{ Ahh...Calgon...take me away }

I could really use a nice hot soak tonight. Acky, tired, headache, crampy...don't mind me...just PMSing today!

I just love this Happy Hopper image. Too cute, eh? The inside of this card says..."Life is too short...to stress!" Too bad we all couldn't live by that rule, eh?

I was off volunteering today at the school. Last day of in-line skating for my youngest. Had to check it out. She was stressing all morning...more like crying and whining...that she did not want to go or go to school. We could not figure out what was up. We thought maybe she had been lying this wholetime and had not actually been participating. So I went...and she was fine. Her teacher thinks it was just the in-line teacher that was the trouble. He is a young guy and does not put up with too much from these kids. He would tell them something once and if they did not do it he started yelling at them. She had missed the first few classes due to our holiday, so when she came back, her teacher had told her to get her equiptment and come over beside her and she would help her put it all on. Well at that point all the kids had been doing it themselves and this young guy that is teaching the skating yelled at her to go back and do it herself. She is quite timid and I think he just got to her. After watching him today I was ready to yell at the guy myself. Oh well...she did just fine and I think she was having fun too. I will have a little talk with her tonight and I am sure she will be just fine.

Well the sun is starting slowly to make it back to Calgary! It is a bit breezy today, but at the sun has been out for most of the day. Tomorrow is suppose to get a little nicer...here's hoping!!

{ Wow! }

What a productive weekend I had! Lots of stamping done. Friday was our May Calgal(see sidebar) gathering and I actually made 2 cards and colored a new image too! That is not like me. Usually I spend the entire night coloring and not creating. Nancy put out a challenge this month to 'bling it up'. So here was my challenge card that I brought along.

I just love this Butterfly Swirls TAC set. The inside says...'to forget about your dreams." This was my first long card creation too. Can you believe that? I made a few more this weekend...but you have to wait for those.

Hope all my American friends are having a nice Holiday Weekend. And hope your weather is better than here in Calgary!! Still cloudy, cold and rainy here. Hoping today is the last of it. I think it has been about 7 days in a row now...enough! Bring back the sunshine and warmness!!

{ What the... }

Okay... so I change my template and now my pics are not clickable again!!?? I give up!!

{ Doing some changes... }

What do you think? Too boring? Wanted to change things up. This is now my happy place...camping!! My blog banner is a pic from one of our camping trips last year to Mt Kidd in the Kananaskis.

Okay, here is the last pic from my first adventures in scrap land. This is a page I did of our cat Jasper. I really like this layout. Might have to try this one again. After looking at these old ones, I know that I can do better. ;0)

{ So very happy...}

that David Cook won lastnight!! Sorry not stamping related, but I am just so thrilled that David Cook is the new American Idol. Never thought he would actually win, but so very thrilled! These were one and two of my favorite performances.


Be back later with something new... promise!!

{ What are you...}

listening to this morning? I downloaded the new BNL for the girls on the weekend. Today this is our favorite track...Allergies. Love this CD...even if it is meant for kids! Can't wait for the new 20th Anniversary Album coming out next year!

Okay, here is another of my first Scrap pages I did a few years back. This is of our puppy Josh. We lost him to prostate cancer a few years ago. He will always be my first child. ;0)

This is the third of only four pages I have ever done. Guess I must get busy and create something new for you all.

Have a great day!

{ It works!! }

I am just too excited! I have been struggling with my photos on my blog since I started. You have never been able to click on the photos to enlarge them...well now you can!! Thanks to Nancy! Someone else had posted this problem on SCS and they were told to place their photos on the side not centered and make them smaller. I did mine with the medium setting and on the side and it worked!! Yippeee!! Now I just have to play with the formats until I get them to set up the way I like them. Might have to try out a new blog template too to make it look the way I like...but at least the photos are clickable now!! Thanks Nancy!
