Progress

I am so happy, I have now figured out how to publish photo's on the blog.  Believe me this is a great achievement for me. 

I have also had the chance this weekend to take photo's of the majority of my projects to date and will now be able to post them.  I have an earlier post that refers to the cookbooks I have completed for my three daughters as well as my green eyed niece.  I am attaching photos of the covers of the books as well as samples of the pages within.

I have placed a picture of the person whose receipes follow.  The first pages of these books have photo's from my Great Grandmother,  which means that it is the girls Great - Great Grandmother.  I am so happy I have been able to do this for them.  It is my plan at this time to add to the books by at least one recipe for each birthday, Christmas or other important celebration in the girls lives.

Hope you enjoy.

This is a sample of cards I made for a Craft it Forward Challenge.

I have attached a sample of cards that I made for a Craft it Forward Challenge.  I am donating these cards to the agency, IHUMAN. This agency is located in Edmonton AB and assists inner city high risk youths.  I do have some interactions with the agency and am very confident that the youths will truly appreciate them.  I am so grateful that I have been able to participate in this challenge.

Happy New Year

Welcome to 2011 which promises to be a great year.  I have attached a layout I recently did regarding one of my greatest accomplishments in 2010.  I do not make resolutions, however I repeatedly told myself in 2010 that I would focus on quitting smoking in that year and focus on the weight issue in 2011.  Well guess what?  It's 2011.  I am not going to be fanatical about weight loss, just make some healthier choices and try to break some old habits.  We shall see how this goes.  It seems as though I am having some difficulty posting the photo of the layout.  I will try later on my home commutor.  Have a great day.

and another

Oh, I guess I will have four cookbooks to post, as my beautiful green eyed niece, batted her eyes at me last night and said "Oh Auntie, do you know what I would like for my birthday?..A cookbook."  So off to the local scrapbooking store to buy supplies to make one for her.  Gotta love her.

New Years Eve 2010

Good day all,

Well today is the last day of 2010 and I have to say it has been a very good year.  Here is a list of 10 reasons that 2010 was great.
1. Spent so much time with my family.
2. Re-evaluated my boundaries with work and established some healthy ones.
3. Got a new Hobbie:  Scrapbooking.
4. Met some great new friends because of my new hobbie.
5. Discovered another new hobby: Quadding.
6. Spent almost every summer and fall weekend at the cabin.
7. Reconnected with some very long distant relatives.
8. Quit Smoking
9. Talking better care of myself physically.
10. Discovered another great hobby, photography.
and one for good luck:
11. Reconnected with some children/youth/adults that aren't related to me but are very special to me.

Who could ask for anything more.

Wishing you all a safe , healthy and fun New Year.

Let's Start Again

Okay this time I am really going to get going on this blogging idea.  Maybe that can be one of many New Years Resolutions.

I have been given some wise advise and instructions from a dear friend of mine, so this should come much easier to me.  Since I have been given these wonderful instructions I can now post some of my projects that I completed.  I am so happy with the three recipe books I made for my daughters.  I am hoping to have time to post pictures of them soon. 

I am hoping everyones Christmas was as fantastic as mine.  My Santa (s) were very good to me and I now have numerous new scrapping toys to play with.  Along with new scrapping toys come reorganizing my temporary scrapping room though and I have vowed not to scrap until it is set up.  I am hoping to complete setting it up this evening.

Until next posting...Love Michelle
