Crazy Weather & Valentines Day

Wow, we have had some crazy weather here this week.

I'm orignally from Wallaceburg, my mom and sister still live there. Well they had some very scary situations with the melting ice and water flow in the river.  I saw this video on Youtube and thought you may like to have a look.  I've have never seen it like this before.

Happy Valentines Day

Yes today is the day that all those Love Birds get to go out for supper and give special little gifts.  What are we doing today?  Well, hubby is working and my oldest daughter has a hockey game tonight in Windsor.  So we are picking up one of her teammates and heading to Windsor.  First to do some shopping, than we'll meet Hubby and go for supper than watch another exciting Hockey Game!  We do not normally buy each other gifts it's just not something that we do!  

Below is a New Valentine Stamp Set from Stampin Up!  called Love You Much 
Regular Price: $34.39  It's a great one to use for Valentines and even Anniversay cards. 

Hope you and your Loved Ones have a wonderful day today!  Keep safe!

Here is a picture of one of my favourite sets.  It's called Crazy for Cupcakes.  I'm sure this is a copy of one I have seen on the web.  If it's yours... Thanks!!!

I'm still getting use to this Blogger stuff. It's not as easy as it seems!!!!

Have a great night

Boy, I want to keep this blog going and I just cannot seem to do it! Why is that? What is it in me that will not keep me focused? I do not know! I'm going to try this again and will introduce my blog to customers ... maybe you guys will keep me going! If I have to have someone that I need to be accountable to maybe that will keep me focused.

We have been busy renovating our home! Boy what a lot of dust and dirt! It will be exciting when it's all done! I'm tired of living with kitchen cupboards that do not close!!!

Next weekend will be a Mega Crop and Card weekend at my kid's school .. Chatham Christian School. I will be there on Friday night and Saturday manning a booth with another demonstrator, and teaching classes. There are a lot of classes being offered by other crafters over the 2 days! here is the link for you to look at. If you can come out be sure to contact Janet Pilon (yep we're related!) She will get you signed up.

Here are samples of the classes that I am teaching:

A Waterfall 6x6 Scrapbook

A Viewmaster Card


4 Simple Cards



You can sign up for these and other classes if you are coming to the Mega Scrapbooking Weekend.
Any questions? Just send me an email or leave a comment.

Starting Over

Hi All,

Well here I go again.  I'm starting my Blog over again in hopes that I will be much more faithful to making entries.  

I want to grow my Stampin' Up business and if I can keep this updated than I may have that chance.

We had a wonderful Christmas and New Years with family and friends and now it is time to start with 2009. 

I hope that you all had a safe Holiday and will be refreshed to start the New Year.  May 2009 bring you Happiness, Love and Contentment!

Stampin' Up has some great things going on!  I just noticed that they are expanding their Decore Elements Line and we will be able to order some fantastic new products in Mid January!

Sale-a-Bration will be starting soon and the New Spring Catalog will be available in Mid January as well.

I'll be posting some new samples and trying to keep this blog going (again!) :)  I have so many plans and not always the drive to keep them up!

Hopefully this time I will!
