The latest

With Jared woking most of the weekend, I've been a mad scrapper this weekend!! Did a bunch of pages, made some cards, and working on my new CJ!! Did finish my hat, but I will post my modelling pics later!! Enjoy!!




















Might do a little bit more scrapping later but, for now I think I should go take my shower!! Going to the mall for a bit with Jared before he goes to work!! Happy Sunday to everybody!!

Go Bears!!

My husband is very happy!! His Bears are going to the Super Bowl!! It was so cute to see him yesterday morning, he woke up early because he couldn't sleep. He was just too excited about the game. I was in the bedroom doing some scrapbooking and listening to my iPod with the earphones and I couldn't still here him screaming and yelling. He was all smiles for the rest of the day!!

I did manage to finish almost two layouts while Jared was watching the game. Will post them soon!! And I finished my tuque but I think it won't fit, it looks too small to me. I will have to take it over to my Mom's so she can check it for me!! I have a feeling I will have to start again!! Oh well!! The fahion show will have to wait.

My weekend was very quiet, hung out with parents on Saturday all day, stayed for dinner which is always good. And we watched the Italian Job, I really like that movie, it's good. Makes me want to go out and buy a Mini, cute cars!!

Jared and I are trying to save some money. Some unexpected stuff came up. And it's hard. We started since the first of January and I think we are doing good so far. I have been good, haven't bought any scrap stuff..only with gift certificates, and Starbucks is still being bought with gift cards from the kids that I got as Christmas presents..which is nice!! So I guess in all it's not really that hard, just discipline..I have to just keeping thinking of all the $$ we will have saved!! We want to buy a house soon..the people who live upstairs are bugging us..and we want our own place.

I hope evryone had a good weekend!! Got some scrappin' done!! Thankgoodness Monday is almost over!! How many more days until the weekend..I'm awful!! Better go and eat some dinner before I go tutor!! Later!!

Cold, Comfty and Creative...

Pretty snazzy title for this post, eh?!It's been SO cold the past couple of days!! We've been getting freezing weather and snow too!! I'm ready for the summer..keep looking at the pics of Hawaii and I SO wish I was there right now. We had our last dump of snow today, of course according to the weatherman and that it should be getting warmer the next couple of days. Which is good because I'm ready for it to go away!! It does look SO pretty with all the white on the ground but I'm ready for it to go!!

Well because it has been so cold all I've been really doing is staying home and keeping warm inside. Watching some tv and doing tons of scrapping. Which is always fun!! I'm loving it, have my iPod on in my ears and sitting on the floor and just playing with all my scrappy stuff. Especially now that it is all nice and organized!! Have been wanting to shar some of my latest pages, which I am lovin' have been doing quite a bit of wedding pages especially with some of my fave pics..like the kissing one...tell me what you think...









Jared teased me for doing a page about the puppy we almost got. I had to, he's too cute and I was wanting to use the new KI pet line..love it!! Besides scrapping I've been doing some knitting. Getting back into it again. I first learned how to crochet and now I'm doing some more knitting now. It's fun!! I usually do it infront of the tv while watching something!! I started making a scarf over the winter break, this chunky and really pretty one I saw in Martha Stewart's Holiday magazine, and I wanted to make one so, my mom helped me. I'm good with the kknitting part but, starting off and ending, still not so much. So my mom helped me to finish it off on Sunday and I really love how it turned out, and it's so warm too.




Not the greatest pic of me but, we're focusing on the scarf!! Now I'm working on a tuque to go with the scarf. It's a litle bit harder 'cause you have to count and follow instructions at least with the scarf you just go!! But so far not too bad!! And when I'm done I will do a fashion shoot and model them for you!!

In the pic you can see a little bit of my organized bookshelf with all my scrappy stuff!! I'm just lovin' all the organization!! Anyways countdown to the weekend..we're getting there..I know it's only Tuesday but a least tomorrow is Wednesday!! Have a super week everybody!!

TGIF!!

