Priceles...

Thursday was Rhys' first day of pre-school...oh how time flies by!!!

I started a family tradition...
1.Special Breakfast )courtesy of my great husband)
2. New outfit for school (Gap: slouch boots, skinny jeans, jacket)
3. New backpack, runners (backyardigans of course), and water bottle.
4. Picture on the front step and in front of the school.

I can't believe my 3 lbs 8 oz little princess is off to pre-school... time has flown by and we are so greatful that she has done so well!

I was so sad watching her walk into her class.
I was so proud when she said to her classmates "Hi, my name is Rhys, what is your name?".

Can I freeze my kids at this age so they don't grow up???

Ready for fall and back to school!

We had a great summer....but it is back to school.

We are busy:
enjoying nice weather
registering for dance and swimming
planning Backyardigan birthday parties
making jewellery
working

what is keeping you busy???

Summer Fun 2009

I took the girls down by the fountian near the Bes hotel for a little photo shoot today. I just love the old steps and the fountain.

Yes..I am still alive and no my computer did not die!!!

My appologies for the lack of posting!!!!

I am so busy with my family, work and making jewellery that scrapbooking has taken the back seat.

I plan to catch up on my pages and great events that have been happening this year over the summer while I am off work.

Just a quick update:
1. Rhys is so much fun and expressing her wants, desires and feelings (as 2 or 3 year olds do)
2. Kenadi is walking and talking and growing up way too fast!
3. I have been accepted to have a table at Sundog in December and will be beading my heart out over the summer.
4. My jewellery is now available at McNally Robinson in Saskatoon.

Hope you are all doing well....i miss you!!!

These ones still need titles...maybe next week I'll actually finish them

A few more pages...

This is my favorite picture and layout thus far...i just love how sweet Joey and Kenadi look together!!

I just love the picture of Rhys and Kenadi together...Sisters forever!

I went to splurge and finally created some new pages!!!!

We had photos done with Lisa Landrie (shutterbug Photos) for Kenadi's one year...here are a few pages...





I still need to put titles on a few pages and then I will post them too!

Kenadi is turning one...

It is hard to believe that my baby will be one on Monday!
Happy birthday sweet pea!


Here are a few shots from her photo shoot with Lisa Landrie.

Life is busy...

Well...life has been pretty busy:
I went back to work full-time last week and I am booking jewellery parties like there is no tomorrow.
It seems like all I do is play with the girls after work, make jewellery and pray that a little magic fairy would clean my house and do my laundry!
Hope you are all doing well and enjoying spring! We have been going for walks every evening and splashing in the puddles...oh how I love Spring!

Vegas...

Well we are home from Vegas...resting up from our vacation and I am getting ready to head back to work!
Here are a few tidbits from our trip (I only took 40 photos...not much for scrapbooking.
Here is my view of the strip from the Stratosphere...

Can you believe I went on this ride? The Big Shot was the best ride ever!!!

This is our room at the Mirage...i just loved the carpet!

A picture of pur hotel on the strip...

Joey and I enjoying 85 degree weather and a beverage infront of the Venetian.

Oh I can't wait to go back...I LOVE VEGAS!!!!!
Only thing I regret...I didn't buy a Coach Purse.

Just a few more layouts

Melina took lots of great shots and I printed off so many that I still have tons of these photos to scrapbook! I found this paper at JSI and I just had to get it! It is flocked and so beautiful.

I just can't get enough of our fall photos

Here are some more layouts I have been whipping up...

More Winter Layouts...

I have been trying to scrap a couple of nights a week to catch up...
here are the last few winter ones (because spring is coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!)

My little girl is getting so big

So...Kenadi is off to daycare as I go back to work on the first of April.
Where did the time go?

Stamping

Here is a page that I made a couple of years ago at Leica's with some stampin' up products. After the latest Canadian Scrapbooker Basics issue features stamping, I felt compelled to use it.

Photography 101 ... wow did we learn lots!!!

Thanks to Melina for this great course!!!
I can't wait to do more!!!
WE learned all about aperture, shutter speed, overexposure, underexposure, white balance and ISO...now I need to go over my notes and practice practice practice!!!
My girls will be sick and tired of me and my camera over the next few days!!!!
Here are some test shots from our class.

A little time for scrapbooking

Both girls were at daycare today so this afternoon I pulled out my stash and Scrapbooked for a couple of hours...


I must have been missing baby kenadi...I scrapbooked 5 pages of her! (sorry, the other 3 are under wraps...I submitted them to Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine!)
