Nervous and Excited

I have been meaning to post earlier but, last week was so busy. I was trying to finish up all mu Stampin'Up stuff. I had my first workshop this past Sunday. In the beginning I was more excited than nervous but, as soon as I got to the place, I got really nervous and a bit shaky. Almost how I used to feel when we would have to do speeches in front of the class in high school. But it was good. Luckily it was mostly in front of people I knew, my sil, and Jared's brother girlfriend. Everybody was really easy going and it was fun!! And I did well in sales which is good and made a little moolah!! Always good!!

I also started a blog for my Stampin'Up stuff. I'm planning on posting about my workshops, classes I am offering, specials, and different projects. Basically anything I can think of. So, please check me out!! And leave me a comment!!
It's Stamps, Ink and Paper

So, I was bad. Jared and I are trying to figure out this whole $$$ thing and saving so, we've kind of started a budget and I went a little crazy last week and bought a couple of things. I feel bad. I have been thinking about taking the things back but, Jared says not to worry about it. But it's hard. And I was doing so well for a bit..gotta get back on track!!

Super excited that this week is a short week!! I get the day off on Friday!! We have a province wide teacher professional day!! YAY!! I have no meetings or conferences to go to so, I get the day off!! Super excited!! Might go and get my hair don, I am debating it now because of the $$$ thing, but sleeping in and scrapping is definetly on the list!! And I need to plant some bulbs finally for the Spring!! Maybe some cleaning..we'll see how I am feeling!!

That's it for now, more to come soon!! Have a super wek!! Ciao!!

Happy "Turkey" Day!!

So excited that it is a long weekend this weekend!! YAY!! Up here in Canada we're celebrating our Thanksgiving this weekend!! So Jared and I get two turkey dinners this weekend!!

The headaches are still here. Which totally sucks but it's connected to my tooth. Thankfully they're not migraines and I also thought that's what they were or a left over of my cold. So, yesterday I went to the dentist and she gave me some antibiotics and hopefully that works. The pain of the tooth and the headaches better go away soon.

Watched Grey's last night, it was good as always!!Love that show!! And tonight Jared and I are going for dinner with some friends. I hope I can eat okay, I had for dinner yesterday soup and smoothie. We're having Mexican, I already feel bad, every time i go for Mexican 'cause my mom's Mexican food is the best!!

I also did some more scrapping this week. Did more pages from my
SOMO kit. The September kit is so fun!! I found it easier to use than the August kit.




Check them out at SIS!!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!!

Life and Being busy

Sorry for the lack of blogging. Life has been busy and stuff has been going on and I have been feeling a little negative and so, I have not wanted to post anything. Just decided to disappear for a bit. But things are looking good again and everything is going to get all sorted out so, that's always good.

Besides life and other things, everything has been good. Have been working on my Stampin'Up stuff and getting everything all organized. Almost have all my class stuff ready. It's been taking me awhile but that's okay. I also find that sometimes the creative juices get sucked out of you!! Especially when it's kind of like "work" and you have to do it. But it's getting there. My goal is to have it all ready and done by next week. I have my first party next weekend. So, I am super excited and nervous. Still trying to figure out how I am going to teach scrapping...it's easier to do than teach I think. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I bought a whole bunch of bulbs to plant for next year!! So excited already to see thme bloom!! Especially since everything in my garden has pretty much died. Boo!! I am enjoying the fall weather..the rain and cold is not too bad..not yet anyways!! Still love summer!!

Last week was the season premiere of a whole bunch of new shows!! YAY!! That made me happy!! Monday's because Jared is home we watch Heroes, K*ville and CSI Miami..k8ville was good and Heroes love it, they always leave you hanging!! Wednesday, I love Gossip Girl so bad but so good..kind of like the OC and ANTM so fun!! Thursday Grey's Anatomy..love it and also watched Big shots..kind of like Sex and the City for guys, Friday Ghost Whisperer and Las Vegas, love those!! And Sunday I think is probably one of my fave days for tv..Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters..LOVE those two shows!!

This past weekend I finally caught the awful cold bug that has been going around, I probably caught it from Jared he was sick the weekend before. It was bearable except for the headaches...I don't feel like doing anything!! But for some reason I got a whole bunch of creative mojo going when the headaches weren't there. Got lots done and working on two minis which I will share soon but for now here we go...





These two pages are made with the Aug. kit of SOMO not quite sure I like them, I had a hard time with this kit.



I just got the September kit for SOMO on Friday so, I managed to do a page and working on a mini with this kit too..will share soon!! Quite happy with this one!! Did it yesterday while watching DH and Brothers & Sisters.

All my pages are over at SIS check 'em out, the link is on the side bar!!

That's it for now I will try to do another post again this week and update more often than not..happy monday everybody!!

Still here...

