I haven't posted any scrapbook pages in a couple of months, so here are a few I made recently.

Some I made the other day:

These are all from 2005.









( a couple more from karly and kris' wedding )

I was a punk rocker.

I did this for a challenge/competition over at http://scrapinstyletv.com.
It was based off of the first episode of Project Runway, season 5. There were a list of items we had to choose from, and we had to pick 2. It has to be a 8.5x11 layout. I made something totally different than I usually would! I used a flyswatter (the house) and cupboard liner (the grass) mixed in with other products and a cut out photo of the fam. :-)

wow I am a posting queen today.

I put in another order at purpleonionedesigns.com today! There's a sale going through the 28th- everything is 25% off with the code BIG5. Awesome deal! They are unmounted stamps, and the last time I ordered I got my order super fast and she threw in some extra little stamps. :-)

Here's what I ordered:










After work I am off to dinner with Becca and Melissa. Tomorrow it's lunch with Ben & Lauren and crew on our Dark Knight at the Imax outing, and then dinner with Timi's monthly dinner club at 3 Square in Maple Grove. Woo. I guess Sunday I will actually be cooking a meal. Heh. Hope you all have a great weekend!

My weekend consisted of:

Two times at the gym
Two times at the grocery store
Unpacking my huge box of Tupperware stuff and re-organizing the kitchen to put it away
Scrapbooking some of James and Michelle's wedding
Eating every meal at home
Cleaning the house
Spending hours in the kitchen yesterday cooking and cleaning, and hanging out with the random cousins and friends we had over for the Super Bowl. The last of them left at 11PM.

I somehow pulled a muscle in my arm and it kills.

Only 4 work days this week as Friday morning we are flying to Vegas! It can't come soon enough.

Here is one of the pages I did.


And finally, here is the sign I made for our front door.


It's snowing today and the drive home from work is sure to be FUN!

where i make stuff and keep the things i use to make stuff.

We use one of the bedrooms in our house as an office, and half the room is mine for scrapping/crafting.

This is where most of my stuff is held:



It's an Expedit bookcase from IKEA. LOVE!

The temperature is currently 18 degrees. What?

I am wearing a long sleeve shirt and a thick sweater and I have a blanket in my lap. I'm freezing! My office needs to turn the heat on or something. It feels like the air conditioning is on. Brrrrr.

Last night our realtor came over and he was impressed with all the changes we've made. We signed the papers and everything, and by Saturday our house should officially be on the market. Crazy! While he was over, there was a loud knock on the front door, which startled us all. I did not have any clue who it might be. Trevor opened the door and it was ADAM! Adam is one of Trevor's old roommates who was originally from Alaska and had moved back there. We were quite surprised and happy to see him. He moved back! Nick was with him, another one of Trev's old roomies that lives in Fergus, so it was fun to see him too. They had a couple of girls with them. Apparently they had all just gone and picked Adam up at the airport and thought it would be fun to surprise us. So fun! Adam and Nick were also impressed with the house. Adam said, "You've girlified the house and now you're going to leave?" Ha. It used to be quite the bachelor pad...

I worked on my scrapbook of my childhood photos last night and FINISHED it. It feels good to have that book done! Mom is giving me the next album to do when we go there for Easter, but I'll take a break before I start up again.

It's crazy and awesome how clean and uncluttered our house is right now. It's great to wake up to such a clean place. It feels so nice to have everything in order and know where everything is. I think I'll miss all the personal photos I had up, but I can live without them for now. Thinking about moving to a bigger house in a safer neighborhood is really exciting to me...being somewhere where I don't get freaked out going outside at night would be awesome! haha.

It's Karin night tonight. Karin's coming over and we're going through my itunes to pick out some music for her aunt and uncle's wedding, and then we'll probably watch a movie. Trev and Steve (her hubby) will both be at pool leagues.

Still freezing....brrrrrr.....

Trev and I in front of our house. This is when it was just his house and we had just gotten engaged. ;-)
