Little yellow Bicycle....

No I haven't been out riding:)  This is the name of a scrapbooking company and I just completed a layout with some cute pics of Matt from a walk at a local park back in the fall.  The colours worked perfectly with the pictures...what do you think?  Although I believe I'll be taking another picture tomorrow when the sun is out!!

Virg arrived safely in Vegas last night and has "miked" me a couple of times...I'm sure he's sorry to be missing the falling snow :)  Victoria has 2 friends over for a sleepover and Ethan is out at the show with friends and will be home later so ....I still have the diningroom table taken over with supplies and am happily creating.

My first design team projects are done!!

Well....my first projects for Scrappy Chic are completed and some are posted on their website..yeah!! I'm hoping to head over there soon to deliver them and want to purchase some more items of Little Yellow Bicycle's twig collection.  I bought some papers when I was there last Friday but would like to add some embellishments.  I have pictures of little Mathew on a nature walk we took last fall at a local nature preserve area and they would go perfectly together.

Here's a couple of pictures of my projects:

The above is a mini of the Toronto distillery area we went to in early December..really happy with how it turned out!!

Close up and the full picture of myself and my sister when we were younger!!  It's funny looking at older photos...I can remember that lamp and even the flannel nightie I'm wearing :)

Hopefully the warmer temperatures they're promising will mean no more flannel for awhile...I'm ready for spring!

Heart Love

I have some Valenine's stuff out..not much...still trying to get the rooms done..not going very quickly LOL  Lily was SO cute today.  As we washed and then dried our hands she asked about the heart towel I had hung up in the bathroom that was there last week. SO cute how she remembered and told me she liked it:)  I told her it was in the wash...LOL

My design team meeting is tomorrow night...excited and happy that another girl just happens to live 2 streets over from me and we're going over together..yeah!!

Lily and I are watching Marmaduke on the couch, much too cold to be outside.  She also asked if I could go to Cinderella's castle with her...too sweet.  Love my Thursday girl:)

Design team excitement...

I'm SO very excited to have been chosen to be a member of the Scrappy Chic Design team!!  It's a very dreamy store full of scrapbooking goodies and beading supplies as well. I got the call on Friday afternoon as Victoria and I were getting ready for the Valentines dance for her school.  We'll be having a get-together meeting soon so I'll know more details after that.....yeah!!!

Now if only the sun would come back out.....

The sun is out..the sun is out!!!

Yes!  It may be cold BUT the sun is out LOL  Hoping this will put me in the mood to get more done around the house today.  I NEED to continue on the journey of getting the "rooms switched".  I dropped off more stuff to Sue today and will continue to purge my crafting supplies.

Saw this video on another blog...LOVE this idea!!

Another way to put my odds and bits in one spot:) 

Dropped off my frame, 2 minis, canvas and pages to Scrppy Chic on Saturday....keeping my fingers crossed about getting on their design team.  It's my first time attempting something like this so we'll see...

Off to tidy up and get purging...wish me luck!

Baby it's cold outside!!!

Peek a boo!!!  Recognize this cutie?!  This is the last picture I have taken...back on January 6th.  It wasn't as cold out that day as it was today, thank goodness.  I can't believe it's been so long since I've updated here...the holidays flew by and I was quite sick and kept things pretty low key which really was a wonderful thing.  Now poor Ethan is fighting a sinus/cold virus that has been hanging around for almsot 2 weeks now.  His first exam is on Wednesday and hoping his first high school exam goes well.

I'm in the process (long) of trying to empty out my craft space and switch my room with Victoria's bedroom.  I have been happily purging and giving away many supplies.  I'm really keeping my word of the year "purpose" in my head as I clean up.

I have been working on some projects as I attempt to apply for a design team for a store in Michigan.  I'm also contemplating doing some projects for a few local craft shows along with my Thursday girls.  We really enjoyed our Christmas projects we did together and have more ideas for creating stuff.  We have our Valentines dance in a few weeks and have been helping with that as well.

On the agenda for this week....take some pictures:)  and try to continue working on that room...ugh

Travels and treasures

Here's a picture of my latest finds!!!  Love these 2 butter yellow suitcases I found this week....used picnik to create the cool effect on the photo.  Paid less then $9 for both of them and they are in MINT condition..yeah me:)  Although I'm tempted to bring them on my upcoming weekend away to NYC I believe they will be found in my studio as storage.

Virg has called 3 times from Vegas, he's having a great time and was going to a Chris Angel show in a few hours. I did ask him too if he'd like to borrow these for his trip as well...he declined LOL

I am doing a scrapbook album for a friend for her parents 50th wedding anniversary.  I completed 3 pages tonight and hope to drop it off to her tomorrow morning.  Hoping she'll like how they turned out and excited to continue working on more after I get the album back.

I have Grey's Anatomy taped...shall I watch it before bed???  Hope it was good.....