Life has been so busy with school, tutoring and Stampin'Up. Trying to find a balance, it's hard sometimes. Plus I have lots of things on my mind with work. We'll see.

So glad it's Thursday!! I need the weekend. Have been wanting to scrap, just got my August kit from SOMO and I am excited to play with the goodies plus some other things I want to work on!! And Jared has been so busy with work that we haven't really had a chance to spend time together so, I am looking forward to some time with my hubby!!

I did do some scrapping last weekend while watching the Bears game with hubby!! Check it out!!


And I did my first 6x12 page..I liked the size will definetly do some more pages in that size!!

Hope everyone is having a good week!! Have a super weekend!!

Back to Reality

So, I was at school and all i could think about was..I wish I was at home scrapping the day away while on summer break. That's bad, eh?! But it's the truth.

The first day back was not too bad. It was easy. We had class tours with the new children. They come with their parents to check the classroom, meet the teachers. They're usually only there for about 15minutes. So it wasn't that bad. We shall see tomorrow, and how many criers we have!!

My long weekend was good. Jared and I went to a wedding on Saturday up in Kamloops which is about a 4 and a half car ride. It wasn't too bad!! At least it wasn't scorching hot. The wedding was at three, Jared's cousin got married. It was quick. We drove back home too the same day. It was a long day but good. I got tons of pictures and they are all going to be scrapped very soon, still have to get them developed.

This is all of us in the car; Jared and I and Jared's brother Josh and his girlfriend Tanya.


We stopped for lunch..and check out Jared and his sunglasses..totally a 70's cop!! Isn't Officer Magoo a hottie!!



And some pics at the wedding ceremony and reception!!



I love this pic...Me, Jared, Josh, Tanya, Jocelyn and Gabe!! Can you see the resemblance of Jared and his brother and sister...

Jared's sister is engaged too..this is her and her fiance...

Showing off her ring...


Sunday, we slept in a bit and relaxed. For dinner we had Chinese food and rented some movies. We saw Catch and Release..it was good, I love Jennifer Garner. After I went and read HP7..almost done and Jared watched his violent boy movie.

Monday Jared went to work and I stayed home and cleaned the house and worked on my Stampin'Up stuff,,still trying to figure out classes and making some samples.

And now here I am, Tuesday night and I think I am going to try do a bit of scrapping..it's still early!! Hope everyone had a good long weekend!! ANd all my teacher friends a good first day back..how many days till the weekend..almost it's hump day tomorrow!! Later!!

Taking It All In...

So, it's basically my last week of summer holidays..kind of. I do have to go into the class tomorrow and Wednesday but, that's probably it. Just to move things around and organize things. Ugh. I don't want to go back. I know I've already complained but it's the truth so, bear with me. I am excited to see the children again and meet the new ones starting and maybe kind of excited to see my co-workers but there's other things that are not too great. Let's just hope there is no drama this year, 'cause I don't know if I will be able to deal with it. Let's just say it might be time for a change soon. Oh, and getting a paycheck is always good!!

The weekend was good. Friday got together with Connie and we scrapped the day away. It was fun. A good last summer scrap session before going back to school. We watched some movies while we scrapped away..The Devil Wears Prada...LOVE that movie and LOVE Anne Hathaway and watched The Three Amigos..it was my fave movie when I was small, my sisters and I used to rent it all the time, like every weekend. It's so funny. Love it!! Got to play with some of my new Stampin'Up scrap stuff..fun..will post more of those pages later when I am done.

Saturday was my Mom's birthday. She finally turned 26years old...after being 25 for the past what 10years or something ;) It was good, my sisters and I cooked dinner for her. It was yummy!! My Dad got her a digital camera so, she was pretty excited!!

Love this pic of my parents!!

Sunday I basically scrapped most of the day away!! Trying to get lots in!!Here they are..these are with the July kit at SOMO


And some more...




And this page. I love it. I made my parents for Mother's and Father's day some mini albums filled with quotes and pics and I came across this quote and loved it, 'cause it's so true. Had to do a page with it!! The quote says "The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother." ~Theodore Hesburg

One thing I missed was that Jared worked most of the weekend!! So, we didn't really spend too much time together..hopefully tonite!!

Got some pics of my sister and her new ring!! Very pretty!!

And the rock...

And this pic makes me happy... the sunflower decided to bloom finally!!

Hope everyone has a good week!! A bientot!!

What's Going On...

Sorry I have been such a bad blogger. Life has been busy and I have been trying to enjoy the last bit of summer vacation I have left. I go back to school next week. Need to arrange furniture, files and organize tons of things. Fun!! Kind of have mixed feelings about going back...might be time to find something else but, one thing I am looking forward to is a paycheck again. That is awesome!!

