WHAT UP PEEPS

So I guess I kinda missed the whole summer of blogging...tee hee
Sorry :)

I thought I would give y'all a short version on my summer...

-Went to BC for 2 weeks...took our trailer, it was super awesome!
-basement is still in shambles...have done ZERO scrapping :(
-Jadie had her trigger finger surgery....went great and she can now straighten it :)
-I went to the Backstreet boys concert...yaaaaaa whoot
-We went to the beach a few time-just Birds Hill
-Camped at Birds Hill a few times....getting in 2 more times before September is over
-Went to the outdoor pool once
-Worked quite a bit
-Worked on the front yard, cut down the tree
-Suntanned
-Read one book....not as much as I wanted :)
-Gained alot of weight :( from quitting smoking
-started to exercise
-baked alot :)


It seems like alot but I feel like we didnt very much!

That is my life in a nut shell :)

Little Update

All is well, just a few hiccups :)

Our basement flooded 2 weeks ago...I'm talking big time.
6 inches of water everywhere.
Everything that was on the floor or affected by water had to go.
So right now my scrapbooking is on hiatus...(all of my stuff is ok..Don't worry:)) I just have it all put away so that we can work on fixing our basement again. Its amazing how much stuff you can accumulate in 12 years....yikes....stuff we didn't need!!
So ya, that is my life now....a life full of water, damaged walls, Rubbermaid tubs full of stuff everywhere LOL


Peace

I need to get creative

I need to...that is all there is to it.

I have no mojo what so ever...but Im constantly thinking about creative stuff....I just cant seem to do it.

GRRRRRRRRR

That is my challenge this week. For me...and anyone else who is with me....do something CREATIVE!!!!

Happy Mothers Day!!!

To all the Mommies out there....I hope you are having a wonderful Mothers day!!!

Mission 0015 is here!!!!

Head on over to MC for a fab new challenge!! I quite enjoyed this one :)

This is what I came up with....

On a sadder note, Jeff's Auntie passed away on Tuesday. Marion was a wonderful lady, with a kind heart and lots of love! I am quite sadden by this, she was young and has 3 kids and 4 grandkids...its just so awful. Jeff is in Kelowna right now for the funeral....me and the kiddies stayed home. Cant quite afford 5 people jumping on an airplane for the weekend :(

Anyways, as Julie would say: peace out!!!

I love Randomness :)

Miss Vanessa sent out a random thoughts challenge...I'm not very good at this but here is goes:



1) Chocolate is amazin'
2) My baby really loves me :)
3) It feels good to be feeling good
4) My hubbie has been really sweet to me lately..hmmm what does he want :)
5) I am seriously addicted to the Internet
6) I really need some new clothes but don't want to buy any yet
7) I cant wait for Minneapolis
8) What is this pain under my ribs...frick!
9) I LOVE NAPS...seriously love them
10) Why are my kids so darn messy
11) My eczema is looking better
12) I kiss my baby's chubby cheeks constantly-is this normal?
13) I need to scrap more
14) My basement is a disaster...I wish I had a cleaning lady
15) Ghosts? Do they really exist?
16) I really don't like when people spell their kids name weird : Hethyr-seriously!
17) I cant wait for Friday...I heart the MC too Nicole :)
18) I'm lucky...really
19) Did I mention that I love chocolate?
20) I'm all about reality TV...pathetic!

MC 0013

Getting crafty..feeling better...life is looking up :)

Need some inspiration...head on over to Mission to Create, the new Challenge is great!

This is what I came up with for it :

Life

is really hard for me right now....Im not sure why? Im not depressed but I have very low self esteem and motivation to do anything! Anyways, its 8 weeks since I quit smoking and no doubt it has something to do with my life issues right now. Im happy to have quit, and do feel like Im doing really well (no real desires to go back to it) but Im not happy with the weight gain and emotional probs that go with it. I just need to get past this and then I will be golden :)

On a happier note: Mission to Create has post challenge #0012....whooot!! I'd love for you to play along!!!

Here is what I did for the challenge:

You do know that Challenge 0011 is up right?

go see it and then go do it...its just that simple :)

It was seriously hard for me to do mostly black(even though that was my chosen concept.. tee hee) but I love how it turned out! I love the way the DT rocked this challenge...my favorite so far!!

Here is my take on the challenge, I used all concepts.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Birthday!!!

Well, it certainly was a hectic holiday season, I have to say Im glad its over! We didnt have a great one even though it was Jadie's 1st Christmas. We had some unfortunate things happen on Christmas Eve and that seemed to set the tone for the Holidays. Anyways, everyone is fine now and we move on......

My Little Jadie just had her 1st Birthday!!!....I can believe that my little angel baby is one! How did that happen??? It's been a hard year for us but without our beautiful girls, it would have been much worse!

HAppy Birthday Princess!!!

Creating Christmas :)

Just some projects I have been working on this Christmas......I could not, for the life of me find a nice stocking for Jadie....so I made one :)

A journal I altered for one of my Daughters friends for Christmas, we arent 'buying' alot of gifts this year :)

Next some of the Christmas cards I made this year...
