Forgot to post a LO

I was rereading my blog and I realized that I forgot to post a LO.  It was a quick LO about Tamara wearing the same t-shirt in the last few LOs that I created.  I tried to stamp and heat emboss the butterflies across the page - though the picture doesn't do it justice.  Made a couple of mistakes that are now embellished.  So the page didn't come out quite how I wanted it.  But that's okay - it's all about learning & having fun.

I also am working on making a photo collage of family photos.  Decided I wanted some cohesion by having them all framed in brown frames to match our decor.  So I've been shopping around.  I wanted to replace a couple of older frames and I have searched and searched but have been unable to find frames that fit unless I want to spend over $100 getting them custom framed.  Then an idea hit me.  Why not paint the frames?  So I did.  Now I'm in the process of laying them out and trying to figure the spacing on the wall.  These next pics are where I'm almost certain of the order of the photos and the template for the wall:

A couple of days ago, three of us friends went for pedicures in anticipation of our upcoming trip to Mexico:

Here's to warm weather, whether it's here or some other place in the world.  =) Lisa

Spring is here?

Yes.  The calendar tells me that it is spring.  But living in Alberta I know to expect snow, anytime.

Here's our apple tree half buried by the snow even after the melt yesterday:

Then I have a couple of LOs for you:

And then a quick look at the mini books I learned to make from my friend Dar:

Well that's about it.  The weather forecast says this week will be in the pluses and sunny.  Here's to sunny, warm weather!  =) Lisa

Wall Decal

I got some bad news today about my friend and am feeling worried.  I'm hoping and praying that things will turn out better than expected.  I am sending her positive vibes.

I wanted to get out of my funk a little bit and talk about the cool wall decal that I got from Walmart.  I've gotten decals from IKEA and I have to say that I like the one from Walmart much better.  It was way easier to handle.

I put up the decal yesterday in my bedroom and I really like the results though I don't think the pictures I took did it justice.

Here's a look:

Here's to those little moments that brighten your day.  =)  Lisa

Valentine's Wknd in Lake Louise

Just sharing a few pictures from this fabulous weekend my husband took me on in Lake Louise.

And the last LO I did:

It's the start of the family day long weekend.  Hope you enjoy!  =) Lisa

Retired & Building

July 2006 was the month I retired from the RegF and into my new chapter of life.  The house Myron & I bought was just in the middle of being built.  Here's a couple of LOs from then.

Here's to sunny winter day! =) Lisa
