I decided to get some of the ornaments done today that I got over the wk end. I tried using the alcohol inks and a couple came out very nicely.I think they need a few more coats of ink. I then tried the ones using a bit of floor wax swished around inside the bulb, then add fine glitter to coat :) Those are super!! I like them a lot,except when I drop 'em :(
All the time doing this, I was simmering the turkey carcass and veggies to make a stock. It's just about ready to be strained off and put in the freezer now.

1 card done today


I started this little card before Thanksgiving and finished him up today. thanks for looking :)

Terrific Thanksgiving



Ashton did a beautiful job decorating for her very 1st Thanksgiving Dinner in her apt.She made a very lovely centerpiece and had little frame name tags for each place setting. We brought the "meal on wheels" and preped it along with a few pies on Wednesday evening. Susan and Paul really enjoyed their time. Dad had a nice time,although the TV stations stink..lol Alison,Ashton and I left him in piece for a bit and went Michaels for the 5pm -9pm super specials on Cricut stuff after dinner was over. :) !!!
She has lots of leftovers even though we spread them out between herself and Susan and then left our portion at Gram & Gramps in Ct. on on way home Friday.We actually did not have any traffic backups (5 hrs down)at all other then the miserable drizzle rain.
Big kudos to DD#2 :) hugs
