Time to pick the winners :)

Here are the winners from my give away for being on my Blog/YouTube for 2 years :)



Onto My Day:
Ashley was working today, but we all met at Canadian Tire and had a hot dog, lol.
Went to the vendor then ate in the jeeps. Ashley, Heather and Kristy in one, Wayne and I in the other...so romantic, lol.
Then Wayne and I bought matching new helmets. His old helmet is from 1980 and he did get in an accident while wearing it when he was in his teens. He should have bought a new one years ago.

Went to the mall and did some returns of some Christmas gifts that were flawed.
Then we all (except Ashley as she had to go back to work) went grocery shopping.
I love Wayne being off, as he likes to cook ;) Plus Kristy cleaned, bigger bonus :)

Tonight was Scrapbooking Friday Night.
Funny thing was I forgot until Wayne asked who was all coming tonight, lol.
I had such plans to do a 2 page layout on our failed family Christmas photo shoot, but didn't get the photos developed.

I hope you all had a creative Friday :)

No need to Kiss a Toad ;)

Today is the last day to enter my 2 Year give away, so if you haven't entered yet go to it, Click Here :)
I am giving myself a challenge. I am not allowed to purchase anymore stamps until I use the ones I have, at least once.
So expect lots of cards and even some Christmas ones ;)

I made another card today :)
I made this one for my sister, Julia. Her birthday is this month :)
This is the paper I was going to use yesterday.
This image looks a bit blurry to me..so either the photo is a bit blurry or I really do need glasses ;)

 I added some sparkle to the little fairy's wings :)
I added glue with the glue pen and added powdered glitter. Turned out lovely, but it sure makes a mess.

 Isn't she a little cutie :)

 I came up with the top sentiment on my own.
I thought it was fitting not only with the image on the card, but my sister is happily divorced, lol.


Onto My Day:
I was pathetic today....I didn't even get dressed. Seriously.
First I slept in, I mean really slept in.
Then everyone was taking showers, so I thought I would do my book work while I waited for the shower to be free. I guess I really got into my work, because before I knew it, it was like 4:00. So what the heck I wasn't going anywhere anyway, so I just stayed in my robe all day.
Funny thing, Ashley boyfriend came over. I hid but then had to go downstairs to get some papers and who do I run into Tyler....so much for be sneaky, lol.

So I have completed my book work for the month, yeah, I balanced :)
But next....Year end.

Thankful Thursday:
I finished month end :)
Making a card.
I got to colour again :)
Another stamp inked up...one step closer to purchasing some more cute ones, teehee.

I hope you all had a creative Thursday :)

Tracy :)

Cake anyone?

I made a card today for my niece's Birthday :)
As always, I coloured the image first.
Then grabbed some really pretty dark blue paper with sparkly flowers on it.
Then I stamped some balloons and added sparkle embossing powder and inked it blue.

Oh you say, there isn't any blue paper or sparkly balloons on here.
That's right...I scrapped that idea and started new, lol.
I thought this paper was more fun then the other paper.
I found this sentiment that I had cut off of an envelope.



I never understood this saying. "Have your cake and eat it too". Anyone can have their cake and then eat it...but can you "Eat your cake and have it too". Now that would be the ultimate gift. No matter how much of your cake you ate, you still have more ;)



Oops got off topic, I was talking about the card wasn't I? Cake does that to me, teehee.

Onto My Day:

Kristy and I ran to pick up some of my work, and then went to the grocery store.

As we were gone Wayne plowed the driveway. Its easier for him to do when the driveway has no vehicles in it.

Kristy wanted to go and get her ring checked out. Good thing she did as the stone is loose.

I asked about my wedding ring as part of it is broken. But I hate to leave it there. I told you I was very sentimental. My ring is still on my finger.

Hubby and I made supper together.

Then I said to him, that he could cook and I would clean up after him.

He asked me if I liked to wash dishes.

Nope, but I rather wash the dishes then cook, lol.

I think he used almost every pot I had.

We spent most of our day..me doing my book work, as I watched Band of Brothers with Wayne.

He watches this at least twice while he is off work. Which means "I" watch it at least twice when he is off.

If you remember, last year Wayne bought a TV to put in the living room to play video games on.

