Hide Me

This was such a cute picture with Theresa...I had to create a fun page for it. You ever have one of those days when everything just goes together great. I found this page to go together perfectly....I like the colors and patterns and layout. Good way to end the weekend.

Celebrate . . . Happy Birthday

It was my father's 76th Birthday on September 17. My mother, Faith, Ellie and I went to celebrate with him. We had some cake and chatted for awhile until he got tired. I don't know if there are any pictures of me with my dad anywhere, so i decided it was time to have one taken.

Dan Aykroyd

One day when I went to get something from the LBS, I noticed a poster saying that Dan Aykroyd would be there on the 14th of September. My phone reminded me that day, so I decided to go see if I could meet him. I waited in line for three hours...but it was so neat to sit beside him, get a picture and have some of his wine autographed.

Bailey

Just a few more pictures of Bailey. She is starting to get bigger...she is also quite a mischief that is into everything.

Floating Down to Earth

I took this picture the last time I was in Regina. Look it was warm, sunny and a beautiful day....that's a thing of the past. Used a new line of Basic Grey.

Jade and Bailey

I love this picture of Jade and Bailey. The paper worked very well with it and it is so delicate and beautiful.

Tattoo and Bon Jovi

Jade decided to get a tattoo for her Grade 12 Graduation like Faith did last year. She asked me to go with her...but I thought she'd get upset if I took a camera. I took these pictures with my cell phone to show her how much he had done and how much longer she had to go. She said it was the most excruciating pain she had ever felt. Her body was shaking and her muscles were spasming uncontrolably. She even bit me, she was in so much pain. However, in the end, she loved her tattoo and was glad she went through with the whole 4 hour process in one sitting...or she says it would never have gotten completed.

I got a newspaper after the Bon Jovi Concert and decided to scrapbook the pictures with the bag I got my t-shirt in.

Bon Jovi

Of course, being me...I had to take tons of pictures at Bon Jovi. It was an excellent concert and an excellent after-party. Is he not one of the most handsome men you have ever seen?

2010 Graduation

I just had to do a page of Jade's Graduation with her cap and gown. I am so proud that I now have two daughters that have officially graduated from highschool. Jade graduated from Bethlehem Catholic Highschool and was a part of the first ever graduating class from that school.

Faith's Girlz

Faith's puppy Ellie was whining a lot and seemed lonely, so when a friend of Mike's offered her a kitten, she jumped at the opportunity. Bailey is now a part of the family and her and Ellie get along excellent.

Roy's Gifts to Daniel and Emily

Roy and Daniel went to Disneyland this summer with Daniel's girlfriend's family. He wanted to do something for the two of them that was special. He came down last weekend and worked for the day in the backroom creating matching picture frames for each of them. I think he did a wonderful job.

'72 Mustang

I got one of my fixes satisfied when I went down to White City this summer. Roy drove his car around for awhile and then he let me drive. Whoa Mustang....love the sound, love the power and love the era.

Friendship

Awhile ago, Roy wrote me this poem. I had to scrapbook it before it got crinkled or lost.

Grad Portrait - Canvas

Looks like I may end up with a wall of Graduation Canvases (sp?) There always seems to be one picture that stand out for me...so I have decided to make them into Canvases and put them up in my place.

Sisters Friends

I think out of all of the Grad pictures this year, the girls all like this one the most. It is three sisters that love and care about each other and two that are so happy and proud of the third one. I do have absolutely beautiful daughters don't I?

Friends & Royisms

Roy can take the best pictures of us. I guess it's his long arms...and he has talent...I think he's done it before. This picture was taken at Jade's Graduation Ceremony. I seem to have a lot that look the same...just taken at a different time. I thought it would be fun to just make a page of the things that make Roy and I bestest friends.

The next page is my tribute to Roy and his English Royisms that confuse me on a daily basis. Every once in awhile he will say something that totally confuses me. These are usually terms from the U.K. that he hasn't Canadianized to yet. My favorite is when he says "Wha?" instead of "What?". I have incorporated that into my vocabulary now. And I got to use the new Basic Grey line on it.

Henna

While all of my daughters are getting pierced and tattooed, I went out on a limb and got a henna tattoo while I was in Regina. While it only lasted a week or so...I know that is about as long as I want anything to stay for right now. I may change my mind in the future...but for now this was enough for me.

Jade's Graduation Album

I made a graduation album for Jade very similar to Faith's. I stamped and color blended all of the 30 pages to make my own patterned paper. I embellished and placed the album on a stand so she can look at whichever pictures she wants to whenever.

Family Ties

Lucas got this tie for Gido's Funeral and Jade's Graduation. It only lasts so long though...so it ended up anywhere else after the ceremony. Lucas Rambo...and Faith just being Faith.

Life is Beautiful

This is Faith and Mike at Jade's Graduation Ceremony. Mike yelled Jader's name when she went to get her diploma. Quiet Mike...who would have thought?
