November already!

How was everyones Halloween yesterday?

We had a fun time at my daughters Halloween party at school.

Here are some pictures:

                                          Arriving at school with her brother.

                                          Digging for some bugs, skulls and rats among other things!

                                          Decorating a pumpkin cookie.

                                          Crafting project. I think it was a jack-o-lantern door hanger.

                                           Halloween Bingo!

                                          Ready to go trick-or-treating!  Spidergirl and Black Spiderman!

Hope everyone had a great night, it was quite chilly last night. My sister and i took the kids out around the neighbourhood. We came back in 45mins later because it was so windy! Although, the kids did make a good hauling of candy =) 

I'm excited its November already. That means Christmas is right around the corner. This year i'm going to try to start my Christmas shopping early! haha... we'll see how that goes. Has anyone started their Christmas shopping yet?

thanks for stopping by!

2 Layouts

 Heres a rare treat! I haven't really gotten into scrapbooking pages. But i have so many great 12 x 12 pages that i think i'm going to try to make some more layouts this year/ next year.

First one i have is way back in 2007. Yes, i'm so behind.... haha. My little one was a baby chickie!
Papers from DCWV ( calendar kit)
Stickers: Sticko

Second, i combined 2 photos from 2008 and 2010.
Kaida loves dressing up in pretty dresses. Her Princess Ariel costume from a few years back still gets worn every other day! =)
Papers: DCWV-  the All About Girls Stack
             Basic Grey
Others: Foam thickers, Imaginisce i-rock, twine.

Anyone dressing up for Halloween? We've been invited to my daughters kindergarten Halloween Party. I will definitely be taking my camera with me!

Happy Thanksgiving Canada!

Happy Thanksgiving!
We had our turkey dinner yesterday as some family members had to work today.

Our feast consisted of turkey, ( my mom cooked the turkey and carved it at home before she brought it over), scalloped potatoes, sweet potatoes, crab stuffed mushrooms, bread stuffing, spinach dip and apple/pear spinach salad.

Photos of my monkeys!

Yummy white chocolate with raspberry flavoured icing cupcakes!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

A Card or 2!

Hello!
Summer is slowly winding down here, not that we got much of a summer =(
It was rain and cloudy and cool weather! Which i'm sure some of you would've loved to have in your sweltering summer heat.

Anybody who has kids knows its almost that time of year again. Back to school! or in my case, a first timer. My little girl Kaida is heading to kindergarten. I can't believe the time has flown by so fast. She just had her vaccines/immunizations today and got her regular check-up. Shes a whopping 40lbs.. hahhaa.

Hope your end of summer/beginning of fall days are going great so far.

2 cards for you today. One is another Thank you card. Seems you can never have enough of these on hand =)




The second is another Birthday Card. My friends baby boy turned 1!
I used some smooch ink, on the embossed letters, but the lighting is not so good it didn't really show up... ooops!


What are you looking forward to this fall?

thanks for dropping by!
