Catch Up

Where does the time go? I had big plans to blog everyday or at least every other day..... oh well. What has been happening in my world?
I took 3 weeks holidays during Christmas. I know those of you who know me are thinking well you just work from home... For those who may not know me or are new to my blog I have a little hair salon in my home. Most years I am doing Christmas hair do's till the 23rd or 24th. This year I took time for me and my family. I had all my evenings free to spend with Ray and the Kids. Ray booked 2 weeks off during Christmas so we really just spent time reconnecting as a family. With it being so cold we didn't even leave the house most days. It was nice.

What's new since New Years?
The kids have been busy with school and homework. I went scrapping one Saturday with so0me friends and still need to add a few little finishing touches to the pages. I have a layout currently on my desk that has been there for almost 2 weeks and I just haven't had time to get to it. I have been busy with clients wanting a new do for the new year. My goal was to slow down my life but that doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon. :) We are starting to talk about what we want to do for summer holidays. The kids want to go camping again this summer and I am sure this will happen but Ray suggested driving to BC again this year. The last time we did this we had 3 kids, Blaze was 5, Wolfgang was almost 2 and Kayne was 5 month's and we drove a Neon. Want to talk about cramped quarters? This trip we will have 4 kids, Blaze is 10, Wolfgang will be 7, Kayne will be 5 and Ruby-Jean will be 4 and we now drive a Grand Caravan. I am sure we will still be loaded to the max but I am sure it will still be more spacious than the car was.
We have had so much cold weather that I am really looking forward to summer and a few holidays spent on a beach somewhere.

Keep checking back as I will have some new pages posted soon.

You bet it is sure COLD out! When your door locks keep freezing up and you have to blow dry them with a blowdrier to beable to open or close your door that is bad. Some days like this morning me and Dillon went out and when we came home I couldn't unlock the door as it was frozen shut..I was scared to keep forcing the key for fear it would break but it was soo darn cold I had to get us in the house somehow. We did get in, finally, but that is bad!!

I love the picture of Kayne just enjoying the day. I knew I didn't want this layout to have a "little boy" feel to it but I didn't know what direction to go either. I definitely don't mind stepping out of my comfort zone so I tried some of Wilna's paint it mentality. I am not sure yet if I like the layout but I don't hate the results so I guess that is good. I will try painting again on future layouts as I did have fun creating this one. The chipboard letters have crackle paint,perfect pearls ink and glossy accents.

The Fall Issue of Canadian Scrapbooker is out!!!! It's on the shelves....run don't walk to get your copy.  I am so excited to be featured  in the Passport to Creativity!!! What an honour.I freaked to put it mildly when I opened that email. :) :)  These are the 3 LO's that I created for the issue. I stressed over my Bio and felt a little "nerdy" answering my interview questions, but when it's all said and done I am very proud of how it all looks and reads. I want to send a big SHOUT OUT to my friend Karen of KMP Photography for doing my head shots and scraproom photos too. Bird Call was created with Bo Bunny and some vintage goodies. I used my hole punch distress technique to finish it off. I wish I could Freeze Time consists of Graphic 45 and some yummy Tim Holz items. Toes is my last page. It has Basic Grey and my all time favorite photo of 2009. Now who else was is this magazine????? How about checking out my friend Kate ...she was featured in Pas...
