Always have and always will be I love it.<br />
<br />
So people I know convinced me I could do quilting so I thought I would try it and make Marcus a quilt for his room since we have been wanting to do redecorate for awhile.<br />
<br />
Marcus is into rugby A LOT - ok he is obsessed so we searched and found rugby material in New Zealand - ordered and shipped. I got it and looked at it and said now what?<br />

I got together with Heather and Eryn and they walked me through it. Heather designed it, and then they both helped me pick out the colours to go with the it, then the cutting of the fabric and sewing it together for the front panel and then we started the back and I finished that on my own at home.<br />

I finished it and delivered to Heather so she could have a friend help me out and quilt it on her long arm quilting machine since this was a huge project. A double sized quilt. I could never hand quilt that myself nor could I free quilt it on my small sewing machine EVER! The thought of doing it even on a small scale scares me.<br />
<br />
I just got it back the other day delivered by Heather and I am in LOVE with quilting. It turned out fantastic far better than my expectations and Marcus is in heaven about it so far. Thanks Heather for taking a picture of me and the almost finished product.<br />
<br />

<br />
I just need to bind it and that may take me awhile since I have no idea how to do that so now it sits as an unfinished project for a bit but that's ok I will figure it out soon.<br />
<br />
I am now officially addicted to quilting and all that goes with it. And my basement may never turn into a play area for my dayhome kids (sorry kids)<br />

Tara and I met about 8 years ago when she became employed in the office I was working at. We kind of hit it off right away. She reminding me of Anne Hathaway and we both became kindered spirits of all things movie related.<br />
<br />
Well she had a munchkin named Jaxon, who will be 3 in November. I created a 12 month Disney album for him (you can see it <a href="http://joyofscrappin.blogspot.ca/2012/05/baby-gift.html">here</a>) It was so fun to make.<br />
<br />
Tara and her husband Blair have since had another cutie named Oliver, and he will be 1 in a few short weeks. I have yet to finish his album. Therefore I am forcing myself to preview part of it in order to shame me into doing the rest.<br />
<br />
I love how it's turning out and sure had fun making this page. I can't remember where I got the Dalmation files from - I belong to several Silhouette groups and I forgot to mark it down on these ones. They are truly amazing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tara this is all you get to see so far and I hope you like it. <3 p=""><br />

We each get assigned a month and it could be a specific type of LO (layout) or certain items have to be on the page.<br />
<br />
Well I didn't do them in order in fact I still have to do January and March.<br />
<br />
I did do February though.<br />
<br />
The challenge was to do a scrap page and use the embossing machine and embossing folders you have. We all have them and use them on cards but hardly if ever on a page.<br />
<br />
I'm currently scrapbooking our Disneyland 2007 trip so I thought this was perfect for BUZZ LIGHTYEAR<br />
<br />
Here's my take on it<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thought my circles embossing folder made perfect planets for this page. I also used the Cricut to cut Infinity or Bust from the Toy Story Cartridge. I thought it turned out great and Marcus loved it so that's all that counts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hopefully in the next week I can get another challenge done, but we will see I'm trying to learn to use my new machine The Silhouette Cameo. </div>

Working on it made me realize how much I missed my space.<br />
<br />
A really good friend has a daughter that goes to school with Marcus. They have been in the same classes for several years. She's a sweetheart of a girl and our family thinks of her like she is one of ours as we do the whole family.<br />
<br />
Anyways she wanted her sports bottle to have her name on it. I had previously done one for Marcus and his rugby bottle. She liked it and this is what she got.<br />

I think it turned out really well and I really hope she liked it. I used the Cricut Mickey Mouse font for her name and I chose a butterfly (can't remember what cartridge it was on) on the other side because I see her blooming into a very beautiful young girl. </div>

Not only in me but in my space. Really it wasn't my space lately. It was a place to pile everything that didn't have a home or we didn't know what to do with it. It looked like an episode of Hoarders: Buried Alive. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So it took me 3.5 days but I did it. I purged and was mean and strict about it. </div>

<div>
The recyclers were busy with me. Terry even had a truck load to the garbage dump. Nothing was safe. Even the dayhome toys got organized and purged and reorganized so that they too can use their space that was taken over.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had 7 years of Marcus' school work in a cabinet. That is slowly getting purged. I have done 2 years of it so far. It's hard to get rid of his stuff but I'm keeping a few of the best and taking photos of other things I like but don't want to keep. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My space, it's a place for me to go and relax - it's my zen place. It calms me down even if it's just me sitting there. Sometimes Marcus joins me and we put on a movie, he does whatever in the other part of the room while I do my thing in my area. </div>

<div>
Wanna see it all nice and clean now???? </div>
<div>

<div>
Here ya go</div>

Ghosts, Goblins and Little Trick or Treaters will be coming to our door and my latest crafting project will great them.<br />
<br />
I had a wreath for the front door for Fall. It was nice but wouldn't make the cut for Halloween<br />
<br />
Here's what replaced it.<br />

