A Good Deed today?!

What a great day today was ....
First I had the day off.. so immediately upon waking up I am in a good mood !!!
I got my eyebrows waxed, got a haircut ( which I am not sure if she cut it properly until I do my own hair!) but nonetheless, i got it cut.

I went to Micheal's this afternoon and of course I am stacked with 40% off coupons cause I get them by email, ads and friends from work. I stand in line to pay and this gentlemen is buying a corner unit valued at 39.99$ for creating a tv stand. My assumption was that his wife was a scrapbooker but nope, it's a tv stand.
So I ask him, as he gets his credit card out to pay for it... after taxes and such about 47$.
He says he has no coupon. Without hesitation I give him one of mine. I said it's for you to save about 20$!! He was floored! A Very happy man he was and it was a real pleasure for me to give him the coupon. So minor and made such a difference to him.
That's my good deed for the day!

I got a parcel in the mail from a new scrap store i discovered in St. Hubert Quebec.. called Mon Scrapbook ... I needed a few items to complete a project and about 3 days later it's in my mailbox!!! I like that service.


Ok, so have you been drooling over the new CHA stuff coming out? Some i am disappointed in. I must say Pink Paislee ... not what I was hoping for.. too bad! But oh YUMMMY October Afternoon. They have a new blog! Finally after almost a year of stalking their website and wishing they had more to offer... they now do. Take a peek!
and Cosmo Cricket ... oooo those papers looks like so much fun. Can't wait to play with those.

Oh I wish to attend CHA in July. It's in ORLANDO!!!! yup.. so definitely on my bucket list!

Alright, LOST is BACK! Finally ... I can't believe it's been months since the last episode. Steve is going to TIVO this tonight so we can watch it tomorrow without commercials! Nothing that I hate more is watching a fabulous tv show ... and some stupid commercial comes on... So Fast Forward Commercials and enjoy the show or Pause and get Popcorn! LOL!!!

that's it for me tonight.. I am sure I could write more but that's it!
Chow for Now

DT Kits and Winter Pics!

I thought I would change my blog banner and background today ... to something more vibrant than white and blue. So since Valentine's Day is about 1 month away .... a little love theme was in order! This is a picture of hubby and i about 2 years ago. It was taken at about 2am after a bonfire in our backyard.




I got my digital elements here: Sweet Shoppe Designs. My banner is a scraplift from one of the layouts showcased with this collection.



I haven't done any real scrappin in the past few days... I kind of finished a layout but i need a title before i can post! It's coming...

I did get my dt kit for Feb from Scrapbook Sussies. Here is a sneak peek at our kit this month. Can you see some Rusty Pickle in there?!! mmmm can't wait to play!


I also got a few new buttons from My Little Bit Of Whimsy! Stephanie has produced some adorable hearts and flowers for Valentine's Day. Take a peek! These are the cutest buttons I have ever seen. I don't even want to put them on a layout... I just want to keep them in a yummy jar all for me!!! So FUN!



It is a freezing day here in New Brunswick. I think with the wind it's a brisk -30degrees! BRRRRRRRR... Here are a few pics from our backyard about 2 days ago..







Natalie just announced a new class at Creative-Scrappers... click here to get more info!
and of course there is always TONS to do at CS ... so come join us!

Chow for Now!

Kreativ Award!!!

Well it's 830am here. I am on vacation so really nowhere to go. Hubby woke me up early to get ready cause I was gonna go run a few errands for the crop this weekend.. then I looked outside and the roads are a bit icy.. it's blowing snow and a freezing rain warning .. so after a shower and washing my hair etc... I then decide I'm staying home and will do this tomorrow or tonight. So I am ready with no where to go!!

So i figured I would write a blog entry!

My friend Stephie is getting her eyes lasered today. I wish her well and also a speedy recovery!
I think that would scare the beepers out of me. I can't even put contacts in my eyes let alone a metal instrument to shave the first layer of my cornea...YIKES!
{Sending you hugs Stephie!}
