Cards, cards & MORE Cards

Just a quick post to show you some cards that I made from some Daily Card Challenges (hence the white text labels I placed on my cards).

More Completed Layouts!!!

As I mentioned in my last post I just finished participating in a summer crop. Theres an MSN group that I belong to that holds quarterly crops and they are lots of fun! Lots of challenges to keep you busy scrapping and fun games to keep the chatter and good times rollin'. If this sounds like a group you may be interested in joining, please contact me personally and I can forward you on to the lady in charge :) She has made such a fantastic group, and I am so happy to have had the chance to get to know her, and all the members of the group... such a friendly bunch of people we really are all like family. :)

Anyway, here are a number of pages that I finished during the crop:

As always, thanks for taking a peek at my blog!

Have a great day!

Little Man's BIG Day!

Hello readers! Sorry to be so far behind on my posting... I never was good a keeping a diary guess I'm still not. LOL July has been a busy month for us. We've had lots of summer events to keep us busy.

July is a month for birthday's in our family. My Mom's was on the 12th, my neice Kennedy had her's on the 15th and my youngest son Preston had his 1st birthday on the 19th!!! What a day! Little man was very well behaved on his birthday.... especially considering he refused to take a nap all day, I was expecting a melt down but he did really really well.... even after he dug right in to his cake and ate more sugar that he was ever allowed to before!!!

Here he is wasting no time at all digging in to the cake


and here is is grabbing and pulling the cake back towards him after I tried taking it away


and here he is all messy and filled with sugar! lol



Prestons birthday was also the same day as Cherry Carnival so we had a lot of fun things to do all day long, watch a parade, water sport activities, bouncy rooms, bingo, dunk tank, good bags, cotton candy, woodsman competitions, breakfast with bubbles the clown, balloon animals, face painting, sit down dinners, cherry pie eating contest, cherry pit spittin' contest, Kareoke competition, game of chance, CHERRIES & fireworks!!!!! Good times :) The best part is always seeing friends you haven't seen for a very long time.... Cherry Carnival always brings them 'back home'.

On top of this we've had soccer nights every Tuesday & Thursday.... Xavier is doing really well with it and says he's having fun.... thats the important thing. It is getting to be a bit tiresome lugging everyone out two nights a week, but hey that's what a soccer mom does right? ann to think this is the easy stage.... pretty soon I'll have 3 of them out there getting involved and it'll be more nights a week, longer times, real games.... I need a nap just thinking about it!! lol

Ok, I'l be back soon with some scrappy posts. I just finished participating in a summer crop also so I've got lots of creations to show ya! ;)

What a week!

I hope everyone out there enjoyed their nations Holiday whether it was Canada Day or Independence day. I know we had a great time celebrating both! :)

Canada Day was a day jam packed with lots of fun for the kids. We went to our towns celebration, and enjoyed live entertainment, free hot dogs & birthday cake, candy scramble, crafting, balloon animals, frisbee throwing, Horse and buggy ride, and the boys personal favorite running through the giant sprinkler the fire department had set up! We also spent time at the wading pool and the boys had a lot of fun there too, the down fall to it all...dispite being loaded up with sun screen we all still got pretty harsh sunburns :( My poor little guys look like lobsters..... can't let that happen again, we'll just remember to take a break from the sun next time :)

The 4th of July was fun although we didn't do a whole lot. We did go out for ice cream, and did a little geocaching too. Then we spent the evening home and watched the Pops goes the 4th special and the fireworks display in Boston. My dream is to spend the 4th of July in Boston watching that very same event. I love Boston, I love the Boston Pops and I love the fireworks display they put on every year!.... someday hopefully that dream will come true.

We've got a busy two weeks ahead of us. I've got lots of cleaning and preperations to do to get ready for my Baby Boys 1st birthday!!! and in between there are soccer practices, and whatever else the boys want me to take them out to do next....lol I hope to be able to sneak some scrappy time in there somewhere too and post a few things for you to see before we take off on our mini vacation.

Have a great week!