Thank goodness it is Friday!! I'm so glad the week is over and the weekend is upon us!! Had another interesting week!! I hate when things are going so well and then your smacked in the face with another thing going wrong. But we'll get through it, I'm not worried.

Anyways my plans for the weekend. Will do some scrapping tonight and tomorrow!! Jared's working until late today and tomorrow. And Sunday we will probably hang out, I know watching the Bears will most likely happen but I'm looking forward to some time with my hubby!! We've been busy all week with work and different schedules!!

Also wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAINA!! I hope you had an awesome and relaxing day!! Big hugs!! ;)

Okay I'm going to go and see if I can find something for dinner!! Hope everyone has a super weekend!!

Probably not going to do too much today and tomorrow, most definetly some scrapbooking, really haven't done any over the break. More cleaning and organizing. Which is good. But I'm feeling inspired so I must scrap!! Especially now that my scrap crap is organized, not on the floor and has a home!! Looks all pretty organized!!

Still trying to figure our the whole header thing on my blog, any help will still be greatly appreciated!! Thankyou in advance!!
Anyways have an awesome weekend!!

Help Needed..

How you liking my new banner?! Isn't it so pretty!! Kristi made it for me!! I figured out how to get it on the blog but, now I need help getting rid of the "The Life of Mrs Magoo" underneath!! Anybody can help me?! Will be greatly apprecited!!

Happy New Year!!

I hope everybody had a fabulous New Year's. Jared and I didn't do anything exciting, ordered pizza and watched movies. We made some martinis, Crantinis, they were delicious!! Love them!!

So, it's my last week of Christmas holidays. Not going to do much. Want to keep cleaning the house, it's funny 'cause every year around New Year's I just feel the need to clean. Things around the house are coming along. Have all of my scrap stuff organized on the bookshelf that i brought over from my parents house, still have so much stuff over there. Slowly but surely it's making its way over here!! It's hard though, we have no room here!! Totally want to do some scrapping too, feel inspired now that all my stuff is organized!! Will see some friends and hang out with my family. Hung out with my sister today, we went shopping!! Tons of fun!!

No crazy resolutions for me this year. The usual as every year; Save money, that's a big one..want a house very soon, try to exercise... well at least go for walks twice a week, that's a realistic start for me, and spend more time with my hubby, family and friends..that one is pretty easy!!

Hope everybody is having a good week so far, I'm going to go and take down the Christmas decorations!! Later!!

Still here...

Just wanted to let everybody know that I am still here. With the Christmas holidays and everything , life got busy!! Christmas was good, our first Christmas for Jared and I as a married couple, it was good!! I'm on Christmas break from school, have been enjoying that. Got the nasty cold that everybody seems to have been hit with. I'll probably be laying low on the blog until the new year, so much I want to do here around the house, and with family and friends, do some scrapping as well. On a bit of a break..so I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all my blogger friends!! Big hugs!!

Random...

Life is so busy right now. With all the Christmas stuff, making gifts and cards, shopping, getting things ready at school for our Christmas concert and party, busy. But that's okay, I don't mind!! So because my head is swirling with so much stuff, I thought I would just do random and say whatever.

We didn't get our Christmas tree over the weekend, this weekend for sure. It was hard to really study the trees with still so much snow on them. This weekend for sure, I'm excited to decorate!!

No time for scrappies, this past weekend either or during the week. Working on our Christmas cards, cards to sell and gifts!! I'm wanting to scrap, will try this weekend fo sure!!

I think I lost my touch in making really good coffee!! I was known for it and now all the coffee I make in the morning tastes like poo!! Will have to try something else, maybe a different cream?! I don't know.

I have been enjoying a Gingerbread Latte almost everyday!! Yummy!!

Had a little girl at school tell me that the matching shapes board was her passion..cute!! This is the second time she tells me too!!

I have baby fever...soon but, not yet!! Doesn't help that a-lot of new babies are arriving at school!!

Need to go grocery shopping, my dinner tonight is a peanut butter and jam sandwich. Awful!!

Tonight after tutoring going to my parent's house to help my mom decorate the tree, I'm excited!! Will have fun!!

