Wow, two posts in one day :)

Here is the link to my first completed scrapbook, I'm also doing a second book similar to this for another member of the family, but his fave colors are red and black. And his won't have the flowers in it.

What an Autumn, and heading into winter

So I have mostly settled into my new place. Well all my scrapbooking and cardmaking stuff is unpacked...that counts doesn't it? lol

I have started a new job and love it an the people I work with are awesome, we work hard and we laugh everyday.

I am applying for a DT call for Use It Tuesday, first time ever applying for a DT but keeping my fingers crossed.

September was busy, got to see my KU assertive pursuant friend Karen up in Red Deer and we got to see Keith in Calgary....again best show ever. This man gives it his all everytime.

My other KU loving friend Steph got to meet and chat with our boyfriend Keith, and Karen was there too. Of all the people I know, I am soo happy that Steph got to see him up close again. She is tirelessly devoted to making sure The Joyful Heart Foundation makes it into Canada! She is one of the people that is going to be the change we all need to see in the world, it's an honor to know her and thank you KU for bringing us together.

I have been going to my crop nights at Michaels with some of my friends, taking some great classes, finished the paper bag book class and coming up in a few weeks I have the Tim Holtz inspired tags. And have done a cardmaking night with Stampin Up and have another one of those coming up at the end of this month too.

I am excited that so many of my nights out involve friends and crafting and music too :)

And since today is Remembrance Day.....thank you to all of those have served, are still serving and will continue to serve. My friend Chad Horn made the ultimate sacrifice when he served and was killed just days before we was being sent home but as the tattoo on his back said "For those I love, I will sacrifice" Remembering you today and always Chadwina <3

Wow....I am not great at keeping updated

It has been far too long since i've updated my blog. I think it's time to make time to take care of this and hopefully I will have more to share as I scrapbook more and make cards more often.  It's that bit of time I need to have for myself :) I recently did start and finish and entire scrapbook for a friend, it was only an 8x8, but what an amazing feeling when it was done. And the person that received it loved it so much she cried.

I will update again soon as I do have pics of the scrapbook this time and I'm just in the process of starting a brand new job and moving into my own place. Nothing like major life changes all at once..haha

Hope your long weekend is fabulous and filled with lots of memories and laughter and friends and family :)

Quick Post of Some Amazing Songs

I met this amazing lady a couple of years ago when a dear friend of hers did a concert here in Calgary.  The quality isn't the best as she has just found these copies of older recordings, that she thought had been lost.  But the songs are so amazing and truly a wonderful performer.

Off to bed so I can be ready to get all the stock out at work tomorrow.  After my lay off in May from my office job, I found a new job back in retail.  But since I love arts and crafts the place I work is awesome, Michaels! And it's Christmas already in our store and I actually love it!! Got to fill up the baking grids today and the gingerbread house stuff, and sooo many Christmas ornaments and flowers.

Have a great Monday everyone!!

Away for too long, but back now.

I can't believe how fast time has flown and how little time I have for the things I love since starting my new job in June.  Since I start work so early in the day I am calling it a night around the same time my two year old niece goes to bed...LOL But 3:30am comes very very early.

I have recently been doing some blog hops and gettting all kinds of amazing inspiration and ideas for cards and Christmas ideas.  Time to be back to blogging and making some time for the creative fun things that I've let slip over the last few months.

Can't wait to start being involved in things and challenges and Pink Saturday and I'm sure numerous other new blogs and ideas as well.  Hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween and that November has started well for everyone!!
