Quickutz Ambassador Program



So I applied to be part of the Quickutz Ambassador program! You had to do a questionaire and submit a 2 page layout, so this is the one I submitted! I think it would be so fun to do something like that!! Wish Me Luck!! *fingers crossed*

So...The Garage Sale is going good so far I've made $200.00! Unfortunately, I don't get to spend it on Quickutz! lol However, I DO get to spend it taking my 3 year old son to see Thomas the Train in Squamish on the 6th of June (I'm already scrapbooking the pics in my head! I can use my Quickutz trains! yay! lol)

Is there a 12 step program for Quickutz addicts? I think maybe there should be! lol

I am seeing the signs of addiction everywhere...a messy house, a drained bank account, and still all I can think of is SCRAPBOOKING! hehe yup, I'm an addict! oh well, like I told my husband while trying to convince him to buy me the Flirt gift set, he said "115.00! That's as much as some of my tools!" then I said "yeah, these are MY tools" then he said "yeah, but mine at least make me money!" and I said "yes, but mine make me HAPPY, and who knows, maybe some day they'll make me money!" lol (btw, he bought me the set!!) some say I should've been a lawyer! lol

On another note, I'm sooo excited to take Ethan to Thomas, he's going to have soooo much fun! He asked me yesterday if he could wear his Thomas costume to Squamish! he's soo cute! This is a pic of him on Halloween night. My little Thomas!

a Love Affair with Quickutz...

I LOOOVE the new spring gift sets!!! I can't decide which one is my favourite! I think Flirt is though, it gives me an opportunity to scrap some girly stuff...which is few and far between when you have 2 boys! That perfume bottle is just tooo cute! aaahh! it's turning me into such a girl!! (as a major tomboy that's quite a feat! lol) My husband just bought me the new Flirt gift set tonight, and I just had to come home and try it out! So here it is...straight outta hairdressing school...or still in school I guess! Hey, at least it doesn't say "Beauty School Drop Out!" lol
You will all have to forgive me, as it's 1:30 am, and I'm a little sleeptarded and giddy!
Enjoy!

So, today I managed to work on my basement for 3 hours straight! I'm having a garage sale in just under 2 weeks, and I'm really trying to simplify my life, which means letting go of all these things that I have been holding onto for years...I have minor packrat tendencies, so I'm finding it a little difficult. What is making it a little bit easier is knowing that I will soon be moving to Big Lake, and my stuff will have to go into storage, so I am trying to look at these things and think "do I really want to pay to store that?" It's helping a bit...we'll see how things go...on Wednesday, my husband is taking Ethan to Big Lake to visit his parents, and leaving me home with Caleb so I can get all this stuff sorted out. Hopefully by Wednesday night it's all done...but I somehow think I might need a little more time than that! Thanks to Caleb, who slept for 3 hours in a row, I got a lot done today! YAY! I love it when you feel like you've gotten something accomplished in a day. With 2 small kids, sometimes I go all day, and I look around the house which I have been cleaning on and off all day, and it still doesn't look like I did anything! At least today I feel like I've put a dent in the pile!

I'm totally blown away by the concept of "candy" I've never heard of this before...why do people do it? do they have an endless supply of scrapbooking stuff? It's really quite nice, I'm not complaining at all, I'm just confused...I don't really know the point, other than to get more people to look at your blog...but I LOVE IT! hehehe

This was the other layout I did at that same crop. This one took me all of half an hour, and the other one took the other 5 and a half hours! lol
I love the simplicity in this page though...you just see the picture, and it's one of my favourite pics of me and my first baby boy!

Little Caleb


This is one of my Favourite layouts! I did this at the first crop I ever went to at Creative Accents (plug...plug...) I love the quickutz animals! I'm kind of a quickutz junkie! I would say that I'm sooo glad I discoverd quickutz...my husband on the other hand, may think differently! I'm sure he'd rather spend money on something else...like tools...well His tools! lol I'm only sad that I didn't buy the Exotic Island gift set last year...after using it in this layout, I wish I had it...oh well, c'est la vie! I'm very excited for the new gift sets this year! and I can't wait to use them!!
