My State of Mind...

Can you guess where I'm headed next week? :-}

I'm lucky enough to be going to New York to see Brene Brown interviewed for the new Katie Couric show that will air in September.  Are you a Brene fan?  Want to come too?  I'm still looking for a taker for the second seat, so drop me a line!  My brother Chris is meeting me in New York, but can't come to the taping since they're having an all-female audience.

While we're there, we're also seeing the musical Once on Broadway, as well as DCI prelims through Fathom Events in the theatre right in Manhattan!  That's sure a lot crammed into one short and unexpected trip.  I'm so excited!

(Don't know what DCI and Drum Corps are?  This video is a few years old, but it's a fantastic and informative clip.  The theatre showing is mentioned starting at about 3:10).

Since this has all come together very last minute, I'm sure I'll be packing into the wee hours the night before we leave.  I'm planning on doing a Smashbook style mini album on the trip, so I have to get scrap shopping!

Oh, and if you're a travel buff and/or have been to Manhattan - restaurant, sightseeing and scrapbook store recommendations are totally welcome! Tinsel Trading Company and The Ink Pad are already on the list!

Have a fantastic long weekend!  Details about the trip (and hopefully some nice NY photos) to follow soon!

T is for Technology!

When you combine a new Macbook Pro, a (somewhat) new look and feel to blogger, a (similarly somewhat) new look and feel to photobucket and the crazy schedule of three kids and a business, what do you get?  Nothing, that's what!  Nothing on my blog, that is, for more than two months!  Man, that's quite the hiatus for me - a longer break than I've ever taken from blogging. 

All of the technology changes have made a quick post less than quick, so even posting something short and sweet has been a bit daunting

But it's been a good hiatus for our family - a bit hectic, but filled with sunshine, swimming, recitals, visits with cousins, as well as great report cards and piano exam marks!

Sadly, it's been filled with very little scrapbooking.  In my last post I mentioned skypebooking with Leanne over the NSD weekend.  Here is a little peek at one of the layouts I created that night.  It is from an awesome Kelly Goree class kit I purchased at Scrapfest, and it still needs journaling, but it's a cute tribute to our lovable pup, Merlin.

I've also started the Scrapping Nook's 100 Photos of Summer challenge once again this year.  I had so much fun doing it last year so I hope I can capture as many of the images this time around.  Stay tuned and I will add a few of those shots here.

Also upcoming for me and the kids - we're attending a drum corps show later this week.  Can't wait!  It will be a first for the kids, and I'm sure they'll love it, particularly now that Evan is taking drum lessons - yes, you read that correctly!  More on that to follow too, hopefully in less than two months! :-} 

In the interim, thanks for checking in here after such a long time, and I hope you're having a spectacular summer! 

Is it Too Late...?

Is it too late to say Happy New Year? Seriously, I can't believe I haven't posted for 2011 yet. We've had a very hectic (but good!) past few weeks and I haven't been able to find a moment in between to update my blog. In addition to a slide show of 2010's December Daily photos, I have so much to catch up on posting.

Let's see. . . as you can probably tell from the above photo, we were lucky enough to have a somewhat last-minute trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida this month. So yes, I have over 500 photos to go through and edit from that trip. One of my favourites is above. Contrast that with our first trip there three years ago here, and you can really notice how much the kids have grown!

Additionally, I have a mini album and four layouts with WRMK's Be My Valentine collection that I've created for Scrapalicious to show you. Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and this line is so perfect for it!

I've also selected my word of the year for 2011 (unveiling to follow!) and joined Ali Edwards in her One Little Word class at Big Picture Classes, and I am very excited about it; (in fact my friend Leanne and I will be working on our album for this class up in cottage country this weekend). Leanne and I are also taking another BPC class in February from the amazing Karen Grunberg of Creative Therapy. Her theme is embracing perfection, and while registration for this workshop is closed, Karen is offering another online class in February that looks fantastic - it's called Finding Your Way. I'm still thinking whether I can squeeze this one in; I would sure love to!

