the little things

I disappeared again didn't I??

Yep, I definitely did.  :(

Very quick post today!  I am running out the door in about 20 minutes... but I HAD to some out here and tell you all about my class first!

My very first class ever!  I am soooooo super excited!  You can find all of the details here, and the class starts on MARCH 2ND!!  Crazy quick... and I know I should have done a post about it ages ago!  It is a 4 week class, and we will be doing all sorts of fun sewing projects, learning techniques and having lots of fun fun fun!  There will be a private message board available to only those who register, that in itself should be a blast! heee hee! ;)

It is available for $5.. that is only $1.25 a week!  I promise it will be sooooo worth it!

If you have any questions, ask away!  I will be near my computer all weekend and will do my best to answer asap!  

Heeee!  Can't wait!!  Hope you can join me! :)

Ohhhhhhh!  ALSO, a BIG shout out to everyone who linked over from Today's Creative Blog!  Hellooooo!! :)

playing catch up again...

Man oh man... I feel like I am always playing catch up these days!  I must change that... for my own sanity! lol  No more.  From now on, I am going to be on top of things and maybe ...just maybe ahead of the game a little bit!? ha!  We have a 4 day long weekend here... so I am giving myself the weekend to change my ways... and I am going to start the week with a fresh start!  Yep yep yep!  Schedule... here we come!  I have avoided making myself a schedule a all costs... I like to go with the flow too much.  But, gosh darn it, I need one!  A very flexible one mind you! hee heee! ;)

So, since I am playing catch up... here are my 365 photos.. all caught up!  Except for today of course. :)

This one, is my newest 'toy' ..I loooooove it!  I call it my 'vers baby' ..it is a Vers iPod dock ...and it is pretty. heee!  I haven't had an iPod dock before, I wanted one that would 'blend' ...not an easy thing when it comes to electronics! lol  Then I saw this one.  I knew I needed it.  To top it all off, the sound quality is A-MAZING!  I have it on all of the time!  The only problem now is.. I forget my iPod in the house whenever we go somewhere! ha!  I am so sooooo getting the alarm clock like it.. someday, maybe. :)   31/365

This next one sorta cracks me up.  The lengths one will go to, to get their hands on a Starbucks huh?  Is it bad that he isn't even 2 yet? ha ha!  No, I didn't let him sit there and drink the coffee... just long enough to snap a picture.. and I think it was too thick for him to even get any out.  What a little fart huh?  I guess he thought it was worth the trip to the top of the table.. 32/365

I sooo can't wait till day light lasts into the evening!  I am sick of bad lighting! lol  Notice the car on the floor.. I get a kick out of that too, they are never too far away.  Ever.

Don't you love days where there is nothing on your plate except creating?  They don't happen often enough anymore... but I sure do love it when they do!  I think I need more storage... those shelves are getting pretty stuffed! lol  33/365

Little Miss Molly in one of her all time favourite spots.  I found a friend for Molly yesterday.. at the pet health food store, kittens up for adoption... running free around the store.. oh my goodness.. I think she needs a friend, don't you?  My mom calls me a pet 'hoarder' ...I say that is what happens when you don't have pets as a child.. ha!  I know I know.. we really can NOT have another pet, but oh my gosh, they were pretty darn cute!  OK.. but this is about Molly... and she is such a good cat for my kiddos, they love her so so so much. :)  34/365

My poor sick girl... bunked up with me the other night.  I need my babies close when they aren't feeling well. :(  She was finally back to school today!  35/365

I spring here yet?  The boots are waiting... ever so patiently. :)  Picked these up for the kids yesterday.  Harley's first ever pair of rubber boots! hee heee!  ..and they are still a bit too big! lol  36/365

Now I want a cute pair of polka dot boots!  Must find some! hee heee!

Later! :)

Here, There and Eveeeerywheeeeeere! :)

I am so excited to share this with you!  Shimelle's totally fabulous, awesome album class!  I am sure you have heard about how great her album classes are, and this one is definitely no exception!  Check it out here! 

Garden Girl's Kelli Crowe and Nichol Magouirk (and me of course heee!) are playing along and making our own sample albums for the class.  I am so excited, and I am soooooo enjoying this album!  

Here are a few sneaky sneaks from my album...

Yep... I cloned out the 'destinations' in my journaling... better safe than sorry right? ;)  The concept of the album is absolutely brilliant.  You really must check it out... especially if you are a dreamer like me! :)  Someday I will get to experience the 'eveeeerywheeeeere' part! heee!  

