Yes, it's Snowing Again ;)

Wow, I can’t believe that it has been so long since I posted!! With work and Christmas things got pretty crazy around here. I think it is a bit funny that the day I finally have time to post is the first one in awhile that it is snowing!!


I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!! The hot hubby and I were pretty busy with get-togethers with friends and families over the past few days. Here are some pictures highlighted all the festivities.

I am making updating my blog an unofficial New Years Resolution, so I hope you will be hearing lots from me in the future!!

If you have some time today you should check out All Moments Remembered. They just revamped their site and have a lot of contests and RAKs going today. Hopefully, I will be spending most of my day there today! I am trying not to notice my Honey-Do list that the hot hubby left me before he went to work today ;)

Have a gooder!!

Will it Ever Stop Snowing?!?!

Ick, we are definitely getting all the snow we missed in October/November this week. Every time they say that the snow is going to stop, the little flakes start falling again. The roads are slick and people are starting to drive like idiots. I took me twice as long to get home after work yesterday because of a three car collision!! People were driving on the shoulders trying to get by faster. My drive in this morning was uneventful, but traffic is pretty thin at 6:30am. It is just one of the reasons I like starting work early (my earned Fridays off is another!).

Here is another layout that finished recently. When Ken and I started dating my motherly instincts hadn’t kicked in at all and I didn’t really want children. As I get older, and depending on the day, I am starting to feel a little a differently. My husband is wonderful with children and I know that he will make an awesome father. But for right now, we are not ready for children. Financially and emotionally we are just too selfish. We are still young and just taking this time to enjoy each other. I can’t predict the future and don’t know how either of us will feel in a couple of years. What I do know is that I love my husband and for right now we are a family, just the two of us!!


Yes, this is another picture from our photoshoot with Heather! What can I say, I just love these pictures. I am going to make my sister a mini book for Christmas, and then it is back to my Disney album. So, I will take a little break from these pictures, but I am not making any promises that you won’t see more!

Have a gooder!!

Global Perspectives Challenge

Here is a layout I did for the Global Perspectives challenge. I find it hard to scrap about me sometimes so this was a good challenge for me to do. It’s nice to have another layout to go into my almost empty All About Me album.


Things have been pretty busy around here still, but I have been squeezing in some scrapbooking time here and there. I am working on a couple of mini albums for people for Christmas and time is already getting tight. I am starting to get pumped for Christmas though, and hope to put our Christmas tree up tonight!

Have a gooder!!

Winter is Here to Stay!

Brrrr!!! It is snowing again, ICK!! I have to drive about 2 ½ hours north to Athabasca tomorrow, so I really hope that it stops soon! I know everyone with snowmobiles is excited (Michelle), but I just don’t feel the love for the snow. I would have been just fine with a brown Christmas.

On a happier note, the furnace at work has been fixed and the office is a balmy 220C this morning. It didn’t get fixed until late yesterday afternoon, so everyone ended up wearing their winter coats all day. We had space heaters all over the place! I tried whining to my husband about how cold it was, but it turns out the guy who works right beside the bay doors (that were open all day yesterday for deliveries) in an already cold machine shop has no sympathy!

Speaking of the hubby, I did a layout all about him for the Thankful challenge at
ScrapMojo challenge. I just love this picture of him and had a great time creating this layout!! (I have now fixed the spelling mistake, I guess my brain took the weekend off!)




Have a great (and warm) day!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I managed to get quite a few pages done this weekend (well lots for me, not lots in Heather standards). I scrapbooked all day Saturday with Michelle, Heather and Michelle’s friend Kim at the Urban Scrapbook. We had a blast!! I spent a little more than I had planned, but what do you expect when you spend the day surrounded by all those goodies!

Here is one of the pages that I did on Saturday. It is for the Unpubbed challenge. I have so many great pictures from our photoshoot with Heather that it was nice to showcase a bunch of them on one page.


On Sunday Ken and I decided to check out the new mega, super, ridiculously large Wal-Mart. We thought it might be a little less busy because the Grey Cup was on, but we were WRONG!! I think it is safe to say that we will never go back to the new mega, super, ridiculously large Wal-Mart. To make us feel better after the Wal-Mart fiasco we decided to go out for dinner. It was fabulous, we even splurged and had dessert!!

Too bad the awesome weekend was spoiled by the snow and freezing cold I woke up to this morning. Brrrr!! The furnace in the office must be shocked too, because it is freezing! I am sitting at my desk wearing my winter coat, and I am very tempted to but my hood on ;) I hate winter (sorry Michelle), it makes me want to crawl into bed with tons of blankets and hibernate!

On that note, I should get back to work!! Have a gooder!!

Hi, from Valleyview!!

I am out of town right now for work, but I thought I would update since I had some spare time. I haven't had too much time to be crafty lately, but I have made some Christmas cards already. I will try and post pictures when I am back in the City. I plan on doing a lot of scrapbooking this weekend, and I can't wait!!


I am writing this on a tablet PC, so it is very hard to write this. Here is a picture of so you know what I am talking about.



Hopefully work will slow down soon and I can update more!! Have a goodnight.

Wacky Wednesday

Well, things have been pretty busy around here. I did get to scrapbook a bit this weekend, but not nearly as much as I had hoped. I have all of these ideas floating around in my head, but it seems like I can never find the time to create them.

On Friday night I finally finished my lift of Heather’s Unpubbed layout, unfortunately, I did not get it in in time for the contest, but I least I got it done.




And, I will have you notice that it is a Disney layout!! I finished three Disney layouts on the weekend. I might actually get this album done in the near future. Here are the other two. For some reason my scanner does not like me right now so they may look a little wonky. I promise, in real life every thing is straight.




I was going to scrapbook on Sunday night, but instead I did this.



It was my first official babysitting gig as an Aunt. And as you can see we had no fun what so ever! Who knew reading Wacky Wednesday would cause us to go so wacky!



This week is gearing up to be pretty hectic. I won’t even start to whine about my winter tire fiasco! This weekend, however, is showing some hope of me creating some more layouts. Hopefully, I have some new pages to show very soon!!
