Crafty challenge

Two Scrapbook Friends forum has challenged us to use a negative. I whipped this up tonight using both a  negative border punch and  a strip of the Tim Holtz negative ribbon. Then I placed a jillibean Polaroid with the die cut word negative over my photo. I kind of like how it turned out...

June already?

Well, another dance season has come and gone. The production of Mary Poppins was a hit and classes are done as well for the year. It's nice to have our evenings back, but watching Emma dance around the house, I know we'll be back in the fall...

And hamming it up during rehearsals....

Oh..it's a jolly holiday...

And finally, the teacher than you cards with dark chocolate m&m's in SRM tubes from Two Scrapbook Friends...

See you soon for another post...

The Dancing Girl..

Well, back from Terpsichore Dance Celebration... The kids did fantastic up against some fierce competition. Smiles all around and some pretty tired girlies...here's a collage from the day :)

Austin went to  Beethovan pillow concert with his dad this morning so I'll get the details on that in the morning when he gets home from his sleepover @ grandmas.

TGIF

Okay , so my boy is all packed and ready to go to Grandma and Grandpa's for a sleepover. One day at Emma's dance competion was enough for him...He is a trooper . Have fun @ grandmas little buddy.

Emma's extended jazz line won a diamond award and first place, so they dance in the diamond dance off on Sunday evening. We have the day off today and she has three more numbers saturday, so we'll see you soon...Here she is entering medieval faire @ canada's wonderland and posing by the fountain outside the theatre.

 It was interesting seeing the huge theme park deserted except for the off season work being done on the HUGE new roller coaster (150 km/hr) LEVIATHAN...won't catch me on that...I'll try and get a picture of the car running it's test runs but it will be pretty blurry with the average camera...

CanDance and a garage sale...

Okay , so I am packing for another dance competition and packaging stuff up for a garage sale at a local scrap store this weekend. 
I am swimming in supplies from the old school days and have heavily sorted stuff that my little protege will get to use, however there is still a mountain of stuff that I am willing to part with in order to buy new stuff. 
My hubby is just happy that I am downsizing , and cleaning up a bit, so don't tell him that my sales are for store credit (for new stuff) LOL

Emma and her peeps are dancing at Canada's wonderland this weekend and changing in trailers behind the theatre because it is too small to accomodate all the dancers, so she is picturing warner brothers back lot with the 'stars' trailers and I am bracing for tractor trailers with dirty floors and ramps with three white costumes and pink and tan tights ACKKKKK! I will let you know :)

Here is the group that is performing tonight...

what is it ...Break a leg?

New Sketch Blog..

Okay, so while I'm mourning the loss of Sketchy Thursdays, my scrappy friend Darcy has pointed me in the direction of a new sketch blog...check it out and they have a giveaway going on until Feb 29th...

Mon Jan 2nd

well, day two and what a blizzard overnight. I wasnt too impressed driving to work in that this morning...the kids had a fun breakfast with daddy and Miss emma went to grandma Heinbuch's to help take down christmas decorations and a sleepover and Austin is watching movies in his sister's bedroom tonight...missing her...Maybe I'll get some crafting time later tonight ,got a christmas layout in mind.

WOW, what a busy week..

So, babysitter is in Wasaga with her family for two weeks, so I booked some camps for Emma and some juggling grandparents and sitters for Austin. There was an extremely busy week at Bell and GGH for John & I and Emma was enjoying her first soccer camp...and Austin got a day out with Thomas the tank Engine...

One more week of work and we're off to Lake Temiskaming for two whole weeks , can't wait!

Strawberry Blueberry Surprise

We got a little creative with the antique dessert cups that I got from my grandma (gigi) and the kids had fun getting the pointed strawberries out of the cone shaped cups...

Sad face, mommy didn't have any 'whoop' cream..Hammin it up...

I love summer berries!
