Mom Day

I woke up to a wonderful day. I am so totally blessed with the family I have. I know how lucky I am. I slept in and woke up to fresh flowers, Tim Horton's coffee, fruit and freshly made breakfast! The kids showered me with handmade gifts from school and they bought me the MOST beautiful bouquet of green and pink flowers. We spent the day just hanging around the house (we painted some of our pool fence & did some gardening) and then took the kids out for supper in Madoc where we enjoyed fried chicken and wedge fries and ice cream. Then we headed to the Madoc skateboard park so the kids could ride their bikes for a while. Tonight it is Survivor and just chilling with a tasty drink in hand.

Motherhood is the best thing that I've ever experienced. It is a gift and today as my kids celebrated ME I couldn't stop thanking my lucky stars for all I have.

Chloe made me this gift at school. It is interesting, a surgical glove from the looks of it - with ribbon glued to it... perfect for gardening ;)

To my mother, thank you. You know how much I love you... how much I appreciate all you are and all that you do for me, Shaune and our children. You are my best friend and the person I always turn to when I need a shoulder or a laugh or just to talk. I am truly the luckiest daughter around. Thank you Mom. Thank you!

On-Line Favourites

  • Autumn Leaves/ Creativity Inc.
    I have been a part of the "Designing With" Autumn Leaves team for several years. We do idea books, teach classes, do on-line assignments for the website and create samples for the numerous tradeshows Creativity Inc is a part of each year. I love working for Autumn Leaves. If you haven't had a chance, check out the "Designing with" series of scrapbooking idea books. My personal fav is probably "Designing with Details" which came out last year.
  • Come check out Scrapbooks Etc's "PHOTOG BLOG"
    I co-host this photography blog with Erin Clarkson, fellow contributing editor at Better Homes and Garden's SBetc magazine. Come visit us as we talk all things photography, including lots of tips and tricks and even some challenges for you to participate in.
  • Heather Haynes Gallery
    a local artist that Shaune and I discovered on a trip to Gananoque the year before we were married.
  • Hero Arts Online: Learning Center
    Another great site: I am proud to work on their design team and love all their stamps!
  • Hanna Andersson

  • Two Peas in a Bucket -- Scrapbooking
    I love this site, it is where I found all my inspiration when I first started scrapbooking. I was on the Creating Garden (Design) team for this fabulous site for MANY years (4-5 i think) and had to step away this year to focus on other things. It is the best on-line site for s/b inspiration, in my opinion. Go check it out.
