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 :)

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.

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.
