Friday good things.
06 February 2009
A few things I'm happy about today:
1.I had the day off today, and so did the kids. And we all slept in until 9:30 this morning. Ahhhh!
We've spent a great day together so far, playing cards, Xbox, going sliding, and me even doing some scrapping. I'm hoping I can finish up those layouts soon and post them. Even though I'm a very simple scrapper, it sometimes takes me days to finish a page. So sad, isn't it? ;p On tonight's agenda is hockey on the tube. It's Montreal-Buffalo, which is always a good match up.
Here's a pic of my hockey dudes from the other day.
and one of the dog for good measure.
Yes, it's *that* snowy here, and we're all getting just a tad fed up.
2. Tickets to Ray Lamontagne's show went on sale today at noon. And at 12:00pm on the nose, I logged onto Ticketmaster and scored 2 seats to see him on April 14th. My birthday is the day after, so this is my gift to me! I can't wait.
3. I bought this lens at an amazing price from my friend who's upgrading to the Nikon 50-1.4 VR that just came out. I can't wait to have it in my hands tomorrow! His is the older metal model, and it's a beauty of a lens.
4. I think I finally found a paper trimmer that cuts straight, something I've been looking for forever! I've tried so many, and wasted my $ on ones I hate. It's this one, and it's awesome.
5. And finally, I saw this today on 2Peas, and did quite the double take when I saw my face on this ad...
Steph was kind enough to email me the screen capture of it- I had tried in vain to find it because I swear, I thought I was dreaming! ;p There's a ton of fun contests going on at 2Peas this month, including this guest garden girl spot, so head on over there and try a few.. I'm hoping I can join in on the online crop tonight.
I'll leave you with a happy card I made today, and hopefully the layouts will soon follow suit.. ;p
Enjoy the weekend!

Hi mel!!! miss you :) :)
Love that picture of your dog. A bit tired of the snow here, too.
gorgeous photos! love that sweet card! can't wait to see the layouts! and I saw your face at 2peas today too and was so happy when I saw it.
p.s. enjoy the lens - i have the canon one and i LOVE it!
I'm still looking for the perfect trimmer, I think I'll try that one when i have a few extra dollars. Thanks for the tip!
Cool for the lens! I'm going to get a 50mm lens too, but I can only afford the 1.8 one. Still better than nothing!
a. 9:30?? are you kidding me? that sounds like heaven to me!!
b. also jealous about the ray l. tickets. i would love to see that show.
c. hehehe, we look fabulous, don't you think?? teehee!!
xo
great pic of the boys, you have to scrap that one and the fun dog one, you'll have to explain to me what that lens does again and what a pretty card!
i see that you follow another patti's blog and so that comment above is from me mel, rocklady! ;)
merci du tuyau concernant le massicot, j'ai le cutterpede et je n'arrive pas à couper droit !!! ça me rassure de savoir que tu as eu le même genre de problème !!!
That paper cutter is interesting! I like that you can cut different styles not just a straight line. The fancy scissors drive me nuts and this would be a very nice alternative. Hmmm - may have to do some 'looking'!!
Darling card, too!
