Strutting My Stuff on the Catwalk...

YAY!! I was chosen again on SIS for my wedding page "That's All." The one I posted about a couple of posts before. Totally made my day!! Gives you a boost of confidence. Go check me out. Right over
here. I am going to go and relax on the couch, I think I'm coming down with something not feeling too hot!!

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!!

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!!

I Fall...

More and more in love with this man.

Not only did my wonderful husband help with making all the food for my Open House yesterday. But he completely surprised me with tickets to see Michael Buble's sold out concert!! And his reason he said was because he is proud of me with everything I am doing with work and scrapbooking. He melted my heart. And he also made me a card. I love him so, and I am so very lucky!! More to come soon!!

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!!

Happy New Year!!

Wanted to wish all of you my friends a very happy new year!! Sorry for the lack of blogging but, I have been enjoying my winter break quite a bit. Lots of time with my hubby, always good, a little bit of scrapping, lots of cleaning and organizing and time with family and friends!! Just relaxing!! I hope you all had a very good Christmas too!! One of my resolutions for the year to try and write more here, going to try to do that!! Happy 2008!!

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!!

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!!

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!!

Oh Happy Day!!

I made it on the catwalk at SIS and I cannot stop smiling!! These are the pages:



I just called Jared at work to tell him!! I swear I thought I was going to cry!! So happy!! Thanks Brandy for the heads up!!
Check me out here
Have a fabulous tuesday!!

The last few weeks...

Life has been so busy this month!! With work, school and play I haven't really had a chance to update!! That and I have been a little lazy!! We celebrated Jared's 30th birthday this month, and my SU business has been doing really well this month that and I haven't really had a chance to scrap except maybe once and I am in complete withdrawal!!

Anyways back to Jared. Yes my hubby is 30, it's hard to believe that he is 30 already and I am not too far behind either!! But I threw him a surprise party for his bday and he was completely surprised!! I totally got him, he was in complete shock that when he walked in he walked out a couple of seconds after just to take everything in!! It was too funny and I was all worried when it happened 'cause I was thinking..what did I do?! But he was okay. I think more surprised with everybody there and the fact that his wife was sneaky..hehehe!! Here are some pics:










I planned the party a week before his actual bday and it was so hard to come up with a story for him to actually come home!! He was told that his brother's girlfriend was throwing a surprise party for him, their bdays are actually a week apart, it worked out well except that he was hard to get him to come home, he called me on the phone and told me that he was running late and that he was going to just meet me at his brother's place so, he wouldn't ruin the surprise and he was pretty insistent until finally his co-worker kept bugging him that he couldn't go to his brother's party all stinky and that he should go home and shower...his co-worker was helping me out and Jared listened to him and he came home..phew!! It was tons of fun!! Lots of food and drinks, good times!!

For Jared's actual birthday it was over a long weekend and it was just the two of us, made him Sheperd's pie, very good and we had cupcakes!!




So, that's it!! Lots of other stuff going on..deciding about things and figuring things out. Will just have to see what happens!! But that's it for now!! I will post again soon...happy weekend!!

The lack of blogging

Got Scrappy!!

The rest of my long weekend was really good. Very relaxing and low key. One bummer though I didn't get to see too much of Jared he was busy working and playing soccer. Good for him but, it sucks too. Hopefully during the rest of the week or this coming weekend!! Did do lots of scrapping though so, that' good!!

I actually tried the OLW and Scrapjacked challenges, totally love how they turned out too!!




Sorry about the dark scan..and the rest of the scrappies!!



Hope everyone had a good weekend!!

Love it!!

It's been a good pro-d day so far!! Just got my hair done and I love it!! The length is shorter and I put in some brown highlights so, it may be hard to see in the pics!! I had a bit of a modeling session!!






Which picture do you like the best?! Or are they all too similar?! Want to change my profile pic on my profile..let me know!!

And now for the rest of the day..some organizing, cleaning, scrapping and listening to some music!! Just downloading some music too..any suggestions, what are you listening to reight now?!

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!!

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!!
