LAYOUT OF THE DAY!!!

Hello bloggers,

I was just on the Creative Scrappers Forum this morning and what a great surprise I had. One of my layouts that I posted on their gallery got picked for the layout of the day September 29th. I had been so busy in the past few weeks that I wasn't on the board that I didn't even know my layout had been picked. Here is the layout that was picked.



That's it for now.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hello scrappers,

There is not enough hours in the day. In the past month, I have been super busy getting ready for my fall crop that I hosted last weekend. I had 60 ladies scrapbooking friday night and Saturday. What an amazing time!!!!

This past weekend we celebrated my son's 4th birthday. He had a great party Saturday at JUST PLAY in Saint John with all his friends. He had such a great time. As you can see in the picture, I think maman had as much fun if not more than him...lol



Ethan went to his second visit to the dentist. He was soooooo good. He didn't fuss at all about getting his teeth cleaned. What a great boy he is!!!!



We also had lots of fun this past week taking fall pictures. I must say, my husband is getting pretty good at taking pictures.







That is it for now.
Thanks for stopping by.

Great trip!!!














Hello scrappers,

We just got back from Niagara Falls, Marineland and African Lion Safari. What a great time we had!!!! I never thought that there was that much to visit in Niagara Falls. We were there for 2 1/2 days and didn't see everything there was to see...lots for kids.

I also have been scrapbooking lots lately. I think I really missed it from taking a break for the summer. Here are a few layouts that I have done in the past few weeks and a nice desk topper for a table or office desk. I will be giving a class on the desk topper in October.

That is it for now.
Thanks for stopping by.

Keeping Busy!!!












Can you already feel the cool air??? I can't believe summer is almost over. It seems as if we just started to get nice weather...AH wait...we did. We really only got 4 weeks of summer. I hope this means our winter is going to be very short.

Well Ethan got his first 5 stitches last week. He fell and hit his forehead on the corner of a wall at daycare. He did so well when we brought him to the hospital. It probably helped that he knew the nurse and doctor that was working. That sure made it easier. I think Maman was more upset than him. I hate seeing my baby hurt.

We are starting to have visiters on our property. I guess Deer love apples. We had two eating our apples yesterday morning. They stayed long enough for me to take a few pictures. They are very beautiful animals.

We have had a very busy summer. It seems as if we haven't been home much. We had soooooo much fun with Ethan...lots of fun in the water. And it's not over, we are leaving for Toronto this Thursday. We are going to Niagara Falls, Marineland and African Safari. Ethan is soooooo excited about going on an airplane again. I think it's going to be lots of fun!!!!

I gave a basic photography class this past Friday evening in St Andrews. We had so much fun taking pictures. I especially loved taking pics of the sunset.

That's it for now.
Thanks for stopping by.

I am back...











OK so I have been neglecting my personnal blog...it's hard to seperate both blogs because I don't want it to always be about scrapbooking. I guess it still comes down to my scrapbooking though because I am still going to scrapbook a lot of the pictures I take on vacation or any other occasion that I would bother to talk about right???? So I am going to make an effort to try to post on both blogs without repeating myself too much!!!!

I must say this past week has been one of our best vacations yet. We had sooooooooo much fun in Shediac...beach, Splash pad at Centenial Park, Moncton Zoo, a little shopping and more beach. We had really nice weather...had a hard time to sleep because it was sooooooooo warm. We even celebrated my dad's 60th birthday and retirement all in one. It was nice to see a lot of family members get together for a barbecue.

We were back home last Friday and had more fun with our son. We set up his new pool we bought him and he spent lots of time in it in just 2 days. He also had lots of fun with his 2 cousins that came to visit all day Sunday. They had sooooooooo much fun in his new pool.

It was so beautiful Monday after thinking it was going to rain all day that we decided to go spend most of the day in St Andrews. We went to the Aquarium first. Our son just loves it there...went 3 times already this summer. And we had my favorite pizza at the Old Time Pizza restaurant. Then of course we can't go to St Andrews without going for ice cream. It was a really nice day.

I am now ready to go back to work now...a little more rested.

That is it for now. Till next time.

Having Fun!!!

Well it's been a while!!! Between the new store opening and carpal tunnel surgery, I've been pretty busy...you think...LOL I am so happy that I am realizing a dream, my own scrapbook store. I don't really know how to explain it, but when people walk through that door, a great big smile on my face appears. I soooooooooo enjoy it!!! The pricing, opening boxes, seeing people's reaction when they see certain products, etc. I love it all. Thanks to everyone who made this dream of mine come true!!!! I love you girls, and especially my wonderful, understanding and patient HUSBAND!!!

So I had carpal tunnel surgery last Thursday and well, it's going pretty good. The last few days have been a lot better. I am starting to use my hand again...a little at a time. Tonight it's a little sore, i think I did too much today.

I am pretty ready for Christmas. My mom came down last weekend to help me because I couldn't do much for at least 3 days after my surgery. She wrapped almost all my Christmas gifts and put up our Christmas decorations. That was a great help.

Ethan is going for his first visit to the dentist tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see how he's going to react to that. I think he'll be pretty excited about it. I'll let you know.

So I haven't scrapbooked since October. With the new store and my surgery, it slowed me down from scrapbooking. Well next Tuesday, I have the day reserved for just that, scrapbook. Hopefully I will have a few layouts to show you!!!!

That's it for now. Till next time.
Happy Holidays!!!!
