So I said to him, "Barak, I know Abe Lincoln, and you aint him." 
Halloween is quickly approaching and I am trying to get a jump on it. Although I am not very fast at anything. I just love this card. It totally creeps me out! I had so much fun making it. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I especially love roasting pumpkin seeds and seeing all the little goasts and goblins running around collecting candy.
I did some research on the 2 bird nests we found in our yard and found out they are chickadee's. We watched and watched for a couple weeks. We saw the cute little birds going in and out of the nests. Then nothing. It seems and though the cute little birds have abandoned the nests. According to what I read the eggs should have hatched in approximately 2 weeks. It is way past that. Now we just have nests with eggs. How sad no cute little birds will come. 
One thing about living in Montana is you have to collect wood all summer to keep warn all winter. It is a lot of hard work, but when you are sitting by the fire on a cold and snowy evening it is well worth all the hard work. Plus your heating bill isn't out the roof.
My husband and I hit all the Garage Sales in our town today as we do every Saturday. The deal of the day was a NEW in the box Cutter Bee Glass Mat for my Cutter Bee Curvy Cutter for a mere $2.00. Asking price was $3.00 but of course I asked for a discount. This item in the store costs $19.99. My Thinking of you card made it in this treasury. Please take a peek.
Finally a new card. I love this card. The trees appear to be at night with a beautiful metallic blue background.
Today I joined PaperBack Swap. I plan on trading My Mountain of Books that I have read for another Mountain of Books I want to read. It was so easy to join. I just went to http://www.paperbackswap.com/index.php signed up and listed 10 paperbacks I have already read. Instantly I received 2 credits. Which means I can order 2 books of my choosing. The sender pays the postage, so I get my two books for nothing. Now when someone orders one of my listed books I pay the postage to send the book to them and I receive a credit which means I can get another book. Easy as that. You get your books for the price of the postage. No hidden fees or gimmicks. This is great because I just started reading the Joanna Brady Mysteries by J.A. Jance and I can't seem to find them all at my library and I didn't really want to pay full retail for them.
My husband went to cover up the 4 wheeler with a tarp he left on the ground for a week and surprise underneath was this nest with an egg in it. We put the tarp back over the nest and wondered why the bird would build a nest on the ground where all kind of creatures could get to that precious egg. The next day we looked under the tarp and surprise another egg. Well now we need the tarp, so we took a bucket and cut a door in it so the mother bird can get into check on the eggs. This morning I saw her coming out of the bucket which is great. I was worried she might not go back to the nest since we disturbed the tarp. I hope nothing gets the eggs. Like a snake or a skunk. I will keep and eye on the nest and keep you all posted. Oh by the way the eggs are white with brown spots. Anybody have any idea what kind of chicks might hatch? 
Today is Saturday, so my husband and I get up early and go to all the garage sales in our area. If it is winter time we hit all the pawn shops and antique stores. We call it junkin and we love it. Today we didn't find much. I bought some cork tiles for my studio wall and a book. I love to get all the books on my reading list at yard sales for a quarter or fifty cents. Much cheaper than buying them at the book store. In the winter I use our local library. We have a saying though......"If we can't us it or we don't need it we don't buy it". No since in recycling junk. Some Saturdays we fill my little truck up and some Saturdays we come home empty. Either way it is fun and something we enjoy doing together. What do you do on Saturday morning?
