Family Photos!!

I was very honoured to join Matt and his kids to have some family photos done!! We had a blast and Chris did such a great job shooting our best sides!! Lauren and Alex are so amazingly photogenic...

Feel free to check us out on her blog:

We're under June 29, 2009 (under the belly pics...) and our photos on her blog are titled "The Fam" - just a small sampling of our experience.

You know I can't wait to do some serious scrapbooking with these photos!!

Circle of Life...

So, my status on Facebook says that I've been wondering about the Circle of Life. I've been thinking a lot about my friend Bruce, who is fighting ALS with all he has, but doesn't seem to be winning the battle...and a lovely man I used to work with, and who's family I know so well, passed away on Tuesday with Acute Leukemia. And now on CNN it's all about Michael Jackson dying today and Farrah Fawcett died today too...and it makes me think. As these individuals move on to whatever comes next, are they opening the door for a new life to enter?

Do you know that Harry Chapin song..."All my life's a circle, sunrise and sundown...".

Just feeling kind of reflective. And so totally blessed.

Help Needed!!

Hey my blogging friends....I need some help!

How do I get followers (I do have followers right)?? And how do I show up as someone else's follower?? Seriously...I need a tutorial. Something to spice up my blog and add some zing!!

Anyone?? Usually I don't feel so technologically challenged....

On Holidays....

So, here I am enjoying a week off. Matt & I were supposed to be in Puerto Rico for his work, but the conference got cancelled because of the H1N1 Virus...so here I am at home. I'm totally good with being at home, Puerto Rico would have been work (although work in a lovely location). We went to see my Mom for a day/night and to visit friends of Matt's for a day/night and for the last two days I have been really lazy. Getting very little accomplished and very little desire to get much accomplished. This is pretty strange to me. Usually I make a list and than go crazy trying to cross things off. I'm not sure if I like this new me...although I must admit it's been quite liberating...

I'm blaming it all on the great time I had in Stratford for the Go Scrapping Retreat!! So lucky to sit with such a great group of ladies!! Thanks for a great time!

Now, could someone help me with my motivation...

Scrappy Cart!!

On Sunday I went to Ikea with my friend Tracy and bought myself a wee scrappy cart!! It's so cute and will work AWESOME when I go to Stratford with Go Scrapping!! It was very inexpensive and I really do think I got the deal of the century! I know this picture just doesn't do it justice!

I also think it will come in very handy for moving stuff from my spare/scrap room to the dining room table. Life is good!!

Come on all you scrapbooking friends...don't you wish you had one???

Can you Zut??

It turns out I can Zut...with the best of them!! ha! I was worried I might have "Zutter" Arm today, but you'll be glad to know I'm ok.

I am, however, quite curious to find out what "colour" I am...I'm resisting the "gold", but I don't know why.

The things you learn when you hang with a bunch of clever girls!

Old Friends Resurfaced!!

So in the past couple of days, two old and very dear friends have resurfaced via Facebook. It has been such a blessing to hear from them and catch up a bit. They are both good friends from High School - one who was in my home room and who used to have her locker right next to mine. She always made me smile (seriously, every single day) and it has been so great to connect. The other was my Grade 13 boyfriend. We also were great friends before we dated and maintained our friendship after...but it has been years since I have heard from him.

It is wonderful to hear from those that meant so much in my past...and who I still feel a connection to today.

Life is good!
