Another tooth out and fun digi kit

Mason's second tooth fell out the night before last. He had a bit of a shark tooth thing going on, in that the tooth was already growing in behind the baby tooth before it fell out. It's really hard to get a good closeup of that! LOL No cavities! :)

Look at this jumbo balloon Graham got at the grocery store last week. We ran in quickly to get a couple of things and he was goofing around and laughing and an employee said Would Mr. Happy like a balloon? So we said, Okay and the next thing I know, she's tying this onto his wrist. What a hit!

PolkaDot Plum have a new kit out at Sunshine Studios. It's called Sensory Overload. It's fantastic, and chock full of good stuff. Check out the colours! Fun, bright and cheery, perfect for all sorts of layouts. I'm not sure what I like best, I really like those little string flowers. I'm betting the whole photo won't show up here, but I'm posting it anyway.


I'm off to make my Christmas cards. Happy Scrapping! :)

Student of the Week

Okay, so I haven't been on here in a couple of weeks and I'm totally late with the big news, but Mason was Student of the Week on the week ending November 7th! The date is wrong on his certificate though. If he wins Student of the Month, he gets tickets to a hockey game with the local OHL team. That would be pretty exciting for him. He flew out of school, just beaming and yelled I'm Student of the Week!! Here is his certificate:


I haven't been scrapping as much as I've wanted to lately, as I've been running around trying to get some Christmas shopping done and I think I'm done the boys. I still need to get something for 3 of my nephews and my Mom and Dad, and that'll be it. I did make some sample cards and I learned how to make a quickpage! Super cool! I've made a few in advance so when I get my photos back I just have to dump them in once I decide which ones I'm going to use.


KittyCat Designs has a new Christmas kit out called Celebrate December. It's available at Scrappy Thoughts. Here is a preview:

Also, new in the Sunshine Studio Store is PolkaDot Plum's We Give Thanks:




Hmmm. Pretty irritating that the whole picture isn't showing! I've tried all three size settings. There are parts of it you can't see but you get the idea. Isn't it pretty? It's not a typical fall/Thanksgiving kit; this kit is so versatile! I don't know what part I like best, the tags with doodled flowers, the notepaper, the glitter swirls... it's all so nice.









We have a busy weekend planned. Saturday morning we have our annual photos taken, then Mason has hockey and then both boys are going to a birthday party at a bowling alley across town. I think Graham and I will return some curtains we bought today that are too long while Mason is at hockey.

HUGE sigh of relief

Thank God I didn't lose all my pictures!! You can't imagine the huge sigh of relief when I restarted the computer and all was fine again. Sometimes the computer gets bogged down or something, maybe it just wants to induce a heart attack in me, but when I went to upload the Halloween photos, all the folders had disappeared and the cursor was just spinning and spinning.

Anyway, without further ado, here are the boys as Clone Trooper Captain Rex and Indiana Jones.





So busy, but with what?

I can't believe it's been over two weeks since I posted last. Things have been busy here, but I'm not sure what I've been busy with. Hallowe'en, field trips, birthday presents for my nephews, birthday parties for Mason's friends, hockey, work, laundry. Well, I guess that's what I've been busy with. LOL.

Here's a photo of Graham in his new PJs. He begged for these, and he loves them! Sometimes he wears them all day with his Santa hat on. :)
I was going to post the boys in their Halloween costumes, but my computer is acting up. I hope it'll get back to normal if I re-start the computer. I'm going to try that.

I've been so busy I haven't even had time to scrap, but I just have to post about this great new kit over at Sunshine Studios by Kristi and Dani. It's call Peanuts and Crackerjacks and it's a baseball theme of course! It will be perfect for T-ball photos! It's generic enough for lots of other layouts too. I really like the chainlink fence frame, the baseball stitching and the stars. I like the slightly grungy look too. Hmm, I'm very confused. When I preview this post I can see the whole photo of the kit, but when I upload it, I can't. Very annoying. You'll have to check out the store link to see the whole thing I guess.

You can buy it here: http://www.sunshinestudioscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=961&cat=0&page=1
