So much to do, so little time.....
so happy Monday morning! I LOVE a little bit of routine, not lots but a little.... the kids are all back to school this morning, Cole and Sharla have been off for almost three weeks so there has been no routine! YIKES!!!! So i am loving the quiet this morning..... The last week has been so busy with scrapbooking! It has been so awesome, haven't scrapped this much in awhile so it has been good.... Getting some class samples done and so on! I will be teaching a canvas class at the Scrapyard here in Calgary this month. I also have two layout classes planned for this month, one on the 12th and one on the 19th. I have a couple spots left in the 12th so if you are interested let me know. I also wanted to share a couple of pics of the album I made for Brianne.....the pics aren't great but I was running out to a class and before the album was gone I thought I better hurry up and snap a few pics! I have to say the album is amazing, I know that the family will cherish this abum and will enjoy looking back through the memories of Brianne's life..... Have a great day everyone and I will be posting a technique at OLW this week so make sure and check it out!

WORD UP!!!!
Thank goodness for word up over at OLW because it seems like that is the only time I update my blog! BAD!!!!!! ANyway I know you all don't need to know how busy I am! Sometimes life just happens to get in the way..... It was my turn this time around so I chose the word "living"..... it seemed so appropriate formy life right now..... I feel like I am living the dream, I am where I want to be, where I always hoped I would be..... What does this word mean to you? Go over and check it out, play along with us! There are some great prizes to be won too!

and this cute boy was home last weekend! Well for a short time... he can't sit still for too long!
and this cute girl is starting to get so excited for Grad..... another thing hard to believe that it is happening already!
This past week hs been consumed with a lot of scrapbooking! It has been awesome....two Saturday's ago I got to go and play with the girls at the Scrapyard.... If you have never been there it is one of our local scrapbook store in Calgary.... Love that place and the girls are all amazing! They had an anniversary event so I went and did a make and take for them.....It was a great event, lots of people too! I have taught a few classes as well..... Last Saturday I got together with a few girls to do an album for a one of our friends who passed way in a car accident this past summer.... she was 17 years old..... The album is beautiful, It was such a good reminder for me to never take life for granted.....enjoy the moments......Life each day like it could be your last.......i will post those pictures another day!
Have a beautiful Wednesday everyone!

Where have I been? crazy I know but life has been so crazy busy! I am hoping that I am all caught up right now and things are back to normal! we'll see! Our word up over at OLW for this week is a little bit different! We joined teams with Pencil Lines
We used their sketch to do a layout.... a little bit different for me.... I tried my hardest to follow it but by the end I noticed that I had just kept adding.... I totally couldn't help myself! lol anyway I got it done so that was the main thing! The word is 'Keep" Love that! Miss Karla got to pick it this week!Here is what i did:

We had a little mini photo shoot so that Manda and Cody could capture this sweet time in their lives! I Love this shot of them! They are so happy with their lives and their sweet little Kade!
How cute is he! Love this little guy!
And the reason that I haven't been around much lately.... me and these girls.... Marilyn, Lucie and Kathy and myself..... went to Las Vegas to take a class from Teresa Collins! We had so much fun.... touring around Vegas.... I really loved it, so much fun to be with those girls too! Plus it was a really great event! If you ever get the opportunity to go to one of these events I would highly recommend it! Plus it is so much fun hanging out with your girlfriends for a few days!
Teresa Collins is a doll! Plus her product line is awesome!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone today! I have been thinking so much lately of how much we have to be Thankful for! Life is good.................
