WOYWW #182

Good Day to All of YOU,

It's here quickly again, the day to visit Julia at the STAMPING GROUND  if your new to find out what's going on with WOYWW  and the rest of us peep about people know the purpose, but have to visit to post our name and address.

I tried to load a photo of a few items left to pack up for our Craft Show Friday, set up is THURS
and I get this message  "" Whoops! You're out of space. You are currently using 100% of your 1 GB quota for photos. Upgrade storage""    SO how long will it take for me to figure out this message.

I cannot find my camera, I think it's packed, but I can tell you there's hardly a path to reach my creative desk.  I've moved furniture from upstairs, downstairs, I've Christmas messes everywhere and I took today and just left.. Visited my parents, did some last minute shopping, packed up some of my things into my car. I've played games on Facebook. went out for supper and now I'm here... AND so it the mess.
I'm tired, wore out and frazzled. I stand and look at the array of things that to be put in place and things that need to be hauled upstairs to be donated and I take a deep breathe and walk away.

SO VERY SORRY for NO PICTURE...will try to have things in better order next week and  will find out what I have to do to share a picture once again.  Overload.  My computer, My Life.

Have a great WOYWW, thanks for stopping by

IT"S #181 WOYWW

Oh here it is Wednesday, just before the celebration of USA's THANKSGIVING DAY on Thursday.

But I am taking time to participate in Julia's WOYWW  over at the STAMPING GROUND. This is #181 and so many more people join in each week. Click the link and she has ALL the details.

Have a desk full of antique wallpaper cones. Hoping to be created into all varieties of Tussie Mussie's for the Crafty Affair. Finding out my arrangement of the storage drawers is not very handy with my new set up. But I suppose it is good exercise!!  Have to assemble all the frilly embellishments and make some creative fun.

The other table has some surprise ATC's for a swap for "O Holy Night"  Hope to have them in the mail yet today.
  I have a small turkey cooking as Thursday my sister is having our family for the traditional holiday meal. I can hardly wait..it's ALL my favorite.  Turkey, stuffing, mashed potaoes, sweet potatoes, big relish tray, cranberries, scalloped corn or green beans and usually Pumpkin pie, but I think she said she has Key Lime.  WE go EARLY for a few Bloody Mary's.
All of our kids are at a distance and not making the Thursday visit.  No doubt they are doing the Black Friday shopping event. Not me..no crowds or power shopping. When you retire you can shop during the week and enjoy the surroundings and have a nice lunch and some quality quiet times. Life is precious.

Enjoy WOYWW, thanks for stopping by. In case I don't make a special Thanksgiving post. For those of you who Celebrate ,  here's wishing you and yours a HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY. We truly do have a LOT to be VERY THANKFUL for.

TGIF A CRAFTY BREAK

Woke up energized!!! Sun shining bright and MoJo is here:

Have a few little items for the Crafty Affair to share with you today:

                  A little bottle brush tree on top of a salt dish, 2 little teddies in snowflake shakers

                        Bottle brush trees with beads, tinsel , in a tart tin and on top of an antique jar lid

                                           
     A little angel from an old bottle, a tiny pincushion, a bottle brush tree in a antique heart shaped tart tin

Have a table full of Antique Wallpaper, with a project pending all cut to shape and waiting for glue
Was time for a break, a "little" lunch (DH is gone today), then maybe some pricing on finished items.

Hoping for a fun evening with sisters later. And a phone call from my sons would top off the day.
Thinking of the holidays and a little sad....Military duty takes a lot from a family but I guess we all have to be tough to get thru.

Have a great weekend, I am hoping you have the sunshine and warmth we are experincing for this time of year. Thanks so much for stopping by and I really appreciate all your comments.

WEDNESDAY'S #180 WOYWW

Julia over at the STAMPING GROUND  has created a monster. Over a hundred creative people love posting there workareas and peeping about the others creative spaces. Stop over and get the details.

