Sometimes I think I have lost ALL my marbles! Last weekend Hailee told me she wanted my scraproom as her bedroom! I of course had already been thinking I might move Austin back in there, but Hailee? Brian said she had been talking about it to him for weeks though. Anyway, I have had her slaving away all week to clean house and go through things so we could make the move. She has worked so hard, poor little thing and totally earned the move.
So now today here I sit trying to ignore the fact that I am supposed to be moving stuff already....sigh, humm. I have to move my scrap stuff all the way back down stairs again(4 floors). And yesterday came the kicker!
A young gentleman I work with has been looking for a place to live for quite some time now to no avail. This has caused him to move back home to New Foundland where we all no jobs are hard to come by right now. I talked to him and told him he could rent a room here if he wanted. If his parents have not already booked him a flight he is moving in. So now he gets the bedroom, Hailee is moving out of. But..... I get the playroom, which after this week is no longer a playroom, so I have tons of room for scrapping! Now I just gotta plan a crop with my GF's!!! Yay!
I will share pics when we are done!

So proud!
Yesterday the kids did awesome with dance pictures! They look so great full custome! Hailee is starting to look so old though and it kinda makes me sad. She is turning out to be a very beautiful young lady. Austin is pretty cute too, I might add. Not that I am biased or anything.

The weekend off...
Finally!! I have a weekend off. Sorta.... Tomorrow the kids have dance pictures which are totally spred out for times, and Sunday is my last IT meeting at the store. I am very sad and really not wanting to go, but I know I have to go and say my goodbyes. I think I will have Brian and the kids take me though so I have company for the ride there and back.
Today the sun is out and gorgeous!! There has been so much snow melt today it is crazy. I still seem to be having a downer day though which is ridiculous. I have tried everything to cheer up. Sat outside with a mag and coffee. Went to see a friend, cleaned my room and swapped bedspreads. Opened all my windows and even have candles from Richelle's store burning everywhere. No luck though. Now I am going to turn on my blog playlist and clean up a bit in my scraproom. I am trying to go through things that I don't use or want and listing them on kijiji for sale. I have 5 ads on there so far. No bites yet though. Hopefully soon. It is time to spring clean and the scrap room is high on the list, lol!!
Talk to you all again soon!
xoxo

Happy Spring!!
Today is the official first day of spring and the geese are even coming home to prove it! For some reason it seems like this winter has been so long and I really can't wait for all the snow to disappear.
I have been missing for quite a while I know. It has been a really tough month for me. There have been a lot of sad happenings as well as some pretty huge life changes.
Three weeks ago, a friend of mine, that was also one of my previous business partners took her life and left a hole in many others lives. I do hope she has found peace and I am so sorry for all the loved ones she has left behind. I know that I had not been as close to her the last few years and for that I am also sorry, however one of my very dearest friends was very close to her and I hurt for her as well.
I have started a job at the local grocery store in town. With the job comes a lot of hours and one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make. At the end of this month I will be leaving Pages In Time. I am afraid I cannot keep up with my new job as well as put all For those of you wondering about me, I will still be here blogging away. I am planning to share more of my work online and maybe even issue a few challenges of my own here for fun.
I do not want to bore you with too many details right now so I will make it short and sweet. Over the next week I hope to have all my own recent work uploaded on my blog and a lot more pictures for you to browse. Expect great things from both the store as well as myself still and keep scrappin!! ;)

Good morning!
Good morning everyone. Hope everyone has been doing well lately! So I have some news!!! My little brother Travis is getting married!! The girl he is marrying is someone we have known for almost our whole lives. When she was little she used to call me her big sister because she is an only child. Now I really get to be her big sister and I am completely thrilled!!
The cool thing is I will never forget when they got engaged because it was the day before mine and Brian's six year wedding anniversary! I guess I should mention that my husban built me a fabulous new folding table in my laundry room for our anniversary. It is exactly what I wanted and it is all decked out right down to the solid oak trim!
Last weekend Katie, Lorraine and I headed to Edmonton to a retailer event and had a blast! We learned some really cool things and the new product coming out is OMG!!! The bank account is going to be a hurting unit for awhile I'm thinkin'. This is one of the projects we made. You can see more on the store's blog.
Yesterday Hailee turned 10. I can't believe my little girl has "double digits" as she would say. I am feeling a little old today. She got spoiled as always. We bought her 2 new outfits, a DS case, a laptop and a computer game. Austin gave her 2 singstar games for the PS2. Friday night she has 3 friends coming for a sleepover and saturday the rest of the family is coming for cake and gifts. Here are a couple of pics from lastnight. I fooled around with some of my cake decorating tools. I think it is a good thing I am signed up to take the classes this month, lol!
Ok at the request of many I also took some pictures of one of my hermies yesterday. This is Slater. I don't think he was overly excited about my camera flash but oh well. The other one is sparky. Sparky is a little shy though. As for the rest of my crabs, I am not sure where any of them are. They have all dug holes in the tank and are hiding. I am not sure if this means they are all ready to molt or what. In fact the other night I dug them all up to check on them and I still haven't found one of them. It is my smallest one so I am sure he is there somewhere.
Lastly I have decided to make a huge change in my life. I have recently quit at the after school program and today is my last day babysitting. Monday I start work at the local grocery store. They did not know how many hours I would have to start with but my 1st week I already have 30 hours! This is the first time in six years I have actually worked outside of the house away from my kids. It is going to be a big change, but I think it will be for the best. Think that is all I have to say for now. If you made it to the end of my post kudos to you!!LOL!!

A blog to share
I have been watching this blog for quite some time. The woman that created it used to be on a forum that I was a member of years ago and I have always been a huge fan! Thought I would share her blog with you. She also gives away some pretty awesome blog candy too. Great place to visit for inspiration.

Happy Family Day weekend!
I hope everyone had a great Valentine's day yesterday! I know I did Brian brought me a dozen pretty pink roses! Today we are heading out to Mom and Dad's for a bbq roast and a visit. Also gonna stop at the store and plan IT kits. Had to add Brian's new favorite song to my playlist. It is Hate my life by Theory of a deadman. Please excuse the language. Pretty funny actually. It kinda makes you happy even though it is a hate song. Good beat though.
Last week we had a family tradgedy. Herman, my very favorite hermit crab passed away and left us for the sea in the sky. It made me panic so I went out and bought all new soil, toys and food for my hermies. That is 2 that I have lost in two weeks. The only thing the pet experts can think of is that I was using all sand instead of a mix. Well, it's a mix now!!
Grande Prairie was great! Baby Tanaya is getting so big! Michelle and I had a blast and it was so much fun to see Gord and Shauna! Ginger and Horace became fast friends. Horace is a monster of a bulldog and my little girl held her own pretty good. I shoulda took pics though.
Sorry not much else to say today. Maybe later! Have a great weekend all!!
