Our Kitchen Remodel
Hi Friends,
I have been so super busy this summer. If you don't know we moved into a new home! It is an older home so we have been fixing it up all summer. Here was our biggest project to date....
We found some nasty stuff when we started pulling the old kitchen out and some seriously tacky stuff! What do you think of our finished product? I still don't have dishwasher installed but after almost 2 weeks without runnning water in the kitchen I'm quite content with that for now lol. We just love the way it turned out! Next project...CRAFT ROOM! YIPPY! Hopefully I'll be back with another update soon on that ;)

4 Months to Chirstmas Blog Hop
Hi Everyone and welcome to the 4 Months to Christmas Blog Hop,
If you have arrived here from Kerry's Blog you are in the right spot. Well, my craft room is still not up and running since the big move (there were just too many renos we needed to work on first) but like I said last month I am the queen of planning ahead! I was able to get my summer Christmas cards (that does not sound right, I know lol) done before I had to pack up my old scrapbooking room mid July!
If you are new you might be wondering how this whole blog hop works.... there is a group of us crafters that have committed to creating two Christmas cards and (one die cut and one stamped image) posting them on the 25th each month and boy are we getting our cards done early and I LOVE it!
Thanks for stopping by today. Sara's Blog blog is your next stop.
Happy Crafting!

Guest Designer Die Cuttin' Divas
Hi Crafters,
It's it funny how life works out....I committed to be a Die Cuttin' Diva Guest Designer in the spring when we were just looking at houses. I didn't realize that I would be in the middle of moving when I signed up for the gig lol. Well, for those of you who know me I never back out of a commitment and I love to be prepared so I spent a bit of time in early July getting everything squared up in the craft room so I could still be ready to post when my turn came around. It's fun to look at what I created and thinking back to my old craft room while my new one remains neatly packed into boxes for now!
The best part is the challenge that I was signed up for was a super duper easy one and by far my favourite challenge to enter..."anything goes!" You just got to LOVE it! I hope you can play along with me and all the other Die Cittin' Divas this week. I can't craft but I can sure check out what everyone else is working on in their rooms!
Thanks Die Cuttin' Divas for letting me be part of the team this week and happy crafting!

***It's a bit messier then my usual scrapbook style but I am just getting back into after a couple years of card hiatus so I am feeling my way around to find my new style I guess.

Mini hearts are my SU punch...love that little thing to pieces!
The cute little saying in the top right was from a day by day calendar I think from last year. I have been saving that baby for a while ;)
All the stickers/title/bling is just stuff that has been in my stash for far too long but worked perfect on this layout!

Happy Birthday to me!
Hi Everyone,
As you can see from the title today is my birthday. Want to know how I spent it...I started the day at 7am packing, then at 9am took a 30 min crash nap (I am wiped out from the early mornings/late nights lately). At 10am I met my family for brunch and then went straight from there to the dentist because I chipped my tooth yesterday. Once I was done at the dentist I went to our new house to paint and paint and paint. I quit just in time to head out to supper with my hubby and now....I'm pooped! I got some great gifts though and wanted to share...I received a Kobo (purple) + a gift cert. to go with it, the Go Canada Cricut Cartridge, a new lounge chair (wish I was at the new house on the deck in it now) and some money. Here is a question for ya...should I break down and spend some of my bday money on a Smash book? Or just wait and make one myself once my craft room is back in action? I have been holding off because honestly I have everything to make one but they are just too cool! What do you think?
Well, I'm off to veg for an hour or so before I hit the bed like a ton f bricks. Tomorrow is another day of painting, painting and more painting!
Happy Crafting!

Craft room packed up
Hi Crafters,
Looking at the following photos makes me feel a little ill...My craft room has been offically packed up and not only has it been packed up but the entire apt. has been packed and many, many, MANY boxes are now being stored in my old craft room. I just LOVE this apt. so much I am sad to leave but it is time. We will be moving into our new house on Sat. The good news is I will have a much bigger crafting space but the bad news is it is currently in the unfinished basement, so I wil be without it for a while yet.
Anyways, thought I would let you have a glance into my life...
