ONE MORE WEEK!!!

Okay besides looking tired in this picture (LOL)...I crocheted this cowl last night....I think I am enjoying doing some crocheting for a bit as the projects finish up a lot quicker than knitting. Although don't get me wrong...I still have many unfinished knitting projects on the go as well. I finished this just in time because it is sooooooooooooo cold outside....I hate the cold and I hate it even more year after year. I do believe I will be one of the snow birds that head down south every winter! hmmmm let's see only 15 or so more years to wait!!! hehehehe

Okay one week today and it's Christmas. I went out this morning and got some more gifts. I am heading out tomorrow to finish up...regardless I am finishing tomorrow...omg note to self, do not plan an anniversary party for 150 people a couple of weeks before Christmas???

Until next time.... xxooDebbie

Popcorn!!

How cute is this....I was bored last night and decided to crochet this popcorn bucket. Good thing for you tube....I had no idea how to do a "popcorn stitch" and ta da....there it is....so now I have to buy some felt and put a little label on it that says "POP" and make a bunch, sew them together and it is a popcorn scarf!!!

The countdown is on....15 more days until 2010...now are we saying 20-10 or two thousand and ten??? hmmmm don't know? But for some reason I feel this is the beginning of a fresh new start...I am making my list of 10 things to accomplish in 2010! I hope you follow along with me in my journey to accomplish them?

Until next time xxooDebbie

I have been corrected....LOL!

My son informed me yesterday after reading my blog that stuff does happen in our little town. We have had the set of "Happy Town" filming in our little town all summer! It is to be released in March....it is from the producers of Twin Peaks...it is going to be a series I believe. It is kind of funny to look at the trailer and see our town done up like a small town in the States....with American Flags all downtown etc.

One of the drug stores downtown had a fire a couple of years ago and it has sat empty. I remember driving by and saying oh look they are turning it into a "pizza barn" well that's stupid as there is a pizza joint across the street, ..turns out it was just a prop for the movie!!! LOL...

The scenes from the carnival were set up down a little side street where our library is...it was so funny to see all the carnival booths set up in the parking spots along the street.

If you watch the trailer and see the main street, that is where I live in our own little "Happy Town"...

Until next time .....xxooDebbie

Olympic Torch!!

Wow...the Olympic torch will be passing through our little town at 5:23 tonight! How exciting...nothing exciting ever happens in our little town. I will try and make my way downtown tonight to see if I can get a glimpse and takes some pics?? Wish me luck on that one!

Well 10 more days til Christmas....I have most of my shopping done, gonna finish up this Saturday. Mallory is coming Monday to make cookies and then I just have to finish up buying some food and I will be done! Well have a good one....

Until next time ....xxooDebbie

My Christmas Wish List!

Here are a few things on my Christmas list this year! I am determined to try and get healthy and in shape for 2010! I am too much of a wimp to go out in the cold to walk, hate the treadmill, so I am hoping if I get the Wii I can get my butt off this computer chair and do a workout everyday! Wish me luck!!!

What is on everyone elses Christmas list this year??

Until next timexxooDebbie

25th ANNIVERSARY!

The happy Couple! Happy 25th!

This is one of two cakes we had for the party!

Finally after 25 years they finally get a really wedding cake to smuck in each others faces! LOL

My sister and me!

Phew, well I am glad the anniversary party is over...Everything went off without a hitch and it was a great success! My mom and her husband had a great time and so did everyone else! I am so glad I was able to do this for them. It was a lot of work but well worth it! Now on to thinking about Christmas!!!! I will be glad when January 1 comes so I have some time to relax....ya right! LOL....

until next time xxooDebbie

It's official....Christmas countdown!!

When I look at this picture, I think of the movie Christmas Vacation and the cat eating the lights...LOL....I took a quick picture and then took the lights away from him before he ended up like the cat in that movie!!!

We normall don't go cut down our tree until the first weekend in December, but with the Anniversary Party this weekend and every weekend booked until Christmas, we went out and got our tree on Sunday. It was very different this year, no girls with us and my youngest stayed home as he did not want to come? I think this is the first time in a long time that we cut down our tree without any snow or without it freezing!!

Ta Da....only Dillon and I decorated the tree this year...I think we did an amazing job!I just can't believe it is the Christmas season again...it seems like only a couple of months ago I took down all the Christmas decorations...this year has flown by way too quick! I am working on an art journal of the 10 things I want to accomplish in the year 2010....anybody have any "resolutions" they are contemplating for the New Year? I would love to know what everyone's goals are for next year!

Until next time...xxooDebbie

Granny Squares and Coffee Cozies!

Well Granny Squares seem to be making a comeback, so now that the craft sale is over (which I really didn't do that great at), I am going to use up some of my odd ball wool and make a granny square blanket. I wonder if I can finish before Christmas and give it to my daughter for her new house? hmmmm...I love working under pressure....

I had donated a couple of coffee cozies to etsy to raise money for a little girl. Both of these have sold!!! whoot whoot! I am donating another two cozies.

Craft Sale

Okay so I have been working on a bunch of stuff for the craft sale at my sons' High School. It is this Saturday. I have a few things done but only had a couple of weeks notice to get this stuff done. I would prefer to have more done but hey, there is always next year I guess? I have the coffee cozies and I tried to improve my cupcake scarf, I think I am loving this one much better. The other one was too small and after a couple of times playing around with the pattern, I have come up with the perfect size!! I also made a few coasters with a stamped image on them. I drew the picture of my potluck designs, scanned it and I am using these as price tags. Well wish me luck at the sale because I want to make enough money to go see New Moon on Saturday!!! I am so excited!
Until next time xxooDebbie
