Last week we decided to go to a place where we took the kids when they were younger. It's a little picnic area in Kirkfield where you can fish or whatever you feel like doing. We've never caught anything big, but the kid's always had fun there. Ash and I took off in the kayaks right away and Ace had his first boat ride! A little nervous at first but he did awesome! Eventually he fell asleep!

Hi everyone! I've been away from blogging for a long time. I haven't been scrapbooking but I have been taking some photo's so I want to share some with you! Hope all my friends and followers are doing well! Life here has been hectic - son just went back to school, 3rd yr University and daughter just started Gr 11. Time sure flies. So, enough about me! I want to share these photo's with you!

I took these photo's this morning - we still had so much ice and as the day warmed up, it all started to melt and was very noisy! A lot of banging, crunching .. loud! Hard to see, but the ground looked like it was covered in diamonds this morning

It's supposed to be spring here but we had one heck of an ice storm this past few days! The kid's had a "snow" day Thursday, so a nice 5 day weekend after being off for March Break. Can I be a kid again?? The freezing rain left many without power for hours, a lot of downed trees, branches .. a huge mess. But it's beautiful at the same time. I ventured out and took some photo's ..

Our theme this month at Lasting Memories is "Thankful" and this weeks challenge was to create a layout about someone who is or was special in your life. This past Wednesday was Rememberance Day and I was sent some photo's of my grandparents who met in WW2 so I did a digital layout. Been awhile and I couldn't remember how to access it after I saved it!
My grandparents are both gone now, Karen Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04432594471328548230noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-894247298420308575.post-87122433088760408832015-09-01T08:28:00.001-04:002015-09-01T08:30:40.359-04:00Owl Love You ...

Remember me?? A lot of changes have been happening in my life and unfortunately, blogging really fell on the back burner. I could hardly keep up with life period! But I've made some changes for the better and things are settling so hoping to get back to crafting. I miss it!
At Lasting Memories, this month's theme was "Together" and one of our challenges was to create a layout based on the Karen Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04432594471328548230noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-894247298420308575.post-62722151033784045822015-05-17T08:00:00.000-04:002015-05-17T08:00:00.317-04:00LM #242 - Strength
Hey all! I know, long time no see right?? This working thing really cuts into my style! I'm so behind this month at Lasting Memories but I am spending this week catching up! Our theme for May is "Life's Affirmations" and each week we have had a theme which I'll show you throughout this week! But this week, our theme is "Strength" and I chose to showcase a 2 page layout from when my daughter was Karen Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04432594471328548230noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-894247298420308575.post-72734467434939980952015-04-01T07:00:00.000-04:002015-04-01T07:00:10.247-04:00That Face Though ...

On Friday my son brought his girlfriend home from University and asked me to do a little photo shoot down by the lake. Unfortunately it was windy and freezing so we had to figure something else out. I love how these turned out - they look very happy and HE is asking me to take pics!!! If you look close, you can even see the snowflakes falling .. yes, it is STILL snowing and STILL cold here! UGH

Morning! As you know, our theme at Lasting Memories this month is "Friendship" and this week, our challenge for you is "So Happy Together" and I thought this layout was perfect.

This week at Lasting Memories, out challenge is "Sweet as Can Be". If you really want to challenge yourself, try to use food somewhere on your layout to keep with our food theme. This wknd was our annual winter retreat and I had one goal - to start and finish a wedding album as a gift for a friend. And I did! So today's layout is one of those pages and is perfect for this weeks challenge!

So life in the Wilson household is settling, slowly (lol) and this little guy has certainly got a hold of my heart strings. Ashleigh loves him to pieces and he's crazy about her. With his crazy antics, his "i'm not tired" face, his "i'm grumpy and tired" growl before he crashes .. his 5 laps around the table to see who will catch him first to cuddling up on the couch beside you when he's had Karen Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04432594471328548230noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-894247298420308575.post-16108788931421871302015-01-16T15:13:00.001-05:002015-01-16T15:13:45.966-05:00Digitally Sweet
