Friday !

Popping in for a quick post.
It has been wonderful and sunny all week.
What a treat for the first week of March.

I actually scrapped 2 pages this week,although this isn't one of them...

I made this one last weekend.I've been dying to use that tartan paper !

That's it,all I have for today :)

Monday

New week.
New month.

The Olympics are over and I watched way more of it than I thought I would.
I got totally sucked in to all of it except the cross country stuff,that just seems like torture on 2 legs !
As for the Canada V US hockey game yesterday....I had to walk away on a couple of occasions...nail biting.
14 gold medals...Way to go Canada :)

I fully intended to post Friday but we had crazy windy weather and my power was off and on all day.
So another month over for my 365 photo challenge,some of my favourites in my header.
I am slowly getting back into scrapping again.
The roll of January didn't last into February.
I'm feeling stuck in a rut.
Anyway,these are 2 from last weekend I made using my 365 photo's from January,Ad's...

and Ol's...

Used the same sketch just flipped it,I'm so lazy !

Well it's spring break here and we've a few things planned but hopefully I'll have a new page or two to show on Friday.

Mmmmmmmmmm !!

Blogging et moi do not seem to be getting along in 2010.
I apologize,since I do believe some people actually do read it !!!!!
No real reason why.
Life's just plodding along.
Every one's fine and dandy.
I was actually surprised to wake up to a few inches of snow today...fancy that,snow in Quebec,in winter,who'd have thought ;)

No scrapbook pages to share but hopefully next week as I have scrapping on the agenda this weekend.

I do have a few cards to share since February is full of birthdays.....


and these 2...

I actually pulled out the ribbon box....it was rather dusty,sitting up on that top shelf.
And this one...


Which leads me nicely into this,which i think I will try and scrap this weekend...
My photo from Monday,it was a slight cheat being 12 instead of 1 but I don't consider that really cheating !
My 365 photo a day project is still going strong although I am longing for spring for some new inspiration.
I want to try and get a photo each month of my boys,to compare them all at the end of the year...


Ad is my reluctant subject at the moment so I was glad to catch this one when he came home from school this week...although I'm sure he could have pulled that hat down further !

Oh and thank you Moe for your lovely comment :)

It's Fridaaaaaay !

A quick pop in,while I drink my coffee.
I've an Ikea bookcase to build and frames to be filled with photo's...yes,nearly a year later and I am trying to finish up Ad's room.
I was good too yesterday on my Ikea trip..only bought what was on my list,nothing else slipped in the cart...amazing !

Fairly quiet weekend planned here,a few jobs around the house need seeing to.
Ad's off skiing with friends tonight and won't be home until tomorrow.

I made a couple more layouts this week...

Another one starting off using just the BG sticker sheet...ended up adding some other bits though.No journaling since it will be with my other Halloween pages that say it all really,I just liked the pictures !

Excuse the cr*ppy merge here I'm too lazy to do it again !

It should click bigger.I'm catching up with photo's from the summer.I have actually added journaling to this one,along the bottom,I wasn't going to too but after looking at it on the computer decided I should.

OK well I got a batch of photo's from Costco yesterday so hopefully I'll get some more scrapping done this weekend,got to keep that roll going.

New week,new month.

January was pretty quiet around here.
That's not a bad thing !
February is looking a little busier.

One month down in the photo a day for 2010.
Good days,can't find any inspiration days,nearly forgot days....but I have taken something everyday.
It's hard when you virtually do the same thing day in day out and there's nothing inspiring outside the window,especially since January was so dull but I am going to keep doing it.
Weekends seem to be my hardest days for some reason.
I put some of my favourites from January up in my banner...I think I'll do that every month.

Both boys had friends for over most of the weekend,so they were happily entertained.
So I managed to get some more scrapping done...

This one,I've had the photo's printed since June but never got round to using them until now.Ol with his toothless grin,which is now completely gone.

This was another,the photo's were just sitting there...

I couldn't find the right papers so kept putting it off but the BG Origins was perfect.

Back later in the week with more pages.

Later than I planned...

