New Website

Hello faithful readers (Hi family and a select few others!)
I've started a new website to showcase the wonderful company I demonstrate for - Stampin' Up!
I'm so excited to group all the cardmaking and crafting together this way. You'll be able to check out all the super specials that are on right now, and see the projects I've completed. Take a peek at my calender if you'd like to join a class that is happening already, or to find a date to host your own workshop (and get great free stamps and products!!). The calender will be up and running soon! Let me know if I can help you get started making wonderful homemade gifts and cards!
Check it out soon and let me know what you think...

I will be keeping this blog for my own personal use. How fun!

I love these cards!!

I first saw the pattern for these cards here on Roxy's site and knew I had to make some. I absolutely love her site and visit it everyday!

Here is my take on them. I hope you love them, too!

Here it is closed. I opted for ribbon instead of a belly band, but either would work - and both are very cute!





When you untie the ribbon...whoo hooo!...another cute little layer. But...wait for the rest...

















Here is the inside - lots of room for a great big message! (Or a smaller one if you prefer...lol!)

Well, I'm off to make some more!

Can you do this?

Kai spent a whole day doing this. Everytime he caught your eye, down he'd go. Too funny!

I can't even remember the last time this wasn't painful!

The weirdest thing happened today...

I got home from taking Noah to school and there were no messages to be returned, or emails to be answered for work. I have a free minute!! How fun! It took me a bit to upload pictures from the camera, but now I'm good to go!

I'll share a few with you: these are some firsts from this summer:

Noah's first day of school at Donnan, hockey program, August 20th

A triathlon for Noah, Jessica and me. (I?) In Fort MacLeod on August 16th. We had a great time! You should join us next year!

Perry's new Camaro. I do like going for rides with him after the boys are in bed!

I'm going to do some small posts today so stay tuned for more!

Yummy, quick, and good for you part 2

Here's another quick recipe that we all liked:
1 lb lean hamburger fried then drained.
add 1 cut up pepper, 1 pkg taco sauce and 1/4 cup water. simmer.
mix together 1 Tbsp salsa and 1 tbsp FF sour cream.
put cooked pasta in a bowl, add some meat, top with some skim cheese then a dallop of salsa/sour cream mixture.
Yummy!

Hello!

The summer is just flying by! Is it that way for you, too? It's been almost a month since I posted and honestly it feels like days. I'm not even going to try and catch you up to what has been happening - We'd be here for hours! Just a few highlights:
-Ryan and Noah went to camps at the U of A and had a great time
-Cameron touches the tub at both ends when laying down in it - I'm pretty sure he's going to be the tallest of all the boys
-Kai is walking. weird.
-We bought a new van - 2007 Honda Odyssey. I'll admit I still get a little thrill everytime I go out to leave and see it there.
-Perry is making great progress on the front yard!!! He's the best!
-Costco has the new Stephenie Meyers book - Breaking Dawn - on for $13.99
-the new catalogue for Stampin' Up! should be here anyday now. Very exciting.

Have a great day!
