~ one thing leads to another ~

Today has been a great lazy day!

I started by waking up with my little sunshine {lulu}, playing with her in her room {so dad could sleep a little longer}, and then having a great breakfast {waffles & bananas}. Once she was settled back in her room, I started surfing the net, reading blogs & finishing off my coffee.

I happened upon the Creating Keepsakes Magazine site & checked out what they were looking for in the next couple of months {Becky's Sketch is what I think I'll try for this year}. I then moved on to their CKU section & checked out their 2008 dates. I started to reminisce about my time at CKU-Teachers in 2005 & I pulled out my scrapbook of the event.

One of my favourite classes was that of Emily Adams. I loved how she inspired us to shine & be true to ourselves. I've never forgotten that, and I hope to live true to myself always, especially when I'm creating & then preserving the special moments in my life. I also remember meeting some other fabulous & inspirational women at CKU-Teachers... Stacy Julian {I still have the little jar of sprinkles she handed out to remind us to not only teach, but to always put a little sugar on it} & Lisa Bearnson {check out how cheesed I am at meeting her...yes, she had to bend down to my height so that we could have picture together}

SO... after a little reminiscing, I checked out Emily Adams' blog & found out that she is now with Luxe Designs {great stuff}, and that she & her co-worker Pam will be choosing a Design Team for Luxe Designs. So, ladies & gentlemen, I'm going to, once again, throw in my hat & try to be a part of this Design Team. I'm a little scared and yet I know that I can do this. I just have to plan my projects well and create. I'll let you know how it goes.

I then realized that my week as "Sister of the Week" was done. I loved it. I'd like to thank the gals at Sisterhood of Scrap for a wonderful time! I'll be playing the games this week... Can't wait to start!

Last, but not least...

There is one week to go for Scrappin' for MS! I cannot wait & I hope all of the registrants are as excited as I am. I'll post final details here within the next few days.

Talk to you tomorrow,

Cindy
