POTD April 24th, 25th and 26th

I know, I know...I've been bad and it's been 3 days since I uploaded my POTD's...my bad! So here's how I've seen things these past few days :)

Tired of the blah rainy westcoast weather,

I bought myself some flowers to brighten

our kitchen. So pretty, flowers always

make me smile. :D

Before any one wonders if this is about

POLITICS, it IS NOT!!! but since we

have an election coming up, everytime

I've seen this sign, I always think about

our friend down in California. Mike is

great, and seeing this sign makes me smile.

(PS I couldn't tell you anything about the

Mike this refers too, lol!!)

My early birthday gift to myself. I have wanted

a Cricuit for quite some time, and when I saw it

at Walmart on rollback for $120 less then normal,

I couldn't resist. And then I got the 2 cartridges

for only $29 each on clearance. Big score for me!

POTD April 22nd and 23rd

My scrapping score yesterday, I shopped two

different stores and only paid full price for one

of the items here...love good deals. Less then

$40 for all of this...yay me!!!

Today's shopping trip to the grocery store for

all the goodies for Easter dinner. And a hint

of spring for the kitchen table. :)

POTD April 21st

Attention Surrey Residents, no need for alarm!!

This glowing yellow ball in the sky is the SUN!!!

Now I know it has been a while since it's been

seen in our skies, but today, the grey clouds

parted, revealling blue skies, and this

wonderful, warm radiating light. Imagine

the possibilities if it frequented our lives

just a bit more often....SPRING possibly??

POTD April 20th

Newest boxset!!! Bones is done, Castle is done, Big Bang Theory done, Flashpoint started, and now we are on to a new Crime drama...CSI NY!

Why CSI NY instead of all the other CSI's out there??? If you are asking that, then you don't know my hubby all that well...lol..he was born and raised on the West coast of Canada, but he's NY through and through :)

Just having fun

I loved this picture as soon as I saw it. Taken in

Whistler just last weekend, and even though

half my face is behind my hood, I really like it.

This LO is a rare one for me as it contains NO

journalling! Just having fun with it, some inking,

some ribbon, some stapling, some tearing, and

even some dimension. Sometimes it's just about

having fun, being creative, and seeing what happens.

POTD April 18th and 19th

My newest favorite tool for scrapbooking. I actually

got this punch thinking I would use it for my journaling,

but I have ended up using it for my photos more, and

love how the pictures look punched out in this shape.

For sure my all time go to paper. I love this kraft

cardstock, and only this one, from Stampin Up.

It is so accurate a color and no other company

compares to the color. And it's the only flat cardstock

I use, as I am usually a Bazzill textured person.

Whistler getaway

These following pages are all from our recent get away to Whistler. I did 4 8x8 pages which I did to include all the extra stops along the way, and then the two 2 page LO's of the main part of our trip. I have been addicted to my craft cardstock lately, from Stampin Up and just realized I need to order more asap.
