Cards from a few years ago :)

Found some scans from when I used to remember to record what I made. I hadn't kept track for a long time and of course everything I made was for other people. :)

Found a picture I took of a birthday card I made for my son's gf at the time. I really need to remember to take pics as I make things and post them regularly :)

A Quiet Weekend

I got to spend all day and most of the evening scrapbooking and visiting with my co worker Tanya at her place.  It was great to work on things with someone else and have a really great visit and get to know even better someone I spend almost 40 hours a week with. I definitely lucked out when I applied for and got his job at Cheque Print. I love my job and the people I work with are awesome.
I got the first page done of my second "Timber" scrapbook for another member of his family and I got a couple of my tags done in my Halloween paper bag book, and a number of cut outs done on my friend's Cricut that I need for my scrapbook.
And now a quiet Sunday, laundry, dishes, take out the recycling the normal everyday stuff. Sometimes it's nice to have a quiet weekend before a busy week.
Coming up this week I have a Tim Holtz inspired framed art class, a crop day with some friends and maybe even a trip out to the Spruce Meadows Christmas market. And the weekend after a Stampin Up party to attend and spend at :)
And I think i'm putting up my Christmas tree early this year and decorating because I don't work at Michaels this year so i'm not sick of Christmas already...lol
Hope you all are having a great weekend!

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
