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!!

Good.

It has been a really good weekend. It has been so nice and sunny outside and I got to do a-lot of things.

















Here's to a good week too!!

Quickly Hooked

Just wanted to do a quick post. Weekend was good. Busy, but good. Taught a class, slept in, scrapped a bit and spent some time with hubby. Which I always love.

I finished my first ATC. Was so excited about this I joined a Beautiful Blooms ATC over at SIS and I can see how addicting it can be to make these, and it's fairly quick too. Good way to use up all your left over scraps.

Here's mine..love how it turned out...


Hope everyone had a good weekend. More later. Happy Monday!!

Mondays Come Too Fast!!

The weekend just flew by. They always do. But lately it just seems even quicker. And I don't have a day off like the rest of the country does, very unfair. They have talked about changing it, let's hope it goes in effect next year. That would be nice.

My weekend was good. Friday night Jared and I went out for our Valentine's Dinner. It was fun. Lots of talking and laughing. I just LOVE hanging out with my hubby!! After we went to Blockbuster and rented a movie. We rented Ocean's 13. But I ended up falling asleep on the couch. I was super tired plus I think the Bellini and the martini didn't help.

Saturday morning I got my hair done. A cut and some highlights. Love going to the hair dresser. She just put some different shades of brown and I got my hair cut, shorter. I love it!!

I did a little photo shoot, tons of fun!! Then Connie came over and we went out to Langley which is about a 30 to 45 minute drive from my place. Did some shopping. We went to two scrap stores, Michaels, Starbucks and Chapters. Got some scrap goodies, more stuff to play with. Had a chai latte and a chocolate cupcake at Starbucks, yummy!! And got two new books to read. I'm really enjoying reading again!!



The movie looks so good, and so I want to read the book before I see the movie!!

I have been eyeing this one for awhile...I have heard such good things about this book.

Just finished reading the Kite Runner, loved it so good!! Don't know if I want to see the movie though. Now I am reading Shopaholic and Baby, just love that series. Makes me laugh!!

So, after shopping (sorry I got off topic) we went back to my place packed up some scrappy goodies and went back to Connie's place. Her hubby made us some daiquiris..yummy!! We had some Greek food, watched Breakfast at Tiffany's (love that movie), by the time we were done with dinner and almost finished watching the movie we were both dead tired...no energy left. So, I went home!! We had so much fun together, we're planning a shopping day across the border over Spring Break..super excited. My goal is to not go to the scrap store until then, about a month...I think I can do it!!

Sunday was rather quiet. Jared had a soccer game in North Vancouver, a fair drive so he left at about 3:30pm and I went and got some pictures developed...we are still working on buying our photo printer..cannot wait for that!! Came home and made myself some Cafe and I began to work on my scrap space and the area surrounding, I cleaned and reorganized. you can now see the floor and I got rid of some stuff. It's not too bad. I think I will need a trip to Ikea soon though maybe for a new desk and more storage containers. But it's clean so, I'm glad. I am going to tackle my patterned paper basket next and reorganize that. Did manage to do a page this is for
OLW Love how it turned out, Jared and I way back when.

Never posted these..from last weekend I think...



By the time I was done organizing and cleaning, I was hungry so I had some macaroni and cheese, love the white cheddar flavour..YUM!! I crashed on the couch, did some knitting and Jared made it home in time for Brothers and Sisters, love that show.

I hope everyone had a good weekend too!! This week is busy, I have class on Saturday have to prepare for that, and parent-teacher conferences are next week..fun..get to prepare for that. I will be back soon because I was tagged by the fabulous
Brandy will have to post that up soon!! Have a good week!!

I {heart} Sunday afternoons

It's true I do. They are usually spent sleeping in late, being lazy and doing something creative. That's how my Sunday afternoon was spent. Jared still has a bit of a cold so he has spent most of the afternoon on the couch and I have been in the bedroom scrapping away and listening to some music. Did manage to make three pages and all with my Rainbow Sushi I love how they turned out.



I could've done so much more. Need to make more time. Saturday I had a SU party, it went well. It was with a group of latinas so, I got to practice my Spanish which is always good. My mom came too and she had a good time!! By the time I got home I was so tired..plopped myself on the couch ate some dinner and watched some tv. I watched Trading Spaces now that Paige Davis is back I'm watching it again, I totally loved it!! Then went to bead and read a little before I passed out!!

Now I think it's time to go and maybe start on some dinner, making some Chicken Curry, yummy!!

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!!

Nesting

I had a good and relaxing weekend!! It snowed all weekend over here. And it was so nice to stay inside, nice and warm!! I didn't have anywhere to go so I stayed home!! And i was busy being creative!! Made lots of things!! Did some scrappies and worked on some Christmas gifts that I am making for friends and family. Will share later. But for now here I what I made...



Love how these pretty snowflakes came out!! And of course when I was done there was glitter on me and everywhere else.

And now some pages, they are all from the Sistv collections. I finally had a chance to play with them!! Cannot wait to do some more!! I love these collections they are so easy to use and so fun!!




Love how the pages came out!! I did most of these pages on Saturday!! And Sunday I was busy creating in the kitchen. Made a new recipe in the slow cooker, Tamale Pie it turned out really yummy and I baked some Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies so yummy!! Something about snow and cold just makes you want to cook and bake.

Jared was home all of Sunday too, he was busy watching his Bears game. Which unfortunately they lost. I also worked on another mini album that I'm almost done and then I will post!! I still have to post the mini I made about Hawaii.

And we watched Desperate Housewives, what's going to happen to Tom and the kids? And watched also Brothers and Sisters, I am so happy that Kitty and Robert got married. Sometimes I wish how fun it would be to join in on one of their family get togethers, I know it's only tv but still. Can't wait to see what happens next.

The snow was still here when I woke up this morning but, it's starting to rain so, unfortunately I don't think school will be having a snow day!! Which is too bad 'cause I was kind of thinking it would be nice to get all creative again today!!

Also wanted to say thank you to everybody for all the wonderful comments from my last post. Getting to be chosen for the catwalk has totally made my week or even more..year but, it was a total boost of confidence!!

Hope you all have a good week!! Be back soon!!

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!!
