All "Crimped" out!

     Worked on our annual Christmas card again tonight... next year - I'm buying cards!  (wink!) These cards better turn out sensational... I've divided up the multi-tasks items for our homemade card and I'm on step #4 - there's 6 steps.  Tonight was tape, fold, punch, and crimp step for the holder of the slider card!  Here's my pile to prove it! hahaha! Gotta get this done and then get my "Make, Bake or Grow" projects finished by Monday... that will be another post!  
     Also tonight,  is a pic of a "cricket" cut/stamped 
Christmas card.  Talk about "tedious"  - my eyesight is already weak - putting small items in place is not easy as it use to be!  Just like threading a needle!  Hole?  There's a hole at the top of that needle? - where?!  I've got a LOT of practicing to do to master this cricket thing... guess I'll fit it in during my 11 PM - 2 AM shift!
     How are you handling this cold weather?  It was COLD today!  We went to work this morning and it was 24 degrees! ( I've got friends in Canada that this statement will be funny - hey! 24 degrees is a warm day - it's the 24 degrees BELOW thats cold, huh!)  Not for me... I love a little cold, a little snow and then back to 60-70 degrees for me! 
     This is "crock-pot" weather!  I soaked beans last night and cooked them in the 
crock-pot all day - makes for a very "aromatic" step inside the house - yum!  
Cooked cornbread too - but I used a mix and yuck-ola ):  I'm not sure what I did, but we all opted for NO CORNBREAD tonight!  It was terrible!  I'll make it from scratch next time - I can handle that!  The boys got their homework done and piano practice over with, shower and in bed by 9:15PM or Alex did... Aric dragged a little behind tonight... like a hour - he's my night owl - too much like his dad.  We read "Cat in the Hat" tonight - I would've like to meet Dr. Seuss... (yes! I would eat green eggs and ham, Sam I am! -- "random thought", sorry! ) TGIF tomorrow - I LOVE the weekends!  Hug your loved ones and have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by!
