Back from NYC and New Catalogue!

Good Evening! The kids and I had a fabulous time in NYC. We visited with my Mom and step - Dad and enjoyed the NY Hall of Science. We hit the M&M's, Hershey and Lego store!! It was HOT and HUMID but didn't slow us down too much. The boys bought water guns to cool themselves off which was a bonus in their books. I can't believe it's July 1st tomorrow and the start of a new Stampin' Up! catalogue. WOW!! I love all the new products and can't wait to get my hands on some of the great stamp sets that will be available. Don't forget about my Open House next Wed. If you haven't RSVP'd, I have about 3 spots left. It's a free event with a mega garage sale!! Happy Canada Day Everyone!

Father's Day On Board Scrapbook

Father's Day is just around the corner and last weekend I held a kids' class so they could make this cute book. It was really fun to watch them creating their masterpieces. I just love these Stampin' Up! On Board books. They are inexpensive and are so easy to customize. We used some designer paper, punches, stamps and brads. I hope all the Dads love their memory book!!

Celebrating Anniversaries

Yesterday, my wonderful hubby and I celebrated 17 years of marriage. Where did the years go? It's been a roller coaster ride but have to say most of the times have been "ups"! We were able to celebrate last night with friends who were celebrating 20 years of being together (married for 11 of them). Tonight my dear friend Jen came over and I helped her design and assemble some little cards to put on the tables at her grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary! We had a great time and it was really fun to work together. Here's a pic and think these are such a great idea to get people mingling around at the tables as they read the definitions on the cards. "Define Your Life" is one of my favourite stamp sets and I use it often on cards and scrapbook pages. We used So Saffron, Night of Navy and Whisper White to give a classic look. Enjoy!
