Thank You!

Thank you all for your kind words, messages, and emails, they were all greatly appreciated. I'm very happy to report that our electricity was restored in the middle of the night and our roads have been reopened. We have a lot of cleaning up to do... mostly branches that have fallen on our property, but also that pesky laundry that seems to build up twice as fast when the power is down!

There were trees over powerlines all through our neighbourhood.

This is at the top of our street and prevented us from leaving the area.

Looking toward the back of our property from our veranda.

(My poor swing chair was actually undamaged!)

From the side of our house looking into our neighbouring property.

All this water fell in about 20 minutes!

Day 14 - "CASE Yourself"

Choose a card you made previously and give it a make-over. You might like to change the colour, like I did, or perhaps add a different image or embellishments. Don't forget to add the original card to your post so we can see where you got your inspiration!

Day 13 - "L"

What flavour do you suppose my lilac candy canes are? I think the colour is a bit too light for grape, and too purple for candy floss. Perhaps something a little more sophisticated, like lavender and vanilla?

YOUR TURN: Create a project using the letter "L" as your prompt.

Apologies

About 24 hours ago, a supercell storm hit our neighbourhood taking down huge trees and knocking out many power lines. We’re okay, as are our family, friends and neighbours, but our power will be out for a least the next few days while repair work is done. We have no wi-fi, and cell service has been quite sporadic, so I haven’t been able to get on to look at cards and run any games. The good news is that I have all the daily posts uploaded and scheduled to post automatically, which means the challenge can continue. 

Even though I know you will all be understanding, I still want to extend my apologies for the interruption and assure you that I will catch up as soon as things get back to normal.

Cheers,

Beccy

Day 12 - "K"

I'm pretty sure this kitty isn't too pleased about his Christmas sweater!

YOUR TURN: Create a project using the letter "K" as your prompt.

We're going to call it healthy regardless. I have to have full on fat and load mine with marshmallows. So not good for the waist. But......oh so good tasting. Cute card.
