Sorry been away for a while......

Well to start things off....my computer was inoperable for the entire weekend so needless to say I went through major computer withdrawal! Last week was a VERY busy week! Here is just some of what happened!

Lauren (my 4 year old) won Gold in individual bowling provincials! I was so proud of her. She had a +79 over her average. I was so impressed. I kind of figured she would get it. She had a 109 in her first game and again around 100 mark in her second game. She is one awesome bowler for being 4 years old. My son was a trooper. He is used to being the bowling champ. This year he has taken a step back to Lauren. He was so cute. He said "Mom I am proud of her!". Made my heart melt. Photo to come soon.

My friend Sheryl has had my digi camera all week so I haven't had a chance to take photos. She is fixing it so I should have it soon. I will be able to take a pic of the L2S April Kit as well created by Tammy Brownlee.

Stacy Julian is going to be chatting at Love 2 Scrap April 26th at 8 p.m. (this is not a real-time chat). Post your questions on our Forum and Stacy will answer them. Thanks Janna Henke for lining this up for us! Check out Stacy's The Big Picture Book availble at Love 2 Scrap before you chat with Stacy. It is an amazing book!

I have been told that my taste in men is lacking (hmm...Elizabeth), so I have decided to post some more eyecandy (in my eye's anyways).

So there are some more of my favorites!





Less than 2 months until CKU. I guess I had better get my butt in gear and figure out what I need to take and get my stuff ready for classes. One of the ladies going here from one of the LSS, told me she is taking a Making Memories Runway Tote in stylish pink to carry all her stuff. I am thinking of doing the same possibly and wearing my cool pink Crocs (oh so omfortable!) as well. I was stopped about 6 times today and asked about them! Can't wait until we go. Will have to check with Janna-banana and see what she is taking!

Who Am I?

I saw on Tammy's Blog today her Muppet Test o I thought I would try this one too. She is Animal. I am Fozzy Bear.

You Are Fozzie Bear

"Wocka! Wocka!" You're the life of the party, and you love making people crack up. If only your routine didn't always bomb! You may find more groans than laughs, but always keep the jokes coming.

The Muppet Personality Test

You should try it out too!

SNOW...is it ever going to stop?

We are currently getting anywhere between 15-25 cm's of snow right now and it is not letting up. I am SO sick of looking at snow that I am ready to go on a long, hot, sandy vacation somewhere in the Carribean. Give me a few Pina Colads and some sun and heat and I am good to go!

We had our crop today and as I exprected 1/2 of the people registered didn't come which is totally understandable with the road and weather conditions. Thanks to everyone who did venture out. We had a great time with you! Our next crop is My 27th at the Burnewood Hall and April 1st at the Sherwood Park Pentecostal Church. Hope to see you at both events!

Stay warm everyone....I don't plan on going out unless I absolutely have to!

More Joaquin for today....okay I need my fill....

don't laugh but he just does it for me......mama needs some eye candy! he,he

Love these guys...

I don't know what music you all are into but I am really into Keane, Travis, Delerium and some great British bands. Video removed...sorry. Check out Keane at http://keane.com

So much to do....

Do you have those days that you just think what the heck?? I have so much to do, why did I schedule that? I have a busy next few months.

This week alone...Tomorrow ~ I have a pizza lunch I organized (at our old school), kids both have St. Patty's parties at school, have to take kids to Londonderry to Grandparents for weekend so I can work, going to a movie (Matthew McConaghey sp?) with Nikki & Sheryl. Saturday ~ working all day at our crop. If you live in the Edmonton area, you had better come or I am hunting you down with my little pitch fork mwhaa, haa, haa.... email me for details if you don't already know them renee@love2scrap.ca
Sunday ~ get kids from Londonderry, do homework with them, have to do shipments and L2S stuff as well as clean my house (oh I forgot that is one of my duties!). I still haven't put my laundry away I washed on Monday. There is a job for tonight.

I am pooped!!! Our retreat in April can't come soon enough!

