Halloween!

I know I haven't updated in FOREVER, however, I have been doing some crafting here and there. I just haven't been updating because we have no internet at home and I've been uber busy. Anyone who thinks the life of a teacher is easy needs to think again!!! Heehee!!! :) Hope you are all doing well, I've been creepin' on blogs here and there, so it's not that I've disappeared!

Sweet 16

This is a card I made for my cousin to give to one of her friends. I have a CRICUT!!! Woot woot!! I used the Hello Kitty catridge for this card. She loved it and I must say, I thought it was really cute too! I have a load of new scrap goodies (a whole room full) and I can't wait to start doing some more crafty things...but summer seems to get in the way..ooohhh welllll. Hope you're all having a fantastic summer! :)

Foster Puppy

Isn't he the sweetest. Such a sad story however. This puppy was found in the dumpster outside the school I teach at. Someone threw him in there, to die I assume. One of the teachers found him and brought him to me. I had him for nearly a week. Then one dinner time there was a knock at my door. Someone came to "claim" the puppy, after a week (there is only 1000 people in this community--so EVERYONE knew I had the puppy). They called me some terrible names and were about to get possibly violent, so I had to hand the puppy over to him. I miss him so much.

Cannot wait to get back to my hometown when my teaching is over in 11 days!! I need my scrapping goodies!!

YMBD Gives Back Crop!

Taken from the Your Memories By Design forum:

Welcome everyone to our "YMBD Gives Back" National Scrapbooking Day Online Crop! We are so glad you joined us and are thrilled that you are going to help us "Give Back"! Official crop kickoff is 7pm EST tonight (Friday May 1st) and runs all weekend long! Deadline for all crop submissions is Midnight EST on Tuesday, May 5th.

So how is YMBD "Giving Back" you ask? Well.... The last time we "gave back" we colaborated as a group to make "Cards for Heros", which is a US based organization supporting US Military Troups. During that time, there were several requests wanting to support a Canadian cause next, and I promised we would!



So here's the story... This May marks the 6th year of the anniversary that we lost my Dad to cancer. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on April 1st, 2003 and passed away only 5 weeks later (3 days shy of his 57th birthday). The sad part is, I really don't think I know anyone who's life has not been touched by cancer in some way or another. And we all need to work together to help find a cure. And YMBD is going to do that by donating proceeds from this weekend's crop to the Canadian Cancer Society. It really doesn't matter in the long run, which cancer society gets our funds, because any breakthroughs anywhere will benefit everyone around the world! And I know together we can all make a difference!