And for those of you close by, registration for Scrapfest opens Wednesday, February 2nd, (so be ready - helmets optional!); I'm looking forward to chatting with Lee Currie and a wonderful group of scrap-minded women in a Creative Conversation in a few weeks; Donna Downey is coming to The Art House in March (Sue, Lori and I will be there!); Tricia Ladouceur is coming to Scrapalicious in March too, and so very much much more! 2011 is going to be a fun-filled year!

Stay tuned for all of this and more, coming soon.

Oh, and a huge, belated but heartfelt Happy 2011 to you all. Cheers!

Thoughtful People

This is my friend Jennifer of Life - Be Scrappy. We first met at a scrappy site online about five years ago, were on Just Cre8's DT together, and have cropped and road-tripped together a few times too. I was pleased when Jen recently featured my home on her blog, although a little surprised it was my powder room toilet that prompted an admiration post! :-P

Jen sat with me on Saturday night at Scrapfest, and she was bummed last week when I wrote a Scrapfest post and only mentioned the two gals I booked my crop table with. (shhh - I sort of pre-wrote part of that post before Scrapfest - sorry Jen!) Anyway, I thought I would make it up by showing off one of Jen's most stunning, prize-winning projects.

The album that Jen is holding above is one of the most stunning pieces of art that I've seen. Jen entered it in a Coca-Cola employee contest related to the Open Happiness campaign just before the Olympics and not only did she win, I'm sure she amazed the judges at how gorgeous this album is. If you haven't seen it in person, look here for some photos of it. Although you really need to see this in person (and hear the jingle playing in the background) to truly appreciate it, the photos give you an idea of the degree of detail and hours of work it took to make this album so beautiful. Jen won herself and her hubby a trip out to BC to see the Olympics, lucky gal! Well deserved.

In addition to being an incredibly talented scrapper, Jen is also so sweet and thoughtful. Jen received one of the first of the Peace canvases I gave away in my 29 Gifts project back in February, and she then dropped by my office in the middle of the afternoon with these flowers to thank me. Thanks so much, Jen!
On the topic of thoughtful people, my hubby, who you may have seen in a similar photo on a recent post, was just featured by Scrapscene. See the post here. Stephen seems a bit indifferent about his 5 minutes of fame, although I think he's pleased it was just a link and not the photo that made the news!


I have more Scrapfest projects for Scrapalicious to post later in the week, so see you then!

RAK Haul!

For those of you still waiting for RAKs from me, here's a peek at the haul you will be sharing. Stamp sets, punches, ribbon, ink and all kinds of embellishments! I have the goodies separated and boxed and just need to get out to the post office to get them off to you. Thanks for your patience as I get everything together.

To Clip or not To Clip?

If you're wondering whether a Clip It Up is a great purchase, my answer is a resounding "yes"! My sweet hubby bought mine at Scrapalicious for my birthday in 2008. I'll admit, I couldn't find the right spot to put it in our former house, but since I didn't have a dedicated scrapbook room then, getting it up and running was harder. Now almost all of my alphas are stored on it. It's so easy to spin it and locate my beloved Thickers or Heidi Swapp chipboard alphas or MM tiny type (yes, I have a few of each of those)! It holds so much product, and I love seeing what I have at a glance. It makes me feel so organized, and it fits so perfectly on an art cart that I made in college.

On the topic of clips, I had a little clip done to my hair now that the warmer weather is here. My shorter do is so much fun, easy to care for and dries so much more quickly. Time is such a rare commodity at our house, I have to save every minute that I can. Like it?


For those of you waiting for RAKs from me, I sorted all of the goodies this weekend and will be getting boxes into the mail for you this week. If I'll be seeing you shortly at Scrapfest, and you're willing to wait, please let me know and we can hook up there, rather than worrying about shipping.

