Day Before Payday!

I had no idea what to call this post so i called it the day before payday! my husband's payday .. but in a way it's my payday too !! HAHA!!

so .. today was a relaxing day - I watched America's Next Top Model.. do you watch? It's so crazy ... and fun to see these girls just digging into each other.
I must say that I am not happy that Mr. James is OUT of Big Brother.. BOOOOOOO... I liked him and really wanted him to stay last night.
now... Natalie needs to go! <<>

So I picked up a little round album at Micheals today... it's sooooo cute. They are coasters made of chipboard and 1$ <<<<>
my scrap friend Elodie has a few layouts with butterflies.... and I love them.

Oh my word! So last night I was driving around town.. at about 830pm running errands and my car lights ........ went off! I turned the high beams on and I HAVE NO LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and my Reverse lights ... NOT WORKING! oh my.. We so need a new vehicle. SO now ... we have to find out what the heck is going wrong and put more money into it...
i keep hoping that I win that MATRIX car from Tim's HOrton's ROLL UP THE RIM contest !!! HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

on that note...
have a good night!

My Life...

Oh no! This could be a serious post... or maybe not! I do have a layout to share that took me about 10 minutes to complete ! That's record time for me... and I even like it! HAA!

On another note,

Have you even sat down on your living room sofa and looked outside for minutes but what seemed for hours? Just thinking about life and what you are doing with your life right now? Well.. i had that opportunity.

I have decided, after some serious thinking, that it's time for me to let go of a few responsibilities at Paws On Scrapbooking.
I am in love with the company, Janique and everyone I have met over the past 2 years. Although I have neglected a few thing in the past few months, and year or so and most of all I have neglected myself.
It's time for me to sit back and maybe concentrate on my life for a little while until things get back to "normal" and my weight being one of them!!!
I am not sure which responsibilities I will let go at Paws as I still have some thinking to do. I hope the Pawsie girls will still love me !!!

It's the 1 hour sketch challenge at paws so I am off to play!

oh yes... I almost forgot ...

*¨¨*:•.•:*¨¨* HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER!!! *¨¨*:•.•:*¨¨*

Spring is Here!

Youpeee!!!! Spring is here! Steve actually put our Adhirondak chairs in there " spots " yesterday. We sat outside for about 1 hour with our Coronas and sat out again today. The sun was shinning and it was soooo nice. Eddie went out to play and enjoyed himself sniffing our shrubs and finding his - Scratch post! Thank goodness cause i noticed tonight he's been beating the crap out of our sofa and love seat! GRRR!

Tonight, I hope to scrapbook a little bit, i have a class that I want to get ready for the month of May.. i think it will be a Mixed Media Memory Book. This will include tons of fun things and many chipboard shapes!
Stay tuned.. I also got a new Acrylic Album kit from the Button Farm and I hope to play with that this weekend. Included in this kit is some yummy Making Memories 5th Ave. Papers... YUMMY!!!

ok.... i have to ask you something funny - but yet embarassing ( HEE!! )
Have you even sneezed and farted at the same time?! I can tell you that I have! It's soooooooo funny and something you really can't share with anyone other than a close friend or family member when it does happen! But I just wanted to write this down for some reason! hahahah!!

I ordered Eddie's new pet tags today. He has one right now but I think a new one will be nicer on his collar! I got a little silver kitty with his name and address on it.. so cute! Visit http://www.luckypet.com/ for your pet tags! They are pretty reasonably priced and last forever! Eddie will also be going for his yearly vaccine and rabies shot on Friday. He won't be happy with me cause he HATES being in the car and a cage for that matter. He's been traumatized since his tail was removed. He hates the vet! Poor kitty!
But it's for his own well being and I have to do that for him.


Anyhow... here's a photo to share with you!

Have a good night! Big Brother is on tonight!!!

Super Sunday!

Why it's Super Sunday you ask? .. I don't know! Maybe cause the sun was out today and it felt soooo nice to drive around with the windows down!
I worked today.... I don't work many Sundays but I did work today, and i SURVIVED! yes... i have issues working on Sundays. I love sleeping in - scrapbooking a bit, enjoying the day with my hubby and relaxing.
Steve was able to enjoy the day and play with Eddie the cat going in and out of the house.

Well today i was taking calls at work and I had the opportunity to talk to the father of an Olympic Athlete! How exciting... I can't say the name for security reasons... but it was really nice!

OH MY! ... Tonight around 7pm I was in my scrapbook room and just out the corner of my eye I looked out my window and My Friends were outside... yes... they were standing in our garden trying to have a bit of our greenery! I yelled to Steve to come and take a look and grabbed my camera so fast... this is a pic ...

It was nice to see them but then again both Steve and I were a little scared they would eat our perennials and dappled willow. They saw me clicking like crazy in the window and left.... to the neighbors! Now... on my wish list is a new ZOOM lens... yes 300mm would be nice! ( grin )

I have no projects to share today... I did finish my little altered album using Cosmo Cricket's blackboard... I made this album for my hubby... the big kid! I will be able to show you on the 15th of April! Our Paws Reveal day.
I do have some good news <<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Becky Fleck from http://www.pagemaps.com/ emailed me today to see if i would be interested in a doing a layout for one of her sketches and to be posted on her site and monthly newsletter! YOUPEE!!! I had put my name in a few months ago and totally forgot about this... but my turn has come! YOUPEE! that's exciting!

