I Love Sundays!

Aren't Sundays nice?! Don't you just love relaxing lazy Sundays !? I do!!!
I went to bed pretty late last night ... busy playing around doing nothing and before I realized it... 2am was the time on the clock! I woke up today a bit later than I usually do on Sundays. Going to bed later than my regular schedule is really messing me up! I woke up at .... oh i don't think i can put that on my blog.... cause um.. it was late!

Steve and i went for a little drive today ... stopping at Micheals, the liquor store, the dollar store and the candy store! In that order!!! LOL... I was shocked when I went to Micheals today! I picked up another paper trimmer... number 4! I really love this paper trimmer although Making Memories has had a hard time with them .. not cutting straight or something - but I Love it! I had a 50% off coupon and had to use it on something worth it... Eddie usually sleeps on this paper trimmer in the winter time under my 100watt light bulbs!
and....... at Micheals ... I found Making Memories Passport collection!!!! Everything ... a bit pricey but with a 40% off coupon it would be really cheap! they had paper packs, individual papers ( 1.19 ) and stickers ... ya.. i had this collection hidden in my paper stash but i did get rubons!
and..... there is more! Did you know Micheals now carries BAZZILL Cardstock !?!?!?! ya.. that's what i said... WHAT"!!! i was gonna go bonkers and get a ton of it until I looked at the price.... 1.19$ a sheet!!! that's not even funny. Considering you can purchase cardstock at probably .24cents a sheet wholesale! Who does that ... why would they charge like a 100% markup!? Anyway I am waiting for their Cardstock sale ... buy 3 / 1.00$ ... maybe soon! But yes,, they had probably over 75 colors! I am guessing... maybe more!

So, um.. .thanks for the comments on my blog banner ladies! Yes, i love blog banners and i love changing them too!!! LOL .... they are so much fun to make ... and i get bored with the same colors on my blog... so yes.. i will keep changing them!

I just finished cleaning my scrap room ... and i have so much stuff .. STUFF!!!

Anyhow! ... that's all for now!
Time to clean up the bathroom, get supper, and watch Big Brother tonight! It's almost the end... who will win???! DAN ???? MEMPHIS!?!??!

have a good Sunday Night!

It's Saaaaaturday Night and I'm Venting!

Yes, Finally .... it's Saturday Night!!!!
Do you know what that means ???! It's time to relax! It's been a long week here at the Davidson's and finally I can sit down and maybe watch a movie with hubby ... maybe! and also scrapbook till about 1am ! That would be nice. It's the night that hubby makes a huge feast of Nachos.... they are AMAZING! i will take a picture for you tonight ... he'll like that !! LOL!!! and ...

I got a box of goodies on Thursday! YOUPEEEEE!!! Time to start working on the Creative Scrappers October Kit and finish the weight loss journal kit as well... the weight loss one, ...is ADORABLE! Not only because I made it ( heee!!!! ) but it's sooo cute and fits in your purse too! I have tons of pages included in this little album and can't wait to have it completed tonight.
Don't you love getting fresh new scrap supplies ?? I " love " it! I really do. It's like Christmas morning when I open a box full of scrap goodies ... the ideas and inspiration from new products just oozes out of me! hahha!!! So .. i better have a few hours to scrap tonight and I hope it pours rain on Sunday so i can justify being lazy !

Ok, a little bit about some dos and donts when calling an airline reservation agent ...
mm... yes. after a long week .. i need to vent!

Number 1 --- if you've had a long wait on hold ... chances are we are busy ... we know how long you have been on hold so you don't need to tell us!

Number 2 --- if you see a cheap ticket price on the web ... BOOK IT! It probably won't be there tomorrow!

Number 3 --- If you call and immediately start complaining, we are probably not gonna bend over to help you ...

Number 4 ... If you call us for a last minute " deal " it's probably not gonna happen, book in advance during a seat sale ... to find out about seat sales .. .sign up for the airline's newsletter and be the first to know!

Number 5 --- Read the Rules of your ticket! Don't choose to save 3$ for something such as " No Changes, No Cancellations! " it's not a savings if you get stuck in traffic and miss your flight!

Number 6 --- yes, we always have seat sales! If we don't have a cheap ticket on the date you wanna travel ask for the first available date at the lowest price! .... Flights are often on sale for late night travel or early morning travel ... and weekdays!

Number 7 --- Not all seats are sold at the same price. When inventory on the aircraft is limited... the price of the ticket increases! Example, even if you paid 99.00$ for your ticket ... the person sitting behind you might have paid 1700.00$.

Number 8 - Start booking travel for Christmas now! Prices will probably increase if the price of fuel increases!

Number 9 --- Get Seat Selection on busy routes and busy times of year... you will be less likely to get bumped! Remember that most airlines will offer you a " voucher " of some kind if you do accept to be bumped... TAKE IT! you could get a free ticket just by taking a flight 1 hour / 2 hours later!