Been thinking about doing another CJ group, anybody interested, let me know!!

For those that have let me know that they want to help me with some wedding pics and scrapping a page, will send out the pics probably in January..thankyou, I haven't forgotten!!

Wanted to wish Barb and Maria a happy belated birthday!! Hope you two celebrated well with some cake and maybe a couple of martinis ;)!!

Happy Wednesday to everybody the weekend is almost here!! YAY!!

white...

That's how the weather has been since Saturday!! We've had snow, ice and it has been SO cold!! There's some Arctic flow passing through. And from what I have learned it only happens every twenty years...lucky us!! According to the weather forecast, tonight is supposed to be the last dump of snow..anywhere between 5 to 10cm...let's hope for lots so maybe I will get a snow day and have no school!! The rain should be coming back soon too, apparently tomorrow..so that's good. So not used to the snow, it does look pretty!! And I did take some pretty snow pictures!!




Except for being cold the snow IS pretty!! I'm especially loving the iceicles, they are really cool to look at.

Everything else in life is going...things are good and busy which is good!! Jared is good, busy working but what else is new. He's finally getting better he was sick with this horrible cold that's been going around, and it looks like the cough is finally disappearing. I think this weekend we are going to get our Christmas tree. I'm excited, finally get to decorate our place with all our Christmas decorations, I am excited. I might start some Christmas shopping too. Haven't started yet, but I have all the ideas up in my head and written down too 'cause I seem to forget things sometimes. I hate that. Especially when you have such a good idea, and then you forget. But other than that, things are good, life is good. Want to do some scrapping this weekend too, and finish our Christmas cards, and of course hang out with my hubby!!

Well that's it for now, hope all is well with everybody!!

Scrapped Saturday Away...

And that's just what I did yesterday. Jared went to a funeral (I didn't know the guy) and he was basically gone all day, didn't get home until late. So, I spent most of my Saturday scrapping. Had the music going and some coffee, it was good!! Here's what I came up with, quite happy with myself!!





So, I only came up with four pages yesterday, that's not bad. Will probably do some more today, have to do Elizabeth's Your music CJ too!! Will get done and shipped out to Hailey tomorrow!!

As for the rest of Sunday, Jared's watching football right now. He's still kind of sick more of a cough than anything. But I'm hoping we can hang out together a bit today!! I want to go to Ikea and get some things to organize some of my scrap stuff.It's beginning to drive me cazy!! Everything is spread out between 3 rooms. I wissh I had my own room. But I scrap on the kitchen table so, I can't leave everything there. And later tonight is Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters, love those shows!!

All the crap that was going on is SO much better. It's somewhat resolved. Jared got into a car accident with my car...he's okay, the car was not so much!! We have been waiting to see if the insurance company was going to fix it or write it off. Luckily I get to pick up my car tomorrow!! I'm excited have misssed it so much. SO it was that crap, and of course Jared and I fighting doesn't help, and money. When is it not money!! But everything has turned out, so I'm glad!! So, thanks again for all the kind words!!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!!

Just...

Changing my pic for the profiles, will update more later!!

Happy Birthday Mr Magoo!!

Wanted to wish my fabulous hubby, happy birthday!! He turns 29 today!! WOw!! I was with him when he celebrated his 20th, look how far we've come honey!! He's watching a football game right now with buddies and I'm cooking him dinner later!! Hope you have a fabulous day honey!! Love you SO much!!

Just wanted to thank everybody for the nice comments, things are better!! Was feeling really mad and sad and just didn't feel like posting anyting, needed a break in some ways!! Things are getting resolved, will find out on Tuesday!! But thanks again!! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!

I've had a crappy week. So much stuff happened. Just trying to think positive right now, which is even hard for me right now. Usually I am always thinking positive when crap happens. Trying to right now. Will update hopefully soon when things are not looking so blue.

Let's Try the Scrappies Again!!

Looks like Blogger is agreeing with me today!! It's letting me post some pages!! YAY!! Tghe first one is Jill's CJ and my entry in it!!

The rest is a mix of wedding, hawaii and other things...





