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!!

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!!