Number 10 --- Enrol in a frequent flyer program and accumulate points with the airline you travel with the most ... you can get a free flight or free products with your points!

Shop Around! Expedia.ca / .com is a great place to start shopping for fares!

For the Canadian Travellers... as much as i don't want to send you to other carriers .... travelling 1 hour or 2 hours to travel from the USA could save you hundreds of dollars... saves you paying GST / HST / and also Customs/ Immigration Taxes.

ok... that's my venting for today!


Time to go make believe I want to help honey prepare some Nachos!!! He's cutting up onions... YUCK!
talk soon!

Survived my Late Shift!

Well, I survived my 530pm shift and even finished without leaving early! Leaving work at 2am was a bit scarry since I hate driving at night. I seem to see things that aren't really there... no ghost or anything LOL but shadows.. ya! I see shadows!! LOL!

Well the town came and put in a few " Rocks " in our front yard. I don't think it looks good at all. It just seems like some low budget fix up. It would have been nice of the town to actually put in topsoil and even seed it for grass next sprint you know... but they didn't! I think Steve will be seeing the town Mayor to discuss a few things and I am pretty sure our other neighbors aren't happy with the fix up either...

So Ms Natalie Roy will be teaching a technique class at Creative-Scrappers starting Sep 20th! If you've seen her work and are wondering " how did she do that ? " Natalie will teach you how! I have seen the first lesson and already I am amazed! No Supplies need to be purchased ... you use your own and only a small fee per person is asked for 2 prizes and natalie's time.
you can register today ... and also get more info in our forum!



I have no scrappy news to share with you today .... other than it's Fall and it's Scrap time!

talk soon

It's Friday & A few Banners

Finally the weekend, although it feels like i've been on a permanent weekend for 2 weeks! I could so do this vacation thing every month! Imagine... I could work 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off!!! Wouldn't that be nice.

I am relaxing today, hopefully going to play with my scrap supplies this weekend. I got some new American Crafts goodies and also Pink Paislee is calling my name. I wish I had some mojo during the day ... but it seems to creep up on my at about 10pm ish!

Steve isn't feeling well today, he is on antibiotics for an infection and it's making him a little weezy. I hope he is feeling better soon. Poor man, he's on vacation this week and he's had nothing but phone calls from work, and stress ... hopefully the weekend will be better. he's actually in bed right now at 530pm !

Well I start my new 530pm shift on Monday. Ask me if i am happy? ... NOPE! But .. a positive way to look at it, - i have all day to play, clean house, watch Oprah, go to work where no managers are there, hopefully a bit quieter than day time ... and that's about all the positive about it! It's for 2 months ... so we shall see after the first 2 days how i feel about it! haha!!!
oh well...

nothing new to showcase today in the scrap world.. only a few fun blog banners! I am soooo having fun creating these.. take a peek at a few new ones!

the first one is for me, i got these awesome digtal elements at www.digitalcandy.ca I love that store... they have awesome digital kits and i am hooked on them !


this second one is for my friend Stephanie ... the cat on the left of this banner is a picture she painted... isn't it AMAZING! I love it... she is actually doing a little painting of Eddie ( my cat ) right now and I can't wait to see it! take a peek at her " new " blog ... I am sure it will be a colorful and cheery read for you!

Another Day... another Mini Album!

It's almost Wednesday... which means PAYDAY! WOOHOOO!!!! ... you wouldn't believe how bad we need groceries!!! I hate buying groceries now cause it seems that I always buy the same thing ... over and over again... rice, fish, peas, hamburg, lettuce, tomatoes... blah. i am bored! So, I am letting Steve my DH buy the groceries this week. I think if it was just me .. i would buy Ice Cream, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Juice, Bagels, and ... um.. I could probably live on that for a week or so! LOL! .. oh seriously... I think I am eating enough sugar the past few months to make up for the sugar i didn't have when i was growing up!



Mom and Dad always "protected" our eating habits making sure we had all our fruits and veggies, milk ... good cereals and well... now... i think it's time for be to be a Sugar Eating Adult! Maybe I have issues... wait a minute.. I know I have issues .. but how do i stop from eating this sugar all the time! I know.. don't buy it as my father would say.. but ... I CAN"T help it! I really want that taste... are there any veggies out there that have a ..." sweet " taste other than sweet potatoes!???



So yes, I am still on vacation.... only a few days left then back to reality... Steve was suppose to be off with me but do to an emergency with a coworker he was called in to work sat and tues... so hopefully he can get some time off this week with NO PHONE CALLS from the office.... HINT!!! HINT!!!


This is the layout I completed for Creative-Scrappers DT Reveal this past Sunday! I love the Daisy Bucket papers I used here.. so fun and great colors too! The pictures of miss Marissa were PERFECT for this sketch ... and of course the colors !
