On a roll!

I can't believe it's tomorrow. June 27, 2008...me & DH's 10 freakin' year anniversary!!! Isn't that just crazy??? I don't wanna say something cheesy like "where did the time go" but seriously...sometimes I think the only difference between me and my cousins are memories of the 1980's out of diapers.

So I have no idea what we're doing tomorrow...we're doing SOMEthing...but I'm not allowed to know what. All I have to go by is a note in my Sanity Saver written in his handwriting that says "Be ready for anything by 3pm. No shifts till Saturday." I'm excited...but yeah, I'm nervous too. Partially because I'm in the dark, partially because I haven't had a good night to work on his anniversary gift yet. He's going out later tonight...I better get a move on!!!

So anyway, I've been making my best effort at the annual stay-at-home-mom venture while DS is home from school while dealing with my newfound scrap momentum by 1) working on my Florida album and 2) finishing some old projects (and of course my Buffalo pages). Here's what I've accomplished so far:


"1, 2, 3, 4X6"


"Latest & Greatest With Basic Grey"


"Latest & Greatest With Basic Grey"


"Scheming Around"


"Scheming Around"


"Playful Pages"


"Scheming Around"


"1, 2, 3, 4X6"


An unfinished object from last year

I also did a couple of cool 2-pagers but I suck at taking pictures of 2-pagers, so those will have to wait. As for Florida...it's almost done except for titles, journalling and embellishments. The hard part of deciding which pics go on which pages and how, is almost over with.

Anyway I gotta cut this off as DH just took off and I gotta finish his present!!!

Buffalo Girls

This is a journey best illustrated in pictures.

Meeting the girls at Union Station

Ready to scrap

Meeting "Rod". Is this food?

Scrapping in the hotel room...why didn't we think of this last year?

They have Timmie's in the USA!

It's a little different though.

Shopping Shopping Shopping

Can you believe I had no advance notice of the colours these layouts would be? Man I'm a good guesser!

The beginning of the most gorgeous project I've ever made at CKC

The creator of said project. I'm proud to share her last name.

The Browsers

The Posers

Don't be fooled. Any one of these innocent looking women can and will tear your arm off for a glue stick

No one is above hiding behind a pop machine

Heading out for chocolate martinis!

I think it's sort of rhetorical to go on and on about how much fun this trip was. It's pretty obvious, I would assume. There were a few downers, such as losing a $32 bag of buttons and acrylic letters I bought in the Vendor Faire, and having my first negative alcohol experience which prevented me from joining in the fun at the Chocolate Bar on Saturday. However, there were plenty of ups, like American sizes at Tim's for Canadian prices, finding a Lightning McQueen license plate album and getting a spectacular deal on a huge box of chipboard. The projects this year were absolutely stunning, and the classes very educational. I took home a lot more than just scrap supplies. I can't wait to get some time and really make some new pages just for fun!
