Still haven't moved...

Despite what my previous blog says, I still haven't moved into the back half of the attic. Too much going on.

Our trip to NYC was AWESOME! I loved every minute of it. We did some touring, had some awesome food (Tavern of the Green, Bull & Bear in the Waldorf Astoria) and I did some great shopping (Century 21, Macy's and 'knock-offs on Canal St.). I am so looking forward to going back! One place Greg is willing to go back to!

The summer has arrived and it's too darn hot in the attic to work. Once I move, hopefully things will be better. I can turn on a/c. Until then, I'm staying out of there! Although I still have to move my stuff... :-(

We're heading to Saskatoon in September for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Mom asked me to make the invites. I finally got those done and out the door, so I'm free to do whatever my heart desires.

One thing on my list of things to do is a 'word' album for my parents. I ordered a 'Veltkamp' album and it arrived, so I hope to get working on that and give it to them for their anniversary.

I'm attending a crop at the Scrapping Nook on Saturday, so maybe I'll be able to get started on it then!

Well, that's it for now. Until next time...

UUuuugggg!!!

Well the time has come for me to start moving into the other half of the attic. What a chore! I have SO MUCH stuff and there is no way it's all going to fit. So I'm busy going through EVERYTHING and deciding if it stays or goes. Some will go to Goodwill and any scrapbook related things I`m saving for the Scrapping Nooks garage sale. Soon as I know when that is, I`ll post it here.

Speaking of scrapbooking, be sure to check out Jennifer`s blog. She`s posted a `giveaway`of some SkribblzArt. I`ve never tried it, but it looks neat. I`m always up for trying a new technique! :-). Here`s a link to her blog: http://lifebescrappy.blogspot.com/

Well, it`s time to get back to work!

Oh yeah...only 7 days until NYC!!!!!!

Will He or Won't He??

Greg told me yesterday that he wants to have the attic comletely finished by the fall. Now for him, fall is the first snow fall, which could happen as late as December! LOL

Anyways, there is still a LOT of work to get it completed by then, so I'm a little doubtful. Needless to say, he wasn't impressed! Oh well!

I'll have to take some pictures of where we're at and post them here.

Only 12 days until our trip to NYC. I have an all day staff meeting the Friday before in Toronto! Yuck! I wanted to skip out early so I could go home and pack!

I still have to research what activities Greg and I will be doing, besides the ones he's already booked. I've had a few suggestions, so I guess I should get busy and check things out. And then the shopping!! Woo Hoo! I'm looking forward to that.

The countdown to NYC is on!!

Greg and I are heading to NYC on June 14th! I am so excited. I've never been there before. I'm looking forward to fun weekend of shows, shopping and eating! And some touristy things too.

I've been busy the last while scraplifting. I've come the conclusion that this is the only way I'm going to get any scrapbooking done. So I have about 4 layouts that just need pictures.

And then there's the classes -- those always help to get LO's done too -- if I ever got off my butt and actually finished them (pics and all). So I've been trying to do that to.

So I'll get lots of LO's done this summer, but they won't be 'original'... LOL Oh well! I can live with that!

This and That...

Don't really have much to tell. I guess that's why there are big gaps between blogs. And I guess that's why people stop reading mine! LOL

Greg has been busy all weekend in the attic. He is almost finished with the insulation in the back half. Once he's done, I'll have to move my scrapbook space to that half while he works on the front half.

My dillema is that there's no window in the back half that I can put in an A/C unit, so it's going to be mighty hot up there this summer! I think may have to have a little setup for me in the livingroom and just hike it up and down the stairs to get stuff.

I'll be SO glad when the attic is completed and I can set it up the way I want! And hopefully it will be a lot warmer there this winter.

I haven't really been all the creative since Destination Create. I need to get going on some stuff, so maybe I'll get working on things this week. Or maybe not.

It's the long weekend coming up! I'm looking forward to that. No plans except to relax and enjoy!

Destination Create

I attended Destination Create this weekend, hosted by The Scrapping Nook! What an awesome time!!! I had a chance to spend some time with some great friends as well as meet a few new ones!

Although, I'm not sure I'll ever be allowed to room with Kim and Tina again!!! ;-) Sorry ladies!!!

A big THANK YOU to Patti, Elia, Barb and the rest of the Scrapping Nook team for making the retreat so wonderful! I'm looking forward to doing it all again next year!

There's a big gap before my next 'event', which is my parents 50th in September. Guess I'll have lots of time to get some scrapping done!

Should I ever figure out how to get the slideshow working, I'll post some pictures of some of my work.

It's been awhile...

since I last posted.

So what's been happening since November...

Well we did our cruise and it was fantastic! We had an awesome time. The exursions were great. I can't wait until the next one -- whenever that will be. I hope to do the mediterranean next!

The first 3 months of 2008 have been relatively quiet. Not too much going on.

My mom and niece (Rina) came for a visit in April. I took Rina to ScrapFest with me, where we had a great time. Got to meet a lot of great scrappers and do a little shopping too! :-)

Rina and I also went to see 'We Will Rock You' in Toronto. What an awesome show! I only wish we had done an evening performance instead of an afternoon one. I'll know that for next time!

This weekend I'm going to Destination Create! I am SO looking forward to this. I KNOW it's going to be a great time! I'll get a chance to catch up with some fellow scrapbooking friends as well as meet some IRL for the first time!

Until next time....
