friendship

is starting to bloom

i caught these two hanging out a few days ago. and managed to snap a picture before they knew i saw them. they have their moments where they are each annoying and causing a problem. but it warms my heart when i see stuff like this happening.

and this was just today.

their mother must be in an excellent mood because they both got some candy. for no reason other than they wanted it. i happened to glance at them, and they were sitting beside each other discussing the candy. (i'm sure there were words about their amazing and generous mother as well)

we won't mention that Kiara should have been having a nap. Aidan should be having a quiet time. some days it just doesn't work out that way.

i got my list of supplies and required photos for the girls night out scrapbooking event i'm attending. this is a huge stretch for me. i am going "by myself". i signed up not knowing anything more than the cost and the number of projects we're doing. we have gotten hints lately, but it is still anyones' guess what we are making. it is less than 2 weeks away. i am quite sure it will be good and i'll know i'll be glad i went. breathing deeply.

and the election is over. this is an interesting riding. another close finish. i think there were less than 50 votes between the PC candidate who won and the LIB candidate. wow. and it turns out that there were more posted signs for the PC than i had seen. not that it makes a difference...

well the sun is shining. it is starting to feel like summer. i viewed a page yesterday at SIS where the title was "Spring has arrived...it's a quarter to summer." i like that viewpoint. and i wish i had that layout on my wall reminding me of the fact....i think i need to sit next to Jan when i scrapbook. perhaps some of her talent will float over to me.....i'm sure that is how it works. there is so much talent at that store. Sheri is teaching a card class tomorrow night. check them out on her blog or here. there may be space left. hurry!

i got distracted thinking about summer coming. maybe we will head outside and enjoy the sunshine today. get vitamin d the old fashioned way. and better take the camera!

provincial election day

in Alberta.

this one will be interesting i think. will the PC stay in power, or will the LIB become the leaders. personally i doubt the NDP or Alliance have strong enough platform or candidates to gain enough seats. our LIB candidate came to our door yesterday. he also served the previous term. nothing to complain about there. but the PC candidate seems to be interesting. if the winner who sent out the greatest amount of advertising and who put up the greatest number of signs takes it, then the LIB will stay in this riding. hmmm....wonder what the results will be?!

so i managed to add months 3 and 4 to the baby albums in my projects blog.

it has been so long since i've put any layouts up....
Aidans are pages from 2005 to 2006.
Kiara's pages were done in 2007 (the ones posted so far).

it has been fun to compare their photos. i tend to scrapbook based on emotion of the events. so the design of the layout means something to me too. and i'm relieved to know that my style is not stuck. phew! that is the way i was feeling lately. i was starting to think that i did the same kind of thing over and over. it is crazy how many new techniques are out there now.


this layout i finished just last week. the photos are from when Aidan was around 18 months old.

i have a lot of new supplies to work with...just need to brave my cold basement and get my groove going.
