Good Day everyone,

I am so happy to announce that I have also been chosen to be on the Design Team for Creative Scrapbooks here in Edmonton, Alberta. I am thrilled. In addition to hosting monthly Late Night Crops I have also started the COOKBOOK CLUB. JOin us on June 22, 2011 and July 5, 2011 to complete a 17 page cookbook which will allow you to insert your own recipes. The COOKBOOK CLUB will be an ongoing event in which you will be able to complete a cookbook in a two evening classes. Each cookbook will be theme based. The first is a RETRO COOKBOOK, which will be followed by a HERITAGE COOKBOOK. Stay tuned for photos, or better yet come to the store as the Retro Cookbook is currently on display behind our till area.

Good Day

Today is a good day. It is supposed to be plus 23 here and I am so looking forward to spending as much time outside as possible. I have been outside for a bit, and determined very quickly that there is no need to do your hair, it is a windy, warm, refreshing day.

I actually had time to take part in a Challenge posted by one of the other IT team members, Tams.

Her Challenge was in honor of the Royal Wedding. It was to include something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

Here is my take on her challenge:


I have to say it is an honor being part of the Inspiration Team at APOS, and I am so lucky to have other team members there to inspire me.

Good day everyone. I am more than pleased to announce that I have been selected as an Inspiration Team member for A PILE OF SCRAP, which is a scrapping store or rather community based in Fredericton New Brunswick. I am soooooo excited. I am actually just preparing for our first meeting and am looking forward to getting started on this new adventure. I hope you will join me.

April 23, 2011

Good Day All,

Sorry I havent' updated the blog in a while but again I have been quite busy.

First off I would like to say that today is my Anniversary. It has been 365 days since my last cigarette, and I feel good. I would like to say great, but unfortunately at the beginning of March I found out that I had cancer. It was in my right kidney. On April 6 I had my kidney removed so I am currently recovering. I don't find out until May 19th if the Doctors have any further concerns about it, but I am thinking no news is good news. I will try not to dwell on this but would not be very truthful if I said I am completely confident that I don't have to worry about it. I hope that I will be able to have that confidence on May 19th.

I haven't done much scrapping lately for obvious reasons, but have recently done a few pages. I am hoping that my motivation will increase as my enery returns.

Anyway it was nice to finally get back on line and at least put a few things behind me.

Good Afternoon All,

I have had a very busy and somewhat stressful last few weeks. Thank goodness I have scrapbooking as a release for the stress. I have scrapped about 15-20 layouts recently, which is a clear understanding of my stress level and would like to share some of them with you.


The first picture is of my eldest daughter and her friend in their first duet together. They did very well in all of the competitions.

The second is a picture of my brother, father and grandfather. This is a total scraplift from a friend of mine. I saw her layout and totally pictured this photo on it, so she gave me permission to scraplift it. Thanks Scrapfriggentastic.

The third is a layout with a photo of my mother on her 1st Communion Day. She is the second from the right.

And the final one is of me and my cousin both sporting new outfits that my Auntie bought us. The photo doesn't do it justice but they were both white lace and I loved mine.

Hopefully I will get another layout of two done this weekend, but we will see.

Til Later.

Good evening fellow bloggers,

Happy Family Day fellow Albertan's.  I hope everyone had a super long weekend and spent some absolutely wonderful family time together today.

Well is sure has been eventful in my life lately.  Most recently an extended family member was medi-vac'd to Edmonton due to a complication with a pregnancy.  On Thursday February 17, 2011 the world safely welcomed Isabella Angel-Feather Magun into the world. Although she was over six weeks premature she weighed a healthy 4lbs 8oz and is very healthy.
I also made birth announcements for them which I will have to add later because I forgot to take photo's of them before I gave them to the Mom and Dad.
As well I have been a scrapping fool. I did particpate in an online crop throughout this weekend and I created nine new layouts and only one was scraplifted.  I am partial to this one:


as well as:



I was also lucky enough to spend a very productive all day crop yesterday at my local scrapbooking store.  It was a very good weekend.

Next weekend is a full weekend crop, which I am so looking forward to.  I have two topic's I would like to focus on, so I will start planning and preparing for the weekend.

Tell next time.

I haven't had much time to scrap/craft this week as work has been very busy.  I am hoping I will sneak some time this weekend.  I do have some projects I would like to get done, so hopefully I will be successful.