Calgon take me away....

Look what I got today.....

my friend Lisa emailed me photos from our school dance from our kids' school. Lisa and I organized the dance. I was the "Corpse Bride". I loved my costume. looking back now though I should have put white paint on my arms.

We went to McDonald's for dinner before the dance. It was not Halloween when we had the dance so we had many weird looks. Lisa was a hippie. Her kids are the pirate and th Grim Reaper. My kids were the ninja and the witch.

Halloween is my favorite time of year....well besides Christmas of course!

Hair...what should I do?

Well I keep pondering....go light, stay dark....keep growing, cut off?

I need help. I love short hair but just get bored once I have it. I personally prefer lighter hair on me but get mixed reviews so lets let you be the judge. Here are some photos of me. What should I do? These photos are all within the last year.
What do you think? My hair grows pretty fast but I am not sure what looks better. Please help....

Oscar Party...pics...

Well we had a blast last week and as i am waiting for Sheryl to email me the photos of us at the party, here are the starlets we went as.

So much to say....

Well I got my Crocs and wow....those are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I will be buying me some more of those puppies! Highly recommended shoes! Especially if you have foot problems.

I was on Donna's web site the other day and saw her Poppet she had designed by artist Claudine Helmuth. Well I have mine being done as well. Here is Donna's. I asked for something scrapbook related as well. If you want her information please email me at renee@love2scrap.ca

I have been looking over my information for CKU and getting very excited to take some of the classes there. One I think will be really good will be Elsie Flanigan's. I have a couple back to back with her. She is so cool!


Got our tickets a couple days ago for The Shrine Circus. We are going on Saturday. I haven't been to the circus since I was young.

Lauren was told last weekend she is in bowling provincials on Sunday. My little 4 year old is kicking the older kids' butts. It is very strange seeing how good she is at only 4. My 7 year old son has his nose out of joint that she is in provincials and he isn't.

We are going out for dinner tonight for Jon's birthday. We are going to the Keg for dinner. My Mom, her boyfriend, my sister, niece, our 2 kids, my father-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and the 2 of us. Should be tight but I know Jon loves the Keg! Happy Birthday dear!

On the flipside...here is my daily dose of my boyfriend....

my daughter is too funny.....

Lauren cracks me up daily. She can be real pain in the cha-cha most of the time but then she redeems herself with this little bit of cutie-ness! Tonight we went out for dinner because "mommy didn't feel like cooking"...what else is new? We got home and she went and put on her jammies, her flip flops and her sleeping shades (?). The read on them "only a prince can kiss these lips". Okay I know totally inapporpriate for a 4 y.o. but she loves it! She is a Claire's junkie. She always asks for Claire's Gift Certificates. She is a 10 for $10 girl. This is one of her items! Gotta love her. She is so frickin funny!


So nice to know that not much is happening this week. Finally a breather! Dentist tomorrow (yikes!), Jon's birthday Thursday, swimming lessons Thursday and Laur is in bowling provincials on the weekend.

So nice to have breathing room!

Cool Scrapbook Shirts....

Have you seen Tenika Morrison's Scrapbook shirts line? They are so cool! Here is the link http://tenika.com Her shirts are very trendy and hip and from what I can see a good price as well.


OSCAR PARTY... my friend Sheryl is throwing an Oscar party on Sunday for Sheryl, my friend Nikki and myself. Okay do you know what us mid-30's gals are doing for fun??? We are wearing our Pj's over to Sheryls, doing boufant hair (or 40's-50's movie stars hair), wearing bold make-up and costume jewelry, eating finger food and drinking wine and to top it off, we are voting ahead of time on a shet of paper (we have all the nominees) who we think will win. We are puting money in a pot and the person who has the most correct wins the pot. Okay, I know we are nuts! But it sounds like fun doesn't it? This will definately be a scrapbook moment for sure! Here is us before hand....(this picture is 1 year and a half old). From left to right....Sheryl, me & Nikki.
