holiday cheer

So tonight was my first time ever making my fav holiday treat, Poppy cock. Its popcorn with nuts like almonds and what not over a caramel topping. So good, and it looks like it is going to true out very nice! Tomorrow we are off to the acreage to get some of the boyfriends family members to the airport and pick up the car we are bowering to go to our destination in. So on the 24th we will be leaving in the morning to drive the almost 2 hours to go to our destination and than having Christmas with the boyfriends family. It should be lots of fun, my family sent a package that I hope will arrive by the latest on sunday morning, because other wise we will not get it I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed.

My family got my package thankfully today! I hope they all like what they have gotten this year. I will be sending of a little something for my Aunt when I get her address, hey sis that means you need to email it to me!!!! However it will go out after the holiday has come. I feel like I have been baking all day, wait I have been. My cookies turned out pretty good, however I was making these Christmas Tarts that are totally great tasting and my mother did not write the receipt down right so they come out of the oven and I call my boyfriend to come and test them out (as he has never had them before) and he says they kind of seems like they need more sugar. To my response was there is not sugar in them... so I call my mom and I want to slap her at this point cause I told her how she wrote it down and she is in total denial. However proof of her hand writing is in the book that she made, moral of the story always check with someone who is sane in your family, sis get ready for more phone calls :P

Any who I'm going to head down stairs and finish up my treats, To all Have a Very Merry Christmas and don't forget in all the crazy times of the holiday season to stop and take in how wonderful it is to be around the ones you love the most. I will miss my family this year I love all you guys so much don't have to much fun with out me! xoxox

This is the Tea pot and the cut that we made. This is the Backs!

I thought I would share some shots, some are a little out of focus but thats because we had to use the night time capture to get the tree to show up right however I hope you all still enjoy the pictures.

The Moose I painted in the tree, I think this picture turned out nice the lest blurry of them all.

Teka looking a little pissed off, but she is still totally cute and in a Santa Hat witch is why I think she is Mad.

My snowman and a Moose that I painted, again Blurry but looks really nice in person.



Home made craft ornaments hand painted this one by Sean! Very nice blurry but nice

Fun, I hope others do this as well.

Again its been forever since I last up dated but I have been busy and not in the mood to write anything. Not much has happened I turned 25 the other day woot I feel old. I got to paint ceramincs, and than yesterday went to the tower in my city and got to have a bit of a anerisum as I am totally scard of high places. But it was cool and I think I might do it again.

Things at work are going well, I still love my job, however I feel over worked right now and a little pissed off about some of the office politics that have been going on. A year ago my cat had this horable rash type thing on her chin, well that is back and she is not happy with the teatree treatments that made it go away last time and am hoping it dose the same this time.

Christmas is coming up and I am not going to be going back to my home town this year, Sigh. oh well thats life and its alright by me but I kinda wish the reason I wasn't going back was a little better than the flight cost to much money. I wish it was I was going to Hawii for a week! Any way thats really all I have to write about at this point in time I will try and be better at writing more often, and I know I always say that.

Craft Project

I just thought I would share this with everyone, the crafts I have been working on. This is the lates weath that I have finished today. I kinda cut off the bottom of the picture but you get the idea. I think it turned out really nice, I just can't wait to hang it on my door.

Work has been going well, things have been a little crazy there but still things are all good, lots of work to do not enough time to do it in. I have so much stuff that I would like to do, and so many ideas there are just not enough hours in the day to do them all in.

Its really cold here today, -22 with a wind making it like -31 brrr.... So in other words its a few days inside! Monday and Tuesay look even worse not so much fun. Any way I just wanted to share my picture and now I'm off to craft more!

Its been a whlie

Well it has been a long time since I last wrote and a lot has happened. First My Grandma was very ill and in the hospital, and than on Nov 6, she passed away. It has been pretty hard copping with that. I was a bit of a wreck for a few days and had a hard time dealing with anger, guilt, and just sadness all the time. Her funeral was a bit of a joke in my books but it was what my family wanted I guess. I was a little upset by some of the things that where said and just the god stuff made it a little unbearable as we are not the religious bunch.

I was doing alright at the funeral until I looked at her picture and I kinda lost it, I felt all the hurt and pain again, the card that we all got has now had to be hidden on me because I can not look at it with out breaking into a crying mess. I still think of her a lot but have a better time dealing with that. But the photo hunts me and breaks my heart every time I see it or even think about the picture of the women who we all loved so much. I have been off work for 11 days now and tomorrow makes it 12, than I go back to work which I am more than ready for, as I love my job and it helps take my mind away from the thoughts of loss.

On the flight back my little cute nephew decided he wanted to look at my glasses and in that put all his little weight on them and snapped them in two! This made me cry but I think it was not the glasses breaking that up set me it was that I had to leave them all over again, and I don't like people seeing me cry that just made it easy on me. So a Blurry ride home on the plan, many bumps and feeling of puke and I was home like nothing even happened, which made me cry some more. Over all the sad feelings I was going through there was a silver lining, I got to see my two little nephews and my family, that was nice.

I stayed with my sister and her husband for my week long stay. It was so nice of them to take me in and let me be there with them for that. Thank you to them!!! As a child I never knew I would grow up to respect and be so greatful of someone as much as I am. I also got to do some crafts while I was there and I loved it, so today I went and spent way to much money on stuff for me to do at home.

I am going to post some pictures of what I have made, but I thought I would talk about it for a bit... I made a wonderful wreath, some tree ornaments, and I have more to do. The wreath is really nice it turned out so good! I am so proud of myself for that one. Even with custom bows!

Any way I think that is enough of an update for now, I will be more on top of writing now that things are clamming down again.

The weekend

This weekend was good, my boyfriends cousin moved into his new house and we went over to give a hand in unpacking and decor. There was a lot to be done as he was moving the stuff for a 2500 sqft house into a 1500 sqft! but it went rather well. I was supper sleepy and slept for about 12 hours last night. Oh well at lest it is all done now and looks like a home rather than simlpy a house with tones of crap everywhere! Tomorrow we are going over to carve pumpkins and than on the 31st we are going to go over to hand out candy and have dinner with him. fun fun.
I am in need of a new winter coat that will really keep me warm but I have to find some time to go looking, soon I hope because it is getting cold here and snowed last night, the coat I got last year is really nice but not as warm as I had hoped and now need a new one. Any way not much else to report however I will write again soon.

My funny boyfriend

So I had a blog on another site for a long time, it was one my boyfriend put together for me, and tonight he kinda made everything go byebye! So now I must start all over again and since my sister and my aunt both use this site I thought hey why not so this is the new blog. Whats been happening with me? I have been very sick for a bit coughing all over the place my whole face leeking and so many other wonderful things. Other than that not much really, I have been sick from work.
For those who did not get a chance to read the other blog before it was whipped out of ciber space, my boyfriend did his defence for his Masters the other day and that went very well, he passed with minor revisions which is really good! Any who I will try to write again soon just thought I would let all know that now I have a new site and the old one is no more. :( sad
