Heritage

I have tonnes of pages to show you guys but no inclination to blog. Summer does that to me!
I recently got my hands on so me old snapshots of my grandparents. I've been having great fun scanning, cleaning and sharing them. They are circa 1935 up at the family cottage on the Severn river. (My heart aches for the Severn, haven't seen it in almost twenty years).

All About Me Birthday Bash Blog Hop

Wow, that's about the world's longest blog title!
Anyway, the blog is celebrating it's first birthday with a great crop and some fabulous goodies. The theme is about Birthdays of course.
I've been racking my brain to figure out my favourite birthday memory and well...it's so hard to pick.
One of my favourite memories was when I turned 18. I was really sick with mononucleosis and hadn't been to school for a few months. Needless to say I was pretty down in the dumps. My birthday was on a Wednesday and my parents were taking me out to dinner, after a day of sleeping to store up enough energy to go out. Just me and my parents, as my brother was away at University two hours away. My boyfriend came over and we had gifts with my parents. My parents looked all silly and said my big present was in the garage. I opened the door and there was brother! I was totally surprised! We had such a fun night. Don't laugh too hard at the picture, it was the 90's after all. Here's my phrase. Collect all the words to be eligible for a cool prize on the blog. All the current DT members have them on their blog. If you started here go back to the All About Me Blog to start your hunt! Your next stop on the blog hop is Diana's Blog. Have fun!!

Hello! Remember me?

Can you tell it's summer? We've been having oodles of fun here. Niagara Falls was awesome, Nana and Poppa's pool rocks and the Toronto Island beckoned. So all that means not much blogging...especially when coupled with a computer meltdown. All is well now so here's a few pages I've been making:
The first is my Sneak Peek from the Scrapping Turtle. This month I received Bo Bunny's Peacock Lane line. It's a very fun, whimsical line. The picture is from our Niagara Falls trip.
The second is layout I did with a picture of an old building on Queen Street West. Pretty much all made from American Craft's Dear Lizzy line.
And last but not least is the latest Challenge from All About Me. This challenge was to do a layout about a favourite birthday memory. I chose getting ready for Sid's party this year as I really enjoyed giving her a special party at home. The DT has been generously sponsored by SRM stickers this month and the site has tonnes of fun going to celebrate it's first birthday.

I've had a couple of awesome opportunities fall in my lap recently but they are still hush-hush, so I can't spill the beans just yet! I hope I can soon.
Thanks for popping by!
