My Journal

So Robin and Lori bought me this Journal (Wreck this Journal by Kerri Smith) when they were in Vegas LAST year. They are so awesome to me!! If you know me, then you know I hate when my books get crumpled, stained, or WRECKED!!!! Doing this journal is almost therapeutic for me... ha ha. I have been passing it around to friends and family and have started taking pictures of everyone WRECKING my journal.
Those good looking people are my brother (Logan 18) and my sisters (Amanda 21 and Chloe 3) They all took a stab (almost literally) at the Journal. Logan set one page on fire and we almost lost the whole book... I guess it's all part of the fun. Chloe needed some encouraging to toss the book off the railing ("you aren't supposed to throw books" were her exact words) The stains were pretty fun.

I totally recommend this Journal TO EVERYONE!! So much fun. You can buy it at Urban Outfitters or Chapters.

Well that's all for me!!!!

One of those days....

Today is totally one of those days. I am soooo sick and have been for a few days now. Everything hurts from coughing so much!!!! Then..... I read something that I knew I'd get upset over (but did it anyway) Oh well right..... kicked my self in the butt there!!!!!! It's almost one of those "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all" kinda days..... but I always have something nice to say....

I had an awesome time this weekend. Didn't get to see my movie (hes just not that into you) but I did go with these ladies (see below in my latest beary box design) to the Marilyn Munro exhibit down town. It was great!!!! What a life that lady had!! Wow!!!

Speaking of Beary Box.... check out the blog every Monday (layouts) and Thursday (Cards) and take part in the competition!!!!! Joey gives away awesome prizes every week!!!

Big yay to Jordan. I now have a million games on my DS... guess what I have been doing since I was sick..............I have to say Mario Party is totally addicting!! Yikes......

I have been doing a lot of brain storming these days...... lots going on up there. I will let you know more on that after I hash it out with the girls on girls weekend.

Thanks Guys.

Hi guys.

So here is my latest Beary Box design....

I went 6x12 with this one. It was a lot of fun but harder than I thought it would be. Lynn Thune makes it look so easy!!!! I had to shrink my sketch obviously. I made this at my good friend Ashley's house. That's her in the picture. I didn't have any pictures with me so I had to borrow one from her.... LOOK, YOU MADE MY BLOG ASH!!!!!!! Love her.

I also did this one 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately the picture of this one is really really dark!!! It was on craft card stock and is actually a pretty bright page. This is my beautiful sister a couple years ago at Easter.... deep in thought.

Also my Canyon Layout is the feature layout over at calgaryscrapbooking.com. Its a web site totally devoted to Scrapbooking in Calgary. They have some awesome layouts in their gallery not to mention tips, tricks, and all you want to know about Calgary Scrapbooking.

So I have been out in Airdrie for the last week watching my sweet little sister Chloe. She is such a good girl and I am very proud to say that she made her first every scrapbooking page!! I didn't take pictures which I should have but I will next time I am out there. It was soooo adorable. She was very very proud of herself!!!

Well that is all for me.... OH apparently my little sister does read my blog from time to time so... HI AMANDA!!!!!! ha ha.

Happy 1st Birthday to the Scrap Yard!!!!!!!

So they have been open since Sept 24th 2007!!!! Jan 17th we had a big crop to celebrate. Unfortunately due to some family medical reasons Lori couldn't make it..... we missed her.

The day was awesome though. Robin did an awesome job of getting all the last minute details together. You should have seen our workroom.... I think there were tables under all of the boxes but I am still not so sure.

The day was great. The Canyon Meadows community hall was awesome. Lots of natural light, there was lots of room. Lots of friends and good food, make-and-takes and games. Everyone had a great time. 12 hours flew by.

I wouldn't let them in until 10... it was really cold outside that day!!! Crazy Ladies.

Last but not least, little Tristan. I love this kid. He is sooo cute. His brother Kaleb is equally adorable!!!! I keep telling Lori M I am gonna steal them!! It didn't go over so well....

Robin had some awesome friends that same and helped out that day. Lisa, Roslynn, and Leanne were awesome and so much fun. And Robins mom Gail made all the sanwhiches again!! She is awesome!!!!!!!!!

Wish Lori could have been there for all the fun, but she was where she needed to be... we missed her sermons though..... ha ha ha.... she always makes me laugh.

I gotta get better at this.....

Ok First off..... Here are just a few of the pictures my wonderful friend Laura took of me!!! She has her own photography company, Soul Photography, and she is awesome. She is so much fun that you can just relax and goof off!!! Love her. And she did an awesome job. I am still waiting for a couple but I love these ones.

Here are my latest Beary Box layouts. Don't forget about the weekley challenge over at the blog. Joey's giving away some awesome stuff from CHA.

These are both a little dark....oh well.

I think that is all for me....for now......
