Summer's almost over!

Well it's the last week of summer. Next week all the kids go back to school. I don't have any, of course, so this has no real impact on me, except that the September long weekend means the end of summer.

Greg and I have been busy trying to get our bedroom renovations done. The furniture has all been painted, so now I'm just adding the wallpaper, new hardware and distressing it all. I think it will look great when it's all done.

On Sunday we're going for dinner with some friends we havn't seen in a long time. We'll be having dinner at a local winery. Should be a great time.

Last Friday, Kim and I went and had a 'preview' of Vicki Boutin's garage sale. She had TONS of stuff. I managed to pick up a thing or two -- or 3 bags full!!

With all the renovations, I havn't been doing too much scrapping the last week or so. I have a mini book kit that I'm finishing up for Greg's God daughter. Her birthday is in September, so I need to get it done.

We've booked our trip to Saskatoon in October. I'll be going to Colorado first, to meet up with all my awesome friends from the Coffee Shop (online board). I'll then fly to Saskatoon to spend a few days with my parents while Greg is attending a conference.

I'm trying to convince Greg to go on a cruise for Christmas. I think I have him almost convinced, but I'll have to work at it a little more...

It's been a while...

Since I posted. I've been tagged a couple of times, so I figured I should get on it!

I was off on vacation last week. Busy doing a whole lot of nothing! It was the best!

The week before, I had to write my exam for my ITIL Masters. It was 2 - half days of 3 hours of writing! It was very intense and I'm not sure I even passed. The failure rate for these exams is 60%, so it's not looking good! I was certaily glad for a weeks vacation after that!

This weekend I'm going to spend painting furniture. We just finished renovating our bedroom. The walls are painted a dark green. It's a lot darker then I thought, but the furniture is all being painted an off-white, and the bed linens are medium tones, so I think it'll be OK.

I've been a bit of a scrapping nut lately! I've done quite a few pages. I hope I can keep the momentum going.