So, my Stampin'Up open house went really well. Jared cooked some amazing food and I have lots of samples to look at, some make and takes, a draw and I sold a-lot. Which is awesome!! Got lots of free goodies and made some $$$!! YAY!! Definetly gave me a boost of confidence, that I can do this and that I am good at it. Very good!! Already have some ideas for classes that I am going to offer and I have two booked workshops so far!! YAY!!

Will be making an appointment with the dentist. My teeth are sore. So I am worried they probably just need a good cleaning. But because of my Dad and what he went through with the war and his teeth I am always so conscious of my teeth. That and they are very important. But the dentist is always so expensive but, I guess it is worth it!!

Good news!! My sister is engaged!! YAY!! I am so happy for her and her fiance..it's about time!! Looking forward to another wedding!! Sorry this is an old picture from Christmas will get one soon..still need to see the rock!!

Not much happening..have been doing some scrapping now that the Open House is done, which is good...have missed it a bit!! Did some pages with the July kit from
Story of my Own the papers are very pretty!!



And some other ones...


Since Jared is at work tonight my plan is to do some more scrapping!! I hope everyone is doing well..another update sooner rather later again..I promise!! Ciao!!

A break and a bit of a freak out

Thought I would take a break from all the stamping and preparing for my open house on Sunday, which as it is closer now I am feeling even more nervous and a bit freaked out. Just want to do well... I have been busy making a ton of samples to show and I still have to finish the make 'n takes and the cards for the draw. That shouldn't take me too long.

In between as a kind of break I have been scrapping, have my scrapping mojo totally there and I just need to create. It's hard 'cause I don't really have that much Stampin'Up scrap stuff so, I can't show my creations on Sunday. Which is okay, it also gives me a reason to buy some stuff to scrap with for SU, which is good. It will be a challenge so, we'll see!!

But here is my latest and greatest.....




And these two pages are made from the June kit at
Story of my Own Loved all the Love, Elsie in that kit and I love the colors!!



Thankyou to everyone for the nice comments and concerns with the scare at Jared's work. Everything has calmed down, thankfully!! And we're doing good!! Better go and do more stamping and preparing, promise to post tons of pics, Jared's making food for the open house..YUMMY!! Have a good weekend!!

A bit of everything...

I had every intention of posting earlier but, it has been a busy and interesting week. Good and bad. But that's okay

We had a bit of a scare on Tuesday night. At the restaurant that Jared works in a man with a gun came in. Scary. Jared said that he was all masked and completely covered, you could not see his face. Luckily no one got hurt, just a big scare. They had to shut down the restaurant and Jared ended up dealing with a-lot of things. Luckily the police came right away and they caught the guy. Apparently it was gang related. Scary.

Had car problems on Wednesday night. I was on my way to my first team meeting with
Stampin'Up and the car started to smoke as I was driving and stuck in rush hour traffic. I had to pull over basically right after I got off the bridge. The coolant was completely empty so, I had to wait for the car to cool down before I could put more in. A nice guy cam over and helped me and talked to me. He was harmless, older...talked about his Porsche, lucky him and here I am with my little VW Golf!! That's okay!! I went straight to my parent's house, my Daddy knows everything about cars. SO, the car went to the mechanic yesterday nad he's back and it didn't cost too much $$$. But I didn't make it to the meeting. Next time.

Talking about Stampin 'Up, I have my Open House next Sunday. SO excited and nervous too. Lots of stuff to organize and put together. I want to do well. Have been making tons of samples and Jared was telling me last night what he's going to prepare to eat!! He's my caterer ;) It's going to be yummy!! SO, if your in the Vancouver BC area let me know so, you can come by!! Will post pics of the Open House for sure!!

With all the stuff I've been doing for Stampin'Up I haven't had a chance to scrap going to try tonight. Going to the scrap store later, they are having adhesive at 40% so, I am going to stock up!! Jared will be scrapping with me this weekend too, we got the supplies for our page!! So excited about that!!

I am still reading Harry Potter 7 too. Taking my time and completely enjoying it. Luckily I haven't come across any spoilers on the web.

For those that know, know that I am totally not an exercise kind of girl. But for my birthday I asked for a yoga mat, specifically in pink, and I got it!! So, I have been doing yoga pretty much everyday and I love it!! I only do it from home right now with a book and DVD but it feels amazing so far. Once school starts and we have some steady $$ coming in again, I think I might start going to classes.

So I did get together with Alice last Saturday we had so much fun!! Check out her blog she posted some pics!! Her puppy Gizmo is SO cute, makes me want a puppy even more..I have to keep working on Jared either that or just come home with one. But, we watched Love Actually..love it, had sushi,stamped, and played Wii!! SO fun!! I would like one now, I told Jared..he said maybe for Christmas so, we'll see!!

So, off the top of my head that is all I could remember that I was going to post about!! I hope everyone has a fab weekend!! Enjoy the sun!! Later!!