Speaking of Scrapfest, I'm so excited to be attending the crop there for the first time. I've attended in past years, but this is the first time I'll be staying overnight and cropping there. I'll be with Sue and looking forward to meeting Nancy too. If I haven't been posting layouts lately, it's because I'm a busy bee at home working on Scrapalicious projects for Scrapfest that I can't reveal until that weekend. So yes, I'm still scrapping. I'll have new projects to add to my blog coming up soon.

By Request - A Photo and A Tag

I had a few requests for a photo of our finished pumpkin after my Halloween post, but when I took a peek to find one I discovered that this was the only photo I took. Even though it's not a full view of Jack's face, it's enough of a look to give you an idea (and to show you how enamoured the girls were with him!)

This year's design was a composite: the scar was Evan's idea, the eyes are Alicia's design, the teeth are by Vanessa and the Star Trek replica nose was Stephen's contribution. By the time I realized that I didn't have a full on picture taken of this year's Jack, it was too late. He was too soggy and misshapen to photograph. Compost, here he comes!

I was also recently tagged by my friend and awesome scrapbooker Lori to complete this little quiz. I don't do a lot of these, but this one looked like fun, so I completed it last night after the kids were in bed. The trick to this quiz - you must complete it with a one-word answer. Hmmmm - not as easy as it sounds! You may want to give it a try.

U2 in Concert

Added to the on-going list of things we probably wouldn't have planned if we knew we were moving, we were lucky enough to see U2 in concert last night! I did feel a bit guilty as we were driving into the city that I should be packing for our move instead, but as the band took the stage, that feeling wore of, at least for the rest of the night. :-)
The stage was amazing! The stadium's dome was open and the top of the stage - a huge point with a disco ball on top - reached way up into the sky. The video screen, which you can see above, was actually a collection of tiny, connected screens, which they then stretched out later in the show (see left). It was quite fantastic!

We met up with Stephen's friends Adam and Greg and attended the concert with them, and all in all it was a great night. They had preciously seen U2 in concert, but it was a first for me, and U2 is one of the groups I've always wanted to see live in concert. If you ever get the opportunity to see them, I highly recommend it!

Did you ever go for a drive in the country...

. . . and come home with a new house? Because that's what just happened to us!

It was just over a month ago at Destination Create that I was up until the wee hours scrapping with Lori and we were talking about our homes. I told her then that we were so happy with our current house, and we weren't planning on moving for at least another 5 years. What is it they say about famous last words? :-}
Yes, we were up driving around in the country just north of us when we fell in love with this house (above), and decided to buy it! It's got so much yard for the kids to play in, a scrap room for me, a workshop for Stephen, and so much nature and country living for our whole family. We are so excited! We move in September. Now to get our current house sold. Tons of work.

When we were up there a few days ago working out some paperwork, one of our new neighbours dropped by to welcome us. Isn't this little fawn adorable? Stephen snapped this photo for us to show the kids. They're pretty excited to be seeing things like this everyday. Country living, here we come!

A Winning March Break

Well last week was March Break at our house, and we had a hectic week with the kids and all kinds of activities. First, I was lucky enough to see Fleetwood Mac in concert with my friend Leanne. We had great seats, the concert was awesome and we had a fantastic time. This was the view from our seats, and if you look really hard, you can see Stevie Nicks belting out a song on stage!
Our girls turned six years old last month, and some generous family members helped us pay for tickets to Disney on Ice as part of their birthday present. The show was fantastic and the kids were in awe for the majority of the performance. While the well loved characters were great to see, the kids vote for the best part of the show was It's a Small World.
I had a lot of fun trying to get photos of the show. The smoke that was present so much of the time made it tough to get great shots, but our seats were nice and close to the ice and I managed to capture many of the night's memories. The characters closed the show by shaking hands with the kids, which they loved. If you have a chance to go, I highly recommend it.
I closed off our winning week by drawing for my 2nd Blogoversary RAK. For the first time, I tried using Random.org to select a winning number for me, and turned out it selected comment #7. The girls, however, not pleased with having their role of selecting a slip of paper from a basket taken away, became involved in the process by making "Congrats" signs and posing for a photo, left.