My desk today is a mess. Time flies by and our Christmas Classic Craftshow will be here and I won't have 1/2 of my ideas done. And what bothers me is it is MY own fault.  No MOJO, no Christmas Spirit.

I found the reflectors at a resale shop and can't wait to do something with them. Most of the items here will be made into ornaments. Angels, some religious pictures and Santa's. Lots of tinsel, glue, beads, lace and metal.

Last week I spoke of my Ribbon Angels you can go HERE to see my post on them. I'm off to meet some visitors from Wisconsin and check the heat at my folks' home. Temps here took a dive...20's and 30's and we don't need broken water pipes.

Thanks for stopping by, will make my rounds later this evening to see what you all have been up to.
Maybe it will give me some Christmas motovation.

THANKS to the VETERANS

Today is VETERANS DAY in these United States of America.

I want to say THANK YOU to my Son for the sacrifices he has made all these years, while serving in the United States Army.  I love you and all that you stand for. A wonderful son, husband and father.  

. 

HAPPY VETERANS DAY TO EVERYONE WHO HAS GIVEN THEIR TIME and SACRIFICE SERVING OUR GREAT COUNTRY    THANK YOU SO MUCH    

GOD BLESS YOU

A Relaxing Sunday and the Ribbon Angels

A  mid-day HELLO!!

Our church circle hosted a Pancake Breakfast this morning after mass. So that got us up and at this cold, windy, rainy dreary day, we were on the early shift to work. So it is a great day to just be at home.

Once home I made some Potato Soup, which is simmering and no doubt be our Monday evening meal. Always tastes better the day after.  I also put together some Hobo Dinners or so called a

Boy Scout Dinner.
Place your individual piece of  foil on the counter:    add one hamburger patty, one sliced potato, a slice of onion, a sliced carrot, a small wedge of cabbage, 2 pats of butter, ground pepper/salt and fold up like an envelope. Place on a cookie sheet, at 350 degrees for 45 min. or til veggies are tender.  You can add anything you want or lots more carrots etc.  Make as many as you need to serve and each person has their own little Dinner in the Foil.  Always a good oven meal or in the nice weather can be done on your grill.

I wanted to share my Ribbon Angels today also:

 Two smaller ones, kinda my fav

 A little Elegance

One big, One small...they come in all sizes you know
And I truly hope they are saying some heavy duty prayers, as a close friend will be having a bone marrow transplant this week in Rochester.

My DH and I stopped at our local 2nd Hand shop after visiting my Mother and Dad and I just happened to spot these adorable little shoes

No doubt a Pincushion in their future.  Also the little white vintage gloves. Still in their packaging.  A few more shakers to add to the collection.

Thanks for stopping by. I love your comments and appreciate the time you spend leaving them.
May you and yours have a wonderful Sunday evening, snuggle up and enjoy your home. We sometimes take too much for granted. Prayers still for the East Coast.


Somehow my little signature disappeared it seems....a little day off perhaps.

God Bless    SYLVIA

It's #179 for WOYWW

It's a GOOD MORNING here in the USA:

My excitement for our re-elected President Obama has me off to a fun morning even though it was 2AM when I finally shut off the TV. I wish him and his lovely family the very best.

Then Julia at the STAMPING GROUND has What's On Your Workspace Wednesday to offer up to all of the world's most loved past time..peeping about others' workspaces. Stop over she has all the details.

The energy I've had this week has given me a busy creative space.

Getting ready for our craft fair I am working on some ribbon angels, in many colors. So there are beads, Christmas balls, glue and more glue, and a variety of wide to narrow ribbon. My little jello molds have proven to be the best sorters.  This project is helping me use up "STASH"...once I located it all  and had some fun time during our 2 dark, gloomy, rainy days I was able to accomplish quite a bit.
Will share them next week as they are not  being disturbed at the moment..It's drying time.

Have a wonderful week, thanks so much for stopping by, enjoy your WOYWW visits.
