Back from Calgary!

Deb and I (and some other friends) headed down to Calgary this part weekend for a retailers event that we were invited to as being one of our wholesalers top vendors.

We had the most amazing time - we got to see yummy new products, take some classes from our favorite scrapbooking compaines and even got spoiled with some new goodies!!!

Made this is in our Making Memories class!

Good day!

I scrapped last night - found some old photos from 4 years ago and the layout came together rather nicely! I like when that happens - maybe my scrapping MOJO is back? We had parent-teacher this morning, so great! The teachers love the boys and everything I heard was praise, makes me wonder who raised these smart boys! After that we went and got the boys hair cut - finally!!! Nic was a little nervous because the man cutting his hair had tons of tattoos but he was very nice and did a great job. We met Dad for lunch - which was an added bonus! So all and all it has been a good day!!!

Altering photos!

I love to alter pictures - especially to turn a picture black & white and then bring out certain colors! This picture is my new favorite - can't wait to scrap it!!! And for once I can actually use some flowers on my layout!!! WOOHOO!!!!

So you had a bad day?

I had a bad day on Monday - you know one of those where everything seems to go wrong! Nothing tragic just annoying little things! But Tuesday was so much better - a friend came to town brought me flowers and coffee! The two best smells in the world! Then we just bummed around all day - it was great! I took some pictures of the flowers and of course Nic could not stand me taking pictures without him being included! We had swimming lessons too - Nic did great and had fun! What a little fish he is! So yes Tuesday more then made up for Monday! Here is hoping the rest of the week continues to be good!

I finally scrapped!!!!

It feels so good to actually scrapbook again - even if it is just one layout! Life has become so busy finding the time to actually sit down and work on my own stuff has just been so hard. So even though it is just one layout I am thrilled!!!! I need to make a commitment to take some time each week to scrapbook - even if it means the laundry gets put on hold or the dishes sit a little bit longer!

Great movie!

Aidan and I went to see Eight Below this afternoon and we both were very impressed! It was one of those movies that makes you smile and also was filled with lots of action, suspense and laughs. Aidan and Mom give it 4 thumbs up!!! Other then that it has been a busy weekend yet again. Mike is feeling better and I was busy this weekend teaching a group of ladies from Deloraine all that has changed and evolved with scrapbooking. Looking forward to a mildly calm week ahead.

Pajama Day!!!!

Pajama Day at school today! The boys had a great day wearing their PJ's to school - I was very impressed that the teachers particiapted in this too! Nicolas was back at school today and you would never know the boy was sick over the weekend! The sun is shinning today and much warmer.

Dad is home

Dad is home! We are glad that Dad is back home with us - even better he was home in time for all of us to watch Survivor together! Fun weekend planned - friends coming in from out of town and we have lots going on! It is freezing here!!! -38 this morning, YUCK!!!!! Way to cold! WE ARE DREAMING OF SUMMER!!!!

Valentine's Day!

The boys had a great Valentine's Day and a busy one too! For Aidan's class party they went skating and even though Aidan didn't have skates he has fun sliding on his boots and laying in the snow. He got a lot of Valentine's from his friends! For Nicolas' class party they class went to Mrs.McCurry's farm where they went for a sleigh ride. Nic's favorite party though was petting a chicken! He was so excited! He said, "Mom, I petted a real life chicken and he was alive!!!" After school Nic had swimming lessons, he did great! With Mike out of town we then went on to McDonald's for a romantic dinner! HA HA HA!!! The place was almost empty, the boys were thrilled because their friends were there and they played, screamed and had a blast!

After months of saying I would never blog here I am! This is a personal account of events for my scrapbooking mainly. It seems lately as my life has become so busy that the memory is fading some. So this personal log is to help fill the holes!
