My Latest Work

I wanted to share with you some of the scrapbook pages I have made for the Scraptacular On-line Crop over at the Scrapping Turtle Forum. It has been a lot of fun. The Design Team came up with some really fun challenges and games and these are the pages I have done so far:








If I happen to get any more of the challenges done I will share them with you.

Thanks for looking

Lest We Forget

I took these photos of the ceremony at the kids school. What a moving ceremony, the kids did a fantastic job, I think it is great that they are learning about Remembrance Day and everything it stands for.

Playing with my Silhouette & a Freebie

I really haven't had much time to play with my Silhouette, but yesterday I attended a class over at The Scrapping Turtle with Lori. She taught us the basics like grouping, un-grouping, welding, and showed us a website with some free die cut files. One of the ladies in the class, had this really cute purse card, so this morning I was playing and designing and came up with this pretty close duplicate.



So I have decided that any files I will create, I will share. Go here to download the file.

I will also try to keep links to all my files here on my Blog, just as soon as I figure out how to do it!!!

Enjoy

My First Real Post!

Well here I am, in the blogging world, so now what? I post something, that's what. But what do I post, well I have decided to post little snippets of my life, however mundane they may be, hence the title of my Blog.

...so without further ado

This past weekend was absolutely gorgeous, the weather was in the high teens, sunny and warm, a great change from the cold, rain, and snow.

The girls went to Toronto with their Nana B to stay at their Aunt's house. While there they took in some sights like the CN Tower, Harbourfront Centre, but there main reason for going to the city was to see Cirque du Soleil's Ovo. I have seen two different Cirque shows, and they are fantastic, and I am told that this one is by far their best ever, if you ever have the opportunity to see one, I highly recommend it.

John was down in Turkey Point at the trailer this past weekend to finish more of the deck, so Colin & I decided to join him on Saturday. It was so warm there yesterday, in the low 20's, who would of thought to go to the beach in November. It was so peaceful and quiet, most of the seasonal cottages are closed as well as the seasonal restaurants, the lake was calm and beautiful in the morning. I managed a couple of pictures.

The Beach in November



Yes it is a bit foggy over the water, because the air was so warm and the water freezing!!

The new deck partly finished



and Colin in the park, they have the best playground there.
