5 For Friday

1. Well, it's been a day of rest & relaxation-for some of us-around these parts. We were pummeled here in Newfoundland with a snowstorm that left some 70+ cm behind. Mother Nature really gave us a good taste of winter. But, Eugene loved it. We ventured out last night when the storm began & then again this morning for some shoe shoe action. 


*at the park last night...


*this morning's snow shoe adventure. 

2. I'm working on a little video tutorial for my upcoming 'Keeping up with Life' class at The Paperie. I've also got a few freebies that I've made which I'll be putting up on the blog for those of you who are looking for some Project Life pieces to print out.

3. I found a great article for anyone looking to be happier. And really who isn't looking to be happier?! I read The Happiness Project a few years ago and loved it. I also watched the documentry 'Happy' last weekend so when I noticed Ali retweet this article I knew that I had to read it. Take a few minutes and read it.

4. I saw a beautiful blog post today when trolling through my blogs. Design Darling is a blog I visit for style ideas. It inspired me to make flowers more of an everyday things around here. Don't you love the peonies?!

5.Are you enjoying all of the CHA reveals? I certainly am. But, honestly, I'm just excited that the dates for distribution for the pieces I like are are actually sooner than later.

Enjoy your weekend.

This & That...

I'm super excited about all the new product that's being prepared for CHA this month. I'm looking forward to Basic Grey's release and the new American Crafts line that Liz K is putting out. It looks super pretty. She has a sneak peek on her blog today.

I actually bought her first book '52 Scrapbooking Challenges'. I'm going to do one challenge a week for the year. The first one is a layout inspired by an outfit. I think i'm going to use some wedding pics. I need to get them developed. I'm just deciding on a new printing company. I'm thinking of trying an online company for a change. I've been disappointed with the results i've gotten from the last couple batches of pictures i've gotten from places like Costco and Walmart.

So here's the scrapbooking photo for today. It's a layout from my first online class. I took it last May/June and it was all about inspiration. This was the first layout for the course. I love the colour combo-one I NEVER use either-but the results were very appealing to me.

The journaling is a list of 25 things about me at 25. I turned 26 in May but the journaling was written right around the time of my birthday. Even now I can already see that some of the things on there have changed...
