In COLD denial....

Actually, just generally in denial (for those who know me know what I mean). This is the week we brought out our winter parkas - mitts, toques, the whole bit. It is pretty darn chilly in the wee morning hours that we've been heading out since I've been going back to work. Anyway, on a warmer note, here's more catching up from the summer with some random everyday pics from July & August.





Products I used to adorn these summery good pics are, of course, mostly found in the Little Dreamer Shoppe.

Fairies & Toadstools

New in the Little Dreamer shoppe .....
This kit seemed to take forever to come together but I'm really pleased how it turned out.

Going back a bit...highlights from Radium/Edmonton

Since I haven't blogged for so long I should backtrack a bit. Here are a few pics highlighting our road trip to Radium Hot Springs (where we met and camped with my folks). From there we joined extended family at Ryan & Cherie's wedding in Edmonton, Alberta. Mark (my brother) and Crystal shared their hotel room with the kids and I. It was cozy and fun. Their dog Daisy stayed there too! The photo frames are Leora Sanford's design and can be found and purchased in the Little Dreamer shoppe here

yay!!!! My blog is prettier! :)

My friend Kathy has been 'encouraging' me to decorate my blog for awhile now.....and finally.........here it is! I'm really bad with data-lingo so she was kind enough to do it for me.....THANK YOU KATHY! Looks much more like home now.

been awhile......

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted. I guess that's what happens when there's a newborn on the scene! Charlie is doing great, sleeping well at night, which makes all the difference. Can't believe he's 2 months already.

Last week the weather was beautiful, we were able to walk Ella to school everday. I actually got out for a run twice (this is quite funny and very unusual - I'm sure that if people saw me running by they'd know right off the hop that I am out of my element running. The first clue being my Nike runners circa 1990.....oh my.....I just realized....my runners are 18 YEARS OLD!!!!!) :O

Brent tuned up the kids bikes and they took them out for their first spin.......

This week, http://www.littledreamerdesigns.com/ shoppe is celebrating their 1st birthday with a big week long sale, blog challenges, freebies, prizes. Be sure to catch the last couple of days, there's some pretty sweet deals. :)

Here's my latest kits in the shoppe:

And a few of my lastest layouts:

Tonight I'm going to my monthly 'block scrap' with my neighbor ladies........usually not too much crafting happens........but always plenty of snacking and a glass of wine or 2! ;)

Surprise! Charlie's here.....

div>Last Tuesday (Feb 26), 3 weeks before my due date, our beautiful baby boy Charlie decided to surprise us. He weighed 6 lbs 9 oz and was 19 3/4" long. He is absolutely dreamy and we are all completely in love with him. Here are a few pics......



Looks like Brent is the one in labor........

Valentine treats now in the LDD shoppe....xoxo

Here's a few new Valentine goodies I have in the Little Dreamer shoppe. Valentines really snuck up on me this year. Made some Valentine sugar cookies with the kids this afternoon, they love decorating them and I must say the process gets more hygenic every time we make them. We no longer have to 'flag' the ones Ben decorated! ;)
