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 :)

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.

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!

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 :)

Words for Women to Live By


1. Aspire to be Barbie - the bitch has everything.

2. If the shoe fits - buy them in every color.

3. Take life with a pinch of salt... A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.

4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!

5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).

6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.

7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.

8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.

9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

10. Don't get your knickers in a knot; it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.

11. When life gives you lemons - buy some Coronas.

12. Forget about the perfect man - he's living in the West End with his boyfriend.

13. Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are the hardest.

14. If it has Tires or Testicles it's gonna give you trouble.

15. By the time a women realizes her mother was right, she has a daughter who thinks she's wrong.

Good friends are like stars.........You don't always see them, but you know they are always there' 'Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live for today'... Now smile and send to any girl wasting time at work, suffering from a hangover, or just suffering from life, they might need a reason to smile!

I got a nasty virus on my pc :o( The stupid thing is blocking my virus programs so that I can't remove it. Now I can't even start up my pc. This is sooo annoying! Last month my hard drive breaks and I had to replace it and now I get a virus on my new har drive...grrr. I'm dropping off my hard drive tomorrow to have it repaired. Hopefully I will get it back early next week so I can start posting my new creations. I made a b-day card and a love bear layout. I hope everyone's new year is starting off better then mine.

THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!


One of my younger sisters sent me this. I laughed so hard when I read this. Check it out!

THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!
If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... barefoot... BOTH ways
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!

But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today.

You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my child hood, you live in a damn Utopia!

And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!

There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen!
Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take, like, a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!

Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! Nowhere was safe!

There were no MP3' s or Napsters! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished and the tape would come undone. Cause - that's how we rolled, dig?

We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!

And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either!
When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It coul d be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister !

We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen... forever!
And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were e screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel! NO REMOTES!!!

There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards!

And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we had to use the stove! Imagine that!

That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980 or before!

Regards,
The Over 30 Crowd

Temporary Back with My New & Very Messy Craft Room Pictures


It's been about a week and a half since moving into my new house and I'm luvin' it! I'm exhausted from all the packing, unpacking, cleaning and having workers coming in and out of the home almost every single day. I can't wait till everything is done so that I can relax and start crafting again. I think I should be able to start crafting in about 3 weeks...I hope! *crossing fingers & toes*.

Here are some before and after pix of my new and very messy craft room. I had just finished vacumning and cleaning the washroom, then within 1hr the movers filled up the room with most of my crafting boxes and yuky old furniture, which I plan on replacing soon. There are still alot of boxes in the closet and in the garage. I didn't know I had that much craft stuff until I saw most of it in the room. Hubby says I have to use it all up before I can buy anything new...lol. I will be unpacking my craft room last (saving the best for last).

I can't wait to get proper furniture and storage for everything. Still not sure if I should get white or dark brown furniture for the room. I'm planning on painting the room pink. I'm leaning more towards white furniture but I'm scared that I will make eveything dirty when I craft, especially my desk.

Before Pix:





After Pix:

Crafting Again!


I started crafting again! Oh how I've missed crafting. I haven't made anything for 2 months! It felt so good to create again. I made 3 stamped cards. I think for my next creation I may make a layout. I will post pix of my 3 cards soon. I need to recharge my digi cam batteries.

Foot Surgery


I had foot surgery today to remove a big ol cyst from my left foot that I've had for over a year. I had it drained awhile back but the darn thing came back the very same day and got even bigger. Surgery went well. My foot is all bandaged up and I have to stay off my feet for awhile. Right now there's no pain because I'm on pain killers but my foot is starting to itch. Next Wed I head back to the hospital to have the stitches removed. I can't wait till my foot is fully healed so that I can start going to the gym and be able to wear my heels again. My sweet hubby has been spoiling me today with take-out Thai dinner and yummy sweets. Wish he could stay home from work for the week to pamper me...heehee.

SOLD!!!



SOLD IN 6 DAYS!!! WOOOHOOO!!!

We listed out townhouse Fri afternoon and sold it on Thurs afternoon. We had only 3 showings and the house sold to a couple from the 3rd showing. We are so happy there won't be anymore showings and we didn't even have to have an open house. It was stressful having to keep the house spotless, no trace of a dog and always having to leave for showings. Our realtor said the couple had 2 comments about our home...they were amazed at how mint condition it was and how much it reminded them of their old home which they loved. This was the perfect couple to buy our home because they want to move in on Oct 15th and we move into our new detached home on Oct 8th. Hubby and I were worried we would have to move twice because the new home owners may have wanted to move in sooner before the closing of our new house but now we won't have to...woohoo!!! The night the house was sold was the night my hubby and I had a good sleep and we slept in :o) Our doggy, Maddi, is also happy now because she can have her toys all over the house again. No more packing it all up and leaving when there are showings :o)

Showings, Open House & More Showings...




Hopefully soon we will be saying goodbye to this townhouse. Been a super duper busy day. This morning we had our first agent open house. 6 agents came to check out our townhouse. There's also 3 showings today. It's only going to get more busy. I can't wait till this house sells. This is our first time preping and selling a home. I so do not like it...lol. It's so stressful! I can't wait till the house sells so that I can sleep in again...lol.
