Bits n Pieces

Random stuff:



























This?

I know this because it's an app on my phone.
My favorite app at the moment.

This is the Christmas card I sent out a couple years ago.




























This is the Christmas card my mom gave out this year:








This is the Christmas card that Danica gave out this year:






Haha.
Love how we all have the same taste in Christmas cards.

I finally spent an evening cleaning up the pile of paper on, in, and under my desk and haha. Not surprisingly, I discovered a (nother) batch of signed, sealed, not-addressed, unsent greeting cards.
I'm not sure if they're birthday cards, Christmas cards, or thinking-of-you cards. 





Also in that pile of mail was a cheque.
I guess a mistake had been made on my insurance fees back in '08? 
And so they were paying me back.
With interest. 







Yes. 
This is unopened mail from November.
I suck at mail-opening.

Isn't this awesome?
Twas a Christmas gift from Danica's mom and dad. 
(Her dad made it.)
I know!
Another "Bups" in the family. 
:)

I love it.

I used to have a Doodle Art poster on the table at the lake. 
Anyone that wanted to doodle was free to do so.


All the posters got finished, so now my colouring book is there.

And someone other than me, but someone I gave birth to, has been colouring. 
When I got to the lake and saw this, I just smiled.
