Ok so in a perfect world I would update this thing every day, but since I am busy trying to send my husband off on a week long fishing trip to Alaska and prepping myself for my trip to Phoenix...no such luck!
I am lucky to read my friends blog updates every couple of weeks. I am also in the process of completing a page in my Ski Trips Album, it's an 8x8 KI Memories and I'm really excited to play with their papers and ice candy that I bought a long time ago.
So on the 6th of September I will be heading south to enjoy the wonderful sounding Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort. I have a massage & pedicure booked, will be taking a desert tour on a Hummer and delighting in the talented instructions of many wonderful scrapbook celebrities such as Heidi Swapp herself, Pam Black, Eva Flake and Stacey Julian, just to name a few.
I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Ok here's another cheating post...but at least I am updating this sucker, even while I am soooo busy it's not even funny. My computer has been acting up and I don't even know what to do anymore. I have sooo many e-mails to catch up on and meanwhile I am also trying to fix this stupid machine...ARGH!!!

Saw this on another lady's blog. Thanks for letting me borrow the idea!

Today was a WONDERFUL day. I woke up without an inkling of what was to happen to me today. It was an ordinary day where my daughter woke up a little too early for my tastes, my husband actually cleaned up his pile of clothes on the floor infront of our bed (Yeah!), and the weather was looking up to be a hot one today.
So I got some breakfast for Grace, threw together some laundry, checked my e-mail and couldn't believe my eyes...

Right there in my new inbox was a mail from someone called Rene telling me that I was the lucky winner of a pass to attend a pre-concert party with Faith & Tim on Wednesday. I have 5th row tickets that cost me dearly and thought that that would be the best I could do to see my "Faith". Well, what do you know...the Gods were with me today. So I get to go to a Private concert and take as many photos of them as I can and talk to them and.... Man I am sooooo stoked.

And on Thursday night I get to go again with Martin to see Faith & Tim, and then we are spending the weekend in Seattle without any kids. Yeah!
