hmmm, what is it?

Just playing with my camera and zoomed into this candle...it turned out kinda cool. I think that is a layer of dust it is sitting on-lol I guess I should get off my butt and do a lil' cleanin'...

Fred and I were out for a quick walk today.

We found lots...

Hope you enjoyed a bit of our walk.

and take more

pics!

Time is flying by...so are my boys!!!

I can't believe how big the boys are getting. Craig will be 15 in Feb. and Josh 13 in March.

Look how tall and thin they both are...Love u guys!!!

I can't believe that today is Dec.19th...and we have no snow! Well, that didn't stop these 2 from going sledding. I took these pics of them yesterday(Dec.18th). They had a blast together. I lost count how many times they made it up and down their little hill.(I have to mention this is their favourite little spot to sled). It's just around the corner from our house and the boys use this green space all the time.

After an afternoon of sledding we had dinner and then went for a walk looking at all the pretty lights in our neighbourhood. I must remember to bring my camera next time ;)

We need your VOTE!

Thanks Everyone:)

Buttons Galore!!!

Any feedback on the bows??? I kinda like them myself...

The count down is on...sooooooooo excited about Christmas. Is everybody almost ready?

I have been very busy at the market with my Alphabet Art. The past month has been AWESOME!

Mom reminded me that her and I use to do lots of crafting when I was little...Thanks mom for passing on your creative juices :)

I have made a bunch of these super cute Christmas Trees. I have even sold some at market.

Buttons are my passion...they make me happy. Even my boys are lovin' these trees. They don't want me to bring them to market-ha. So guess who has 1/2 dozen Christmas trees in her house???

It's a WIN-Win!!!

Fred's Turn!!!

Fred did much better then the rest of us...lol. I really like this pic of Fred. He is looking dog-gone good ;)

We'll try again another day!

My 2 boys are like Night and Day!!! Meet Night :)
Me with no make up or anything-gross!!!

and day...this kid is so funny!

We tried a couple of shots around the Christmas tree...

Wasn't the best time!

We

will

try

again

(someday:)

Cute Surprise!

I got my camera and as I was going through some of the shots...I came across Fred with my blue hat on! Strange, I thought. But...so CUTE. Josh must had got Fred to do a "photo shoot" with him. lol Fred isn't really lookin' impressed with having to wear my hat :)
Hope your

all

having

a

Happy

Sunday!

Looking for my pot of Gold ;)

This is what was waiting to greet us as we ran out the door for work and school today. I can't tell you how much I LOVE rainbows~

They are my most favourite!!!!! As I drove to work it followed me almost all the way :) I felt like a lucky girl. Then the sky got dark...then light again... and then a sun shower was happening. It was a cool, strange weather day today.

But, I got to see my friend "Rainbow"

so everything turned out good!

LOVE letters

Seagulls everywhere!

I love the small town charm...

The boys watching the bridge as it was coming back down...they could have stayed for hours watching

Josh was spreading his love...by writing his name. He always finished it off with a smiley face.

and ~E~

Friday we took a visit to Port Stanley. We spent most of the day there. The boys had a blast checking out the sights, writing messages in the sand. I too love to write in the sand...so I did some of my letters :) I left many messages on the beach for all the beach goers to read!

We love Port Stanley :)
