My WSOAPP Swap has ARRIVED!!

We have done a couple swap within the group WSOAPP but this time was a little different. We knew who we were sending to but we didn't know who was sending to us, so it was a surprise to see what you got and from whom! Well the deadline to get our packages out is today...mine is being packed up this morning...nothing like waiting till the last minute!! (Shame on me!) Well in our group forum there was a discussion thread where everyone was giving an update on where they were at at getting their package out and Pam of Back in the Day Primitives said that she mailed hers last week and that it had a LONG way to go so I KNEW that she got stuck with me! LOL I say that because shipping to me isn't the cheapest and I always feel bad for the person that gets stuck sending gifts to me.

Yesterday I read that post and sure enough I got a parcel pick up note in the mail later that day! I had to wait till after supper to go get it because we don't live in town and I was going to a Pampered Chef party at 7pm so I waited instead of making two trips off the mountain. I killed me though! As always I was running behind so I ran to pick up my parcel real quick (I was right it was from Pam!!), hit the bank machine and landed at my friend Janice's with this HUGE box! It was 6:55 at this point and I walked right in the house with the box, went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, apologized to the host of the pampered chef party and said that I couldn't wait to see what was in the box, and proceeded to open my goodies right in the middle of the party!!! Everyone was on the edge of their seat waiting to see what I got! It was just like Christmas!! :o) I got the sweetest Annie doll that has tons of details on her, a welcome plate that hangs with sheep and a willow tree painted on it and a tin punched willow tree wax warmer that lights up with a big bag of cinnamon bun wax crumbles!!! One of the girls grabbed the bag and just sat there smelling it for the longest time, she was in heaven. Then I had to pry it out of her hands and pack everything up so Angie could start the Pampered Chef party!!

Thank you soo much Pam!!!! I absolutely love, love, love it all!! Everything is already put in its new home and looks fabulous!

Tall Ships ~ Halifax ~ Parade of Sail

Today we took the boat to Halifax harbour to watch the parade of sail! There were over 40 boats from 14 different countries. The Bounty was there from the movie the Pirates of the Caribbean. It was made in Nova Scotia! And the second largest 4 masted tall ship in the world from Germany! It was huge! It is 376 feet long! The weather was perfect and the ships were amazing.

FINALLY! I have something listed on E-BAY!!!

Well I finally did it! I have a doll on E-Bay. I figured I better get something on there for our group launch before I got the boot for not participating in any group activities!! I just can not seem to find the time to do on-line and the store. Well I literally spend the last two days just working on the details of her! I spent the last few hours doing up the auction template...once on the wrong Ebay...I started it on .com and when I was almost finished I got to the shipping part and relized I was on the wrong one...so I went under .ca and got all my pictures uploaded and I back spaced too many times and lost them...but now it is finished.

Then theme for the launch is "Whispers Under an Autumn Moon" So I created Penelope. She is a goth girl that can talk to her Raven on the full autumn moon! If you get a chance to check her out the title of this post should take you right to her! :o)

Ok I have been on here for too many hours I must go to bed! :o)

KC Willis Studio Retreat!!

I am a member of KC Willis Collage Camp and she has an amazing on-line class but now she is offering to teach you in person!!!! If I had the means to get there I would but maybe you can! If you live in or around the Colorado area you should check it out. It would be soo much fun! The title post will take you directly to the sign up with more information.

KC says:

"I am just soooo excited about the opportunity to teach in person. Never thought I would do that (and I can't promise I will do it forever) BUT for now I am super-jazzed about it. I want you to come hang with me in my new studio, have dinner with me in the evening and enjoy the unbelievably beautiful area that I call home. I have so much I want to share with you about art and living the artistic life and so much I can learn from you."

As Georgia O'Keeffe said "There is something unexplored about women...that only a woman can explore."

Well I must go I have a lot of orders to do, will post when I get more time.

The Never Ending Roofing!

Well Larry took two weeks off work to replace our roof. He worked on it by himself for 4 days and got all the shingles off and got the back side of the kitchen done before his brother Jon showed up. Well Jon has been here since Wednesday...it is now Tuesday and the roof is still not done! I was thinking once Jon got here it would be done in no time! Well I couldn't have been more wrong! Between the really hot weather and them coming in every two hours to eat and making me run to the building supply store everyday for something that they forgot! Our house is 160 years old, the roof boards are big planks that were in pretty rough shape so Larry had to covered them with ply wood first. Here is the progress so far!

$400 dollar Trampoline Ruined in less than 2 minutes!!!

I was in the house making lasagna for supper, Paige was outside bouncing on the trampoline with Caleb and Larry and his brother John were on the roof working (that is a whole other post for later) After getting after Kristen for 15 minutes to hang out the laundry on the line it started to cloud over and the wind picked up a bit...nothing big right....well Kristen looked out the window and said it is starting to rain...then all of a sudden out of nowhere the wind starting blowing HARD! Then there were screams outside so I ran outside...in the time it took me to get out there it was over! What it was I do not know but Paige told me that it started to sprinkle so her and Caleb got off the trampoline and sat underneith it, Jon and Larry scurried off the roof and ran for the barn well as Jon was running across the yard to the barn the trampoline went airborne and flew across the yard almosting hitting him!!! It bounced off the car and landed on the other side near the small barn upside down!!! The picture I took far away is where the trampoline use to be, held down with concrete blocks too! It hit the car hard and left a few good dings...we flipped it right side up to see how bad the damage was...it is toast! And the last picture is literally 10 minutes later...clear and sunny like nothing happened! I am so thankful that Paige had sense to get herself and Caleb off the trampoline!! It definately would have been a trip to the hospital for sure! It is a huge 14 ft trampoline and it was picked up tossed like it was nothing! Then after I took pictures I picked up all the laundry that was struin around the yard!
