Happy First Day of School!


Happy first day back to school!!! (Well it is here...) My baby is in Grade 1! And my eldest is in Grade 4 with my middle one in Grade 2. I have NO idea how or when that happened! But my kids sure were excited to get to school today! They wouldn't even hardly sit still long enough for me to take a picture! For a scrapbooker like me that's really difficult to accept! But I made it through so I think I will be okay. ;) I wish you guys all the best, both students and parents alike, this school year.

I am excited because this school year is a brand new start for us as a family. My hubby, who has been off work due to health problems, is going to school himself for 6 weeks! At the end of which he will have a Class 1 driver's license with air brakes, and 14 safety tickets which will allow him to get a job in the Oil & Gas or Construction industries. For the first time in over 10 years my hubby will have a job!  He. Is. THRILLED!!!!!!! I am so happy for him! So our family dynamic is about to change drastically! My oldest is only 8 so he only knows daddy to be at home all day, except when he was in the military. But Joey was only 1 year old at the time so he doesn't remember much. This also means that for the first time in over 13 years, I will be home. Alone. All day. By myself.

Whatever shall I do?!? Any suggestions? Leave a comment below!

I'm Finally Back!!! Well...almost.

Oh my goodness!!!! It is SO good to be 'back'! The past 6 weeks have been Hell!!! Ironically, the day of my last post, I got a prescription for an antibiotic to cure an infection I had in my right pointer finger. I have eczema and it is very sensitive to weather. During our hottest and driest week, my eczema became painfully dry and cracked which let in normal bacteria that is found on our hands. Unfortunately, I also have asthma and severe seasonal allergies. (Seasonal allergies were the worst this summer too!) So on top of all the 'fighting' my poor body was doing, the infection was too much and it overran my system. To make a long, and extremely painful, story short the infection overtook both my hands rendering them useless for the past 6 weeks. I am on my 6th or 7th course of antibiotics. After being in and out of the ER on IV antibiotics for a week and a half, and the infection only getting worse, the doctor finally admitted me to the hospital for 4 days last week

Bookm-ARGH! Card

Image
Good Monday morning, everyone! How is everybody today? I hope your weekend was fun. :) Mine was awesome. Got a LOT of cleaning done and then even more crafting done. Minus the fact that my chest infection keeps me from breathing....I had a good weekend. However, I am as clumsy as I could possibly be. I don't know what it has been this past week but I cannot seem to control my hands. They have been fumbling everything! Point in question? My first ever bookmark card. I thought I would try out another different style of card and I have always wanted to do a bookmark card. This one turned out BEAUTIFULLY...until I dropped my ink pad on it. >.> I was not impressed. Hence 'Bookm-ARGH' card. :) *tee hee* I've really been getting into stamping lately. I am waiting for my first set of stamping inks from Close to my Heart to arrive, (along with the Artiste cartridge EEEEE!). The stamps I used for this card are from Close to my Heart. The main sentiment is from the "P
