Just another Tuesday... Life is Good!

I made these 4 Tree top cards tonight , the stamp set and some scrap paper are from CTMH, trying to use up my scrap paper. Simple but cute. :)

Just another Tuesday, but a fun one...

My morning with the kids started out really nicely. Riley was a sleepy head today and soon after he woke up he went back to bed. Chloe listened to her fave songs on her MP3 player sitting on her bed as a teenager. Gosh, these kids grow up so fast, you blink and another year passed by it seems. Chloe was excited to have Jenna and her sister over for a play date. Claire had her friend invite her last minute so she did not come. Chloe and Jenna played awesome together: they painted, we went for a walk and to the park, and after a great lunch they had some ice cream.

Tomorrow we are going to the splash park again with our good friends kids Viki and Stephania and meeting some other moms too. Should be another fun day.

On the weekend I was speaking with my parents and sister and they were busy making the fence for the house. My Aunts were arriving to visit them on Saturday for a week. It would be so nice to be there and enjoy everyone's company. Hope they all have a great time as the celebrations for the Carnival on the 2o th of August is coming up. It is like Canada Day. Celebrating our country. My sister works at the Thermal Furdo in Debrecen so she is going to take my aunts there for treatments and to just enjoy the water. Ahhh, I remember 2 years ago when we were there how nice I felt after being pampered every day for 2 weeks in the mornings. Thanks Sister! :)

My 'homework' for Carol

I needed to create a layout or a card for Carol using our New October Stamp Of The Month Holiday Warmth Stamp Set and I went with a layout. This is the end result. Hope you like it.

The following CTMH products were used:

Holiday Warmth Stamp of The Month ( October )
Animal Cookies Paper
Clover Meadow Inkpad
Tulip Inkpad
Liquid galss ( on the ribbon of the presents and tree )
Foam Die-Cuts Numbers
Safety pin from the Autumn Garden collection ( Olive )

Some Christmas cards I made

I have been working on these cards for a lady whose group is going to do the cards with me. Hope they will like them. I am waiting for the Ms Holiday Cheer new stamp set from CTMH so I can make some cards for them with that stamp set too.

I am so excited since a friend of mine offered to take a box of my cards to a trade show and sell them there! I can not wait to see what the response will be!

Succesfull Garage Sale

It was a succesfull day for our neighbourhood garage sale. I got rid of a few big items and some small. AS we were packing up a lady stopped by and she purchased all my kids clothes!!!! 4 HUGE boxes. I got rid of it for cheap, but at least I did not have to bring it back to my house. She even went over to my neighbours and bought all her kids clothes up too. Apparently she was sending them over to Japan to a church. ( well I hope, because we gave her a really great deal! )

Chloe was very excited Friday as we told her she could have a Lemonade stand. She was not such a great sales girl though, but luckily one of the little girls on the street helped her out. Chloe made $19.50 selling fresh, home made lemonade. She wants to use the money to buy the Hannah Montana Movie. :)

Chloe had a little friend Madison come over to play after the garage sale. The girls played perfectly, they were soo good. All of a sudden I heared music blasting from Chloe's room. The girls were playing BRATZ and listening to FYC, lol. It was too cute.

Finally I had time to upload some artwork

I am exhausted and dissapointed... I promised my parents that I would make them a scrapbooking album since they were here for 2 weeks to visit. There is no way I can complete it. I was supposed to send it home with my sister's sister-in-law next week, but it will not happen. Too many pictures, too many pages. I told my parents they will get it for Christmas. They were ok with that.

Here is some layouts and cards are made a while ago. Finally I got a chnace to upload them.

My parents' are here to visit us!

I am soo excited since I have my parents here for a short visit from Hungary! I have been so busy with preparations since we are heading out to a cottage to spend the rest of their stay there. Hopefully the weather will be warm enough to enjoy the water. It is so peaceful and beautiful at this Four Mile Lake Cottage. I really can not wait to be there. My MIL bought another kayak so Chloe can go on it with her, that would be interesting... haha and she is trying to convince me to go on it with her, well good luck. :) Chloe is signed up for swimming lessons for the 2 weeks while we are there. I cannot wait just to sit around enjoy the water the peace and quite if that is possible with 2 kids, my parents and and my in laws there. :) I am looking forward to campfires and roasting marshmallows.I packed a few thing already, like our beach towels and swim wear, some food...ohh this does not sound such a good progress...I need to get on it tomorrow! Today my mom and I made cabbage rolls. I am a vegetarian but the rest of the family isn't. We'll take some with us to the cottage for my in-laws too, and I froze some for our use. AND Mari Mama ( my mom ) made home made doughnuts today! It was a hit with Chloe. She loved it with powdered sugar on it just like daddy ( I call it Canadian style ) and we ate it with organic apricot jam on it.
My parents absolutely adore the kids, they get worn out. It is so nice to have them here but I am sure the goodbyes will be hard and emotional. Chloe went from being shy (on the first day of meeting her grandparents ) and not talking even in English, to trying to express herself in Hungarian more and more....I really need to make an effort to speak to her more in Hungarian.

Ohhh.... it has been a few long day, but fun. Hubby is back from fiddling with his jetskiis, the kids are asleep, knock on wood, off I go to spend time with my better half. :)

PS:

I can not wait to get some pics printed of our cottage vacation, I am going to make an album for my parents...of course I am going to use Back Country ....an amazing paper design by Close To My Heart.

I have been so busy here that I have not done much scrapbooking lately. I am hoping I can post some layouts soon after our vacay is over.

Finally, I am back!

This is the card that Chloe made last night with me. Who sasy kids can not have fun scrabooking and cardmaking!? We really had a good time..

My little cool dude. Yep, I got him a pair of sun glasses since he does not like his hats muh... When I put the glasses on his head he just kept making this sniffing sound. It was too funny, I guess he did not know what was going on, he saw the world in a different colour. :)

This is a card I made last night with my new CTMH stamp set. It is called TREE TOPS. I love the they are so cute. Hope you guys like this card...

It has been so long since I have posted here. I did a few layouts but I still need journaling done, and with two kids on the go I have not much time... :( Also, since the good weather is here we have been spending most of our weekends at my MIL's farm. We are planteg a vegetable garden and this year it is quite big. Potaoes, rasberry bushes, onions, leeks, radieshes, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, spinach, beans and peas....whew that is it I think. So I am keeping really bsy there since I love our organi vegetables! Nothing better than fresh picked vegetable and fruits from the garden.

Chloe was really excited, about 2 weeks ago grandma put her hair into curlers...She was really looking forward to getting her hair done. Here is a picture of her hair all curly.

The potatoes are looking good.

Spinach and peas, Yum! :)

We took a little break and went for and ice cream with Grandma to Bobcaygon about 20 minutes from where they live. We had such a wonderfull time. We stopped at a park by the beach to have of course some fries and took some pictures too. I can not wait to scrapbook those pictures.

Riley is all smiles, he is my happy boy. :)
