Oh Deer!

Hello my fellow blog readers!

Well... let's see how my day started today...

It's 720 am.. the alarm goes off for Steve to get ready for work. ( he works at 1030am...??? what's up with that.. anyway... after pressing the snooze button the car alarm goes off... not sure who's it was but it stopped.. I think it was the neighbors - but not sure .. at the same time the car is beeping our phone rings.... Steve answers .. but no answer... Hung up the phone.. so we 're up... a little early i might add!
Steve goes to the kitchen to start ironing his dress shirt ( i don't iron! ) and i look outside and 4 deer are standing in our garden chewing on our new growth !!!! BLAH!!!!! they are nice to look at... so of course .. me I grab the camera .. steve grabs Eddie not to go outside , since i have the patio door open.. and Click! Picture for me! LOL....

One of the deer had a really sore leg. It was limping pretty bad and couldn't run. It probably got hurt running away or something earlier in the week. So sad sometimes... I feel helpless wanting to give them food or something...
So My father emails me ... .tells me we should charge admission for our Backyard ZOO! oh my...

This is a picture i took of Eddie the other night on my scrapbook table. How cute is he??? I love it when he sleeps next to me. I know it's not good to be on the table... yada yada yada... but he's so warm and fuzzy!

Well, it's National Scrapbooking Day Tomorrow.... WOOT WOOT! I have a few things planned as long as Steve watches the Hockey Game Tomorrow night! Oh...My Sat nights scrappin are coming to an end real soon so I better enjoy the last of them till next September!

I have a class project lined up! YOUPEEEE! It's been quite a few months since I last hosted a class.. I have purchased the new Pink Paislee papers - Spring Fling Collection --->> look how yummy those are!

I am working on the project right now and will post a sneak peek for you soon!

Have a great Scrappy Weekend!

PageMaps

WOOOHOOO ! I was a designer chosen for the May 2008 Page Maps Newsletter this month! How exciting!!!
This is the sketch Becky emailed me about 3 weeks ago...


As many of you know... I have a hard time scrapping with lots of photos... so this was a great challenge for me. I had pictures of Marissa from last summer that I hadn't scrapped and the new papers from Crate Paper matched perfectly for these pics and layout too!

If you are interested in having a layout posted in page maps check out the http://www.pagemaps.com/ Site and click on newsletter info... send in your gallery link and info to Becky and you might be a chosen one!

This is the layout that was created with the sketch.

SO, I have a little blog contest for you!
>>> Visit the Creative Scrappers blog for more info! <<<

Talk to you later

Hello! It's been a while!
i've been busy at work the past few days.... a bit crazy actually. It's been a great week so far.. kind of! I have lots to share with you ... so let's get started!

We have Raccoons in our shed! HELP! Steve found a mother raccoon in there yesterday with her newborn babies.... oh my. We were told NOT to touch or try to move them as she might attack us... like i will go anywhere near her! Yikes... but Eddie our cat LOVES the outdoors and we can't let him out cause we love him dearly. So.. we called Animal Control and they will get them out for us
.
Third... I got to chat with an old friend of mine yesterday. She is a travel agent and called our call centre and I answered! what a coincidence cause i was thinking of her just a few days ago! She is into selling Epicure Selections Products which are really popular in Canada and loved by many who love to cook, drink, or just enjoy good food in general. These are spices and mixes... etc... yes, she's convinced me to join her group! SO yes, i will be selling EPICURE products! I don't know if i will be going door to door to sell stuff... or home parties, but i will certainly have a catalog with me and of course can mail you one if you want one!
this is the main website... http://www.epicureselections.com/
YOUPEEEEEEEE ... Steve loves to cook ... so i tought this would be a great way for him to get even more into it !!! and cook more for me!!! HEE!!!!

what else is new.. um.... well i am planning on having a class in the next few weeks. It will be an album.. but i can't say yet. Products are being ordered this weekend and I will post a sneak peak for you shortly. I assume the first class will be on .... WOW it's May 1st Tomorrow .... hee... anyway.. first class to be the last week of May ... 27-28-29 .. one of those days... So if you are interested in attending send me a quick email!
don't worry .. more info will follow shortly!


I will chat with you again soon!

Tax Time and Fun Time!

Blah... yes, it's Tax Time! I just finished doing steve's and my taxes tonight. How fun! I think I have been trying to submit my file online for the past 20 minutes. This site is soooooo busy right now. Everyone meeting deadlines. I don't like tax time... maybe if we had kids or put in a gazillion dollars in RRSPs we would get huge refunds... but We dont!

So busy at work today. People are waiting about 15 minutes to get thru to an agent at our call centre. Talking for 8 hours a day certainly doesn't do any good to someone with TMJ! Blah... but it certainly makes the time go by fast!

I got MAIL today! WOO HOO!! yup.. my goodie box from 2 peas in a bucket arrived today. I got the new papers from Pink Paislee ... OMG! Scrapgasm indeed! It's beautiful! It's amazing ... it's WONDERFUL! LOL!!!! yes. i am excited! It's single sided but the colors are so beautiful and the texture... yes... like basic grey! I can't wait to scrap some pages with these papers.... probably Wednesday night!

aren't these yummy? Visit Pink Paislee !!!

Well, I finally finished my layout for the PageMaps Newsletter to go out on Thursday! Yes.. I will be featured in the May issue of Page Maps. Very exciting! I used some yummy Crate Papers and some fun Scenic Route Butterfly Chipboards! Did you know you can email Becky and let her know that you'd love to participate in her newsletter? Yup... check out her site at www.pagemaps.com and search under contact us for more info!

well, yes... can you tell that I love to change my banner !??!? YES i do!!!! I love it.. i am enjoying creating these banners from www.shabbyshoppe.com they are so easy to do! They are already premade and all you need to do is open up your file in some photo editing software and add your name! FUN FUN FUN!

that's all for now!

Good Sunday Morning to you !

What a beautiful sunny day it is again today!
Steve and I got a new vehicle! WOOOHOOOO.... so excited and so overdue. So hopefully today we can go for a nice little ride and I am so craving Dairy Queen Ice Cream! HAHAH What surprise!

So i am getting pretty excited about this new venture for Creative Scrappers blog. It certainly looks promising with quite a few interested scrapbookers. Please, if you would love to join us for even a guest spot... don't be shy to email me!

I haven't done a scrap layout at all this weekend .. yet. I had to work yesterday and it was really busy at the call centre so no mojo for me last night. Hopefully tonight a little bit but Big Brother Finale is on ... GO RYAN !!!! i hope he wins... he's been a great player. Also Desperate Housewives is on tonight... but i am getting really bored with this show are you? do you watch? I hope things pick up a bit cause it might be a show that i no longer watch.

I am on vacation this week.. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO Off for 2 1/2 weeks. I can't wait. Steve and I will be doing some gardening and cleaning up in the house. We are planning a yard sale sometime in May. I think the 17th right now.. I will post for you in case you are in the area! But i have tons of clothes, tv, steve's stuff, and a few misc household things... time to clean up in here!

That's all I really have to report right now!
Talk again Soon!
