Well, haven't done so well keeping up with the old blog ... That's ok though, I have found something to help me blog more. I am going to start posting some of my scrappy creations here :) I am scrapping more and stepping out of my 'box' more, and really liking what I am creating, it's time to share :) In stepping out of my comfort zone, I have joined a competition. Supreme Scrap Tournament 2014. The first challenge is "1000 Steps From Home" A double layout of something within 1000 steps of home. There has to be at least 3 pictures and at least 50 words of journalling (which is NO problem for me lol) I instantly had an idea for this layout! I am doing a layout about my brother living down the street. The layout is due to be uploaded by February 6, 2014. Mine is almost done, just need to pick up the pictures and put them on and journal. I am really liking my layout so far. About 50% of the people will continue on the second round and I am so hoping I will be one of them :)

2013 My Life is a Work in Progress

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! WELCOME 2013!!! I have never done well with New Years Resolutions, so this year I am going to be a "Work in Progress" I have no idea what the year will bring, but I am going to do my best to keep on the right track, my health is counting on it. That means my family is counting on it. I am going to get healthier this year and I am taking my family along for the ride. I have awesome support for this journey and I need to make the best effort I can :) I started the new year off in a crappy way, with the flu (no pun intended), I am giving myself the time I need to get feeling better ... I am going to update my blog more often, may help keep on track :) I also want to do Project 365. So far just been pictures of the cats, but being sick I am not getting out of the house much the last couple of days. Here's to a New Year full of promise, there will be hard times, but I am going to try my best to make sure the good times out weigh the not so good times!!

The Olympic Torch Lights up Osler Saskatchewan!!

This afternoon, January 11, 2010 I pulled Keegan out of school for part of the afternoon, and Keegan, Danielle (my daycare child) and I drove out to Osler to take in the Olympic Torch going through town!! In Saskatoon we would never have gotten anywhere near the torch, if we would even have been able to see it, in Osler, I stood about 5 feet away from the Torch and runner and watched it go by. What an amazing feeling to be that close!!!

















Was truly an awesome experince!!!!!

Bad Bad Blogger ... and my Secret Peeps Updates

Ok, I am soooooooooo bad. I am far behind on my blogging, but I will catch up right now :). My secret Peeps struck again on August 14, and totally spoiled me!!!:)
This was sitting on my front step when I opened my door!!


Look at all these goodies!!!



Then on September 3, I received a fruit basket just like the first one that started this mystery, with the promise that "Soon I would know" :)
!!!:)


Spoiled again!!

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!!!!!
