How is the weather in your part of the world?  Well, here I suppose you might call it an Indian Summer..whatever it is..it's just been wonderful..warm sunny days...cool nights...leaves are changing but, falling a little too fast..for the lack of rain we have had.  We are suppose to have rain late tonight and into tomorrow..hopefully we will get some of it...we could use a nice slow rain...

I wish you could smell my house right now..I put one of those turkey breast with the bone in it in my small roaster...it smells soooo gooood....I can't wait to dig into it tonight...I also added some veggies in there too...so supper is all done!  I love that little roaster....

Squirrel Awareness week…

Earlier this month was Squirrel Awareness week…A few former co-workers and I have been celebrating this for a few years now..it actually started off as a joke for one of my friends /co-worker Rita…go here http://terryspaperpantry.blogspot.com/2008/10/im-baaack.html    to see a past celebration and learn more about the story behind why we celebrate… 

 

This year I was actually working with Rita when that time came around on a temporary basis..I was trying to come up with a lunch date with my other 2 cohorts to surprise Rita when she mentioned that she wanted to go to lunch with me before I left. So, she opened the door for me..so the date was set…So, Beth a former co-worker and great friend and Bill (Rita’s and my supervisor) along with his lovely wife Lorrie were already at the restaurant when we walked in…and Rita was totally surprised…Beth and I both had made cards for Rita along with gifts…I had bought mine on our trip to Colorado..it was just something I could not pass up!

I also had bought one for my neighbor who has Squirrels as pets…I will leave that for another story…Here is the card I made..I put my Cricut to good use with this one…I love how it came out too!

We have been doing this for about 4 yrs now and we always manage to surprise her..One of these years she will turn it around on us…
I also been doing some challenges over at http://simplyscrapping.ning.com/  and here is my latest..our challenge was to use black and white with only one other color..so I chose red to use as my other color..I had dreams about this card..and this really didn’t turn out the same as it did in my dream but I still like it…

It's hard to believe that it's the middle of October...We have had such beautiful weather lately..it's been a little up and down tempature wise ..but still so many days full of beautiful sunshine!  We could use some rain but are suppose to get that next week..so another perfect weekend is in store for us...I am not looking forward to winter and the cold temps so I am enjoying all of the warm days we are having now...

That's it for me today...

Thanks for visiting my blog!
