I am LUCKY!

I totally stole this from Stacy Julian's blog, but why mess with genius. And that woman is, a genius.

My lucky number is 7, so here are 7 things that I am lucky to have in my life:

1) I am lucky to have a husband that works hard so we can run our own business, which enables me to stay home and play most days. I am incredibly lucky to not have to get up each morning and go work a job I don't particularly like.

2) I am lucky to have a wonderful family. And even though we live far apart and spread out, there is great support and love every day to help me get through this journey of life.

3) I am lucky to have so many scrapbooking friends far & wide that share this crazy hobby with me. I love reconnecting with them every so often and following their every day antics via Facebook, Blogs and e-mail. I love you guys and miss you every day...

4) I am lucky to have a precociousus 4 year old who woke up this morning saying "Mommy, I have to show you something" and came to my bed with a handful of sparkly shamrocks that had been scattered all over the house and her bedroom last night. She didn't even notice the green milk. LOL

5) I am lucky to have hobbies that I love, including scrapbooking, cooking, watching movies & playing volleyball. It is wonderful to have outlets for my energy every day and to learn new things all the time. Recently we've been experimenting with vegetarian cooking and I am amazed at how much info is out there that I did not know about.

6) I am lucky to have awesome friends who throw amazing parties that we are invited to, so I don't have to...

7) I am lucky to have the cutest little almost 5 year-old for a daughter. She brings me joy every day and I am so grateful to have her in my life.

Guess I'm still Lucky...

today I won the bingo on our Creative Escape Yahoo Group. I thought for sure between being away at ARTistry in Vancouver (sorry I'd post about this but didn't really take any photos), coming home to no Internet and the time difference between the post (East to West Coast) I didn't stand a chance. Well, my horseshoe comes through again.

Over the weekend I won three free coffee's at Tim Horton's in their Roll up the Rim to Win contest. Not much, but still lucky. Last week we found out that we won three out of four volleyball champion titles. Not bad...I wonder what's next???

Today I spent most of the day re-arranging my furniture in the bedroom and guestroom. My mom suggested to move the bigger dresser from the guestroom upstairs since it was sitting there empty. Then I took Gracie's changing table (which converts into a shelve) downstairs for some guest storage if needed. Now I still need to finish putting our stuff away in the bedroom, but I had to quit. The original plan was to spend an hour doing this and after three I finally threw in the towel and stopped. I'm pooped.

So I thought I would do a quick update on my BLOG and then start working on my CE swap pages. (For all you non-scrappers who read my blog, a swap is when a group of people make a certain number of the same layout/embellishment/etc. and then each person swaps out with every other person. So in the end you end up with one of every item including your own. Quite genius really!) Hope I didn't confuse you too much...
