Holy Crap it has been a while!

Just wanted to pop in and say hey, I know I have been extremely negligent on my posting lately. We are selling our house, and upgrading to this......

I can't wait!!! I am gaining an extra 1200 square feet, a walk in closet, a jacuzzi tub, a pantry, and a bonus room! But it is alot of work on top of Carsgone deadlines, hiring graphic designers and sales reps for both Calgary and Edmonton. Did I also mention I still have a family to take care of, clothe, feed, bathe, etc.

This all leaves very little time to blog, and scrap sadly. Anyhoo, I hope everyone id out there enjoying the sunshine, I did manage to sneak off to Toy'R'Us today with the kids and buy a new kiddie pool, Can't wait to go for a dp ;) Have a fabulous day!!!

A Pile Of Scrap! March Design Team Reveal

This months kit that we got from A Pile Of Scrap! was by far my favorite, this new Lush line from My minds Eye is so pretty and esay to work with I really did not have to put alot of work into this album. I just enjoyed playing with all the yummy goodness! Check out these amazing flocked chipboard letters, I love them!!



I have been extremely busy lately with my business and such that I have not had alot of time to scrap, so this Lush line was the answer to my prayers.... I was contemplating whether or not I would have time to do an album for my Mom for her upcoming 50th (today) but did not think I could pull it off.






When I saw this paper, and ribbon I knew instantly it had to be done. Please go check out the other design team blogs for the rest of this fun, quick and easy albums they came up with!

Spread your wings

I can't believe this little one is turning 6 right away.....Part of me wishes she would stop growing and stay right where she is. Still want to snuggle with me, and hold my hand in public, Kiss me goodbye at school. Let me read books to her. Pretty soon she will be reading them to me (tear). Then the other part of me can't wait to see her blossom into a young lady, watch her become more independent, find out who she is and what her passions are. I know I can't freeze time, but I can try and cherish every moment of sweetness with her. Squeeze her tighter, give her lovin every chance I get. And then my dear friends I just have to let go a little and watch her spread her wings and fly.
