A Busy Weekend indeed.....

Tonight is a late night for me, but I know that I will have a lot going on this weekend, and really wanted to get a post in. I wanted to show you what I made.....


Patterned Paper: Daisy D’s
Small and Large Acrylic circles: Picture It Pageframes
Chipboard Shapes and silver glitter: Making Memories
Metallic Foils and foam adhesive: Six2
Paint: Plaid
Ribbon: Offray

What do you think? I am so excited about it, I love, love, LOVE how it turned out! You see I was inspired by another Picture It Pageframes wall hanging. You see, my gal Trisha did an article in the Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine and I did a Pageframes project for it. I am loving the fun I am having with it, so I figured that I would mix it with Daisy D's Christmas paper and rubons.

What else..................

Tonight we had a nice visit with our neighbours. They came over to just chat. Well, mostly the men. They talk like motorboats, hard to get a word in edgewise, LOL.

They sat and dicussed their quadding adventures and had a few beers. And they were the weirest looking things I ever saw!


They were like, well remember the old "stubbies"? That is what they looked like.

And that twist off cap. Like cracking open a pop bottle rather than a typical beer cap. But that wasn't the weirdest thing about the cap.

On the inside of the cap, there were pictograms. You had to guess the phrase. Like this:



You see? Picture puzzles. Can you guess them? They're pretty easy, but let me know what you think they are! You know, just for the heck of it.

And so this weekend.......

Yep, will be busy!
1. Trevor is getting ready for a hunting trip he has been planning FOREVER! I will be happy if he shoots something this year.

2. I am planning to take Jakers to go see Santa and get some Christmas shopping done.

3. I got a party to go to! Jessi is having a housewarming bash!

So, that is my weekend. Enjoy yours too!
