Another day, another 10 cards.

I've been nose to the grindstone getting more cards ready for the Craft Fair.
Mary (my girlfriend of 36 years) and I went to the Craft Fair site today to scope out the size of the tables. They're huge! But we'll have lots to cover the table with. It's getting closer and it's making me realize how close Christmas is coming...yet again! I swear it comes faster and faster each year!
Can't wait until the Craft Fair. Mary has the most stunning purses made up. I know she'll do well with them. I have my eye on a pink one since pink is my favourite colour!
Until next time...

My oldest granddaughter and my youngest grandson!

Time Flies

So here it is October 28th and not long to go before the flakes start to fall.  If the Farmer's Almanac is right, this year will be a coooold winter with lots of precipitation - in other words SNOW!  Now I like snow for the most part but on the mountains, where it belongs!  Driving in it, especially in this town, is tough!  People just don't know how to drive in snow.  They get all panicky and slam on brakes and run red lights and just plain don't think ahead!  Nobody buys snow tires until the first snow and then the tire shops are busy 24 hours a day!!  But with luck, it won't be so bad! 

I've been able to get my cards sorted and set up to see if I need more, which I do, which means I'm still no further ahead than I was the last time I posted!  But I have a good routine now.  My hours at work are pretty much "set in stone" so I can plan my days.  The Craft Fair is a week this Saturday so I really need to work at getting more of a selection.  So far I have loads of Christmas cards but not many other occasion cards!  So will need to get an assembly line going.  I don't like doing the assembly line thing because it takes away from putting special touches on individual cards.  But it's my own fault for having left it all to the last minute.  And here I thought I could work under pressure! 

So that's it for now.  My baby grandson is growing in leaps and bounds and is almost 2 months old!!  As I said...time flies!

Until next time...

Christmas is Coming

I've been busy creating Christmas cards like crazy and am building up quite a good supply.  In amongst all of this card creating stuff, my baby grandson was born.  September 5th weighing in at 8lbs 8 oz. and 21 inches long.  He's absolutely perfect and such a very good baby.  The grandgirls are happy with their little brother and I can just see them in a year or so painting his toenails and putting beaded necklaces on his neck.  What fun!!  My daughter-in-law was very brave and had him absolutely with no drugs.  Pretty amazing! 

So now it's time to put my nose to the grindstone and get making more cards.  November is fast approaching and so is the Craft Fair.  We've decided to add a few things to our stock and it's very exciting.  Will be posting a few of my cards, etc. that I'm going to be selling at the Fair as well pictures of my baby grandson.  So I'll leave this now and get back to work.  Hope all is well with everyone.

Until next time...
