Sun Day on the Lake

Well the sun is out and it has warmed up a little. We had a big snow storm Valentine's Day and we got around 18 inches or more of snow; what a day. I did manage to get some scrap booking done but not as much as I wanted to do. I finally finished up my layout of generations last night, all I had left to do is put on the journaling and the last few flowers. I started a new layout for this week and I think tomorrow I will finish that up, at least I hope. I have allot to do next week plus house work as well. I still have my layout for the month to do before the 28th. My saying "if there is a will there is a way" it will all come together. I really wish I had a place to set all my things up so I would not spend so much time sitting up and taking down. Today we have to go to a birthday gather for a gentleman that Paul knows very well, so I have to give him a hair cut and than iron our clothes. I am going to give Teri a call and see if Chester can stay with her while we go. I have got to learn how to post some of my work on my site because I know my sister's would love to read my blog and look at my pictures. Well I must close my post for now and get hubby's hair cut, get that out of the way and get busy.

Keeping Up

Will I am not doing very well in keep up with my blog, already I am falling behind.
I have had a lot of things going on here at home, new water filter installed, so that created allot of extra laundry for me to have to redo with rust remover and some loads I had to do twice, but anyway I am finally seeing the end of that, I believe tomorrow will finish that up. I have not finished my scrapbook projects for this week yet but I am in hopes to work on them some tomorrow if not Wednesday. I have to go with Paul tomorrow afternoon to Auburn on business. I have to get my fish tank cleaned sometime this week, now that we have the new filter installed, that will be a great project out of the way believe me. Chester has been doing great, I have to get his ears cleaned in the morning before we leave to go with Paul because they stink awful. I don't know what it is about bassetthounds but there ears you could clean every 2 days, honestly. Today I received the new Quoddy Tides and there was a picture in there of my mother and step-father of when they got married 44 years ago, imagine it, isn't that awesome. 1962 was when they got married, it was a very nice write up of them and a nice picture. I am going to cut it out and scrap it. As I was reading the Tides I came across an older article's of Lubec that I remember as a young girl growing up and I want to keep that as well so I can scrap it. When I read these it makes me think of how Lubec use to be and how it is today. It was such a busy little town, very active and now it is kind of sol em. Lubec is a very beautiful place, especially in the summer time. I enjoy going home to visit in the summer because I like going to the ocean, just can not get enough of that ocean air. Well I have gone on enough about my readings of the Quoddy Tides for tonight I must go off to bed it's getting very late and Chester is out for his finally walk about the yard.

Canvas Complete

Well I finally finished my piece of canvas today for the Survivor Challenge at the Scrapbook Chalet,the voting will be Wednesday night. I am happy with the way my canvas came out. I started off by painting the canvas, than I stamped a large lighthouse scene on to white card stock and than I colored and chalked the picture than I adhered that to the canvas with Memory Mount, put ribbon all around the picture so it looks like it's all in cased than from there I did the finally touches with the sky and the seagulls and my message to Paul for Valentine's Day, which read (You are my light, Happy Valentine's Day)this was put on a tag, decorated with ribbon and attached down in the corner so it does not look over powering. I had to do 2 Valentine's cards as well too, so I did one for friend and one for sister and they came out quit well, I was please with them as well. I was happy to finish these projects up today as I have some other things that I have to get done here in the house. The weather has been very cold today so I have been busy keep the old fire going in the fireplace and I guess tomorrown is going to be pretty much the same. I am glad I don't have to go anywhere. This was my day (Monday)

Challenges

Will this week in the Scrapbook Survivor Challenge we have 2 cards to do and a canvas(wall decor) to do. Will the canvas is new to me. Oh, I did no say it has to be a theme of Valentine's but not neccessarily hearts and red and white and all that stuff. So I am doing my canvas in something with a bite of a lighthouse spin to it, I vision it all in my head I only hope it comes out the way I envision it. This is a good challenge for me as I am going to challenge myself to try for one of the slots on the Design Team for the Scrapbook Chalet. I will be doing a layout and also I will be doing my jewelry box for my altered item. This all has to be completed and to Laura by Febuary the 28th. These things that I have to do are part of the if you will the resume portion for the Design Team slot. My projects so far this week are coming along fine I am enjoying putting them together. Will I am off got things to do scraping to get done.
