Amy's Bridal Shower

Was so great! She really has a nice bridal party! The house looked great and so did the food, lol! There was tons of gifts, laughs and fun for all! Great job Holly, Shauna, Lisa, Hailee and of course Mom!
There were these totally yummy little tarts there that Holly made and OMG they are to die for. I am gonna give it a go and see if I can make them without a recipe. They are a cheese tart baked with red pepper jelly filling and then cream cheese on top. HEAVEN!! Is all I have left to say.......
Here are some pics of the day!

Whew!!!

I have been busy! Today I cleaned the spare room, took Austin to school, ran to town to Home Depot and to apply for a job and now I am trudging away at what is supposed to be my super cool scrap room when I am done! I am pooped out. I decided to take a break from spring cleaning the rest of the house to start on my scrapbook room because believe it or not..... I wanna scrapbook! Yesterday I was all of a sudden in the mood and now I just wanna get to it. However I need to find the room first. I know I still haven't posted pics but I will take some of the spare room and Hailee's new room later to share. You never know I may even get some taken of my scrap room too. I should take some now of the mess so you can all see what I have to overcome, lol!! Talk to you soon.

Happy Easter!

Ok so I know I am not supposed to be on here without sharing pics of the rearranged rooms, but they are not all cleaned up yet! Still! Ok well my scrap room isn't. Tomorrow I have the day off and my big plan is to get in here and clean!We will see how that goes for me.
Hailee won a gold and a silver medal in dance competition this week! She did such a great job! I am a very proud mommy!
Bad news.... Michelle and Sean's house burned down this week. I feel so bad for them. They are living in a hotel room right now. I am heading up there friday night to help inventory the wreckage so they can start claiming their possessions. I hope the reccession helps with building the house faster.
I better run for now, almost time for the egg hunt! Have a great day!

Me and my big ideas!

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!
