New Stuff - Love being on holidays with a few rainy days!

Cam is 33!!!

Happy B-day to one wicked cool brother in law Cameron...
Thanks for always drinking beer with Dave and for teaching me a little about laid back-ness. I think someday it might just eventually wear off a bit on me... I hope it does!

The kids thank you for ALWAYS swinging them around, whenever they ask you, and for (accidentally - wink wink) giving them both their first taste of beer!!!

Coolest new thing to get...

I picked up this cool (ok it was already decorated) square box at Michaels today for about $3.50 - $4.00 for my B-I-L Cameron's birthday gift... I got him some new shorts and tees but for the first time, he couldn't shake that long rectangular box he normally gets and figure out what was inside. He has an uncanny ability to figure out exactly what was purchased... Well we stumped him this time. The shake factor was definitely impaired here - and I envision - for you scrappers out there many fun hours modifying these boxes to match special occasions as you see fit.

The name you see on top is actually the card I made for him and not part of the box.
They had tons of patterns for different occasions/seasons/themes. I also got a box with cartoon farm animals just because it was cute...

Summer of Fun!

The Scrapping Turtle is having a bunch of contests called the "Summer of Fun". The first challenge was to create a LO about feet... I have been wanting to scrap a photo I took in March when Gabby and I both got our crocs...

CROCS ROCK baby! See up above for the pic!

Clarissa Celebrates

My niece and DH's god-daughter Clarissa celebrated her Holy Confirmation this week.. here is the card I created for the occasion... I really like how it turned out for her...
Inside the card...

And the back of the card - where the dough-ri-me went... love those Bazzill pockets! They are good for everything...

Happy Father's Day to our Boys!

Blog Challenge

There was a challenge posted to link 3 blogs that I visit and comment on why I like them..

Well - I like Sisterhood of Scrap! They have gorgeous LOs, fun challenges and a general feeling of friendliness that I think only a bunch of sisters from down east could bring... See the link on the "Places I Surf" column to the right...

I spend far too much time in Turtle soup... That is not a blog but a forum for the great store Scrapping Turtle in St. Jacobs, Ontario. A ton of info and pics on scrappin' and it may eventually end in my house being a shambles because it is such an easy and fun diversion from housework!

I like looking at the blogs from people I have met either in person or online through scrappin' and I will list them at the side. It is just nice to get to know you all!!!

The Weekend Recap

Sickness loomed after our fab day at Wonderland.. Still very much infectious. Although I did go to work today and spread it around and stuff. They LOVE when you do that!

Scrapped only one thing on the weekend which was a LO for a challenge on another blog - Sisterhood of Scrap. I will post here later but it was of my youngest sister Megan and her BF and it was his 1st trip to Wonderland. EVER! Can you imagine being 19 and never getting there? I can't think about it. Too crazy!

Thinking about joining QuicKutz Anon from the Turtle. Gonna get some feedback and then probably sign up!

Can't wait to have some time to crop! I wish I could get to a real live crop. They are always happening when I have some crazy family event going on. Oh well... everyone should be as lucky as me! DH and I both have HUGE and crazy-fun families so we are pretty blessed! Can't wait to put these 2 photos in a LO later. The kids loved this trampoline thingy at Wonderland! It's new from last year I think!

Thursday is Friday - and Friday is great!

Today was NOT my day. It started off bad and stayed that way. Why does that happen?
Considering my day was horrible - I guess I can't complain that much. I am healthy if disgruntled and even though we lost in baseball tonight -- at least I can still play?! Right!?

Also - I got my hair finally coloured (gotta wash that u-know-what *eek* outta my hair...) which was getting desperate and I look better even if it hasn't hit the inside of me yet!

Tomorrow we are planning to be off to Wonderland as long as (prayers please) the rain holds out so here's hoping!! After that - this is the only weekend we do NOT have an out-of-town b-day/confirmation/shower/wedding/communion etc etc etc since May 11th to the weekend after Canada Day... MAN! How does life get so busy? So I hope to scrap-crop-slice-craft and clean the house all weekend. Oh - and sit outside too if it's nice! Hope to have some new work to show next week!
Did this LO last night...

My 1st LO using QKutz...

This was for a sketch challenge on the scrapping turtle forum and my 1st time using my new quickutz for a LO. I have taken this die and made all different colours of bird-friends and hope to make good use of them soon! I better since it is my only die other than the alpha that came with the squeeze. I may have to joing QK Anon so I can get one a month as advertised!

Here are some recent LOs...


Do you think I like my kids much?

My Name is Kim and I am an Addict!!

I have been addicted to scrapbooking for just over a year now. AND I LOVE IT.
I hope I never get bored of it.

Welcome to my scrapblog. I have a family one as well and thought I might as well just start this one up to share my craziness with all of you!

Enjoy.. Please feel free to comment!!

Peace.
