Negligent Blogger and Poster
Lately I have been blog talking but not posting any work.. I have been doing quite a bit of scrapping lately - and so has Gab and Mom so here I will catch up..
My first reveal on the DT at the Scrapping Turtle came and went on April 15th. We received a delicious package from Dream Street papers and I received the entire Birdie Bits Line. I also received some 6x6 chipboard album covers and a few sheets and a 6x12 as well - all matching in the Birdie Bits. Here is a picture of the kit BEFORE:
Here it is AFTER - The Book
And the Layouts...

One of the funniest websites I've seen (Thanks Jenna!)
see more crazy cat pics
Check out http://icanhascheezburger.com but only if you intend to look at silly animals pictures with poorly spelt capschuns and then laugh yourself ridiculous.
I blame JennGwenHenn for my new problem.

Addicted to Kelley Armstrong books...
Never in a million years would I have picked a vampire/werewolf/necromancer book on my own. I am so glad that my friend Dawn made me read the 1st book. I have read all of the other books so far and she lent me the newest release last night so I could start it (and probably finish in super fast time too). I know you won't believe me - but these stories are well-written, sexy and because of the supernatural stuff (which adds to the story without taking anything away KWIM?) they are different and interesting.
Check them out if you ever think of it...
My current favourite is No Humans Allowed -- but each successive one is my fave until the new one comes out! Start with the first one Bitten - then you would be totally in the know...
Reading Personal Demon tonight!

I was tagged by Tracey - a super cool scrappymom I know from the Turtle... and I stalk your blog too Trace because I saw your tag before I saw this comment! Ha ha!!

Seven things about me.....
1. I am proud to be me and all the junk that comes with that. Mom, wife, daughter, sister etc... It is important for me to be authentic and real and remember that family is everything. We are all together - all the time and people comment on it. "Wow your family is so close - every weekend you are together?" And to that I say - weekend, meaning Friday nite, Saturday nite and usually Sunday too... We are all best friends and it's awesome.
2. I am a bookworm. HUGE! I read all the time. I almost never watch tv. Lots of people say that - but I really really don't. Like tonight Dave went out to a hockey draft and the kids were in bed by 8. I couldn't wait to get my blankie, couch and book. I love them all too - funny, romantic, scary, mysterious *ahem* even dare I say inappropriate ones that curl your toes. All that. My fave though are the classics, Jane Austen, The Brontes, William Thackeray, Shakespeare (yep reading it!), Anthony Trollope but NOT Dickens. Can't help it - not my thing. Did I mention I studied English Lit in school? Yep - on purpose.
3. Scrapbooking is definitely my calming place. It makes me feel like an artist. I love that I get to spend time with my family while I am creating too. My mom, my sisters, my aunts, and Gabriella. A cup a tea and you're set. Being on a design team is really an honour but has put an unexpected self-inflicted pressure on my work that I am sort of struggling through right now but I am sure it will work itself out.
4. I fell into an insurance career. Does anyone really set out for a career in insurance? I know there are a few - but not me! Having said that - I have found it to be rewarding and despite it being a "necessary evil" - in the end, it does help people and rebuild lives. Plus I have a creative job in it (marketing and communications) and that part is fun. Designing ads and campaigns. Planning stratgies... Sick fun sometimes.
5. I am Canadian. Not a surprise right? But I am really passionate about this. I hope to see more of our beautiful, generous, peaceful country in the future. We don't get too far from home lately but I know that someday we will...
6. Tracey said: "I am pretty shy and reserved in crowds or around new people! Pretty hard to believe for some since when I get to know people I can be a little loud & crazy." and I am stealing it for myself too. I am exactly the same way. I have a big mouth that sometimes gets me in trouble - but when I first meet people I am pretty reserved. Til I can't resist a one-liner that pops in my head... then all bets are off.
7. I have a lot of food issues. There I said it. I am a vegetarian and this is a bigger part of who I am than I would have ever guessed. It infiltrates life and its situations and causes sometimes uncomfortable attention on what I am eating or going to eat. I feel bad that others have to worry about my meals and dislike a lot of focus on it in a group setting. Won't make me eat a steak or chicken wing though..
Hmmm, seven people to tag - I am not sure that I have seven people I could tag that haven't already been tagged. I will have to think about this and add it in later.