I think my dayhome kids will love it because it isn't SCARRRRRRY as they would say. LOL!<br />
<br />
I also worked on some Halloween Subway art - all cuts are from my Cricut.<br />

I have a few other projects to do so I can decorate the house for the candy infused day. Hopefully I get them all done in time.<br />

<br />
I have a friend named Tara. We met when we both worked outside the home. She and I share a love of movies of all genres.<br />
<br />
Well Miss Tara recently had a baby boy who is delightful. Pure joy. I made this for them. It's all Disney. Does that surprise anyone? LOL!<br />

<br />
It's true I'm addicted to Pinterest. Though I have to admit it has helped my creativity and I have actually completed projects that I have found on there. This is one of them. I did it as a surprise for my BFF Diana and her hubby Chris. I wanted to do something for them as the last year has been a tough one. <br />
<br />

It's their last name and the year they were married.<br />
<br />
I am not sure what line the paper is from but it's neutral to go anywhere in their house. I am told it is on the ledge in their family room which means a place of honour! :)<br />
<br />
I am so glad they love it because I loved doing it for them and so glad I found Pinterest to inspire me to be more creative than I have been.<br />
<br />

You can never have enough know matter the event in my opinion!<br />
<br />
Well I saw this pumpkin at Michael's on one of my visits there about 2 months ago and since I never pay full price for anything I finally got it all and ready to put it together. Love 50%-60% off sales. I think it's one of my favourite Halloween characters that I haven now!<br />

It's still warm out but not too warm and I love the colours of the season.<br />
<br />
Driving Marcus to school today got me thinking of how wonderful the colours are and that I don't have anything in my entry way for Thanksgiving.<br />
<br />
All I needed was 10 minutes, a power drill and a pumpkin and flowers from Michael's.<br />
<br />
I loved it so much I made one for Marcus' school - their office needed the wonderful colours too!<br />

I got to spend some treasured time with some amazing women. I love these days.</div><br />
I'm also very thankful for them as they are farther apart than I would like. It wouldn't have happened if my mother-in-law Hazel hadn't taken Marcus for most of the weekend. Terry is busier than ever writing a paper and studying as well as preparing for his classes he needs to teach this week. I have an amazing mother-in-law.<br />
<br />
Now getting together to scrapbook or whatever the craft is we are doing one would think that we would get actual projects done. Nope that's not the case most of the time.<br />
<br />
This weekend I did get some cards done for the kids in my dayhome for halloween. I got to use an embossing folder from Cuttlebug (spider web), then inked it in Stampin Up black in, then used my cricut for the spider and the moon (doodlecharms) and inside the card I used Martha Stewart Halloween stamp. I think they are cute for the lil ones.<br />

Well Terry would say I have a huge OCD case with storage containers and labelling things. I love them - I buy them and hide them and I buy labels and write on them and label everything.<br />
<br />
Another thing I love to do is flip through all the flyers that come to our door. Terry hates it because he knows I'm going to find something and buy it. You know he is probably right which is the reason he throws out my flyers before I see them or at least tries to. I have been known to dumpster dive!<br />
<br />
Yesterday I got flyers and found the STAPLES one. BIG GRIN ON MY FACE and a phone call to Terry to stop for me on his way home and for $24.99 plus GST I got me a labeller! (crowd goes wild)<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">And it isn't just for scrapbooking - it's for my pantry which when groceries are bought are put into the proper storage container which is labelled! </div><br />

I am also using it for my dayhome I run. All the toys are in their own containers (of course) and now are labelled what they so the kids can learn the words and my OCD will be kept in check. It does symbols as well so I'm quite excited to use it for every container in my home and according to Terry I have a zillion.<br />
<br />
Ok have to jet because it's quiet time which means I can go and label some scrapbooking items with my intials.Arliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04909024963110792351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806790571228049419.post-87834846497431551072011-09-06T21:55:00.000-06:002011-09-06T21:55:25.435-06:00My Woman CaveAll men have or at least majority of them out there want a Man Cave. My husband is no exception. He has our bonus room and has had it since the day we moved into our house 10 years ago. Being a mom as well I kind of just let Marcus take over the living room and I guess you can say that I have never really had a space in the house that was just mine. That was until now! <br />
<br />
I'm so excited - it's been a long haul and after a 2 year renovation it's 95% done and I have my own dream craft space. Terry has been hilarious with it and not only building me my furniture insisting that I get more. Who am I to argue. IKEA CHARGE IT! Yes Eryn I am in need of a IKEA intervention!<br />
<br />
My space has turned out to be my dream space - it's just how I envisioned it. <br />

