Don't miss out!

I want that Slice!!! ;) I'm alone with Carter on Sunday...but Saturday...I'm SCRAPPING!

Frosty...

Carter made his first official snowman today! The weather warmed up considerably today, but heavy wet snow fell for a few hours - perfect for snowmen!

He's a little pathetic looking since Carter had no patience for making bigger snowballs, but overall we did a not bad job. Carter named him Frosty (how original!)

Poor Frosty probably won't make it through tomorrow...he's already melting! Supposed to be up past 20 degrees (70F) by Friday....here's hoping!

I WON!

It pays to visit other blogs and to participate in contests! Last month I was sooo excited to win 3 Copic Markers from Leah's blog, and last week Ally told me I'd won her monthly blog candy - a set of stamps from My Stamp Box!

Thanks a million to both Ally and My Stamp Box! They came in the mail today, and I can't wait to use them. What awesome stamps!
For your chance to win make sure to visit Ally's blog at: http://www.yourmemoriescanada.blogspot.com/

I am also a big fan of her sketch site...totally rocks!:

...AND since I am a big fan of Paying it Forward, when I get back home I'm going to have a giveaway on my blog too! :)

I just don't get it...

Carter has spent more time on his vacation watching this show - In the Night Garden. He used to love it when we lived in Montreal. Daddy and Carter watched it every night before bed. TOTALLY do not get it though...such a dumb show. They don't even speak real words.

Still loves it though. Iggle Piggle (the blue guy) is his favorite. Nancy and I *almost* broke down and bought him an Iggle Piggle Doll that blinks and plays music at Walmart last week. Seeing this pic I feel kinda bad I didn't break down...

At any rate, Canadian "Treehouse" ROCKS over American "Sprout". No commercials, longer shows, better programming - save this show! LOL. I miss it....

It's stilllllll snowing!

Well, the weather here in Calgary hasn't been any better...in fact, it got worse! Today several centimters fell and actually stayed on the ground. We had to break out the shovels. Carter was in 7th heaven though!

Making snow angels!

Coming back inside to warm up with hot chocolate and a movie. Carter and Nancy!

Cards!

I've been making a lot of cards while I'm in Calgary. My mom has been working on her Christmas cards, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon and make some too! Didn't hurt that Scrapbook Sally is closing (always sad to hear about an LSS closing, but a good time to cash in on sales). I got all my cardstock for 10cents!! Sweet! Wish I could bring more luggage home - I'd stock up!!

I love this one. I made this holiday version, and the cat version below for all occassion - I put diamond glaze over the windows so it looks like glossy panes.

Pretty simple overall, but now I have a few more for my stash at home, and a few more to sell as well. (Sorry for the crappy pics...best I could do here).

Don't forget, if you need a custom card made, or desire a bday card etc let me know. I have TONS of premade cards for sale. I also do custom work for invites, announcements, Christmas and more. Cards generally retail for $3 each or $30 for a dozen. I do have a few that range up to the $5 mark, and a few that are less. I can do custom work within your budget :)

For my Bay Area readers/friends I am planning a November Open House to sell some of my cards! Stay tuned for details :)

It's SNOWING!!!

Can you believe I'm updating? :) Oops! I've been busy...and I'm actually not even at home!

Carter and I are in Calgary hanging out with my parents and Nancy while Steve went on a business trip to Denmark - lucky duck! He's on his way back home, but Carter and I decided to stay a bit longer since this week is also Canadian Thanksgiving.

Not been doing too much while I'm here - visiting, making tons of cards with my mom (pics to come), chillaxing, and playing with Carter. Today was fun, my cousin Colleen and her three girls, along with her mom came down from Edmonton and we all had lunch. I haven't seen them since my wedding over 5 years ago. It was the first time they met Carter too!

Here are a few pics of what Carter enjoys the most while here. It's SUPER cold here, and it even snowed a bit - can you believe it?? Carter hopped right into his snow gear though and made the most of it. Luckily what you see on the ground is the most that fell! brrrrrr....

Nothing like sharing seasons...mowing away the snow!
Catching snowflakes on his tongue! Wow....snow.... :)

Oooh, looked at all the snow I scooped up! (This one is slightly blurry since I was a bit afraid that snowball was coming my way!)

Tomorrow we are off to Banff National Park to celebrate Thanksgiving! Should be lots of fun - the place where we're staying has waterslides and a huge indoor play area with tunnels and climbing things. I'll take some pics :)

Happy Thanksgiving!
