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!!

We have royalty visiting at the Magoo Residence...

Well kind of, not really. Just his name.

Meet Caesar.

Isn't he a cutie?! Yes and my hubby too ;) Don't they make quite a pair these two.

I'm already falling for him. We're dog sitting for two weeks. He's so fun!! And cute!! And sweet!! It's just nice to have company when Jared's at work or playing soccer. He's an American Bulldog. And I'm hoping that it might do some convincing for Jared that we can get a dog. I know wishful thinking. But he's fun!!

My week was good. I also have some more exciting news!! I'm super excited about this one. I got asked by our school board to teach a scrapbooking class to the teachers on the next professional day. Which is on May 16th!! I'm so excited!! Lots of stuff still do but I'm realizing now that I LOVE to teach scrapbooking rather than sell. So, any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Finished my Tutti-Fruitty ATC's!! So fun!! I am addicted to making these cards!!


Tomorrow is Scrapbooking day!! I'm excited about it!! Will be getting my scrap on. Have some kits waiting to be used!!

Have a good weekend!!

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!!

The Catwalk

Exciting news!! So, I made the catwalk over at SIS this week. Super excited about it!! Especially since I wasn't too crazy about my page!! Total boost of confidence!!



Check me out here

And I finished my Fashion ATC, and absolutely LOVE how they turned out!! I was inspired by the little black dress!!






So glad that it's Thursday today and Friday is tomorrow. Although Jared is gone this weekend for a soccer tournament in Whistler. So, it's just me this weekend!! Have a conference on Saturday morning..fun and on Sunday I am going bridesmaid dress shopping with my sister, excited about that!!

Hope you all had a good week and have a very 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!!

For my hubby...

Sorry for not posting, haven't really had anything to say. Been missing my hubby 'cause he has been so busy with work and we haven't really had any time together. That and I thought my scrappin mojo was gone so, I decided to play with my new photo printer and see if that would help, and it did. Love how this page came together.

Will be doing some more scrapping this weekend for sure!! Hope everyone is well!! And I will be back with more!!

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!!

Happy Easter!!

Just wanted to wish everybody a very happy easter!! I hope the Easter bunny finds you!! I'm doing okay, the surgery went well. I'm still sore, and feel like I have play-doh in my mouth. Can't wait to get it out on Wednesday. It's really only glue, that's holding the stitches in place. So, enjoy all the yummy goodie and think of me 'cause I can't eat any yet.

Nervous...

I have a surgery this morning for my gums and I'm really nervous!! So please keep me in your thoughts. I was supposed to go next week but, because of Spring Break I tried to change it and luckily they had a cancellation. Nothing too big or crazy just still nervous..will be back with my original post that I had planned on writing.

Shop 'til I drop...

Will be back with a better and longer post. Going across the border to do some shopping!! Super excited going to hit 3 scrapping stores and Target. LOVE that store!! Hopefully it comes to Canada one day soon!! Have a fab day everyone!!

I am...

on Spring Break!! YAY!! Super excited to be off for the next week and a half!! Tons of stuff I want to do. Will update more soon!! Hugs!!

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!!

daily cards

I have decided that for the month of March I am going to attempt to do the daily cards. This time I think I should be able to do it. Here they are for the 1st and the 2nd.


Hope you all had 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!!

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!!

Happy Love Day!!

Hope your day is sweet!!

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!!
