Life is good so.....
Let's Celebrate!

So most of you will remember 'one little word'..... If you don't, you can check it out Here! A few years back I was part of this amazing group of women.... it was fantastic! Because of life and different situations, Ronda (The mastermind behind OLW) decided it was time to back away from it... so to cut a very long story short, it never left her and because of that OLW is back up and running! And I am part of it once again! I am so excited to be back again with these amazing ladies!

This time around it was Jessi's word choice and she chose the word Celebrate.
I knew right away where I wanted to go with this word...

A lot of you ladies may know this story but for those of you that don't here it is....
Last year my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer.... He didn't seem overly worried when they found something there and when my mom called to tell us all she said was "They found a wee bit of cancer...." Like what the heck is a wee bit? That is the scottish in her...lol
Anyways my dad did really well and responded to the treatments really well and for now all is good.....
We are happy!!!
So in August my dad turned 70 and was so excited about it! ( not sure if I will be as excited as he was!) We had a party for him and i think he was so happy that he was able to celebrate it with all of his family around! We were too!
So my layout is called.... 'Life is good so Celebrate!'
Enjoy the little everyday moments everyone and Celebrate life!

make sure you go and check out 'One little word' and play along!!!

Until next time!

Slacker!!!!
I know I am... and I'm sorry... not sure where my days go sometimes but they have been busy! Lori and I did our annual Las Vegas trip and went to the Teresa Collins event! We had a great time, absolutely great! we even had time to sit and enjoy the pool and since the temperatures were around the 36, to 37 degrees it wasnt too hard to take... we won't talk about the slot machines though ok?? just sayin....lol
Thought I better hurry up this week and get the layout posted since the class is almost over! Eeeekkkk!
Layout #3

Another great week!
Even though it isn't great that summer is almost over, I really love the beginning of September and a start to a new 'Shabby Chic' class! This past week was fun, and I am looking forward to another 19 weeks with all of you! Its so nice to see new faces and of course see all of the "regulars" Love it a lot!

Its always sad to see the end of summer but when its sad that means that there has been good days.... and this summer was no exception, lots of fun fabulous days! And of course the weather was fabulous so that totally helped!

ok so I have to say that I had the most oductive day today than I have had in a really long time! So proud of myself actually.... my bedroom, although it still needs a little work is finally cleaned up! I really need to do a major overhaul but it was needed to have everything put away and tidied up and I got that done today! Yay me!!! I also got a lot accomplished in my studio! so excited to have put stuff away for now that is! I also got a little bit done on 'my week in my life" album and I have to say it makes me happy just looking at it....
here is a little peek:

you will love it when you see it in real life!!!
Next is my #4 child turned 19 yesterday! say what? I know right? like where does the time go? He told me on facebook to just think of the moments and not the time....lol, oh to be young again! I want to say just wait till your my age and i know he will say you were right mom.... it is flying by..... lol

I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer! It  is just speeding past and I know for me anyways I am planning September... sad I know but I have to plan my classes at least!
I know most of you that read my blog will know that I am starting another Shabby Chic class... This will be the 6th album which is so hard to believe! I have to thank all of you for that! it has been a crazy fun time for me and I hope it has been for all of you as well!
We will be doing the 9th month(september) of our happiness journal which is like crazy, like we started that class in January and it gets funner every month! I can hardly wait to find a new book for January, I know that will be another fabulous class!!!!

This is all for now my friends, have a fabulous rest of your night!!!

I haven't been teaching too much and I have to say I have been missing all of you girls, where is everyone, tell me what you have been doing all summer!!
For those of you that are in my tin album class, make sure you get your photos done, before you know it the class will be here! I am working on my photos right now so hopefully by the end of next week I will have it done and at the store!
