Summer's coming to an end...


Omg where has the summer gone? hmm...I know, I and Cecil have worked most of it. There are so many regrets but hey...don't bother living your life with regrets. Just live for the present. So we've decided to take a trip to St.John's the first week of September just to end off the summer before the Kids...(I said Kids! My baby girl starts school this year) go back to school! We'll hit some parks, hopefully water parks for our little water dogs. And I'm thinking of a museum and of course Signal Hill for some photos. We told the kids today and they're excited. Well really...they're not. They're more excited to go to Thomas Amusements today. This should be interesting, Cecil's at work, i'm off to stuff a chicken and then take 3 kids to Thomas Amusements.

But our summer was still fun none the less. We had two weddings. My best Friend Nancy and our other good friend Candace got married two weeks apart. Here's our girl, to the left smiling pretty for the camera. She was the perfect little flower girl for Nancy's Wedding.


I went on a personal mini vacation this summer. I attended what we like to call HIH... A scrapbooking meeting with a bunch of beautiful and wonderful online lady friends who share the wonderful interest of scrapbooking with me. I went off on a 5 day all inclusive scrapbooking adventure to Rose and Lori's house! :) It was wonderful. 5 days filled with shopping, scrapbooking and most importantly great friends(and a pool..haha). Here we are...giddy after a lovely crop trip to Cutting Garden in Halifax.


And speaking of scrapbooking...on this wonderful trip I completed 36 layouts, 2 cards, and 2 altered items. It was such a productive weekend.

My latest scrapbooking adventure...the only one of August was a sketch in the Basic Grey newsletter. I tried out hand stitching in this one. Fun..but very time consuming. It would have been much faster on the sewing machine. Will have to try that next time! :)
