In Vancouver visiting my favorite Uncle Martin. Tomorrow I head to seattle with Prestin for the day. Just a weekend getaway. Sad to say I took some cute pictures at the market (Grandville Island) and I'm not sure how to get them from my camera to my computer without putting them on a disk first.

Love Meem's

I'm going to scrap this picture. Its cute and fun and its UNCLE MART!!!!.

Inspiration before we go!!!

Well the first layout is done (and backwards). The second layout is kind of a funny story. Its started but not completed. Papa is the tilte and in the bottom part it will say "no biting". My dad is always kissing the little grand kids and Aarin gets it the most!. Aarin always thinks my dad is biting him cause the whiskers hurt a bit. He yells at my dad constantly "PAPA, no biting"!!!. Now its a big joke and everyone laughs when he says it!. The third photo is Prestin and I who are headed to vancouver at 3AM. We are taking off just for the weekend just to have some quality time together. I will try to post inspiration from our weekend getaway. Sending a big hug and kiss to all the ladies at the store and to the readers of the blog!!!!

Love Meem's

I need some new jeans and clothes that fit!!! after about 5 hours of shopping i would definatly want to eat....it would be a romantic restaurant, with candles, wine, and......Tim & Tim.....yup Mr. Holtz and Mr. Mc graw!!!!!(hey its only a dream..I'm allowed!!!).

Scrapbook trends

Place's to look for inspiration. The new scrapbook treads is now at the store. These magazines are full of great ideas. I tend to grab a copy as soon as they come out. I took Aarin skating for the first time tonight. I was able to take some nice shots of his first attempt at the rink. I might just scrap them for the next kit!. Enjoy your sleep and blog more tomorrow.

In our house we usually do dinner out, or I make hubby's favorite dinner which is Chicken Enchillada's from the cambell soup cook book. This year we ate out on Sunday nite and had Chinese food!!! We take the girls with us out too.

Hubby always comes home with a dozen roses for me and always 2 single roses for the girls. Usually i get red, but there was no red ones left and I got yellow this year...they are so pretty, especially with the 2 pink in the bouquet. take a look...

I hope that u all had a wonderful Valentines day!!! and got treated by your sweetie!!! I spent all nite in bed!!!!

Take a picture time!

So I mentioned last week that I had a bit of a car accident? Nothing serious, really, but the damage to my P.T. Crusier was expensive. Lesson learned? Carry more than PLPD for insurance. Good news is, I get a new car! And guess what I got??

Another P.T.! This one is a girl (the old one was a boy, named, uh, Petie) and I wanted to name it Repeat, but my daughter veto'd my suggestion, and has dubbed her Stevie. It's a purty red, with heated leather seats, and a sunroof! *swoon!* I've always wanted a sunroof. This one opens either all together, or will vent. Love that feature!! It's an older model, but has very low klicks.
Which brings me to today's post. Your picture challenge for today (or if you tend to procrastinate, later this week, lol) is to take a picture of your ride. Document this, does your vechile have a name? Do you love it? Hate it? Just grateful that it gets you from point A to point B? Do you buy new? Used? You don't have a car? Truck? Van? Sled dogs? Runners? Take a bus? Whatever you use to get you from here to there, take a pic and write some stuff about it!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! See you soon!

It's not midnight yet!

I've been having a crazy week! Which is a good thing!! But I'm tired and swamped, and writing this at 10 to midnight, but that doesn't matter. I hope you've been able to carve out a little scrappy time for yourself? Me, not so much, but I'm hoping to soon. However, I'm sure you've heard by now that KITS ARE BACK!! And I have a sneak peek to show you!

It was so much fun to work with. I love Kari's flair for colours. She has such a knack for picking different manufacturers and making it all work. I loved working with this kit, and I think you'll love it too.

Here's a little tease!
Tempting little picture, huh? Have a good night, dream of scrappy things, you know I will!

I dislike winter...

So my youngest daughter has a snow day today. I think it's the 3rd or 4th one this year? I had a minor car accident on Saturday, and since I needed to take care of some business because of it, I thought I'd take the day off too. I'm ok, my passengers were ok (my oldest daughter and her boyfriend's sister), but my car.... um, not so much. I'm looking into repairs for it. The damage isn't bad bad, but until I have it looked at, I'm not sure if it'll make more sense to repair it, or replace it. Sadly, I now have a fine I have to pay too. My ego is more damaged than anything. Did you know that there is a $287 fine for missing a stop sign? No? Me either, but I do now.

So that's my interesting life news. I'd rather discuss scrappy stuff. Here's a layout I did recently of my sweet nephew, Jack.
This fall we went to a pumpkin festival, and while there, he showed me his dinosaur face. Gotta love 4 year olds! The patterned paper is from Studio Calico. I seriously *heart* that paper! I traced Maya Road chipboard letters onto cardstock for the title. A rub-on went on the bottom right circle. I punched some stars out of double sided sticky tape, and added some glitter. And then I traced a star on the blue patterened paper for a journal block. Ink on the edges of everything, and done!
Enjoy the rest of the day, and I'll be back later this week with more scrappy goodness to share with you!
