wearing my jeans today

wow it's Thursday already ! the week is flying by. work has been SO over-the-top busy this week, but i love it!

I wanted to do a quick post to say thanks to everyone for all the comments and Welcome notes ! And for the feedback ("um, a bit pink isn't it???) lol ! I had to agree...so i'm experimenting with templates.

anyway, thanks again, the comments are great!

i'm looking forward to today....it's sunny out, and the Canucks' Round 2 start tonight ! 6 pm , i will be ready. i wonder if I can fit in a visit to Michael's after work and before the game starts?? I might have to try, i have a 40 off coupon...and i am drawn to the store and cannot help myself to go use it :)

it's also 'Jeans Day' today - buttons are sold for $5, pins for $20...proceeds go to BC Children's Hospital...what a great cause !


OK, time to get going on the day...have a great day everyone!

general awesome-ness on a sunny sunday

Well it was a really nice Sunday today. I went for a good long walk along the Port Coquitlam Dyke with my friend Tracey and it was fabulous! We both commented on the peace and quiet, absolutely no traffic noise, the sun glinting off the water, the sun shining on our faces. We walked for about 1 hour, 40 minutes which was some excellent exercise in my book. Thanks, Tracey for re-introducing me to that area as I hadn't been there in oh, about 18 years. If anyone is interested in checking it out, it's at the end of Dominion Avenue, which is off of Ottawa. Then we went off to Starbucks and Tracey treated me to my "Skinny Sugar Free Extra Hot Vanilla Latte, please" - Delicious! Then Kin's Farm Market for fruit & veggies, the Bakehouse Bakery for a little chocolate treat, and then Coquitlam Center to search for Canucks Gear. I found a very cute Canucks tee shirt which I cannot wait to wear.
And now it's back to working on my Recipe Card for the Scrapaholics Club's 'Cakes, Cheesecake and Pie swap' due in May - mine is a "Decadent Chocolate Torte", which I baked and taste-tested a couple of weeks ago, it was pretty divine! ;)
Hope everyone else had a great Sunday in this awesome weather !

Yardwork and the misty glimmer : )


Good morning and happy Saturday!

The week has flown by, but here it is the weekend - yay! today i'm off to the gym, do a bunch of errands, as well as out to Surrey to help out at my mom's house to do some yardwork. Little does she know I don't know how to do yard-work! haha. We shall see how I do - lol! and here's hoping the rain holds off.

And I went to Jo's Card Class at POTP on Thursday night, it was great! We made four cards using glimmer mist, embossing powder, rub-ons, stamps and hand-made flowers - awesome! I'm posting a photo here to share what we made. thanks again Jo for the fun.

have a great day everyone : )

p.s. when oh when will the Round 2 schedule of the play-offs be posted? i can hardly wait.
