Happy Dance
I seemed to have accomplished my first goal of moving from StampinUp’ ® Associate to a Stampin’ Up ® Senior Associate! Got to find me a “Happy Dance” icon….
I love Stampin’ Up®!
I’ve booked my 3rd Party in Thunder Bay (one each day that I’m there!!). I’m also working on a recruit or two!
Vision it, [...]
Crazy Catz!
A fellow cat lover sent me this, made me laugh out loud (laugh so that tears came), its a .wmv file. Sound on is good for the whole picture but not required, especially if you love cats:
Peek At Beautiful Spring
Yesterday we had the most beautiful spring day here in Toronto. It was 21C! Its short-lived as it will resume normal temperatures (& dips) in the next week or so – 6C) I haven’t seen a stitch of snow anywhere, Elina’s been playing down at Kew Park on Queen a few times, and most [...]
CP Free
Herman just called to say that today’s visit with the neurology specialist for Elina’s tippy-toe walking to rule out Cerebral Palsy – she clearly showed no signs indicated in the link here. Our doctor sent us to both specialists (orthopedic and neurology) so that we can catch potential problems before they become more serious, especially [...]
Busy Sundays

So this clothing thing, we’ve decided to pick clothes the night before, with enough negotiation and collaboration – with a 3 1/2 year old. But to save time, energy, tears, late subway, etc. this “plan” seems to be working these last few days so we’ll give it a try this week.
Look Alike?
I was just sorting through and arranging some files and photos of Elina and found this photo I took of the Martha Stewart Baby Book (2003 some time, it may have been the first issue – or the first issue I actually purchased when we found out we were going to adopt Elina).
The funny thing [...]
Fun Stuff (for me)
I put in my monthly order Stampin’ Up order and as hostess, along with the orders from neighbourhood friends and some colleagues, I ended up with some more cool stuff to create and use during my upcoming workshops:
Linen 6X6 Moss Brag Book
Simply Sent Card Kit – Remembering You
Round Tab Punch and Spiral Punch (from the [...]
Spring…
I would love to say that spring has arrived as it should but that would make another snowfall and delay in getting Betty (aka my Vespa LX 150CC) out and on the road. Spring arrived yesterday at 4:00 PM (or something like that) and today we had a beautiful day of 12 or 14C and [...]