Love these pages..have been feeling the scrappy mojo!! Happy Wednesday everyone!! We're halfway to the weekend!!

My weekend and some Scrappies...

So, I had a long weekend. Pro-d day on Friday, which was awesome!! Still had to tutor French in the morning which is fine!! But the rest of the afternoon was spent with my parents. We had some lunch, did a little shopping and then my mom went grocery shopping with me!! Love my parents!! They're awesome!! After I went home dropped off the groceries and went to do a couple more errands. Went to the mall, looking for new runners and a bag for school to carry all my stuff in. No luck!! I did find some new books to read!! Finally found an Audrey Hepburn autobiography!! Have been wanting to read one for so long and finally found it!! It's hard to find books about her!! Was so excited to read it, and it's good so far!! After the mall headed to Michaels and Office Depot!! Found some skeletons, I'm going to decorate like the one's Elsie did!! They're so cute!! And neede some school stuff at Office Depot!! Came home, had dinner and watched Ghost Whisperer. Jared came home later!!

Saturday was pretty low key. Did some crafty Halloween stuff!! Watched "Funny Face" with Audrey Hepburn, love that movie!! If anyone watched Gilmore Girls this past week, it was the movie that Lorelai and Christopher watched on their date, with the movie against the barn..so romantic!! Hung out with Jared before he went to work!! Sunday my friend Connie had a Stampin'Up party, so I went tons of fun!! Ordered a bunch of stuff, exciting!! Later Jared and I went out to dinner, which was nice!! Love him SO much and love hanging out with him!! It's hard 'cause life is busy for both of us and we have different schedules so, we don't get too much time together. That's why weekends are SO important!! For time together!! Then we met up with our friends Mike and Jen for coffee and chatting!! Fun!! Came home and watched Desperate Housewives..good and watched Brothers and Sisters, anybody watch it?! I like it, it's good!! Even Jared likes it!!

And that was my weekend!! Now it's Monday again!! Wanted to share some scrappy pages, quite proud of them actually!! I submitted for thee Story of My Own Design Team but, no luck!! Oh well, got some pretty good pages from it!!

Okay I'm trying and Blogger will not let me post my pages!! I'll try again later!! Hope everyone had a good weekend!!

9 Years...

Today 9 years ago Jared and I went on our first date!! We had coffee at the Bread Garden, which closed down right after we went there before Jared proposed last year. Adn we enjoyed a good night of lots of chatting, not really. It was more me chatting away and Jared kept saying "right on." And now look where we are..finally married!! Love my Mr Magoo so much!! Happy 9 years honey!!

Ribs and Sushi

It's Monday, already?! Ugh!! The weekend just flew by, as it alsways does!! My weekend was good!!

Saturday, we finally got some heat. The landlord came over wih somebody to fix the furnace. So, I'm not freezing anynore!! Jared and I took it easy, we're lazy and relaxed. It was good. Because my mom and sister Vanessa are in California I had my Dad and baby sister Olga over for dinner. It was good. I made BBQ ribs in the crock pot, they were SO good and so easy to make. Makes the house smell really good when you walk in the house. And I got some sushi and edamame beans too. So, I half cooked. Jared couldn't make it he had to work. But my Dad and Olga LOVED the dinner and told me how delicious it was!! My Dad brought dessert, cheesecak. Very yummy!! It was tons of fun!! I;m glad I had them both over and impressed them with my cooking skills ;) I took picture so, I could email my mom and Vanessa so, they could see what they're missing!!


So, look who we ALMOST brought home on Saturday!! Isn't he a cutie!!

Feeking a little disappointed because I really WABTED him!! Had a name all picked out and everything and of course super excited!! But we decided that we're going to wait until Summer 'cause I'll be on break and can spend more time with him and training him as well. Which is good 'cause the last thing we want to do is leave all alone. Still feeling a little sad about not bringing him n=home. He's just TOO cute!! Countdown to the summer!!

Anyways I hope evryone had a good weekend!! Here's to another short week for me!! YAY!! No school on Friday!!
