Love him

Jared and I have been having so much fun with Caesar over. He's so entertaining makes us laugh with all the things he does and the trouble he gets into. He's my buddy when I'm home by myself and Jared has gone to work, working in the garden, watching tv, scrapping, I am absolutely LOVING it!!









I am already trying not to think about Thursday 'cause that's when he goes home, and I can feel myself tear up. He's just awesome!!

Hope you all have a good weekend!!

That's All

Back to school today. Kind of sucks. Feel like I didn't do anything except recover from the surgery. It's going god. Still sore but I got the play doh taken out which is good..cannot wait to eat normal food. Still eating kind of soft food, eating my lunch which is my mom's refried beans...YUM!! But it seems that now I am going back to school I am feeling all inspired and wanting to scrap. Didn't do any scrapping over the break. Did some shopping and re-organzing. That's it. But these are the only two pages I did. The photo of Jared is printed off my new photo printer..super excited to play with it more.



Have a good Wednesday!!

hi!!

Happy March!! Happy thursday!! One more day and it's the weekend!! YAY!! I just have to get through one more day of parent/teacher conferences!! Wish me luck!! Actually not too worried, should be easy!!

Have been keeping up with the daily cards, quite proud of myself. And every night when I sit down at my desk to make one, I get excited with lots of ideas in my head. It's helping me stay creative which is good.



Sorry for the wonky scans, still trying to figure that out!!

Have a good weekend everybody!! It's supposed to nice and sunny over here, looking forward to that!!

hi!!

So, I'm here still. After my last post I bascially got really sick and was home for the rest of the week. No school, just me lying in bed sleeping all day and then moving to the couch and back to the bed. Saw the doctor and I got some antibiotics, feeling better just have this really bad cough left. But I put on Vicks Vaporub before I go to bed and it totally puts me to sleep. The smell reminds me of when I was little and my mom used to put it on me when I was sick.

The rest of this week has been all about playing catch up with life. Kind of sucks but we are back on track so that's good.

Super excited that today is Friday. I am going with my sister, mom and my sister's soon to be in laws across the border for some shopping. We are going wedding dress shopping first and then doing a little more shopping of other kinds after. I am excited!! I hope I find some good finds..on the hunt for some new clothes..maybe swing by at some scrappy stores we shall see. If not will have to save that for when I go with Connie. Have to get up early not, looking forward to that. Oh well!!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!!

that's all

My week has been busy. As soon as Monday hits I am already longing for the weekend, that's so bad. Since school started again I am working more hours at school, still tutoring and now my SU business is picking up again so, I spend a-lot of time preparing for classes and workshops on the weekend. And usually by the time I get home I am so tired I do only the stuff that is needed and end up falling asleep by like 9 or 10. Makes me feel old. Hopefully once I get more into the routine I'll be able to stay up longer.

Especially since my scrap goodies arrive in the mail. I got a bunch of AC albums to finally put all my layouts in, still need to get maybe two more but the pages are in the albums so, that makes me happy and one more thing to check off my list. I also got in the mail my Rainbow Sushi so, I have been anxiously wanting to play with it, and I did last night!! YAY!! I LOVE this photo from our wedding, and I was always scared to scrap it, but I loved the rainbow sushi, the papers, the Hambly and the hearts and I thought it would be just perfect, and it is!! I totally LOVE how it came out!!

I LOVE how sparkly my ring looks!!

Happy it is Thursday today, the weekend is almost here!! I hope everyone is having a good week!! And a good weekend!!

today...

I am just happy that it is Friday today and that the weekend is upon us. The week was really long, it seemed like Friday was never going to get here. Anybody feel the same way?! Did a bit of scrapping. Made one of my "today" pages, love doing them. Just jotting down some things from the day. I'm trying to do one at least every month. Been so good so far. Better than with the daily cards I have been trying to do!!

No big plans for this weekend. Need to make a trip to Office Depot for some copies and other supplies. While I am there will go check out Michaels and see what is new!! Also some time with my parents in Steveston, looking forward to coffee and doing some thrift shopping. And some time with my hubby!! And some more time scrapping too. Hope everyone had a good week. Have a good weekend!! I am going to go and curl up with my book!!

