Precious Moments

Faith had these "crazy" pink plaid pants on this day which popped right out of every picture . . . so I used a bunch of pink, purple and green flowers to "disguise" them. Eventhough the page is about horseback riding . . . it is girly and pretty and I like it. I used some new paper and a new rub on for the title and cut flowers and butterflies out of a matching piece of paper, added some fun ribbon and leftover rub on words . . . done . . . fun . . . hope they like it . . . 'cause I had fun making it. That's it. Five new pages . . . I feel better . . . love the scrapbooking therapy.

Dishes

Okay, okay, I dropped the ball on the journalling this weekend; but I had a blast doing pages. Faith and Jade doing the dishes at Gramma's house. Look at my girls -- cool! Besides one new patterned paper, everything else was mine and I used up some stuff and made a page I liked. The memories were wonderful. May add some journalling later. I was just enjoying cutting and pasting this weekend.

Blue Windows to the Soul

Just another one of those photos I found this weekend. I love how Spud's eyes look so blue. I love this paper and finally forced myself to buy the Wilma Basic Grey chipboard letters I have wanted for so long. They worked on the page as did the felt letters. It was a quick page which I enjoyed doing.

Camping with Gido

As I was looking through some old photographs for one of Luke's school projects, I came upon some old pictures of the kids. I love these two photographs of Faith as a baby. As the journalling states, we went on a summer holiday for eight weeks and had a blast. It was Faith, her mom and dad and Gido. I want her to have these memories. Man time flies!

Uniquely You

Right when Sky got her braces, I wanted to do a page to show just how happy she was to get them. I started this page pretty much the day after but have been so busy that I just finished it today at work. In fact, today (Sunday) I decided I had to do some scrapbooking because I have been unable to for so long. All I actually had to do to finish it was add the buttons; but it didn't seem done until they were added.

Braces for Sky

After quite a few appointments to the College of Dentistry at the University of Saskatchewan, Sky finally got her "much awaited" braces. As you can tell by the smile on her face, she is quite thrilled to finally be "wired". The orthodontist made her day when he put green elastics on them. We are finally on our way to straight teeth. Unfortunately for her, her mouth hurt so much the other day, the only food that didn't hurt to eat was chocolate cheesecake ----aaawwwww!!

Yeeee-ooouch!!!!

Those with weak stomachs, don't look any further. This is what happens when you get your thumb too close to a meat slicer. Ya, Faith has had quite the week. I guess most of this explains why I haven't had much time to blog. Faith cut her finger, got new glasses, got a speeding ticket, she lost her cell phone and then some guy ran into her on 22nd Street. Besides the 98% and 100% she has gotten in her math class, she really should have stayed in bed all of this week and part of last. It seems between doctor's appointments, optometrist appointments, weddings, orthodontist appointments, work, work and work, tutors, work, boyfriends and work again, I haven't had much time to even do housework (pity). We have so much new product in the store and we are getting ready for the two crops coming up soon so, eventually some new pages and wall art will be posted. I hope everyone is doing alright out there.

Faith's New Glasses

We have been trying to get to the bottom of Faith's migraine headaches so we had her go and see the optometrist again. Apparently she needs a certain type of lens to help her read from the board. After a few appointments, she was still getting headaches so we are going back and forth to see what can be done to alleviate her eye strain. We'll keep checking in to it to see what we can do. In the meanwhile, she loves her frames.

Shoes

I snapped this silly picture one day when I was sitting on the front steps kinda feeling a bit like a kid. I got reflective about life and how no one wants to get hurt in life -- by other people or other things. These shoes made me smile because they are always my "stand-in", "comfortable", "friendly" shoes that don't hurt me. I loved the paper when I noticed it one day near the bottom of a stack of paper. After I finished the page, I moved the paper up where everyone could see it -- because it's "prettiful".

classics

We got this wonderful RockStar paper in at the store and I had to use it with a picture of Cal with his car. I thought it was wonderful together. It suits Cal since he loves classic rock, his car is a classic . . . you fill in the rest.