As I was brainstorming for the album, and beginning at the 'here' while dreaming about the 'everywhere' ...I have a whole new appreciation for 'here' ...did that make sense?  The simple little things that make our days full, and our home a home.  I am totally loving this album!  Can't wait to share more! ;)

The workshop starts up on the 15th, and there are all sorts of cool benefits ...it is a gooder! ;)

Better go for now, 2 sick kiddos today.  Started with just Laine (stayed home from school) then Harley woke up shortly after I put him to bed.. screeaaaaaming.. I think I need as much sleep as I can get... tomorrow has the potential to be a very very long day! 

some chalkboard love... 30/365

Miss Laine drawing a valentine on the chalkboard... this is a flying valentine.. wings and everything!  So cute! heee!

I love this chalkboard... like really really love it.  I think it is one of my favourite (and probably cheapest) things that I have added to the house.  I love the drawings she leaves me.  Looove them.  They make me smile each and every time I walk by... and she loves drawing on it.. what can be better than that!?  Win win for sure!  Of course Harley loves it too... doesn't take him long to get his hands in there and grub it up! ha ha!  That's when we wipe it clean and start all over again! :)

Some layout shares and such... :)

Time is flying by like crazy lately!  I am having a hard time keeping track of what is 'out there' and what isn't! lol  I can't believe that it is already February 5th!  That means the first of the month garden is up at 2 Peas!  I loove first of the month gardens! But seriously, February 5th?  Wasn't it just Christmas? lol  I guess it is ok that time is flying by right now, better than it draggin'! heee!

This one was a fun one... pulled out a bunch of random stuff to do the LOTD using Doodlebug Braddies... looove those!  I am soo lovin' the woodgrain stickers by Sassafras! 

Some themers... celebrating 2 Peas 10th Birthday!  How awesome is THAT!?  This first one was my love for large photos.. spanning across the whole page, that idea was soooo outside my little box when I first discovered 2 Peas, been in love with the idea (and use it regularly!) ever since!  I used this fantastic digi kit... Sweet Notions.  Yum!

This one was inspired by the one and only, very talented and super inspiring Shelley Laming... I remember falling in love with her layouts right away too, the way she uses patterned paper and colour.. in small amounts to make a big impact... yep, changed the way I scrapbook!  ...and her trademark kraft cardstock, she does it like no other!  She is such a huge part of what 2 Peas is to me! :)

This next one I did for Shimelle's 'something large' challenge... again, with the large photo! heeee!

For the KI Memories 'focus on thank you'... some cards!

Speaking of 'focus on' ...I better get going so I get a layout done for this weeks!  Time is already flying by today!  Crazy how that happens hey?  Sit down at the computer to do something quick, and before you know it, 2 hours have gone by!  Ack!

Later! :)

long time no blog!? 365 catch up...

Been awhile huh!?  Life has been crazy busy lately!  Laine's skating carnival is coming up and for some odd reason I can't seem to keep my hand down when it comes to volunteering!  So costume planning it is! ha!  Oh well, it has definitely been a journey so far! heee!

A quick (but long ...sorry!) catch up on 365...

29/365 ...sometimes this is the perfect end to a day.  Crawling into bed with the laptop for some mindless internet surfing and TV watching.  That was me last night. :)

 

28/365 ...definitely not a 'technically perfect photo' ..but I like it.  I think because my kids are enjoying some quiet time before bed... a wonderful thing! lol  I looove how Harley isn't actually reading his book, but driving a car over it instead.  Such a boy. lol

27/365 ...caught a glimpse of Laine playing as I was walking past her room the other day, had to grab my camera!  She doesn't play like this all that much anymore... and I sooooo love it when she does!

26/365 ...one of his favouritest things in the whole wide world.  Tub time.

25/365 ...oh my goodness, another backseat picture! lol  We have been doing a lot of road trips lately! heee!  This one makes me laugh, Laine is trying her hardest to get in the shot.. cause apparently I can't hold the camera backwards and aim very well! hee!  Harley is totally tuned into the movie (Cars of course) that is playing on the back of my seat.  My back window is crazy dirty... yuck.  Notice the cargo net?  Well, that isn't really supposed to go like that, but it was my attempt at keeping Piper in the back... soooo did not work like I hoped. ha!

24/365 ...my project for the KI Focus On Home Decor.  Embellished bulletin board. :)

What else is new?  Hmmm!  Today was my first 'do nothing' day in way too long... although, I do have to go to a meeting tonight, so I guess it hardly counts... oh well, I haven't had to get out of my jammie bottoms yet.. good enough for me! hee heee!

Been so long, I have some layout shares too!  But I will save those for another post.. this one is pretty photo heavy as it is! lol  I'll be back tomorrow, as a better blogger.  I think my brain is on vacation for my 'do nothing' day.  heee!

Oh, and here is the link to my flickr gallery... cause for some odd reason I don't have the link in my sidebar anymore!  Ooops!  I'll have to add it again. :)

Later!
