Walnuts?? I think not!

Before I forget, on our way home from our Austin workshop, my colleague and I dropped off our manager at his home in La Grange, TX.  Low and behold, everywhere we stepped, we stepped on pecans!  So awesome.  Before I knew it, my colleague had a shopping bag in her hand (I got one too!) and we were collecting pecans that have dropped from the trees.  Like Ashley pointed out, it was like an easter egg hunt.  Our only distraction were the frequent clearing of the throat by my manager's horse.  We cleared that up with a couple of carrots and I was back to collecting pecans.

Now that I have the pecans, I need a pecan cracker!!  I need to find that this weekend....


Pecans!


More pecans!

Scrap Class

Back when Genny was visiting, we sought out Archiver's, Houston's (apparently) only official scrapbooking store.  Yes, there's multiple Joann's and Hobby Lobby, and Michaels, but a true scrapbooking store?  Calgary isn't the only place where scrapbook stores struggle...anyways...

I signed up for a Christmas Cards class, and to keep a long day short, I started at 11 am and left the store at 4:30 pm.  Yikes!!  The cards took til at least 2:30 (which was one hour longer than anticipated), and they were doing some make and takes.  And I was yapping with Jean, an young scrapbooker.  We are all of like minds, us scrapbookers.

It's hard to see his hat, but this snowman is a craft to hold treats!
