Got Milk?

I was transferring flour from my 25 pound flour container to my canister and spilled some on the floor. Before I could sweep it up, Tilly tried eating it. The first thing that popped into my mind was "Got Milk?" She looked so funny!  Now that Christmas is over, I can post the journal cover and monthly covers I made for my grand daughter. Not that she reads my blog!

 This is the main cover. Some of the die cuts I made, some others came from SVG.cuts.com and some came from various others.
 This was for January. The background is blue glitter cardstock. I hadn't put the month stickers on the tabs yet.
 The cascading hearts was made by my friend Todd. He posted it to a forum we both belonged to.
 I thought this was too pretty to add anything else to. Just some fancy cardstock.
 Can you guess what month this is? Where's your umbrella?
 She loves to text and would rather text than talk on the phone. Why not send email or get on an online chat? The younger generation!
 I think I got this file from Scrapping Table and the words from some other site.
 Same for July. I love glitter paper but it sure does ruin your cutting blade.
 My grand daughter wants to be a writer so this fits the bill
 another one too pretty to add to
 I love this one. It's from SVG.cuts also. They have great files to cut.
 The turkey has a googly eye!
Cute snowman is from SVG.cuts also.
 Other than an elf sticking out of a chimney, these were our only Christmas decorations. I got Pa a couple of tools for presents and he gave me a promissory note to get me something after Christmas.
On New Year's Eve, Pa went to Lil Abner's to help him put a transmission in Lil Abner's big honkin truck. They ran into all sorts of trouble so it took most of the day. Pa came home exhausted and went to be way before midnight so Tilly and I stayed up and saw the New Year in. Living out here, there wasn't much excitement! I gave Till a kiss and we went to bed at 12:05 am.

Our weather has been so beautiful. Freezing at night and in the high 50's during the day. This morning in the house it was 64 degrees and freezing outside. How's that for insulation? I didn't need a morning fire but made one anyway just for that cozy feeling.

Pa left for Vegas this morning. He has two doctor appointments in Vegas tomorrow. Just his twice a year check ups. It about bankrupts us  buying gas with these trips so he is considering finding some doctors closer. He can go to the VA in Show Low for his general health. He needs to find a good ophthalmologist and if he can't find one in Show Low, Flagstaff would be lots closer than Vegas. I know he enjoys going to see everyone but ya'll will just have to come here!!!!  I don't mind being out here alone except for watching all those shows yesterday on Finding Bigfoot. They did find prints in White River which is 50 miles from here. Anyway I have a BIG gun so I'm not afraid. I love the peace and quiet. We upgraded with Dish net work and got a DVR and I can hear the thing humming even when it is off. Being used to the quiet, everything sounds loud.
I cooked a couple of those bunnies the other night. Fried their little butts in the frying pan in olive oil. They were pretty tasty but tough so next time I will pressure cook them first and then fry them. Come to think of it, it's about time for them to start their evening foraging so I think I will get the pellet gun and go hunting. Until next time!!!!
