Life continues

Life after a craft fair is great! I didn't realize how much of my life it overtook! I've been making cards, for me!, doing a couple scrapbook pages...I'll post some pictures tonight.

I feel like Santa...making a list, checking it twice! lol...organizing check, cleaning check, arranging check, PAC meeting check....see how easy it is ;)

Well I don't have much else to say at this momento....Kev is home this weekend so I'm sure we will have some crazy adventures then I can tell you all about it on monday :)

Life returns to normal??

Do I even remember what normal is. For the last few days since the fair has ended my head feels like it's spinnin'. Not in the drunken sense (I wish) but in the what now sense...like something's missing. When this happens to me I organize and tidy. Those who know me know this already. So I have been checking tasks off my list....sometimes checking it twice (yes Santa pun intended) I've built the wire rack cube thingy (very technical name there) for my paper's...just need to finish sorting them. I've almost caught up on the card challenge list I had started...only one more to go and I'm there.

The kids are still here ;) I thought maybe along the road they might have dropped off but no such luck! (I'm kiddin' Summer) Kevin's working like a maniac so we can go to Mexico in January....gosh I love that guy!

Here's a couple of the cards I've been working on lately:

Busy B!

Wow has my life been busy. I get so wrapped up in learning new stuff on the net that I forget to say hi over here!

The Charles Dickenson Craft Faire is this weekend at the filberg center beside the Sid for all you locals if you wanna check it out! I'll be there for the first time ever! Hopefully it goes well :)

So I'm just surfin' about and learning new things...

I'll be a better blogger after this weekend...I promise :)

more and more and MORE....

Cards that is! lol...creating everyday now....not much time for anything else. Well that's not all true. I have also been baking a bit, running a bit, biking a bit...I like to do things in little bit's as to not become addicted to any one thing ;o

So here is a bit ;) of what i've been up to:

off to do some more playin'...I mean workin' ;)

Holly summer!

Wow the summer has flown past. We have been busy little beavers! Camping, lake, U.S.A., work, playdates, company, school supplies, school, Kevin's birthday....ahhhhh


This weekend is Danielle's wedding shower. It is in Courtenay and that's all I can say right now cause I think she is stalking me to find out more....your not getting more Danielle! :)....so here is what we have been up to lately:
Crazy Zulu Knot hair with Auntie Danielle!

Apparently the girls dress Harley (our SON) up when we aren't home....



Harley going to give wakeboarding a shot for the first time...he got in the water...then was done...maybe next time :)




The kids on Robby/Trudy's Hotdog! So fun!

ME! On a wakeboard! I actually still can't believe that it really is as easy to get up as they say, they being Michele and Jason! I highly recommend it people! :)

Then there was school! Summer grade 7, Zoe grade 5, Harley grade 1....boy I'm getting old!




And last but not least....some of my lastest creations:

All in a week's work....

Here are a couple of this weeks creations:

I made the girls a grid for their room. I had these funny pictures of them when they were younger playing with sunglasses. Different from my normal layouts....but I like it! I am bias :)

Seasons first Christmas card....in not your "typical" Christmas colors!
One of the "male" birthday cards I have created....he reminds me of some men I know! lol Anniversary cardThis one was very special. How many times in your life can you say you got to make a 100th birthday card!! I hope plenty! I made this one for my friend Kris's Grandmother. The 100 is made with chipboard from Stampin Up, the flowers are from Michael's (I take apart flower's on stems I don't buy them in containers)Our garden is growing!! Our garden is growing!! We will soon harvest peas, carrots, beets, beans, peppers, tomatoes...well maybe not "soon" :)

Peas & Beans:Not exactly sure what this is...the plant is from mom....it's some kind of squash or something...whatever, it's growing! Isn't it amazing how a plant sends off those curly shoots to grab onto stuff....I sit in my greenhouse and just stare...it's wonderful! We went to Nanaimo one day....took the kids to Dollarama...they each got a Beebe gun...this is how they are allowed to play, with eye protection! They are very creative...gotta give them that! A day off with dad consists of fishing down at the local boat launch! They caught about 15 bullheads I'm told...but Harley said "they were too small to eat!" lolThis past long weekend we decided the girls needed a change! More like their room was driving me nuts...I can't stand clutter, well my scrap/craft space is a different story, anyhow, we redid their room. See the closet with the two white cabinets...that has become their bed area. The old closet was only 2inches shorter than their beds....so Kevin put up bead board to hide all the wrecked plaster walls and he built in bunk beds!This is the new room! Kevin had a futon that we didn't want to get rid of when we "re-joined" our houses! He also had a computer that the girls got....so of course a new computer desk was in order! Summer loves it....Zoe is waiting for the laptop from Grandma! hint hint :)Here is their new beds. Aren't they COOL! They love it! I love it!

Well, that is my past week in a quick nutshell! :) I tell ya, I know I am one of the luckiest ladies in the world. I figured out by 34 that life is about the quality of your day....cause there ain't no guarantee of quantity!!

Off to blog land!

Cheers
