Christmas Countdown - 2012

[xmas365]

OMG!!! I haven't even caught up but I had to tell you all what happened last night... Hubby & I flipping channels waiting for the Yankee / Tiger game (that was ultimately canceled) but anyway at 8:00 PM my door bell rings, I live in a condo that is gated so we figured it was just one of our neighbors, I go to the door and nobody is there!!! BUT!!!! Wait for it........ A plastic bowl filled with candy and little nicknacks with a note stating You've Been Booed!!!! The note reads....

You've Been Boo-ed!

The phantom ghost has come to town
To leave some goodies... I see you've found.
If you wish to make this a happier fall...
Continue this greeting, this phantom call.

First, post this Phantom where it can be seen,
And leave it there until Halloween.
This will scare other Phantoms who may visit.
Be sure to participate, you don't want to miss it!

Second, make two treats & two copies from
(this is were the website link is)
Deliver them to two neighbors, try to stay calm.
Don't let them see you, be sneaky, no doubt
And make sure they put their Phantom Ghost out!

Next, you have only one day to act, so be quick!
Leave it at doors where the Phantom hasn't hit.
Deliver at dark when there isn't much light...
Ring the doorbell and run, and stay out of sight!!

And last, but not least, come join in the season.
Don't worry, be happy, you need no good reason.
This is all in good fun and we are just trying to say...
Happy Halloween & Have a Great Day!

They have a website and everything, I wasn't sure if I could post the link if it wasn't allowed or anything so if I can let me know and I will in the Halloween section, if not maybe we can do it via an email or something... This has to be the cutest thing ever!!!

LET THE HOLIDAYS BEGIN I'VE BEEN BOOED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is so cool!

Now Valerie is on and the item doesn't have glitter on it. I don't know if I can take this.

Sounds like you've entered Bizzaro world.

 

[xmas365]

LOL!!!! Now Dan is doing his impressions of all of the characters from Rudolph.

I use to work with a guy who sounded just like Hermey, of course I was the only one who picked out whose voice his sounded like. cheesy

Good morning MMC! I am trying to read through the posts from yesterday but I keep getting interupted! Lol! I wanted to say good morning before it's afternoon! Ha ha!

Here are some pics of the afghan I made for my SIL! I hope she likes it! I named it the "In Memory of Mike Afghan" It ended up being 50" x 75"

The blue is for September, my brothers birthstone
The green is for August, my SIL's birthstone
The rust & gold are for November - their Anniversary &
The red is for love:

Beautiful, Holiday!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

I went up to my brother's shop yesterday afternoon. He's working on a 1903 (?) pickup truck that someone found in an old barn recently. It's pretty cool! The doors and the running boards are wood-framed, then wrapped with thin metal. Even the steering wheel was wood back then. Part of it was unattached, but could be re-attached easily. Jim actually got it running! I swear, if he can't fix it, that means it ain't broke.

We're going out to Mom's for taco soup tonight. While we're out there, Jacob and I can check the trail camera.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

That is awesome! Can you please post a picture of the truck, I would love to see an old car especially that is over 100 years old!

 

[xmas365]

Here's a quick picture of that truck.

Okay, so I didn't go down the page far enough. cheesy Thank you. Looks great!

I am just glad they beat the Yankees.

As always, Made to the rescue. Many thanks!

If you save your photo's to photobucket, you just copy and paste the IMG code into your post and it won't matter how big the picture is. It also lets you adjust the size of the picture if you want to make it smaller.

 

[Seawaters]

Just a quick pop-in before I watch some TV. We will be gon this weekend, spending it in Redding. So after radiation tomorrow, we will check into the hotel. We have several Elks events there. TTYL

Here's a quick picture of that truck.