Today Kristy asked him to put it out. I think she wants to try her hand at his war games :)

Nothing like Father-Daughter bonding, teehee.

Oh Ya, I broke the closet door while getting out the recycles.

Everyone has to jam them in there. Not sure why my family has a fear of taking out the bag before it overflows?

So I got a little heated while reefing the bag out of there, oops.

Hope you had a creative Wednesday.

My Projects from 2011

Yesterday I shared the cards I made from last year.
Today I am going to share with you some projects that I made last year.
So grab your favourite treat and enjoy the video :)


Onto My Day:
Today was banking day.
I bought Canadian Savings Bonds for the girls 10 yrs ago.
Today was the day to cash them in. For a $100.00 savings bond I got back $129.99.
At first the teller was impressed until she realized I had it for 10 years not 1 year, lol.
Worked again today.

Hope you had a creative Tuesday :)

Tracy:)

My Cards from 2011

I uploaded a video with all the cards that I made in 2011.
It is about 9 minutes long, so grab a cup of your favourite beverage and enjoy the video :)


Onto My Day:
Spent most of my day working.
Not only is it month end, it is also year end, so no creating for me for awhile.
Ashley took her sisters (Heather and Kristy) out for dinner tonight.
Isn't that so sweet of her. They went to Montana's for supper :)

Wayne made a taco dip and we watched (you guessed it) zombie movies while we munched on our treat and I did my book work.

If you haven't entered my give away yet go to this POST, Give Away to enter :)

Hope  you had a creative Monday :)

2 Years on myBlog and a Give Away :)

Not only is it the 1st day of 2012, but it is also my 2 year Blogiversary today!!!
And I have posted every day ;)
And because of the day today I am doing a Give Away :)



I would like to thank every one of you for leaving me such wonderful comments on here. And because of that I want to show you my appreciation by doing this give away.
I love my blog, it is an extension of myself. Is that odd?

Onto My Day:
I slept in real late. I love to stay up late, and sleep in :)
I was hoping to work on my Project 365 from last year, but didn't seem to get to it today.
Today was a lounging day. We didn't do too much.

I hope you all had a creative day today :)

Tracy :)

Happy New Year :)

Good Bye 2011....Hello 2012

My Resolutions for 2011 were:

Scrap booking:

Do a double page layout once a month..... Epic Fail, I did 1 double page layout this whole year.

Try my hand at some sketches...... Fail, I think I may have done 1

Try some challenges....... Yeah...I did and complete my He-Art journal :)

Finish my Camp/cottage journal........ Fail I think I am still a year behind

Make more mini albums, even if they don't have a purpose...i love those..... Yeah...I really surpassed this goal. 

Other Crafts:

Make my Christmas quilt that I bought for this year...Oops totally forgot about this one. 

Sew my purses that I bought patterns for..... I think I did this one, can't remember which pattern it was, lol.

Continue to enjoy my paper crafts..... Well this was a no brainer, teehee.

Make the projects that I wanted to make last year...... I did this :)

Tweak my blog and YouTube channel...... Still to scared to touch anything on here in fear of erasing my blog ;)

Life Goals:

Get more active, I need this for my health, not an option.... Embarrassed to say, I didn't do to good in this area.

Loose 10 lbs these.... Did I say loose, oops

I would love to end the soda but not doable...so cut down........this one was a big fail as well. 

Eat more healthy...Can't say that I succeeded in this area either :( 

Be creative everyday. This does not mean making a project everyday, but being creative in one way or the other....I did this one :)

Put myself first. This is going to be the hardest of all. I put my family and friends first....Yup failed yet again.

Now I feel like a failure, lol.
For this year I want to work on the goals I had last year.
But my big thing is to stop my Procrastination.
I am so bad for this. I have always said that I am the best procrastinator. If there was a prize for this, I would win it hands down.
But this year I am really going to work on "Just do it", and do it now.

Had my SIL, Sharon, her hubby Jim, and Kristy's boyfriend Blake over for dinner and enjoyed some laughs.
When the clock stuck midnight, I opened the front and back door of our home to let the old year out and to welcome the new year in.
So here is to 2012!
Looking forward to the great experiences, and new friends that this New Year will bring to my life.

Hope your New year is one full of Happiness.

Tracy
