Secret Peeps Struck Again!!!

I'm a little behind here, been a busy time for the past little bit. Keegan and I headed up to the lake on July 28, and while I was packing the van I found a package in the front seat of my van. Very cool delivery!! A very nice nightgown, cats puzzle, cat car magnet (which is on my fridge cause I don't want to lose it), some very cool spa socks, gum and 2 scrapbook organizer plastic envelope things!!! YES, I am spoiled ROTTEN!!!




Then, this morning, August 9, I was spoiled rotten again. I went to open the front door and through my window saw a wonderful gift bag on my front walk :) Sneaky aren't they??? Anyway, The letter with this package is the song "My Favorite Things" and a note attached to that tells me the package contains a few of my favorite things ..... AND IT DOES!!!
Inside was a beautiful housecoat, scrapbook stuff galore, the cutest little notebook and a bath set with lotion, bath gel etc, that smells very very yummy :).
Alas, though, no hints this time ..... although I seriously have my theories and will see if I am right eventually :)




Thanks Secret Peeps ....... YOU ROCK!!!!!

My Secret Peeps are Getting Very Very Brave ...


Had a delivery in the middle of the afternoon right onto my front step, while I was in the house!! Went to walk past my front door and sitting on my step is a big basket full of great stuff!!!!!!! I don't know who you are Secret Peeps, but you have excellent taste!!!!! Attached to the top of the basket with a huge clothes pin was a note that said "Laundry is not fun but you are" Inside there was great smelling Tide (vanilla and lavendar mmmmmmmm), Bounce (that also smells good), a few laundry helpers, clothes pins, dish towels and cloths. There were also several packages wrapped in tea towels .... these wonderful people gave me the most beautiful dress that is so comfortable on!! A Nike t-shirt (never ever had one of those before), underwear and some great socks, along with 5 more of these fantastic huge clothes pins (I already have some ideas for these awesome things)




This picture of course does not do these clothes justice. The dress is so beautiful!!

I have said this before, but have to again .... my secret peeps really are the bestest .... I don't have a clue how I am ever going to thank them once I get this all figured out!!!!!

My Secret "Peeps" Have Struck Again!! Or ....

Maybe I should say "stuck" again!!! Today (July 17) I found a bag hanging from my mailbox. They were up pretty early because it was there before 8 am :). Anyway, inside was a box full of 'things that stick'!!! There was the cutest card with a parrot on the front, (this is the second use of birds ... a clue??? lol) and the letter inside asking if I had figured out who they are yet or if I am "stuck". They are not only AWESOME, but they are pretty witty too :)

Inside the box was all kinds of glues and adhesives, along with some sticker type things ..... The whole box ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have ya ever seen so much 'stuff ya stick with'???


Isn't he a cute little bird??? Hmmmmmmmm Birds of a Feather?????

Ooooooooh Secret Admirers ..... You Are Awesome!!!!!!!

My secret admirers struck again this weekend. We found this package in the backyard when we got home from the lake tonight!!!! This time they have all written something to me .... I have studied the note and studied the note. Some writing looks familiar and then it doesn't, I have to admit though, I am not really good at recognizing handwriting :(. Anyway, this cute little gift bag, along with the note also contained a tin box with a Michaels Gift Card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You so much Secret Admirers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL figure out who you are!! lol

I bought paper and paper :), 3 photo boxes, some cool primas and 3 little notebooks that I couldn't resist!!!

Trip to Candle Lake

The last time I blogged I posted about receiving a Timmy's Gift Card in the mail that morning from my secret admirers. Keegan was quite thrilled with this, as I told him that he could have his first Ice Cap on the way to the lake. I, of course had to take pictures of him enjoying his drink courtesy of my secret admirers :)


So, we had a wonderful weekend at the lake. I scrapbooked teacher gifts and cards, read my new magazines :), fished (Trevor and Brian caught fish, Keegan and I were skunked!), canoed (finding some forgotten muscles ouch), had a campfire with some great friends and basically just enjoyed some family time at the lake.
Candle Lake is so beautiful. I took this one from the canoe.
Keegan's catch of the day was fishing line and a hook :)
Even after all the years going to Candle Lake, I still have to take pictures of deer whenever I see them :)
This is my brother Trevor with his catch of the day. I was too busy with the net and getting Brian's fish off the hook and onto the chain, I didn't get a picture of his lol.

