I won't let this fog get me down

No I won't.....even though it is really tough.I feel bad for my poor kids who can't seem to get a decent day to play outside.

I am super pumped to be going to an all day crop tomorrow hosted by Scrapbooking Gone Wild!!!! This is my first away IRL crop and I'm pumped.I've been packing,unpacking,re-packing.I needed to maximize my space and I had stuff I wouldn't use and forgot stuff I'll need,but the good thing is that there is a store right there.Not good for my bank account,but good for my scrapping.I'll be back on Sunday with an update:)Have a great weekend.

The LO tag for June has finished up at Skrapnchat and here is my layout for this month's tag.

If you ever get a chance to

buy or even go in and sniff these lotions,sprays and perfumes...........YOU MUST!They are the Victoria Secrets Body Rush line sold at La Senza.I first got a taste of a perfume that a friend of mine had bought for her daughter. I had no idea who made it,but it smelled just like cotton candy.A great sweet,funky teen scent.Well then I happened to stroll into La Senza last time I was in the city and they had a whole line of delicious smelling scents.There were shower gels and spritzers,but my fav was the Slice Of Heaven swirl body cream.It is the brown and beige one pictured on the end of the photo I've posted.I immediately purchased some for a friend,yes a friend, not myself but a friend that I needed a gift for.I will be buying some for me the next time though.I put it on my hand and I wanted to eat my arm off. Check them out girls! I'd never steer you wrong in the good smell department.

I'm pathetic!!!!!!!

at updating this,and you know what is even more pathetic than my updating abilities......OUR WEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly, I can't believe it.I'm going to build an ark soon.

Well we did manage to get away for a few days to have a change of scenery and do some shopping.The kids were pretty excited to do something different,but ended up missing some of the festivities at the end of the school year.It was their choice and they opted to go,so who am I to argue.

I'll be back shortly with a layout. I am just waiting for the LO tag to end,and then this weekend I am off to a real life full day crop!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so super excited.I was booked to go to one a few years back and Allyson got lice,so that was a no go.There is going to be lots of ladies,great food and a store on site. I'm pumped and I have money all saved.I'll have to leave here on the 6 am ferry,but who cares,I'm getting away to scrap for 10 hrs straight.YIPPEE......I will have to spend the night with my aunt and return home the next day.I'm sure I'll have lots to share when I get back.

I think I'm on the road to recovery

Man, I don't know what type of virus I picked up,but man it hung on an wiped me out.I guess it wasn't really a virus as I had to get some antibiotics to help with my sinuses.

Not much new to report around here.Kyle got back from Ottawa and had a blast.His favorite thing was the zip lining and rope obstacle course.He got himself beat up a bit on the zip line though.Burned a whole right through his glove trying to stop himself.Now I am not too sure this is something I would want to try.He came back with some snazzy new clothes and thankfully an almost washed off air brushed tattoo of a playboy bunny........LOL. I'd be burnt at the stake if that got shown around these parts:)

His photography skills suck however!

Here is a photo of the class,which is mainly boys......not always a good thing.Kyle is the one looking oh so cool under the 1 in 1918.



Here is another one of him and his friend in their newly purchased purple AE shirts. Man, Kyle looks like a peanut next to this guy.........lol


Seriously I laughed right out loud. I never thought Kyle was small,but this kid comes from a family of tall big built people so maybe that is it.

I am going to search through is very few photos and see if I can find anymore.I need to impress upon him the importance of taking photos I guess.

Well He's Off

I got up bright and early this morning to see Kyle off on the 6:00 am ferry to start his long bus ride to Ottawa.This is the trip that they have planned and fundraised for all year.He was so excited,and me well I was frantic trying to make sure he had everything and then worried that he won't return with half of it.This is the longest and farthest away from home that he has been without me:( I sent him with a camera,so let's hope he gets some decent photos.Photos of nice things,not boys acting dumb and cute girls.

As for my tongue.........still not normal,but better.I keep burning it though,since I can't completely feel it.I can't explain it.People wonder how I know it is burned if I can't feel it,but trust me I do.Food feels weird on it and tastes funny too.

Good Day Fellow Blog Readers

Once again I have been slack in updating. I really hope that this changes.At least once the weather improves I should have some outdoor photo opportunities.

We had a great stretch of good weather,but lately it has been back to the drizzle and fog.Makes me want to curl up and have a nap every afternoon,which is not good and habit forming.

Not much is new.I've started going to classes at our new fitness center and I really, really like them.I was sore,real sore the first few times,but now it is getting better.I have worked muscles I didn't even know I had.

I went to the dentist on Monday for a filling and it seems as though he hit a nerve when injecting the freezing,so now I am left with a partially numb tongue for what he told me may be weeks!!!!!! It feels terrible and food just doesn't taste the same :( Leave it to me to end up with something like that.

I'll leave you with a LO I did of Evan,after coming home with his certificate telling me he had moved up in his reading.Evan is all boy and really doesn't want to put much effort into school work.He'd rather put it into playing.This was a big step for him and me. I was so proud and still am! You wait and wait for them to move and then finally they do.The waiting is hard on the parent.I have a tendency to be the Homework Hitler,so I've been told,so this made it seem worth it all.

HAPPY NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I know it is typically only a day,but in the on-line scrapping world it's all weekend! Yippee......

What could be any better than on-line friends,on-line games,challenges to get your mojo flowing,and in participating you get some layouts completed!

I'll be taking part in the festivities at Skrap-N-Chat and The Paper Passion.That is what I love about the scrapping world.There is lots of variety,different places to have fun and many many great people :)

I hope to be back soon with what I have accomplished this weekend.Let's hope I can stop chatting long enough to participate.

To all my on-line scrap buddies where ever you are hanging out this NSD I hope you have fun and enjoy yourself.
