Update

The long weekend was good. Still totally missed Caessar. I am so happy that it is a short week too. Need all of your advice and help. I want to update my blog and need some ideas and inspiration. I find it So boring too. I've actually been thinking of going to the other blog
site 'cause from what I have heard it seems easier to arrange and add things but the whole paying thing I don't know..still thinking!! So send me some ideas and remember I am a bit of "dummie" with some computer stuff..I am still learning. SO send me..

Will be back with lots of latest creations..I have been busy!! Cheers!!

Some stuff...

Hi!! I have been meaning to update but it seems that life has just gotten so busy. Really haven't had any energy to blog but I have thought about it ;) So happy it's Saturday today and that I actually have it off and have no where to run off too. April has been a busy month. And I got to sleep in today, until 11am. I have been looking forward to it all week!!

Finally finished reading this...

It was SO good. Took me awhile to get into it but once stuff started happening..I was instantly hooked. I'm still surprised at what the Boleyn family made the girls do. Can't wait to see the movie now, although I think I have to wait for it to come out to DVD!!

I am now reading this...

Just started super excited to read it..I have heard some good things about this book.

Have been doing some scrapping.
Got my SOMO March kit and have done two pages. Will be doing more hopefully tonight!!


Two of my friends..love how the pages turned out!! I also got one of the latest kits at SIS it's called the Romantic and I cannot wait to play with this one too!!

Look what came out on DVD on Tuesday!!

Going to go and pick that up today!! Can't wait to watch it!! Love these two..they make me laugh!!

Will post more but will be back with photos and more..hopefully some scrap pages..going to the USA tomorrow to get bridesmaid dresses and do some shopping..super excited!! Have a good weekend!!

Random...

Thought I would do a random post today. So many things going on, and on my mind!!

1. Parent/Teacher Conferences: I have parent and teacher conferences tomorrow. So looking forward to having this be done, have it also next Thursday. So, wish me luck!!

2. ATC or Artist Trading Cards: I did my first ones, and I absolutely LOVED it!! Check out my post from before. It was so easy and I LOVE how you can use your leftover scraps and be completely artistic!! Tons of fun!! I have another that I am doing over at
SIS. Super excited about this one too, the
fabulous Brandy is hosting it and it's all about Starbucks, so many ideas swirling in my head.

3. Books...I totally back into reading again. LOVE it, I have so many books piled up next to my bed that I am so excited to read. I am currently reading this book:

Absolutely LOVING it, excited to watch the movie again after I'm done but, I think I might find some more books of her too. And maybe read more books of history and people from way back when...does that make any sense?! Any suggestions would be great!!

4. Spring and Spring Break: Is almost here!! I have Spring Break in two and a half weeks YAY!! and spring is almost here too..love all the flowers that are coming out too..my bulbs are slowly peeking through but, I love having a vase flowers in the house like the tulips I bought the other day. SO pretty!!


5. Budget: So, I know it's only really been a week since I wrote down that I wasn't going to buy any scrap goodies until I go shopping with Connie over Spring Break over the border and I have been doing good. I go over to a couple of scrapbooking sites..like the ones on my side bar and fill my shopping cart so, far I haven't purchased anything, I'm doing good...

6. Scrap Goodies: It was so nice on both Monday and Tuesday I received some scrap goodies in the mail, this is okay for the budget..stuff from Stampin'Up for some workshops and the SOMO February kit super excited to play with this and some fabulous and wonderful goodies from the fabulous Jill that I won in her RAK!! This will totally help with the scrap budget. Super excited to play this weekend!!

That is all I have so far!! I hope you all have a good rest of the week!! And happy weekend too!! Hugs!!

TGIF

So happy it's Friday!! YAY!! Not much going on. Lots of stuff to do still for Christmas, still making things but, it's coming along...will show pics soon too!! So, I fianlly managed to upload my minis that I have been making. I love making them!! So fun and easy and easily addictive. It's also fun to make something different!! I can for see me making more!! Already have a couple of other ideas for some...





So, what are you all doing this weekend?! Probably what I'm doing too..Jared and I are going Christmas shopping this weekend, hopefully we'll get most of it done!! I went to the mall on Wednesday to pick up this...


I absolutely loved Laverne and Shirley in high school, now I know it's not from my generation but they used to show reruns of it all the time and my bff in high school and I used to watch them all the time together, that and Grease, that's another story!! I was so happy when they started bringing the series out on DVD..so, that is what I will be watching this weekend and making Christmas gifts.

I also bought this...

Had to after watching the Victoria Secret Fashion Show..loved them when they were around while in high school!! Have been listening to them in the car and totally just dancing away while driving!!

Hope you all have a good weekend!!

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!!

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!!

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!!
