make that 'my today' project...
Hope you all enjoy your day...have fun...

Victoria Harbour, ON

Yuk/Yuk...sanding the wall and what do I see...snow coming down..it's light but regardless, it's still snow..right..once it's here and stays for the winter I don't mind it..it's the in-betweens..so guess I'd better leave the sanding and get the last of the garden put to bed...

My friends and I baked all day and cooked dinner for ourselves and Greg because everyone else flaked out. I would be irritated by that too Liz. People are so codependant sometimes.

Thanks that is my son Nicholas and my Dad, George. (My biological dad that I got disowned over having a relationship with)! I think I look like him, Slovich. See thin hair though. Ha? deceivingly thicker hair for a bald eagle. lol

Betty I hate drywall dust, it goes everywhere forever.

Just got back from church so that is the best for today. Our church plays contemporary Christian music and rockish even sometimes, but today they did old bluegrass hymns and it was so fun, like I saw the light.
