Let the Christmas cards Begin

i opened up a Christmas kit that i 

received from a fellow scrapper
i have always liked the colours but have never used it 

so today i dug into all the cut up scraps

and only cut one full sheet -

this is what i came up with

i used no real thought nor did i plan anything

i just started gluing!

have a creative Sunday ..... 

1st Day of School

this year was Alex's first year of school 

he was very excited and loves going to play with his friends

with his birthday being in december - he would have started

JK when he was 3

that is to young, and we had the ability to keep him home with us

so we did 

he was more than ready this year

Alex started SK - age 4

Taylor started grade 8 - age 13

Garett started grade 11 -age 16

What wonderful kids! 

have a creative day !

CROP N CREATE!!!

let me just start with 

Oh My Goodness ....

this was an amazing little retreat - 

i joined a few other friends that did attend last year 

and some that didn't and we had a great time!

( minus my nasty little flu attack - horrible timing )

  

   

my scrappy friends are the best !

as I said above I was staying with my friend Myra
and sorrily for her i was up with the flu for most of the night

i didnt get as nuch done as i would like
but i did get a few done

  

well i think that post is long enough 

off to finish the Christmas decorations & maybe get some presents wrapped tonight !

be creative!

Sketch N Scrap #69

here is the sketch 

here's what i made

this past september i turned 40

i dont feel 40 

i dont look 40 

and sweetie i rarely act 40!

its just a number 

i got really lucky with this sketch -

the bunting was on my cupcake display

i removed the posts - and tada -i was half way there

i have also taken to candy buffet / bars this year 

i seam to be making them for everyone's birthday

we had a bonfire in our backyard and invited on;y close friends

it was a reggae theme - since scott & i had our first 

real vacation together in montego bay jamaica a couple

years ago - we listen to reggae & love the relaxed layed back

feel of the island

my husband is referred to as the whitest jamaican 

by our jamaican friends 

I'm BACK !!

Well after a very cool short sprint, summer & fall

I have finally sat myself down to create.

Just to give you a recap of why I haven't been around here is 

I quick recap with layouts and pictures to follow - 

we got our trailer out late and camped when we could 

before school let out

we stayed with family in upsala - visited friends at wolf river ( twice)

and spend the month of Aug in beardmore

taylor attended most of her summer gymnastic training

and spent times with friends

and relaxed before starting her competitive training again 

this past september

she is looking forward to a competition in 

minneapolis this dec & 

returning to the arizona grad invitational in jan

garett trained with a trainer all summer & 

has started to take is nutrition and health more serious

he decided against trying out for higher level hockey teams 

away from home - i am so happy to have him here

he was called to join a jr b team after draft & 

they decided to affiliate instead 

so he is enjoying a year of aa & playing up when ever he can

alex was so much fun all summer 

he enjoys boat rides - tubing - climbing and playing in the clay

he is always doing something and is simply the funniest 

most pleasant little boy!

has started playing hockey this fall

he plays at out local arena in a rec league 3 nights a week

he loves it and is starting to understand the finer points

it looks a bit like herd hockey - but he is so determined

he with have the love and passion for the game like big brother

if our house wasnt busy enough - 

2 weeks into september we decided to have another 

16 year old boy live with us

he was living in kelowna bc with his father and 

grandmother after his mothers death 2 years ago

i have moved my craft room / office into the corner of the 

rec room where the bar was going to go 

so i have a hard time being creative with no sanctuary to run to 

and always feel like i have more to now

it had been a challenging adjustment for all 5 members of our family

and we have had some prayer requests

i am hoping things settle in soon 

well that is where i have been ! 

i am sure there is more but i would like to share the details 

with you as i post some of the pages i have completed

i got this one done tonight

it was a challenge from 

Stuck!?

the above is a link to the challenge

here is the sketch:

i pretty much just followed it - 

i may do this for a bit till i get my mojo flowing..... lol 

here is what i did 

this was taken last march break in toronto

we went down for a mini vacation to watch garett

play in the ohl cup

not often we get a date night - or a trip away .

hope to see you all soon 

be crafty