My "Secret Admirers" :)

Well, it seems I have some secret admirers :) Gotta tell ya, whoever they are THEY ROCK!!! It is driving me crazy trying to figure it out, but I am feeling very spoiled and very special :)

First, on the 12th, I received an awesome fruit basket from Blossoms Florists. It had some awesome stuff in it :) It was signed "Have a wonderful day Love your secret admirer" The basket was so full of all sorts of things and the chocolate .... oh the chocolate was soooooooo good :) Of course the fruit and everything else was too lol.




Then on Saturday, the 13th, Keegan found a package in one of our outside chairs. It was wrapped in Christmas paper and the note was "We wish you a merry weekend, We wish you a merry weekend, We wish you a merry weekend and a whole lot of fun. From your secret admirers" Inside the package was an awesome scrapbook kit from Colorbok, which is great stuff :) I have plans for some of it already :) Keegan is so into the mystery it is too funny. I was quite a proud scrappin Mommy when, as I was taking pictures, he said "Mom you need to scrapbook this" lol.



Tonight June 16, Keegan and I were at his school, then on errands and Brian went to the library to clean up a very high fine (but that's a whole 'nother blog lol). Brian went into the backyard and almost sat on this wonderful gift bag full of awesome surprises! The note says "The word on the wire is ..... You're going away this weekend! Enjoy this fun pack! Love your PEEPS (secret admirers!!!!!!!!!) Inside this bag was another scrapbook kit which is fantastic! Three magazines ... Canadian Scrapbooker, which is one of my faves, Scrapbooks Etc, another fave and Crafts and Things which is a crafting fave for all kinds of stuff!! There was also this really cool kit I have never seen before .... it is called Freeze Squeeze ... 8 tubes of different flavored liquid, you add alcohol, shake, freeze and enjoy :) Some yummy yummy flavors in there too!!! Then there was also Bits and Bites, beef jerky, gum, spitz and Nibs :) Keegan is all excited about some of that stuff!!! lol.



Anyway, I am feeling so thankful and so very special and I can't wait to find out who has been pampering me :) Thanks Secret Admirers!!!!!!!

The Bikini Boys Did It Again!!!

The Heel and Wheel A Thon for Crohns and Colitis Research was alot of fun again this year! It is always a great visit with my friends Lori Ann and Murray and their awesome kids Clay, Rayner and Shylo :). We could have done without the rain downpour, but at least the walk part was over for them before that.

Now the coolest part ... last year if Clay and Rayner raised a certain amount of money, they would wear awesome pink and brown bikinis in the walk. Well, they more than surpassed their goal raising around $7,000.00!! Needless to say they wore the bikinis their Mom picked out for them!

This year, these 2 amazing boys and their parents cooked up the scheme to wear dresses if they reached a certain amount of money raised. AND their Dad would join them if they raised even more ..... well, they raised $12,481.00!!!!! Needless to say, their Dad joined them this year .... they all wore dresses for the walk! (I am posting their pictures with Mom's permission) :)

Don't they look awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of them! They won first place for amount of pledges in the group catagory :) Way To Go Guys!!!

I have to share a couple pictures of their youngest, who decided that playing with my son Keegan was fun :)



Then decided posing with her lollypop was also a cool idea :)
Isn't she the cutest!!!

Then there were these people there with the coolest birds. I only took pictures of 2 of them, but I had to share those too :)



In all, there was about $60,000.00 raised for this very worthwhile cause! Was a fantastic afternoon, even with the rain!
