A great cause....

I am fortunate to be involved in a very worthwhile cause this year.  My good friend, Jennifer Roswell started a crop 3 years ago to benefit the Alberta Children's Hospital.  Actually 3 years ago, I didn't even know Jen!  Because of this crop and her involvement designing with MondayNightClass we bec

I love this time of year ....

I do love this time of year and it isn't because of this wonderful weather in Calgary, Alberta.  (Note the scarasm in my voice as it was -22 deg C this morning but with the windchill it felt like -35 deg C)  And it is only to get colder this afternoon and some snow is moving our way!Anyhow, why I lo

My Ride

Today, I returned to work after being off since Dec 23rd.  It was a double whammy as I had to get Hailey up as well and to the babysitters with an early drop off of 6:30 am.  Ian usually does the morning routine but is out of town for work for about 2 weeks.  So, 2 weeks of getting up about 5:30 am,

Having a Ball

I absolutely love this sequence of pictures that our photography, Virginia captured of Hailey playing in the yard back in September when we were getting new family photos.  These pictures are so Hailey, the carefree spirit that she has.  She is so relaxed and at this time in September was really sta

You make me SMILE

I'm not the girl that always has a smile on her face.  I have the serious picture face.  I do know how to have a little smirk but I don't have the wide open mouth , teeth showing kind of smile.  So, this layout is appropriate as Ian does make me smile in life, sometimes it is just more on the outsid

My 34th birthday was not quite a month ago.  I started last year making a layout 'about ME' for my birthday.  It's a nice reminder to look back and see what was in my head that year.This layout was a lot of fun.  I did it when we were in Saskatoon at SK Scraps.  I figured a lot about me needed some

Free Spirit

Well, I have to say the only good thing about a migraine and having to take some imitrix is the amount of things I get done through the night because I can't sleep.  I did however, have an amazing 6 hour sleep after popping the pill.  I woke up with only a mild feeling left from the migraine which w
