Time for Spring Cleaning!!!!!
What does this add up to? Why, our annual spring yard sale of course! We've made the last minute decision to have it this Saturday at 7:30am-12:30pm. Come on out if you want to give us money for our junk...er, I mean wonderful treasures! :) Well, they could be treasures to you! We've got tons of baby girl clothes, a baby car seat, tons more baby items, (Duh, do you think we had a baby last year?) comic books, electronics, and many other wonderful miscellaneous items! I'm sure there will be something for everyone!
And...of course, there will be TONS of discounted scrapbooking items! See you all Saturday morning! :)

I've Got a Bug!
Yeah, so not much else to write about lately. Ella is still teething and to boot has had an upset tummy. I've taken a few mental health breaks this week- first with my mom coming to look after her for a few hours while I went out to get some "back to work" clothes with my birthday money. Retail therapy is always wonderful! :) Then that terrific night at Julie's and now I'm really looking forward to my own stamping night that I am hosting tomorrow night. Mine is a full out Stampin Up party where we will be learning to use some handy dandy stuff I am pretty sure I haven't seen before. It will be nice to have a bunch gals over, have some wine and some crafty fun. Probably won't be doing any CHRISTMAS cards tomorrow night but that's OK- there is always the weekend for me! Hope all is well with all of you- ciao for now!

Ella's Lunch
Upgrade to TWO teeth coming at once!
Saturday, May 5, 2007
Good morning bright and early!
Speaking of Ella, we have had quite a rough few days, thanks to her third tooth cutting through! I really do not understand why babies have to endure so much pain as their teeth grow in! It doesn't seem quite fair. The poor little thing has been running a fever off and on for the past three days (she feels slightly warm again this morning) and has been in such agony! Yesterday afternoon the little white bump appeared to finally cut through the gum and poke out! I guess that's three down...seventeen more to go. :(

I think it might actually be spring!
Yes. You heard right. It is May 3rd and we are going to take down our Christmas lights today! Whoo hoo! I'm excited! Now I know what some of you are thinking. Why on Earth would you take them down? I mean, there are less than 8 months until Christmas- soon enough, you'll just need to put them back up again. Excellent reasoning, and I appreciate your concern, but no, we are definitely going to take them down. It just seems like the right thing to do. :)
Hope you are all enjoying this lovely day with outdoor activities...just like us!

Another...you guessed it! Picture of Ella!
Picture from this morning
Here is Ella this morning, still in her jammies.
A very odd thing happened this morning! Ella slept in....
No, really, she did!
Seriously, I thought I was in the twilight zone and was confused for quite some time this morning. Ella is usually more precise than an alarm clock, set for exactly 5:30am so imagine our surprise to wake up to daylight this morning and it was 6am! Yay us! Such a nice treat! Thanks, Ella-Boo! Keep it up! (ha ha, yeah right...we'll be back to normal tomorrow, I betcha!)

Apparently, I should just give up and buy an etch-a-sketch!
My Ella-Boo!
Here is my little beauty, Ella Delia. She was almost 10 months old when this pic was taken.
Here are some current facts about Ella. She LOVES Cheerios and has them pretty much every day! She adores the Backyardigans and Miffy. She loves music and is quite the cute little dancer. Sometimes she'll be sitting on the floor playing with her toys and all of a sudden will start grooving to whatever song is one, whether it's Row Row Your Boat, or Black Eyed Peas. Her very favourite song is Wheels on the Bus, which she learned in swim class (Water Babies). She LOVES the water and I really need to get her back to the pool for some swims now that Water Babies is over! She has two teeth, both on the bottom, in the middle. She has a little white bump on the top and it looks (and seems by her mood swings) like a top one is about to break through! She is crawling and pulling herself up to standing constantly lately. She has an abundance of energy and can't seem to sit still. Even in her high chair, she is constantly squirming and moving around. Definitely the same little baby I had wiggling around and kicking my ribs inside 10 and a half months ago! One of her favourite activities lately is scurrying down the hall on all fours and playing with the office door (or bathroom door, or bedroom door...it doesn't matter!) She's a real charmer and loves people. Sometimes I think she gets bored seeing only mommy and daddy so much because when she gets in a bad mood, all you need to do is take her out to see other people and she's happy as a clam! She has the most beautiful smile, and fortunately, she is a very happy baby and we see that smile lots! :)
Well...I now have a BLOG. Welcome to the here and now!
Hmmmm...what can I tell you about me? Well, I like to do crafty things, like scrapbook and stamp. OK, so I'm not being as clear as I should be. I am a total ADDICT when it comes to scrapbooking and I love taking pictures, especially of Ella! She is only 10 and a half months old and I have 2 12x12 baby albums of her up to the end of her 5th month. I'm so hooked on scrapbooking that I signed up to be a Creative Memories consultant JUST so I can get my scrapbooking supplies at cost prices! I also love making cards- birthday cards, Christmas cards, and thanks to all my stamping friends in Dartmouth, this is becoming quite the addiction as well.
I am also kind of a geek, but that is OK because I am comfortable with it! I am a HUGE Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan and there has been a little hole in my heart ever since the show went off the air a few years back. Fortunately, they recently came out with a "Season 8" comic book which is somewhat helping to fill the void.
I am a huge couch potato- Tony and I watch a lot of TV. My biggest fave right now is the show HEROES. I like playing poker, though I don't do it very often, just once in a while with friends. Tony knows much more about poker than I do and plays a lot more often...though I tend to kick his butt whenever we play lol! Most of the time, not all.... Sorry, honey!
A typical day for me is spent at home, playing with Ella. We try to get out once a week to playdates with friends, and when the weather is nice, we go for walks.
That's about it, I think. That's me. Chat with you later!
