THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN - PART 1

♥ OMG!!! I can't wait!!! ♥
*screams*

Moving to Texas in One Week!!!

I'm moving to Houston, Texas, in one week!!! OMG...sooo exciting!!! It's been crazy busy here and I'm just getting over a nasty cold :( Movers are coming next week to pack up all our stuff. Our new home is still being built so we will be living in temporary housing that my hubby's work has provided for us. Our new home will be completed mid Aug so we will be living in temporary housing for about 4 weeks. The place looks fab! It has 2 resort style swimming pools, a 2 story gym and more.

I can't bring all my crafting goodies with me so I'm really going to miss crafting :( I haven't created anything in months and won't be able to until after I move into our new home and get settled so I will be MIA on Blogger for 2-3 months :( I will bring my Copic markers and some stamped images with me to the temporary housing so that I can still do a bit of crafting. It will be mostly x'mas images because by the time I can craft again it will be time to make x'mas cards for family and friends.

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the summer heat. I will still be dropping by all your fab blogs as I love seeing all your beautiful creations. Take care and I'll be back on Blogger soon :)

Our home SOLD in 14 days! I'm sooo happy! Now hubby and I have to head back to Houston, Texas, to purchase a home, pack up and move :) Sooo exciting!!!

Back from Houston

I'm back from Houston, Texas! This was my first trip there and I had a fab time. It was hot and humid which hubby and I liked. I'm looking forward to checking out the weather in July and Aug as I hear it's brutal. We checked out several homes and I ended up falling in love with the very first home we saw. The home has a media room and a game room! I would turn the media room into my craft room :) It's not as big as my current craft room but it's a good size. Plenty of room in the backyard for us to put in a pool :) I can't wait to go back as we will be purchasing a new home during our next trip. We were able to get in some shopping and dinner with friends. It was a very nice trip but I wish I could have brought home some of the heat as it's raining here :(

Here are some pix I wanted to share of my lil fur baby, Maddi, at boarding while we were in Houston. I love the second pic of her running after the bigger dogs...too cute! She looks so happy. Thx Lorie for taking such good care of our girl.

Happy 25th Birthday Robert Pattinson!!!

Magnolia Tilda with Her Puppy Easel Card & Pix of Maddi

Hubby and I recently went to Puerto Vallarta but unfortunately we could not bring our lil fur baby, Maddi, with us so we left her at boarding for the very first time. We were nervous about leaving our girl as we have never done it before but Lorie from Somethin' to Bark About took such fab care of our baby that we had nothing to worry about while we were gone. She updated us daily with emails and photos of our lil girl while we were away. Maddi had so much fun playing with Lorie's dog, Jakki, and all the other dogs that were staying there. I made this thank you for card Lorie and Jakki. These two Magnolia images are perfect for her. I hope she likes the card. Thank you Lorie! You rock! Here are some pix of Maddi at Lorie's home hanging out with Jakki and the other dogs...

Maddi's New Bed

A recent pic of my lil fur baby relaxing on her new bed and matching blanket. This set also came with a pink plush lil doggy doll which Maddi loves way too much. She brings it with her everywhere she goes and sleeps with it every night. Doesn't she look adorable? My hubby spoils her rotten. He came home with two of these plush beds, matching blankets and doggy dolls. Maddi now has 5 beds all over the house. What a princess!

I'm Back!

First day back from Puerta Vallarta. I'm sunburnt, peeling and have 7 misquito bites but I had a FAB time in Mexico! Will post pix soon. I missed my fur baby like crazy. Off to pick her up :)

Moving to the US!!!

I have some big news! I'm moving to the US!! Hubby recently got a promotion. I'm sooo proud of my man :) Bye bye Toronto, Ontario...Hellooo Houston, Texas!! No more cold long winters! Lots of fab shopping! I can't wait to check out all the craft shops. There are also some yummy restaurants hubby and I are looking forward to trying. I'm gonna miss our home. Hubby and I watched it get built and have lived in it for just over a year. No more big craft room. Hopefully our new home in Houston will have a big craft room *crossing fingers & toes*. Our current home is also in a nice neighborhood and we have great neighbors. We do get to go house hunting which will be fun :) I would love to have a pool :) Big move, big changes...I'm looking forward to what the future has in store for us :)