...but my Friday post is here.
And,I have a page,my first one of 2010!
I was feeling very uninspired so I asked my friend Julie to set me a challenge.
It was to use only photo's,a title and one of those Basic Grey sticker sheets.
The result...


Simple but I like it.
I love this Origins line....I pop dotted the bigger sticker,it was too flat just stuck down!
I'm going to remember this for whenever I'm stuck for an idea,talk about quick and easy.
Then I actually made another page.
Then I started a third,maybe just maybe I am on a roll again :)

Hopefully back Monday,with more pages and a bit of a catch up.
I'm off to keep warm...it's freezing :)

Coming soon...hopefully!

Regular blogging!
I just haven't been in the mood to blog.
Nothing worth sharing...just everyday run of the mill stuff.
No scrapping has taken place.
So I'll post the remaining unseen ones from last year.
One I started on NSD last May....

An older one for Ad's album...need to start working on this again.

One from October...


And this one that I started back in October but didn't finish up until December...

Which looks really washed out for some reason.

Hopefully I'll have something new to share next week.

Well it's a cold fresh morning out there and I think,perhaps,just maybe the sun may shine today........at last!

Can we...

...just an an itsy bitsy show of sunshine.
I dislike snow.
I dislike freezing temperatures.
The only thing that gets me through winter is the sun and blue skies.
Neither of which I have seen for days.
It makes me grumpy :)

I am so far enjoying taking my photo a day...despite the lack of sun.

The boys finally went back to school yesterday and I've played catch up on errands/groceries/cleaning ever since.
Nothing much happening this weekend and nothing wrong with that at all.
Most likely some skiing for the boys.
We also heard a friend is in town,who we haven't seen since we left the UK,so that should be fun,catching up.

I haven't scrapped.
I have been backing up photo's though.
Whilst doing that I found some layouts from last year I never posted.
So I'll post a couple of those since I have nothing new to share...


Super simple one.
I'd been wanting to get this story down for a long time.
Title says it all really !
That was Ol's reaction when he finally got the frog back in his possession.
It's a long story.
With a happy ending......thank goodness.
We have not lost the frog since !!

This one has pictures from '08...


It was in the October issue of BHG and was one of my favourites from last year.

OK thats all I have for today.

Hello 2010 !

The last 2 weeks have just flown by.
It's been nice and relaxing with lots of time for just the 4 of us.
The only busy thing we did was drive to Craig and Nic's Christmas morning to spend a few days.....first time we have spent Christmas with any family members for 4 years.
The weather was kind of weird and not the greatest to get out and about in,which is a shame when there is so much to explore.
Michael and Brad got quads for Christmas,so Ad and Ol had a little go on those.
I even had a go,kind of fun,but Nic has the photo evidence of that.

We did see a couple of porcupines up a tree and plenty of tracks of various other wildlife !
We walked out to the swamp,which was being to freeze over,lots of stuff to take pictures of !!
Since then we've taken it easy.
Boys have seen a few friends,been skating and sledging.
New years eve was just the four of us,sushi dinner and movies.

I'm not one for making resolutions or any of that kind of thing but I am definitely going to make even more use of my time this year.
Spend it wisely.
I feel towards the end of last year I wasted a lot of time.
All in all I am looking forward to 2010.

Anyway it feels good to get all the Christmas stuff down.
That prompted a grand old tidy up and clear out yesterday that has been continuing today.
That has of course left a huge expanse of wall in my dining room that I have to find a cheap solution for !
The boys are still off school until Thursday.....then I can get back to completing my long overdue sofa covers and cushion making in peace.

I haven't scrapped since before Christmas and not sure there will be time this week either but I am dying to get back into it....so many photo's just waiting.
I also need to sort out my albums.
I will post this 8x8 double page,one of 3 I made for Patti's birthday album...

I do intend to try and continue to post a layout every Friday.

I have also decided to do the 365 photo challenge,I'm posting those on flickr.
To keep it interesting for me I'm going to include a few simillar things each week.
I'm sure there will be photo's I love and photo's I hate but it's all about learning and trying to improve.
