Thank You Cards

I'm been busy lately.  So what I've been up to:

A craft/dog/car show this weekend that I was a vendor at.  I made some paintings last week for this event.  Didn't go so well, but the day was beautiful and I had my support team with me (the little mascot and my husband).

Making invitations for Halloween Party (more coming in next post).

Volunteered to make cupcakes for this Friday night for our priest's goodbye party.

Helping Joe take down trees for our firewood for next winter.  We've done about 7 trees so far.

This was the pile 2 weeks ago and has grown.  As you can see the assistant mascot loves to be on top of the world.

Making some scarves for breast cancer walk.  I have to next Friday to get this done.

Setting up a card making party for Saturday (World Card Making Day).  My thought was the girls in the group make cards and the guys take down some trees.  Now it looks like it will rain so the guys will need to hang out and entertain themselves.

And the biggest project was making Thank You cards for my family and friends.  My immediate family threw me a birthday party back in August.  I started to make the cards back after the party, but just got my gifts up here and was able to finally write them out and mail them.  And if you're a family member that reads my blog try and guess which one is coming to you.  All of them are individually made and different. Joe was impressed when I sat next to him and told him exactly who each card was for and asked me how I remembered.  I said it was easy because I took the time to think of the person it was going to and what I think best represented the gift or the person (either the colors, cards, sentiments or image). 

So here are all the cards:

Thanks for looking.

Who Says Good Friends Are Hard to Find

So these folks are our old neighbors that we met 9 years ago.  We had lots of fun when we were neighbors.  Our times include late night bonfires, watching their evil cat, meeting their children and many other memories.  And then we moved away from them and they couldn't keep away.  We had a blast with them at the wedding this weekend. 

 

What do you think....maybe Adam has a little crush on Joe?  Not sure if it was just the drinks flowing or his true feelings.

 

Thanks for the photo bomb, Kerri, you made this picture priceless.

 

 

Joe and I after the ceremony.  The ceremony was right on this lake.

Wonderful Times

This weekend we had a wonderful time in Plymouth, MA.  We had a weekend long wedding that started with a pre celebration clam bake.  Joe and I stayed in a hotel on the beach and got up to see the sunrise yesterday morning and we even saw some seals swimming in the water. We were able to capture these fabulous once of a lifetime photos:

 

And of course we went downtown:

 

Sympathy Card

Entered this card into a housewarming party at:


Housewarming Party

I ran into our neighbor in Walmart the other day, yes up here in this part of the world this is how we usually see our neighbors.  For those of you who don't know we live remote from most of our town.  Our house sits on top of a 100 feet driveway on a 180 degree angle and we have one neighbor through the woods.  However, this neighbor that I made this card for moved a while back and now lives about 1 1/2 miles away instead of half a mile.  He proceeded to tell me that he lost his best friend last Tuesday, his dog.  This dog has  been his little buddy and went everywhere with him just like my little shadow.  A few years ago, not sure how many, his wife got sick and passed away.  BJ sat on her bedside while she was ill taking care of her.  Bob said he will never forget the love that BJ has shown him and will miss him riding shotgun.  Bob and BJ were among the first people that we met in our town when I was walking Skippy by one day and he always has time to chat with you for a couple of minutes.  Skippy and BJ got along great.  The hardest part for me is to tell Skippy that another friend of his has passed.  So far Skippy has lost about 5 or more friends. 

So here is the card that we will send to Bob:

And I'm adding this into the card.  I printed it out and laminated it.

MY OWH Wall

This is the wall of all the letters and photos I have gotten from our heroes.  Looking pretty good and making me proud of what I do with getting all the appreciation letters.