For over a 100 years old its in fair state and for him to get it started woo
Is he gonna try and fully restore it ?

hey y'all! how's everyone this evening?...

i am furious!!!!! why is it when you try to do something for someone they look to far into it & think you have other motives or are trying to point out their flaws????? do what?!! this happens w/ boss alot. on the phone trying to help her w/ something she forgot & she thinks i'm trying to point out her screw up! no, i'm not the 1 that does this....she is! she can because she's boss. do i look stupid??? don't answer that! i, in no way, shape, or form was trying to be ugly about it, i just wanted to make sure it was done. anyhoo....
let me tell y'all this, do y'all remember me telling ya' boss had bought BLACK, red, & white for our BIG tree this year? well we put it up today & OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! let's just say it's bad. i would have given anything (almost) to take a pic & be able to show y'all. she said it was all over the place @ the shows & markets this year. i don't care, it's horrible. maybe that's why it was all over the place...NOBODY wanted it!!! we always have really nice trees & decor in the shop. some of the other ladies even said they think it's the ugliest thing we've ever had. i'm not saying this cause i'm upset w/ her. we decided this before i ever spoke to her on the phone.

i'm gonna go cook some supper now. i just had to vent, sorry!

Sorry to hear that, sometimes ppl take things the wrong way and maybe what your saying she alreadys knows is true
Maybe it just me ! but is the tree black,red and white as in the tree or in the decor and tree . if you know what mean

The Detroit Tigers are going to the World Series!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm happy for you meceka!

Good evening, Christmas family!!

How are you all?!
I'm thinking: Thank God it's almost Friday! :treeguy:

It's been a trying day w/ my studies, to be frank, I'm lost

But, I will find a way to figure it out =]

I think I'm going to take Harlowe for a walk to clear my head, and then make some supper. It's too nice to stay cooped up!

Hope you guys have a lovely night!!

you are right to walk away, like meceka said too. some of the lingo & phrasing can be confusing. i will be praying for you. you'll get it snowflake!

Good evening, everyone! Hope you're day was well! Mine was great - I love days off. DH and I are soon going to go wrap some gifts and then watch the Grey's episode from tonight I am currently DVRing. We are making a pizza right now - we ate a late lunch/early dinner and we're hungry again.

We went to Hallmark tonight and I bought ornaments for the kids, plus got the family ornament and I also got the one for our exchange. I got the perfect one for my partner. I know she will love it! I also got the 2nd book in the series, Jingle Pup, that was featured last year on Hallmark, for the kids. I loved that special.

Tomorrow, we're taking the kids to the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium. DH parents are going too. EA is so excited. We've never had the kids there, so I am very excited for them as well.

Well, I am off to get caught up on some of the posts and do some other things. Talk to you all tomorrow. God Bless and keep smiling! :-D

sugar your day sounds wonderful. the kids will love the zoo heck, i bet mom & dad will too!

I use to work with a guy who sounded just like Hermey, of course I was the only one who picked out whose voice his sounded like.

wow, i would never want to hurt someones feelings but i would probably bust out in laughter thinking of Hermey!

I am just glad they beat the Yankees.

oh c'mon xmas...don't be hat'in!!

cm3 i hope you & your hubby have a nice day together. you deserve a day off w/ what you've been dealing w/! God bless you!

Just a quick pop-in before I watch some TV. We will be gon this weekend, spending it in Redding. So after radiation tomorrow, we will check into the hotel. We have several Elks events there. TTYL

i hope you feel good for all the events & have a wonderful weekend!!!!

Maybe it just me ! but is the tree black,red and white as in the tree or in the decor and tree . if you know what mean

sorry, i should've explained better. the tree is a large natural looking green tree w/ cones on it. all the ornaments are black, red, & white. some of the black is large snowman top hats about 1ft. tall. i am used to working w/ large ornaments that we nestle into the tree but all that black appears as a dark hole in the tree. then we have some black traditional ornaments & red & black stripe ornaments. i guess another thing is the tree is so natural looking & all that black just does not go together @ all. you should have seen us hunting throughout the shop for some bits of white to brighten it up. white twigs, feathers, snow flocked greens, just anything. we ended up stripping it back down & 1 of the girls streamed white mesh all around it & then we are gonna add all the other back into it. call me old fashioned but i do not like it. i'll move on to another 1 & let them do this 1. lol

 

[merrymistletoe]
