Columbus Day Holiday!

It was nice having a day off. Dad went to work, and Alison went to a Bruins game for 1pm.
I ended up going out to AC Moore to get my googlie eyes. Then I went to BJ's and got a roast chicken for dinner and the halloween candy to jo in my jars.
While watching Ina on Food TV and getting things ready for dinner, I asked Alison to get the OLD pudding out and well...I'm not sure that's what she had in mind..
It went EVERYWHERE!! including the top of my head.. thank goodness a shower is on the agenda :)

Wow, what a week..I'm not sure where the time went. Guin dog has gone back to his own domicile and I don't have to worry about tripping on him for awhile.
I got some long needed time in my bsmt. to finish up putting together the Halloween jars for the few neighborhood kids. I'm sure a few added touches will go on them as well as filling them up with some goodies before they get delivered before my hand surgery on the 3oth :)
Thanks to the gals on the cricut board for the tip of using the modpodge for my adhesive! worked like a charm.












I uses the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge with my expression, chalks, Stickles
ModPodge and some confetti spiders and stars. The jars I got at The Christmas Tree Shop for $1.99. Ribbon from stash and misc. papers. I added some black tissue paper inside to put the goodies in :)
I'm pretty pleased with the outcome.

Not so long again

He came through the small doggie door and weighs probably 60+ lbs.. black lab.
He's scratching the heck out of my kitchen and living room floor because he can't get any footing and his hips don't work too well any longer,shaking like he has withdrawl symptoms.
He's eating my 2 dogs meals, day or night or anytime;even after eating his own.
He's been in my trash and had oil over the kitchen floor...
He HURTS and is too big for my house much as I do love animals, it's hard, been there done that with my own Dear Tim...
He actually started to behave like a young one at the end of his stay.He kept chasing(very slowly) after Bailey and she was having no part of that! lol
sorry Guin love you alot, but :( no more doggie sitting for that length of time ...

it's been awhile

I know it's been a bit since I last posted. I've been to Ct. cooking for a day and 1/2 and cleaning here at home, babysitting currently my SIL LAb, Guiness who is close to 15 yrs now and not in the best of shape.
I've been occupied with my new cricut machine and making Halloween jars for the fav neighborhood families because I will be having a re-surgery on my left hand thumb again to correct it's position.
Today I used up lots of our thursday takings from Allandale Farm and made a roasted veggie concoction. The left over Pot Roast was supposed to be for Alison's birthday on the 3rd, but she's been preoccupied with her Bruins !!! YUMMMMMMMMMM
The following are the different tries I've made today on a different special project :) and when I finally thought I had it, I FORGOT to FLIP the image to come out correctly when stamped!!!
:(
The left 2 are the original scan from a sheet then color removed and outlined.
the right side, the green is going to be the final stamp except flipped as it should have been :)
This little character,EEP, is on a set of sheets that my youngest daughter picked out when we got her and her sister new twin beds. The oldest picked dinosaurs. Yes, we still have both sets or atleast these. :)
