Bad Blogger!

I’d like to apologize for not having updated my blog in almost a month!  Where does the time go??  Since my birthday, there has been alot going on in my life.  I’m going through a rough time personally, so thank you all for your blanket prayers and good thoughts. 

I have this week off.  Needed to get myself together and organize my life and I’ve enjoyed spending this week at home.  I miss being a stay at home mom.  I loved so much to take care of my home and my kids – ahhh…but life has other plans.  :)  It’s sweet while it lasts.

Looking forward to Christmas again.  This year, the kids and I will be home…and I’ve invited Diane and Brenda to spend it with us.  It will be lovely to focus on family and not have to run around everywhere, trying to be at two places at once.  If anyone has nothing to do or nowhere to go, you are invited to my house!

I have not heard back from the doctor yet regarding the mass on my uterus.  They seemed to have mislocated my results, during their move.  SO…i am giving them a couple of days to find them, because I really don’t want to go have that internal ultrasound again!  I will let you know how it goes when I hear.  I have been having pain off and on but am alright.  I am hopeful that the mass is just a fibroid and is benign – but it is causing me trouble so I suspect it will have to come out.  :)  I’ll keep you updated.

I scrapped yesterday for the entire day.  Felt so good.  I love these family photos.  So…without further ado, here are my November Designs.  ENJOY!  Love you all very much!!  xo

By the way...MOM and DAD you should get Facebook!
It's easy to join. All you need is an email address and a password. 
Mataunte Anita is on there and alot of our other relatives - it's a fun way to keep in touch!  K...love you. Bye!

 

TGIF

It’s been a loooooooong week!!  I had to work overtime – you know the kind of work you DON’T like (at the office!).  That is why I was so excited to let my hair down, relax and unwind creating these projects.      Ain’t it scrumptious?!  Brenda…I can soooooooo see that box in your bedroom.  ha!

Here’s some close up pics of the box I made.  The bottom is made from Cardstock and the top you use patterned paper.  I went nuts with floral pieces I purchased from the Dollarama.  YES!!!  I love to shop for scrap supplies there!! 

Here’s another BLING layout I did.  I admit that most of the embellishments were not from the kit, but that flocked paper and cardstock are (so that counts right?)  :)  Inside that adorable little envelope is hidden journalling.  *Kind of like a prayer to God. 

This next layout is of the HERITAGE Post Office building downtown Ottawa.  I love this building…the architecture is amazing!!  We live in one heck of a gorgeous city!

This is a photo of  Dad when he was a little boy.  I’m guessing he would have been about 7 years old??  Anyways, I found this gem from when we did the Christmas DVD for Mom and Dad.  I’m really loving older photos lately!!  I can’t wait to scrap some more after I get my hands on some.  :)  Ain’t he cute??  When i was scrapping this I couldn’t help but think my kids look so much like him!!

AND this last layout is one of my  Dad also.  He was a teenager here…working in some type of store.  I believe he would have been about 15!  Here he looks like my brother David!


Well folks, thanks so much for looking!!  I really enjoyed making these and I couldn’t wait to share them with you.  Have a great weekend – I’ll be back on Monday!!  I am thinking I might post Jory’s speech on PHOBIA’s on Monday…stay tuned!!  It was really well written.  :)
