Welcoming 2010

It's hard to believe that in a few hours, 2010 is going to be here. I remember NYE 2009, with the thoughts on disaster on the horizon when the clock struck midnight. I can't help but giggle a bit.

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and since I'm back up and running (my computer decided it'd be a good time to die on me a fwe weeks ago. Good thing Boxing Day was just around the corner...), I will be posting some layouts soon.

Winter Snow Storm

... and boy, did it hit hard. The forecast called for 20 cm in 9 hours, and I don't doubt that we got it. And because of the heavey snowfall warning for pretty much the entire province, the President of our school sent out an e-mail to everyone telling them to leave the school by 2pm. I didn't (as I had a huge final project due that night), but I did manage to leave by 3:30pm.

And, due to a cold and blizzardy night, I was forced to stay indoors where it was nice and warm. Good thing there was a 2peas crop going on, because that motivated me to get some layouts done!

Wedding pt. 2

In August we went to a wedding that spanned 2 days. The first day was a beautiful Indian wedding - the colors were amazing. Sadly, we weren't allowed to take pictures, so I don't have anything to show from that day (other than Josh wearing a lovely purple head scarf, LOL).

The next day was their Christian wedding, so I was able to score some pictures from that. And, I finally got around to scrapping them (using another one of Sketchy Thursday's sketches).

Cute Christmas Gift Idea

How adorable are these nesting bowls. I can think of a million ways to use these. I mean, how many spare embellies do we all have laying around. These would be perfect. Eco Chic Hand Knits has so many cute things that are perfect for gift giving - you should check 'em out!

My little batdog!

On Halloween, we dressed Brodie up as "Batdog". I love the attention he gets from all of the little trick-or-treaters when they come to the door. I'm one proud momma!

Thank You

Josh received a gift from one of his aunts, so his mom and I got on his butt to send a thank-you card. So, he put me on it (anything to avoid going to the store), and I made this simple thank-you.



Ingredients:
Crate Paper Blue Grass collection, MS loopy border punch, MS ribbon and a Michaels thank-you stamp.

Okay, I admit I'm a couple days later, but I just wanted to share a picture of our pumpkin from this year.