Thanks to everyone who posted comments and shared their ideas about tutorials. Congratulations to Chelle who has won this RAK give-away. Chelle, please e-mail me with your postal mailing info at mama to 3 tots AT gmail D0T com (with no spaces) and I will get your prize out to you as soon as I can.

I have more to talk about, but it's late and I need to get to bed, so stay tuned for some upcoming Scrapalicious layouts and more of the latest scoop from our house. Have a great week!

Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow . . .

I don't know about you, but I can't stop thinking about the April 2009 kit reveal coming up tomorrow at Just Cre8.

On March 15th, the new 2009 Cre8ive Crew will showcase work from their first Just Cre8 kit - and it's a gorgeous one. I'm excited to upload my creations and also am excited to see what everyone else has created. Be sure to check it out here. Oh, and there's another reason I chose this title and photo - I'm lucky enough to be heading to the Fleetwood Mac concert this week with my friend Leanne. I can't wait! So what if I'm dating myself - if you're too young to know who this group is, you don't know what you're missing!

Besides, any rumours you may be hearing of my advanced age are just that - Rumours! That's my story anyway, and I'm sticking to it! ;-}

BTW, Sunday is the last day to enter the draw for my blogoversary RAK. Check out the post here and enter before tomorrow night for a chance to win. Don't miss out!

11,000 Maniacs (aka My 2nd Blogoversary RAK!)

I really wanted the title of my newest RAK post to be 10,000 Maniacs. Since 10,000 Maniacs is one of my all time favourite bands, I thought it would be cool to give a RAK away once my blog hit 10,000 view - a little tribute to my readers and to the band at the same time. Well, life and time managed to slip a way from me, and here I am already past 11,000 - definitely too far past 10,000 for a 10,000 RAK.

But since I still want to do a little give-away, I though I would do one today. You see, today is my blog's second birthday, so I have a doubly good reason for a RAK! Welcome to my 11,000 view and 2nd Blogoversary RAK. It's totally easy to win, so I hope you will all participate. Here's what's included:

Heidi Swapp and Cherry Arte patterned papers
Autumn Leaves Stampology clear acrylic stamp set
Prism cardstock and Bazzill die-cut cardstock
K & Company and Colorbok chipboard alphabets
American Crafts ribbons
Junkitz transparent ribbon
A Colorbok heart-shaped mini album ('cause I love that you include my blog in your day!) ;-}

What do you have to do to be entered into the draw to win this RAK? It's easy, really. I recently did a blog post about the decorative candle tutorial I created for the Just Cre8 blog. I had a ton of fun creating this tutorial, and would love to make more. Here's where you come in. I would like you to post a comment mentioning what type of tutorial you would like to see. It could be a specific stamping technique, an altered item or an embellishment creation - whatever you would love to learn to do. You have until March 15th at 11:59 pm EDT to enter your comment in order to be eligible for the draw.

Go for it!

Thank you!

OK, I totally need to play catch up!

Recently (relatively speaking, anyway!) I was lucky enough to be sent these blog awards from 3 of my scrappy friends - Mary, Marge and Jennifer. I'm so grateful to count these gals as my blogging friends.

I'm embarrassed to admit how ridiculously behind I am in responding to these gals' tag requests. So far behind, in fact, that tagging anyone would be almost moot, since most of my blogging pals have already been tagged. So instead of tagging more bloggers, I'm going to do a little RAK in my next few posts. Stay tuned and check it out.

And I just want to say thanks to everyone - the gals who tagged me, the family and friends who check in here regularly, and all of the scrappers. Thank you for visiting my little corner of the world. It really gives me a boost to know that you follow me and my family through all of the craziness, the scrappiness and the happpiness. Thanks!

