Quote Challenge

I used the Spring Blossoms blog train mini by Inspired by Dominic Designs.  It was for a Creative Team Quote Challenge - what fun!  Enjoy...

At The Shop

For Luke, spending time with his Deeda and Grandpa are amongst the best things he can do. Going to the shop to see Grandpa and all the big machines puts him over the moon and a ride in a loader can be the topper for the whole week!  We did just that, and of course I took photos.  60+ pictures later and many layouts to come I've done two more pages.  I used Inspired By Dominic Designs CopperWorks Kit and the great Granite Alpha.  

Paper Pages and Projects

Luke and I had fun tonight doing some 'Easter' present pages for his Grandma, Grandpa and Alberta Grandparents (Grandma Jacki and Papa Dude).  He did one for his Deeda, but Deeda wasn't feeling well enough to help him do one for Mama...that's okay little man!  Mama knows you do great pages!

I'll post pictures tomorrow - he cuts, crops, glues and uses stickers.  We sure had fun and he explained why he did each thing on the page and then proudly went to show his Daddy (Deeda).  It makes my heart feel so good to see him proud of his creations, and have fun doing them.

I think I'll chat more when I post his photos tomorrow, did a new blog header (did you notice?) and am hoping my DH can sleep through the night with his bronchitis...poor big guy!  I love them so much...so tomorrow I'll chat about the preschool scrapbook project I am doing and show you Luke's latest pages. Night all!  

Note: decided to 'edit' rather than do a new post so the pages won't get lost :-)  Here are some of Luke's creative pages on my Facebook album.  Click here!

Tropical Get Away...

This great kit is available at: http://inspiredbydominicdesigns.blogspot.com/ and this is my creation with it, more to come but had to share this one...photos from today, sentiments from today as well from my little man Luke.  I call it "Wish We Were Here" and I think you will agree!

New Kits, New Collab - Come & Play!

It's been a busy couple of days, even with Earl not feeling well, doing house stuff, furniture stuff and studying and watch the snow s-l-o-w-l-y melting....no really warm days but the must be just around the corner. Question is how far are we from that corner?  :-)

I did a new page with Aisne's new kits, check them out here: http://aisne-creations.blogspot.com/  They are for the new challenge so you gotta do it!  I did my page using the boy colors, and it's a 'pre trip' page for when we go to Disney World next year!  I did it using my 'dream' resort, we may not stay there but we'll visit it often I'm sure!

This collab kit is awesome, and even better you get to see some great designers and their blogs..check  it out at:

Don't forget to check out all the designers and leave them some love - everyone li

kes that!

I rode the Spring Blog Train...

and it was awesome, not that I'm done yet...there are 91 (you saw it correctly ninety one) designers contributed so when you are done you'll have a HUGE mega kit. All for FREE!  Thanks to everyone who did this...Amazing stuff.

I've put my name in to a couple of designers for being on the Creative Team - something I really enjoy. Cross yer fingers...

Speaking of crossing fingers, we are all still hoping that the flooding won't be terrible here or for our friends once again in North Dakota.  We are getting ready and prepared for the worst which is better than not planning at all.  Another blog from someone in North Dakota is Jill DZine!  Check it out...

Going to do some pages, check the animals and help my DH study for his last three exams...then he is done his Ag Diploma...wahoooo!!

More later when the coffee kicks in...just had to let you know about the Blog Train!

Not spring showers, spring snows...

And here we go again with the snow - at least it's going to slow down the run off, a bit, but with the ice everywhere I'm not sure if it will gain us much ground for flooding.  It could end up delaying things rather than actually preventing them...but in the spirit of spring, and wanting needing wishing hoping and praying for spring...okay I give up we'll have what we'll have.  Just might delay our spring planting, our cows might calve on less green grass and our spring road trip might not happen when we thought...no worries...just the way things go! C'est la vie!

But of course we are getting close to the end of exams, and you'll probably find a long rant about being done school on my sweet hubby's blog at http://smilincoyoteranch.blogspot.com once he has time after exams are over and he is destressed.

For now I'm doing my work on my working group, volunteering with MERA and the new Steinbach Humane Society and of course hanging out with my little man Luke and my big man Earl.  We have a busy few weekends coming up with a presentation, a scrapping crop and a fundraiser (find out more at http://steinbachhumane.blogspot.com).

Here are my new pages...enjoy...share your comments and hopefully I'll be doing some CT pages again and there'll be even more from great designers.
