T stands for Veteran's Day

Happy T-day to all of the Tea Gang, and Happy Veteran's Day, and THANK YOU to all that have served our country.

 

A page from my Today Journal, I think it is page 8, may have went a little overboard with the doodling......grin.

So what have you been up to since last we met for tea? I had G-ma duty Thursday and Friday with a little 4 year old with a tummy bug.  By Friday she was back to happy little self.  Other than that I kept plugging away at getting all the "Frozen" decorations done for the GD that will turn four at the end of this month.

 

Sorry about the flash is these photos.  Our bedroom wall is the only one big enough, and empty enough to put up 3 rows of banners. Plus I was standing on the bed.  I left long ties so my DIL can put them where she wants them, she can always cut off the extras.

 

 The top banner was printed off of a web site I found on Pinterest.

Three Olafs to put on the their patio wall.  I just loved this little guy in the movie.  No my kitchen wall isn't dirty, I painted it like this on purpose!

 A couple of 8" snowflakes with pictures of Elsa and Anna in the middle, forgot to rotate this one.

Also made three center pieces.  I found all the plastic snowflakes at the Dollar store, they were a life saver, but I still ended up cutting A LOT of snowflakes with the CriCut.

 

It was all packaged up and sent by UPS this morning, since I am not sure what time we will arrive in San Diego for the party.  I wanted to make sure they were there before the party and so my DIL can figure out where she is going to put all this stuff, cause it is larger than it looks in the photos......LOL

 

Here is a picture of my way-out-of-control pile scrap papers that I decided to tackle Sunday morning.  Such an easy task .....I told myself.......It took me ALL day.  Well, now that did including cutting about half of it into  mat sizes and sorting them by size, color groups and the solid from the prints.  Then there was the 12" long scraps that had to be dealt with, lucky was I that there were near as many of those to deal with......grin! What was too small to become a mat I sorted into a much smaller box.  If time permits, this week, I'll show the results on WOYWW, 'cause this also caused a major clean up and a little more rearranging of Betsy.....:O

 

What's on the menu for this week?  Well I have 2 GDs tomorrow, no school because it is Veterans Day, so it will be crafting and playing with them.  Wednesday I am going to have all the color stripped out of my hair and just let the gray grow out,  I am so tired of having to keep color on my hair.......we'll see how that works......there is a bottle of brown color waiting in the wings if it turns out to be a disaster........:O  Thursday I will have at least the 4 year old again.  Her other Grandma, and an old friend of mine, is having a lump economy.  They just found out she has stage 2 breast cancer....so that will be a somber day for me, but will have to keep a smile on for Megan's sake.

 

So that about wraps it  up form here, it's late Monday night and my eyes keep wanting to give up and close so I better get linked up with Elizabeth and Bluebeard. for the weekly tea gathering.

 

I'll try to get around to as many as possible this week.  I know I missed a few last week, and I do apologize.  I try get back to everybody who stops by, all your visits and comments mean a great deal to me.

 

Inky Hugs
