Wheres your mojo at?

It's a tuesday full of stuff to do. A long list of boring office junk to deal with (gonna put March's receipts at the very bottom of the list again!) and a schwach of uber fun stuff to deal with. I am feelin' super scrappy so I think I'll do a bunch of fun creative page-making and then the boring errands. Usually I do it the other way around but those boring errands wipe me out and totally kill my mojo. I'm gonna outsmart that errand-brain-fry and do the cool stuff first!

I haven't even really used my camera for anything other than lame shooting just for work- YAWN! So maybe if the lighting today cooperates (it looks a smidge on the bright side today) I might bust out the camera for creative reasons. We'll see tho.


This is Noah being hard to photograph...somewhat elusive in that pre-tween fashion...


and Seth in the equally challenging to photograph goofball little kid phase. Should be some interesting scrap pages in the coming months!

Oh, and check out my Etsy store, I loaded a few new knitted things to it yesterday. They are soooooo nice! There's a preview on the sidebar if you scroll down a little...

Rock on, it's a great day!

Family Night

Every Friday night we (the fam) all do something together. Sometimes we watch a movie, sometimes we go to the Takhini Hotsprings and sometimes we play a game. This was game night last Friday. Noah DIED when he saw how silly he behaved in the above clip - of course we parents found it highly accurate of typical Noah behaviour and also thoroughly entertaining. Gotta love modern technology...it brings childhood torture to a whole new level! I can't wait for him to bring a girl home now...this beats embarrassing baby photos anyday!

Of course, poor Noah had his turn after Seth so whatever damage Sethy inflicted on the tower was Noah's problem! Sheesh, the kid never had a shot! LOL

Challenge 69 - Holy Smokes!

Okay, so I'm not exactly feelin' the love for Canada Post...there's just something very wrong with a salesperson trying to convince me that the shipping method that I want to use isn't a good idea...GRRR! I'll not go into all the details of the encounter (what I've already said should be enough!) but luckily, I managed to convince HER that my idea was indeed how my stuff would be shipped...sigh...so tiring!

So here we are at another Friday (where the hell does the time go?!) and it's challenge time YAY! I really loved working with this sketch. I'm a big one-photo scrapper so this was a no-brainer for me. It was fun to try and use a little bit of everything from this month's kit for the last page of the month. I (like everyone else) can hardly believe the month is almost over...there's so much stuff left in this kit!

Remember if you want a shot at winning this Couture Collection for yourself, all you have to do is create layouts from this month's challenges and upload them to our Flickr Group (be sure to label them according to which weekly challenge you used). You can use any products you want, just use the challenges as inspo! You have till the end of the month to get your pages uploaded to the Group Photo Pool so go on and get scrappy!

And get a load of this...as always, Tania has an extra goodie for us this month the idea just popped into her head! The date card on the side rotates (how cute!) and inside it reads 'every day of the year'. Love it!

errands abound

Well, although Open Crop Night wasn't all I hoped it would be this week ( I was kinda by myself) but it's okay because I got tons done...my DT gals can expect their newest kits before the end of the week if Canada Post decides to play nice, I got a wee bit of scrappin' done and holy cow, my studio is TIDY! LOL

I can hardly believe that there's only a week and a half till the NSB Day crop! YIKES! I don't feel half as organized as I think I probably am...so much stuff has gotten done over the past few weeks and it seems like there's an insurmountable list of things yet to be done. Knowing that I get to go and do the big grocery shop today isn't exactly my idea of a good time and could be impacting my mojo just slightly. sigh

there is a little bit of Postal Lovin' waiting for me at the Post Office, I'm going to just insist that today be full of happy goodness. That's my plan of attack for the day. Fun mail & groceries. (that sounds so domestic! LOL) Maybe if I'm really lucky I'll get a chance to do a bit of scrappin' just for fun rather than for work/deadlines. Maybe.

Word UP Lotus Paperie Style!

Check it out...today if you go visit the scrap-a-licious gals over at One Little Word, you can see what amazing things they created with their Couture Collections! Yes, that's right, I'm a sponsor for OLW and their Word UP Challenge this week. I love how these guys rocked out such stellar pages!

Now, that means that if you are thinking about snapping up one of the few remaining kits, this is a really good time because they're disappearing FAST! And yesterday I was able to grab a quick photo of May's kit (but we're still waiting for the super cool vintage robot fabric to arrive) and those kits are available for immediate order (but don't worry, I won't ship them sans fabric!). The kit is listed in the sidebar and if you want both this month's Couture Collection and next month's, you can save yourself $14 and I'll ship 'em both in the same box (be sure to email me so we can set that up for you in the shopping cart)