I also sold 5 Scrap Kits this weekend... WOOHOOO thanks to some wonderful ladies who love a good bargain and love to scrap! I have a few paper packs left if you want some.. hurry!!!

It's Big Brother tonight... we are recording it right now so we can fast forward thru the commercials ahahah!!! Anyhow... that's it for today
- i hope you have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by!

It's the weekend!

yes, it's the weekend!
I am actually working this Sat and Sun 9-530pm on both days. I haven't worked a Sunday is quite some time. I am trying to keep a " positive " attitude about it and get it over with too!

Well today, i got the 'let's go somewhere ' bug. I called Steve at work today and asked him to take a week's vacation in May! YOUPEEE!!!
So both of us are off work and maybe..just maybe we can get to go on some little vacation in the south. At this time --- Oasis Cancun where we went on our honeymoon .. the only reason why we'd love to go back.. the beach, the drinks and the price! ALL Inclusive .. 850$ for the week! WOOHOO!!

I have 2 tickets from Air Canada that I have to use before August 31 of this year.. so we might as well use them.

I was on a roll today - I finished 2 layouts of the girls and 1 little mini album that i haven't taken pictures of yet. I am thinking of just mass producing some projects and selling them at some craft / flea market in May. I am not sure if the stuff would sell but certainly worth a try! I have wayyyyyy too many projects and supplies sitting here collecting dust .. so i have to use them!

Here are my layouts from today..

one is my sister Kim and Marissa - with lyrics from the song from Martina McBride-- In My Daughter's Eyes..

This next layout is of little Miss Marissa again.... can you tell I love my nieces!!!?

well, that's about it for today... time for bed...
I work in the am!
Have a great weekend!!!

I forgot to show you this layout of little Miss Megan!

Her 1st Birthday ( Feb 26 2008 )

A Chainsaw?!

Howdy readers!

Well it's Thursday ... it's been an ok week so far. I think i am drained from the winter weather.... SPRING .. PLEASE COME!!! and yes, we NEED A VACATION to some HOT Spot that serves drinks with fun umbrellas!

So, I gave up on Diet Pepsi about 8 weeks or so ago... and today... I bought a can !!!!!! WOW... now i am bloated again... so i really don't miss it. I guess I just had some craving for a fizzy drink! ( i did have one in Toronto but it was fountain pop.. that doesn't count! )

I bought a new bag from All My Memories Vituri Line in Toronto for my scrap stuff... or work stuff or laptop ..

The one i got is brown.. It's soooooo nice! I love it. That was one of my yummy purchases...

I wanted to tell you something else .. but i forgot! LOL!

Oh yeah...
today... i was sitting in my scrap room and heard this chainsaw... I was like what the heck.. who's cutting down trees... We have nice trees that surround our home and give us privacy from our neighbors - not that we dislike our neighbors ( wink! ) but just want some privacy.
Anyway, I look out the front window and these 2 guys are cutting down trees in our front yard. On our property with a chainsaw and axe... um..... hello!
So me.. in my jammies and no bra on.. put my winter jacket on and go outside... I say " hello boys! " what's going on here!
well the guy had maybe 1 tooth and looked at me and said.. " um.. cutting trees". It was for the power company cause some of our trees were close to the power lines. SO I said... it would have been nice to be notified such as a knock on the door or a letter in the mail.. telling us someone was going to trim trees in our front yard.

Anyway.. i wasn't happy.. they guys appologized and kept cutting. They only cut a few trees and lots of branches.
One good thing about that is ... when the sun goes down we have more sunlight in our bedroom and living room! LOL!!! I guess I am over it!

that's my excitment for today...

thanks for reading!

Felling Looooooo

Hello readers!

yes, it's been a few days since I last posted - so sorry. I got home Safe and Sound on Friday at about 5pm .. i relaxed with Steve on Sat and Sunday I Slept ALL day... I was pooped. Travelling, Scrappin, Meetings, classes... lack of sleep ... all came down on me on Sunday. I did manage to scrap 2 layouts on Saturday Night with the new Crate Papers -- that was so nice! I missed Crate.





My classes in Toronto were amazing ... I had so much fun in the Cosmo Cricket class with Julie Comstock and Lindsay - they laughed for 1 hr 30min and made it so fun... we talked about JON the warehouse guy... so funny!
Also had a great time learning in the Scenic Route Class with Layle Koncar. She is a real inspiration and a wealth of knowledge for the scrapbooking industry. A great person!
Also met Vicki Boutin at the warehouse, her work is amazing. She love people and loves this industry as well - a great personality! I would love for her to come and chat with us at Paws Online sometime soon...maybe sooner than later!

ON another note, I am still feeling a bit under the weather! This rain and crappy winter weather is really putting a damper on my psychiatric self! I need SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!
It doesn't help that the DR. has changed my Medication 2 weeks ago and my body is still trying to cope. So I am a little bitch at times ... poor Steve - i've been a bit hard on him but atleast he's being supportive about it while I wonder what the hell is going on with my brain! blahhhhhhhh!!!

Other than that... products galore have arrived at Paws, and Janique has been working like crazy trying to organize the store. I have been working online adding prices and quantites to items - so many nice things... it's hard to control spending ... but i have to! I already have way too much stuff. I still have papers for sale as previously posted so don't be shy if you want something!

that's pretty much it for now, I will write a bit later...
