Grey Cloud Island

Earlier today Matt and I drove up to Grey Cloud Island.  Matt remembers being a large Eagle's nest in a tree by the Mississippi backwaters, so we went to see if the eagles were hanging out. We lucked out!

The winds were calm, and there was hoar frost on the shoreline.

Hoar frost on the seed heads of some weeds.

The fresh snow that we received the day before blanketed these rocks nicely.

 

Throwback

The holiday theme week continues this week at work... today is Throwback Era Day! Only a few of us participated in this one today.

The inventory office gals...we all represent a different era!

Last Friday was Plaid Day.  A lot of people at work seem to like this one.  :)

DIY for Christmas

I made this DIY dog treat jar for a friend of mine this year for Christmas.  It was a fun and easy project to do!

Beginning with a plain glass jar, I applied Etch Glass cream to add the word "treat" and bone décor.  Once the etching was done, I applied a simple red ribbon to the top.  I also found a couple of homemade dog treat recipes on Pintrest to fill it up!

Sure to make my friend's furry companions happy!

Ugly Sweater Day!

This year is our 2nd annual Sprit Week at work.  We do a special theme each day up until our Christmas "break".  Today we started off the festivities with Ugly Sweater Day.  As you can see, the handful of us that participated really brought out the "gaud" with our ugly threads! On deck for tomorrow; Christmas colors day!
