Today I was able to post my second Inspiration for APOS. My inspiration was to celebrate summer with a far out an too cool summer layout using som psychodelic colors and incorporating a black and white summer themed photo. Here is the completed layout.

First Cookbook Club

I had the first cookbook club class last night and had a great time. I would like to thank Debbie, Jennifer, Jane, Yvette and Cassie for attending and being such great students. Because of their skill and determination we were able to complete at least a dozen pages. As the pages progressed each of them was able to put their own touches on the books and make them individual which I absolutely love. We will be completing the books on July 5th and I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Cookbook Club

I was finally able to get some photo's of the first two installments of the Cookbook Club and wanted to share them with you. The first is a RETRO STYLE Cookbook and the classes for this one will take place on June 21st and July 5, 2011:

The second is a HERITAGE STYLE and takes place on August 17th and 30th 2011:

I am soooo excited about these classes. Come by Creative Scrapbooks and see the completed books.

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.

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.