I am happy it's Back to school but I'm not. This year not only does Marcus go into grade 5 but my husband will be teaching full time and being a full time student. I guess that makes me a crazy mom/wife for the next 2 years. I'm ok with it though because I may get some extra crafting done while he is cracking open the books.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I started to craft again after a long hiatus. It's been great and here is a BACK TO SCHOOL WREATH. I love it and in fact have to make another as I gave this to a wonderful teacher at my son's school and it was so easy to do.<br />

That makes me sad. So last Sunday my friend Heather who is recovering from surgery asked me over, along with my friend Eryn. What could be better? A drop by visit to Heather's by my life long BFF Diana! :) Now if I could only get my other BFF Jill to come scrap with us then I would be even more excited!<br />
<br />
At Heather's I didn't do as much as I wanted, I never do when we are all together as we are usually too busy socializing. A lot of my scrapping stuff is boxed up as our basement carpet is getting put in sometime soon, or at least I hope soon! But I did get 4 cards done. It was great to feel paper and such in my hands again!<br />

A few of us decided to go in on a gift certificate. I wanted to present it in a different way other than a card. After searching I found a fantastic idea at <a href="http://txscrappermom.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html">Tx Scrapper Mom</a>, if you have never checked her blog please do. She does amazing work.<br />
<br />
So here's my take on the gift card present which was a huge hit at the shower.<br />

What a better way to start fresh than on 1-1-11.<br />
<br />
I've decided on some life changes in many aspects of my life. Changes in my personal being, my marriage, my parenting, my friends, my family. I need to make my life healthy in all aspects.<br />
<br />
With that being said I need to a place to talk about just that and my scrapbooking blog isn't the place to do that. So I've created a <a href="http://inspirationloveandjoy.blogspot.com/">NEW BLOG</a> in addition to this one where I can just talk about these changes. This is something I set up long ago but never followed through. It's a new year and I am no longer procrastinating. :)<br />
<br />
I hope you will follow along.Arliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04909024963110792351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806790571228049419.post-75272078390018186012010-12-31T10:45:00.000-07:002010-12-31T10:45:15.447-07:00Ringing in 2011Another year has come and gone and 2011 is just around the corner.<br />
<br />
A lot happened in 2010 and you must take the good with the bad. So we are putting the bad behind us and going to take 2011 by storm.<br />
<br />
Many things happened in 2010 however I don't think we would trade 99% of them, they are what made us stronger. Those we lost this year will be greatly missed and always in our hearts, know that we think of you daily and smile.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I love a new year. It marks a time to make changes, fresh starts and new aspirations. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Resolutions are hard so I try never to make them - most of the time I call them something else so there isn't the pressure of them. I know still the same thing but I have to play tricks with my mind! I have made goals for myself in many aspects of my life for the coming year and truly hope I can stick to them this year. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Let's put 2010 away in our hearts and start anew with 2011. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">My family wishes each and everyone of you a very Happy New Year and all that it holds.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

It's been a topsy turvy year for us. I'm ready for 2011 and all that it holds but first we still have 10 days to go.<br />
<br />
I have been working on some projects that are gifts for some wonderful people and they will find them under their tree on Christmas morning.<br />
<br />
This is a name frame (thanks to my friend Jess for the idea) that I did for my friend Jill's great niece, McKendra. She is such a sweet girl and some how she crawled into our hearts. Marcus and Terry shine when they see her and I just want to pick her up and run her to our house to stay whenever we are together. I used a IKEA frame and my Tinkerbell cricut cartridge and a lot of stickles to create it. I love how it turned out and I cannot wait to do some more. Come on family and friends have more babies I want to do more names! LOL!<br />

<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Water in the basement - not covered by insurance </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Concrete company comes to repair basement - HUGE BILL</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Basement renos halted </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A friend in need moves in with her belongings, cat and turtle</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gas man comes to check bbq line as it appears loose - yup that and other pipes loose and leaking gas - nice gas man fixes all and makes us safe. :)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tent trailer taken to get the axle fixed - repair guy oh easy fix we have the part. No they don't and probably won't have it done until just before our mini-vacation (if we get to go at all)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Terry's fingers get slammed into a door - fingers black and blue and will lose 2 nails</span></li>

</ol><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's a list of things that have happened in just the last month and a half. I'm sure there's a few more but that's the major things so far this summer. There is just over 3 weeks until Terry is back at work and a month until Marcus starts Grade 4. Where has the time gone - oh yeah see above list. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I sit back and think WOW how much more can I take and I then realize we are still very lucky to have everything we have in our lives and have a very healthy family. There is a friend in my life that is truly amazing. I don't know how she does it, she has a 4 children and one that is critically ill and she is handling more stress than anyone should ever endear in a life time but yet somehow she still goes on. Sarah you are an inspiration to me and I am blessed to know you. Caroline, Adam, Oliver and Cooper have a mom that is a true hero. Please check out Sarah's story and keep them in your prayers and thoughts</span><br />
