Snacks and Sneaks!

It's Tuesday night and time for a little blog post.
Well I just upgraded my computer with WINDOWS 7 instead of Windows VISTA and all I can say is WOWOWOWOWOWOW it's fast! Vista took so much time loading and loading and this W7 is fabulous. I am one of those computer people that needs stuff ... now.. like no waiting let's get moving I need it NOW and this is fabulous!

So, yes i had to save all my information/pictures/ files since i reformatted my computer. Well in doing so and searching for pictures today I realized I have NO .. NONE .. NADA No pictures of 2009 except for our trip to MEXICO. I am glad and fortunate that i didn't lose all digi pics from 2001 but .. um ya there is a year missing! Thankfully we didn't do anything exciting this year other than take tons of pics of Eddie and one family pic of Steve and I that I like .. i actually uploaded that one to blogger.. so i guess I have 1 or 2 good pictures from 2009! oh .... silly me always trying to be fast and don't be attention to detail! sigh.....

Here are a few things I am working on...
First is this yummy bowl of Reeses Pieces!!! ahhah.. don't you love these? mmmm



Secondly
I am working on a class for a SUPER DUPER online site that I will be able to reveal shortly after its been announced!
The mini album is created with Pink Paislee Amber Road and is fabulous with this black 6x6 chipboard book! ... More sneaks and details coming soon!


Thirdly,
I am trying to get some Scrap Mojo flowing tonight for a layout that I need finished for this .. um Friday! This is how far I've gotten!


ha ha, at least I have the picture and papers chosen! It's a layout for my Mon Scrapbook DT. I am anxious to play with this yummy kit ... those birds are too cute aren't they!?

and lastly...
I am itching to get the new October Afternoon papers ... I need to find an online store NOW that has these available..... they are too sweet and I can't wait to see them IRL.

Yes, hubby is so nice to me! He got me a new camera lens yesterday. It's been on my wishlist for quite some time and finally it's coming home to me! It was ordering online so I should have it by
the end of next week ... It's the EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III USM for my camera.
I can't wait to use it. maybe now I'll be able to get a few good shots of the deer in our backyard and sneaking in a picture of my mom or dad without them knowing!

Me Happy!

Mon Scrapbook Reveal

It's Saturday morning! It's reveal day for me at MonScrapbook.com and this is my last layout using Bo Bunny Flutter Butter. I enjoyed working with these fabulous papers cause they are double sided and thick! I really like the diversity the papers offer and they got me using some older photos of hubby and family!

This layout is called Caught Up

My Husband and I took a trip to St. Andrews New Brunswick at the Kingsbrae Gardens a few years ago and inside this cedar hedge were tons of branches. Quite remarkable actually, so of course I had to take a picture of my husband all Caught Up in these branches!

Thoughts for Today

a few things I am thinking about today....

The morning are getting so cold, i'll have to put the sandals away and start wearing socks again
( did you know this existed!! -- http://www.blackandwhitesocks.com/ )

My tan is slowly fading away, my complexion looks so good with sunkissed cheeks
and blonde highlights from the chlorine in the pool!

I've been on Expedia searching for great hotel deals... I think I am ready for another vacation

I am happy my honey got a new job, but I am not liking him working on Sundays
I am so lonely without him sometimes

I have a hectic work week ahead of me starting Wednesday - 7 days in a row

I wish I had tomorrow Off Work so I could enjoy some time with my Honey

I am washing our Sofa cushions, should be nice smelling and clean in about 1 hour

I am interested in paying someone to paint our living room, hallway area and wondering what colors to choose
- so far ... Benjamin Moore Caliente .. i think that's cause of Mexico!


I need new living room curtains

I loved our beds in Mexico and think spending good money on a bed is a great ideaThese are my thoughts for today!

Mon Scrapbook Reveal

It's reveal day for me at MonScrapbook.com

A picture of my parents taken in 1998.
We were enjoying a short 3 day visit in Vancouver and Stanley Park one was of our many stops.

I've been on vacation and away from my scrap supplies for too long! It's time to get back in the groove!!!! Hubby has just ordered his " Super Sports Pack " from our cable company and that means HOCKEY season! I 'll have more time to scrapbook and since I have a box full of new papers from CHAS09 and new pictures - it's time to get cracking!!!

Hope you have a fabulous weekend, it's a little chilly here on the East Coast as Fall is fast approaching. Our leaves are changing color and soon it will be time for some fabulous fall photos.

Enjoy the day and I'll talk to you soon!

Back from Mexico!

Hello my scrapper friends!

Yes, Hubby and I enjoyed 7 days in the pool in Cancun Mexico! We had a fabulous time sipping Margaritas, sunbathing, and some wonderful Mexican Cuisine.

I have a few pictures to share with you and a few more a bit later. I am exhausted and for some reason I am having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning.. My "reality" world starts again On Wednesday when I go back to work and I am sooo not looking forward to it.


I am editing a few pictures for scrapbooking and anxious to have some new topics to scrap. My travel papers will be in use in the next few weeks!


I'll be blogging shortly about our daily adventures, but just wanted to say HI to you all and I am still alive!

Talk Soon!

Our Last Day

Get up, it's 8am ... I know why get up so early? well it's quiet, it's nice and cool and if we slept all morning we'd miss it!!!
Today it's picture day! We have our Mini Tripod and Camera ready to go.
I am dying of heat already and steve's running around with the self timer ... he got some great photos that i can't wait to scrapbook with, and we didn't really coordinate our outfits, but we tried! Next time we'll be a bit more prepared.

I am not comfortable with the weight gain and well.... i won't show you all pictures but here are a few good ones..

We decided to go Para-sailing today! I was sooo excited. We got on a jet ski to bring us to the boat and got settled in our para-sail. We were pretty high and the view was breathtaking. we could see all the resorts and pools, beach etc that they offered ... it was pretty quiet and not too much activity at about 11am..








a great morning for us! I would soo do this again and maybe a bit longer than 30 minutes .. a bit pricey but well worth it!

It's our last night here so we will enjoy it with a good supper ... in bed! yes, we ordered room service again cause i got a sun stroke. I was shivering cold by about 4pm today. We headed to the room and relaxed for the night .. steve enjoyed his cigar and I enjoyed a warm blanket!
I even had 15 and 30 sunscreen all week but my shoulder blades got a bit too much sun.

a night to relax to wake up early for our flight home ...
