Lazy Sunday

Hello! I have realized that I am never going to be a "regular" blogger- no discipline! I figured that I will just pop in from time to time, no guilt, no expectaions. Yeah, that should work.

My little man is off at Grandma and Grandpa's this weekend ( thank you Mom and Dad) and I have been taking advantage of the quiet time to play along with a sketches based online crop at The Scrapping Turtle!

Here is one of my layouts:

This layout is based on a sketch my our own Marissa- beautiful stuff lady!
Hope you all have a great day!!!

Happy Saturday!

Good Morning! I hope you are having a great day! We are off to search for a new couch today, wish us luck!

Here is a layout that I completed last week. It is based on a pagemaps sketch ( love those sketches) and I am very pleased with the result! It didn't photograph well, but I figured I would post anyway:



Have a great day everyone!

I love Tuesday!

Why do I love Tuesday, because my boys go off to work and school and I get to stay home...alone...and I can do whatever I want!!!! Today, I want to do nothing! I think I am just in recovery mode from Christmas! I hope to get some scrapping done today, and that is about it!

The one thing I am not loving today is the challenges I have with taking photos of my layouts! I have whipped up 3 new layouts so far this year, but I can't seem to get a decent photo of them! GRRRRRR!!! Clearly something I need to work on for 2010. Dispite the poor photograph, I am going to show you a layout featuring my word for this year.

I used a sketch by Julie Bonner ( love her sketches), pp is BG Eskimo kisses

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Yes, I am still here..

...just really busy ( I know like everyone else, right?) I have allowed myself to get to busy living life and I haven't blogged about it!!! Things are great, we had a wonderful Christmas holiday and now I am getting ready to go back to work tomorrow! I figured a good way to get back to blogging is to post my 10 fav lo's from last year. I didn't get as much scrapping done as I had hoped ( by a lot!!!) but I am particularly happy with these projects! With no further ado...












The "spring flowers" lo was my first digi ( it is my only so far) so I had to include it!

I have completed 3 lo's so far this year ( yeah!) I need to journal, photograph and hopefully post soon!
Happy Sunday and for all returning to work/ school have a great Monday!!!

A big announcement!!!

Happy Saturday everyone!!! It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day around here!! Today is my first day of vacation (YEAH!!!) and I think my Aunt, Uncle and I are taking my little man to Greenfield Village in Dearborn Michigan for the day! We went for the first time about a month ago, and we liked it soo much we got a season's pass (thanks mom!). Looking forward to a fun day trip!

I am thrilled to announce that I have been chosen as the August Guest DT member for Scrapping Turtle http://www.turtlesoup.scrappingturtle.com/index.php?sid=7dde66b82509b38e9e5e97e2474e8a6e
The Scrapping Turtle is a wonderful store in beautiful St Jacob's Ontario. I love this place and the active message board is my online "home". If you haven't already- you should really check it out!!!
Our Sneak Peak projects went live this morning so I can share my first project with you:


This is my son and mother hanging out at the Henry Ford Museum. The papers are LYB Traveler, and I love them!!!

Thanks for looking! Have a great Sunday!

Happy Sunday! I am visiting some family in London this weekend, but here is a post of a little something I did earlier this week! I was checking out Jennifer MCGuire's blog and she was making the cutest paper pieced owls! I had to try it out!




Aren't they cute! I love the eyes!! I have been working on some stuff this weekend, I will post later on this week! Enjoy your day!

A long lost blogger!

I finally got a day off, and a chance to update my abandoned blog!!
Things around here have been very busy, good but busy! We have had alot of changes over the past few months! My DH lost his job with the Hospital ( cut backs are everywhere) and I was filling in full time for a LOA at a local dentist. Things were pretty touch and go for a little while- but I am happy to say that DH has a new job, and I have been hired for 3 days a week at the office I was temping at. WHEW!! What a roller coaster!

With all the working and stress, my creative pursiuts have taken a back seat. I am thrilled to have some time for myself and am planning an afternoon of scrapping for today!

Here are a few layouts that I completed on Sunday!


We have had some fun too! A couple of weekends ago we went to the Detroit Zoo and the Greenfield village for the weekend. This is a photo of TX on the carousel ( sorry for the spelling mistake on the lo). We had a blast!

Talk about retro supplies!!! I was going through my stash looking for supplies to do this weeks's 52 weeks sketch ( my first layout is a sketch from this awesome site also) I can't get over how big TX is getting- he looks like such a big boy in this photo!

Thanks for checking in! I will try to keep things up better now that things are slowing down ( YIPPEEE!!!)
Have a great day all!