One Year Later

I was tagged by my friend Kimmie in this post and asked to go to my 6th photo folder, post the 6th photo there and tell its story. This photo came up for me, and it really makes me smile. It's a photo of my hubby with our two girls on our first day in Disney World last year, and we were all so excited! It was taken close to exactly a year ago, and the girls have grown so much since then!
Here are the girls from just a few days ago at a celebration at school. Vanessa was quite excited to have lost her 2nd tooth that day, and shows it off in this photo. The girls turned six last month, and it leaves me wondering - where exactly does the time go? The girls are now in their final year of kindergarten and they will be moving on to Grade One in September. Seems just yesterday that I was carrying two infant seats everywhere I went!

I am tagging some blogging friends - a few who blog regularly and a few who need a kick in the pants ~ you know who you are! ;-}

Trish, Connie, Lee, Angie, Tara and Leanne. (Happy Birthday to my friend Leanne, by the way! Leanne is a brand new blogger, so keep checking back for her posts as I'm sure her blog will be gorgeous - once it happens!)

Here are the instructions for this blog tag:
Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
1. Pick the 6th Folder, then select the the 6th picture in that folder.
2. Post that picture on your blog and the story that goes along with the picture.
3. Tag 6 other people that you know or don’t know, to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog or an e-mail letting them know you chose them.

I can't wait to see what photos come up for these cool folks! Thanks, Kimmie, for including me in your tag.

The View from Here

This is my favourite view, right here. My family.

As another September 11th arrives and the world inevitably recalls the tragic events of 2001, I am more acutely aware than usual today of how blessed and lucky I am. Our children are an ongoing source of joy, peace and a touch of craziness in our lives, every single day. So much of what I do, I do for these little people, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
The life that my husband and I have built together with our families and beautiful children continues to grow in love and joy every day. We have a business that keeps food on our table and a roof over our heads, we have access to the best of medical care, and we take good care of ourselves and each other. We live in a country of spacious beauty and freedom. How very blessed and lucky we are!
As we all go about our daily routines today, I hope that each of us is a wee bit more in touch with our blessings. In particular, to those of my friends who celebrate their birthday today, please remember that this date marked the joyous celebration of your birth, before it marked anything else. And to those of you who make visiting this blog part of your daily routine, thank you, and God bless.

Boxer Shorts

Meet Tonka, the sweet, playful little puppy that my brother-in-law Justin and his wife Rosa just added to their family. We met Tonka for the first time on Father's Day, and while it was a short visit, the kids had a great time with her. Evan, in particular, spent a fair bit of time playing with her, and I took some cute photos of them getting to know each other.

Well, back at home, I printed off the photos of Evan's quick meeting with Tonka and began scrapping. I laid out the photos, tossed around some ideas in my head - and then a great title struck me - Boxer Shorts! A quick (short) meeting with the new puppy (boxer) - get it?

It was perfect!

So I started playing with title placement on my layout when Stephen came along. "What's up?" he asked. I was so excited about my perfect title. I just loved it. I proudly told him about it. I could tell instantly that he wasn't as impressed as I was.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Ummm, well....Tonka's a bulldog" was his answer.

Ooooooops. I guess I really don't know much about dogs!

Do any of you scrappers out there happen to have photos of a short meeting with a cute boxer puppy that you need to scrap? Feel free to use my title. It's back to the drawing board for me!

I've Always Wanted SISters!

As a child, I grew up in a house with two brothers and no sisters - and always wanted one (or more). Although I have no sisters in the biological sense of the word, I am so blessed to have developed friendships over the years that are as important to me as sisters. You gals know who you are! :-)

In recent years, I'm lucky enough to have added three great sisters-in-law as well. I'm truly blessed. But I now also have a whole lot of SISters! Thanks to some encouragement from my friend Lori, I just jumped on the Scrap In Style TV bandwagon. What a great place! If you haven't already, check it out!

If you look closely in the lower left corner of the screen above, you will see my photo on the homepage, welcoming me to SisTV. It was up there yesterday for about two hours, until someone new joined and claimed the title of newest SISter. What a fun way to welcome scrappers to your site!

When I scrapped with Lori over the NSD weekend, we sat with another inspiring scrapper, Jennifer. If you haven't seen Jennifer's blog, now is a great time to check it out, as she is hosting a give away of some fantastic Scribblz Art. Take a look here and find out how you can be in the running for the prize.