Happy Friday!!

Got home early from work, and just so happy that it is Friday!! It's been a long first week back to school!! I have my Stampin'Up Open house..I'm so bad, can't wait for it to be over. I just want to relax, read, watch tv and do some scrappin'. When I got home there was a lovely surprise waiting for me at the door my Zing Boom kit from
Sistv Cannot wait to play maybe tomorrow night!! Hope everyone has a good weekend, I will be back after the weekend with a lovely post!! Ciao!!

I'm back...

So far as my new year's resolution/goal to update the blog, I have not been doing very well. But, in my defense I had been enjoying my last week of holidays. It was good. And now it is Monday morning and it's back to school. Ugh. I do kind of like being on holidays. But getting paid is good and working with the kids is not really that bad. I still look forward to the day when I can hang out in pj's, scrap all day long, go to Starbucks to people watch. I guess I have to start playing the lottery again.

I hope everyone had a good new years. I hung out with my baby sister. She came over and we watched some Alias and played a whole bunch of games. Jared was home until 10:30pm and then he left. He's been volunteering with Operation Red Nose over December. It's a group of people that if you have too much to drink they come and pick you and your car up. It's a really good organization and I am so proud of Jared for volunteering!! He said it was a pretty interesting evening. Lucky him!! But I did get to eat dinner with him and he played and won at Jenga. We texted each other at midnight!! It was good!!

For the rest of my week I have been spending lots of time with my family and friends. And doing some scrapping too. I'm having another open house on Saturday for the new Stampin'Up Spring and Summer catalogue!! Have been busy making lots of card and project samples, getting there.

Did manage to do some scrap pages...




And I absolutely LOVE how this page turned out, me and my Daddy.

Another goal/resolution was to do the daily cards and I totally suck have not been doing so well but, I will post some soon!!

Happy Monday Everybody!!

Almost there...

I have 2 1/2 days left of school before the Christmas break!! I am so excited!! Two weeks off!! I have so much stuff planned to do, cleaning ugh!! But I need to do a more major clean up of the house..lots of scrapping, relaxing, hanging out with friends and family, hubby time..it will be good!!

I have been so busy with getting Christmas gifts ready that I really haven't had much of a chance to blog, sorry!! Have been doing a bit of scrapping in between kind of as a break from the Christmas gift making but, I am almost done!! Will be finishing the gifts off over the next couple of days and will post some pictures of them soon too!!

Things at home with Jared have been so good. Things are good with us and life. It feels good. Not too much to worry about, still figuring things out but we're doing it together. Lots of hanging out and talking. I am just absolutely loving it!!

Now I wanted to share some scrappies!!






That's about it for now, will be back soon!! Want to post some Xmas pics!! Have a good rest of the week!!

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!!

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!!

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!!

It's A Long Weekend Baby!!

Friday at last!! SO happy!! My week was good!! We had last night a Child Bring Parent Evening..it went well!! The kids are basically the teacher and show the parents around the class. Very cute to see!! Some of the children are super excited and others are all shy and just want to go home. I think they just don't understand how come their back at school after just leaving. Later was Grey's Anatomy Season Finale, very good. It'll be cool to see how the fourth season goes. And Gilmore Girls so good and so sad that it's done...I cried I knew I was going to.

Now I have three circle journal entries to share, finally caught up..I'm so bad!! They will be sent on to everybody over the weekend.

First my entry in Connie's CJ....


Such a good idea for a cj, a swap and a cj all in one. Cool!! I think I went a little crazy with the Primas!! And now for Elizabeth's who just had a cute girl!! Loved her idea too fave music..top three!!


And my last one is for Muriels's cj, the colors green and pink!! Fun!!


So, Jared is gone for the long weekend...the house tonight is quiet!! I miss him already!! But I will still have a good weekend!! Going to be spending some time with my fabulous....

Parents!! Super excited!! Going to sleepover!! And get to see my sister!! I'm going over tomorrow, and staying until Monday!! Lots of chatting, hanging out and watching movies!! it will be good!! Here's hoping that the sun stays all the weekend!! Okay I'm going to go and give myself a pedicure and manicure and watch Clueless!! YAY!! Have a super weekend!!
