Me and my sweet boy on Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all my mommy friends! Hope you're having a great day! Here's a layout I did for the Nook contest for my All About Me album. A photo of Carter and I on my first Mother's Day! We drove to Ottawa for the day and went to the Tulip Festival there. So fun!
(The layout has a lot of 3D elements on it, so the shadow at the top is from the scanner...sorry)

Carter had tons of fun at the birthday party this morning. Actually I did too - so much to do, great food, and great friends! This is Carter with one of his best buddies - they're all into the hugging phase...so cute!
Carter and Mom on the train. Carter is obviously thinking "let's just GO!"

Carter tells me this is his "Cowboy Face"


and last but not least, what could be better - pizza, a cowboy hat, and a train ride all at once!



Busy Day!

No scrapbooking for me today...it's a busy one!

We're off to a birthday party for Carter this morning. Should be very fun - a farm themed party with pony rides, petting zoo, and more. I'll take photos! For only living here for 6 months, my little boy sure is popular - he's already been to several parties. He's already asking when it's his birthday! :)

This afternoon/evening I'm headed out with my friend Gina for an early Mother's Day treat for both of us - a girly night out! Chick flick, dinner, and a few drinks. Should be very fun!

Tomorrow I'm getting spoiled some more! Steve and Carter are taking me out for brunch.

Happy Saturday! :)

Here are some of the layouts I've done for the contest so far (and, ahem, it might be a personal contest for me to see if I can get the images inserted in here properly!)
Most of my energy today has been taken up by a certain 2 year old who once again is sick! Where he picks up all these colds I don't know...sigh.

I did manage to squeeze in a little scrapbooking time though (while I should have been cleaning the house). I joined a 5 week long contest over at the Scrapbook Nook (http://www.myscrapbooknook.com/) a few days ago. We're only a few days in and already the competition is pretty intense. The winner gets a 6month DT contract there! Since leaving the DT at Scrapbook Star (http://www.scrapbookstar.ca/) last fall I've missed the DT comraderie as well as the challenge of working with a kit each month. I'm not-so-secretly hoping I might get the DT spot, or at least one of the guest spots...but really, there is some talent out there, and I know deep down I'm probably just participating for the fun of it. At least I'll get some layouts done!

Here Goes Nothing...

I've been telling myself to start a blog for a pretty long time! I've even attempted it once or twice. Well, here goes nothing...I really did it this time!

Now I make no promises on actually keeping this updated, but here's my little spot on the web to share stories, photos, and more with you!