We have a Winner!

Thanks to everyone who left a stamping tip on my blogoversary RAK post. Today I finally had a chance to get all of the names cut out and into a basket for my kids to do the draw. Once my daughter drew a name I had to try a few times to get a decent photo with it. I may post the outtakes from the draw when I get a chance - they're quite funny! Congratulations to Mandiannie - you've won!
Mandiannie said:
Fiskars products are the best. I personally haven't gotten one of these yet and would love a chance to win one. I did give one to my sister for Christmas last year even though I badly wanted to keep it for myself.
Thanks again to everyone who left a comment, and thanks also for making my blog a part of your daily routine.

Please keep dropping by - it makes posting so much more fun to know that there are readers out there who enjoy a little bit of scrapping fun and a few tidbits about our corner of the world!

Blogoversary RAK!

Wow! This little blog has hit its first birthday! I find it hard to grasp that time has passed so quickly. Can you believe it?

Looking back to that first hesitant blog post, I didn't know whether I would be able to keep a blog going. It was an experiment, and one I was worried would be short lived. One year later, I find that creating this record of my scrapbooking work, friends, events, photography and family is a gratifying part of my everyday life.

I'm truly grateful that there are family, friends and friends-I've-not-met-yet who make a visit to this blog a part of their daily routine. Without your support and encouragement, I don't know whether I would have kept this little diary going. So thank you!

As a little gesture of gratitude to those on the other side of the web, I've decided to offer up a RAK of this handy new tool by Fiskars - the Easy Stamp Press. I bought one for myself last week, and think it's one of the handiest inventions since white-core cardstock, so I picked up an extra one! If you're not familiar with it, watch this product tutorial by Christine of Scrap Time.

Scrap Time Fiskars Stamp Press tutorial . . . . isn't that cool!

Of course, in order for me to select a RAK recipient, I need you to leave a comment on this post. To be entered in the RAK draw, please tell me what your best stamping tip is. For example, what kind of ink works best for you? Any suggestions for using different paint types with stamps? What's the coolest technique you've tried? Do you have a favourite, totally versatile stamp set that you turn to over and over? Let me know, and don't forget to include your name so that I can congratulate you if you win! :-)

Post by March 24, 2008 to be eligible for the RAK draw, but if you're reading this after that date, post your tip anyway, just for fun!

Thanks so much once again for your loyalty and support. Here's to another great blogging year!

Tagged Again!

I've been tagged by my friend Angie and asked to post 5 random and weird things about myself. Since I was previously tagged with a similar request here, I tried to come up with a new list of even weirder things than I had previously mentioned. What do you think - did I do a good job?

1) Since Angie's post mentioned Habitant Pea Soup, here's a tidbit about how we use it in our house. We have invented a meal called Soup and Patty, which consists of a spicy Jamaican meat patty, cut into bite size pieces and dipped into a hot bowl of Habitant Pea Soup. Mmmmmm - it may sound weird, but it's a staple around our house! Don't knock it until you try it.

2) On the topic of weird food combinations, I love to dip hot buttered popcorn into soft serve ice cream. Do it with the popcorn really hot - so tasty!

3) When I moved to Ontario, I quickly dropped many of my western colloquialisms because I was teased endlessly when I used them. One favourite word I have eliminated from my vocabulary is the word "parkade". Really, it's so much more efficient than saying "parking structure", don't you agree? On my recent trip to Edmonton, I saw the happy word within moments of my arrival.

See - I didn't make it up!

4) You all probably already know that I used to play the accordion, so I can't use that weird fact, but I can add that I know how to Irish dance - yes, just like Riverdance!

5) I received a Cuttlebug for Christmas, but haven't had time to take it out of the box yet! Is that weird? Maybe this weekend?

Angie has already tagged my friends Mary and Jen R, so I am tagging Howard & Trish, Tara C, Heather V, Angela and Vanessa. Here are the rules.

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
5. Don’t break the chain!

Get blogging, folks!
