HAPPY FAMILY DAY!

Was so nice to enjoy an extended long weekend, with today being Family Day. Another benefit will be a very short work week as well!  :-D

Today I spent lots of time with Bill, running some errands. We priced a new fridge for the kitchen, picked up a few things at Michael's, picked up some groceries and had Bill pose for me for an online photography class I am taking! This week was about posing men & women. Still need some practice but the concepts make sense and will hopefully find a permanent home n my brain!

I also got my February sketch, for Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine's Sketchy Challenge, done, but forgot to post it last week! Ironically the pictures were from last year just after Taylor got his learners permit for driving...he got his "real" licence on Thursday of last week...we haven't seen him since! He is loving the freedom it has given him! I miss him!

I also worked on this layout this weekend! I went to a Valentine's Day Crop at Treasured Memories with some friends and got it started between the many laughs, shopping and some snacks!


February is shaping up to be a busy but fun month! One month away from the beginning of Spring, the days are longer...I think I can survive another Alberta winter!

One month of 2013 is behind us and three full months of winter as well! Hello February! Please be nice! So far, 16 hours into the month and I have no complaints! Had a wonderful massage this morning, house is clean, coffee with some great friends and the temperatures are warming!

I started 2013 with the intent of taking a picture daily and that just hasn't happened! Cold winter days just do not inspire me and one can only take so many pictures of the lovely, Bella! Taylor wants nothing to do with a camera in his face...so I'll just have to wait for a subject to appear! Hoping soon though as I am taking an online photography course on posing! may have to call Bill into the trenches to be my model!

Today is also Friday which means it is Friends With Flair day over at Unity Stamps! I missed a few weeks but put together a card last night to join in on the weekly challenge!
