Cake....

Good morning Internet,

This weekend was a busy one....Cake...Cookies....Cake...Cookies...with a smattering of Mickey Mouse in there...

Cake
My daugher was asked to bake a cake for a Girl Guide event so we started the process on Thursday night with baking the cake.  Then Friday the fun started.  Yetikid started the decorating with the last bit of cake was put in the oven to bake.  We had lots of fun hanging out with both Izzy and Yetikid.  Our efforts were well received. I was sooo very proud of her.  There were things that we will have to change for the next time she does a cake like this but all in all it was awesome.  You can see for yourself the pictures below.

Cookies
We sold cookies at Canadian Tire with our Pathfinder group this weekend.  It was crazy cold and snowy.  We were all in winter parkas and long johns cause it was so cold were we were.  We are outside in front of the building and there is no sun only shade so it feels about 10 degrees colder then it acctually is outside.  But even with the cold we did not to bad we sold 31 cases which is just able 3/4s of our cookies we need to sell.

House Update
Our house that we are having built is moving along pretty well.  My husband and a few of our friends were there this weekend doing the low voltage wireing.  They managed to get it done in 2 days. According to my husband that is only step one of a 7 (I think) step process.  The rest of the house is ready for insulation so that should be going in soon.. Man do things ever feel like they are going crazy fast. 

Well all have a Great day
DON"T FORGET TO BE AWESOME

Today...

Today I am feeling restless......I am not sure why...thinking it is because I have not done anything creative for a couple of weeks.....I find that doing creative things center me...

So to you out there what centers you what calms you when things are crazy all around you?

DON'T FORGET TO BE AWESOME!!!!



Hello Everyone....

It's been a long time since I have been here and I know I say that almost every time I am here but this time will be different.  I want to make an effort to write at least once a week.  I figure if I make an effort and want to I should be able to do that.....

I have been sick the last couple of days.  Got a head cold from my granddaughter.  She is getting better I am getting worse but I know it will get better soon.

I have joined picture inspiration with Tracy Clark she is a great photographer and I think it will help me with my self esteem issues.  I would love to be able to be a photographer and in order to get there I need to be willing to put my work out there.  This week is all about you...I haven't taken my picture because of the red nose that I have been sporting for the last week but that will change soon....

Any way I will leave you with this......


Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.

Life....

Good morning Internet,

Hope all is well with everyone out there.  Today I decided I just wanted to ramble.  My daughter is turning 18 in about a week and holy moly does it ever make me feel like I am getting old.  I know I am not old at all but some days if feels like it.  Other times I wish I could go out to the bar with her.  I love to dance (not much for drinking a couple of bear through the night is all I need) but for me to go to the bar with her I would be cramping her style.  You know how kids are....LOL

My mom and I are going out to our cabin tomorrow morning for the night we need to pack some things up before the winter frezz comes in and recks everything.  The mess we would have to clean up if all our pop cans or beer bottles burst because they froze.  You see we don't have central heating in our cabin only a wood stove.  It works really well when we are their to stooke it but doesn't work very well if it is not getting any wood.

I have started my photography class.  I feel a little over my head and scared that I will not do as well as the people in my class. I am going to plug along with it becuse I need to face the fear....At least that is what I keep telling myself. 

Have a great weekend Internet
and
DON'T FORGET TO BE AWESOME 

Apples

Good afternoon internet,

First off I have to say I have an alergy to all cored and pitted fruits.  It really sucks because at one time I did not have this allergy and I really miss the taste of a fresh juicy apple just off the tree.  With that out of my system.  My husband and grand daughter humoured me in doing a Photo shoot in our back yard.  Below are my favorite pics out of the shoot.  Let me know what you think.

This one is a little dark.  But I think you get how very happy she is up in the Air.

Have a wonderful weekend internet.  I will have some parade pics for you sometime next week.

Coffee & Sunshine

Good afternoon Internet,

Well today is a day filled with coffee and NO sunshine. It is very smokey here as the winds have brought it over from BC. Hopefully all the rain we get this weekend (or are supposed to get) will bring it down a bit. 

I have been having a writers block for the last little while but I have decided that I will not worry about it when I write here it is for me so when I want to write I will.

Have a great weekend Internet

30 Day Journal challenge

Hello Internet...

Off to a great start on the challenge......Man 3 days in and I am already behind...I am hoping that the weekend will give me a few days to catch up and then be on the right track come Monday.  I am really liking the prompts they have been fun.  Drawing out my creativity which is why I joined in the first place.

I am not sure about showing anyone my pages yet thought as they will look like a 6 year old did them...But I guess that is the part of the purpose of this...to break out of my shell so once I am done I will just have to "pull the bandaid of quick" and put the pages up. 

I am going to Capital ex tonight with my Husdand, daughter and granddaughter.  My Husband doesn't really want to go but we are dragging him along anyway.  I think it will be a great time.

It was my birthday on Sunday.  I spent the day with my mom out at our cabin cleaning it up for this weekend.  It is typically a party weekend should be fun.  even if I am getting old...LOL

Goals for this week:

• Get journal pages finished
• Post pics of my journal pages
• Edit Mad and Morg's engagement pics 
• Get signed up for Photography class in the fall

That's it for now Internet have a great week I will talk to you later this week.

Don't Forget To Be AWESOME!!!
