It seems that no matter how much I try to pull myself together and get back to creating and posting, I fail. I haven't been a very good blogger, and in the past year or so, haven't been a very good creator.<div><br /></div><div>Somehow along the way, life got quite out of hand. I always seemed to set myself aside in order to do for others and it really hasn't been worth the time or effort that I put into it. I have a tendency to do that, always setting myself up for major disappointment and hurt. </div><div><br /></div><div>I recently lost my job (and if you know me, you know where that was). This has proven to be just another set back in my life that I am trying hard to over come. I am saddened and deeply hurt by this news, but I know that things will get better eventually. The part that is going to be the hardest for me is the loss of contact with people that I grew to be friends with. In some cases, I have no personal contact outside of my place of work. If you happen to be one of those people, and would like to stay in contact with me, please feel free to send me an email. lisahaas2001@yahoo.ca I really do hope that along the way we will cross paths again.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Sassettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14824172349291391653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28862271.post-16245698411345676392011-10-31T16:38:00.005-04:002011-10-31T17:15:20.515-04:00Happy Halloween!!!Is everyone ready for some Halloween fun? I know that I sure am! I am looking forward to all the fun projects and pages that will be getting created in the days and weeks to come. Since my kids are all grown up now, I miss the fun in gathering items for making costumes and all the decisions that go along with that. I used to love planning out with the kids what they would like to be for Halloween and watching them come up with some great ideas for creating them. We never took money for all the fancier store bought costumes. Instead it was more fun to put on our creative thinking caps and seeing what we could come up with. Not only did they look great, but we made some great memories of the fun we had doing it.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5jx8FA_kYiQ/Tq8Jq1h_PII/AAAAAAAABDI/KA2IIn42yt4/s1600/DSC07443.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5jx8FA_kYiQ/Tq8Jq1h_PII/AAAAAAAABDI/KA2IIn42yt4/s320/DSC07443.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669761087411534978" border="0" /></a><br />Since the time has come for all ghouls and goblins to come out for trick or treating, I thought it would be fun to share a project I have been working on in honour of this fun day! It has been quite a while since I was able to sit and just create something fun and for ME, and I was beginning to think that it might never happen again! Alas, it did, and I had so much fun with this project. I can't wait to put all the finishing touches on it, but that is going to have to wait until the photos are printed and put in.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NfYV1qJWl-Q/Tq8JrLXC4UI/AAAAAAAABDY/97FjDPI7p60/s1600/DSC07445.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NfYV1qJWl-Q/Tq8JrLXC4UI/AAAAAAAABDY/97FjDPI7p60/s320/DSC07445.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669761093271216450" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-poxFa8Lw3FM/Tq8JsK1tiTI/AAAAAAAABD4/U-CxVeqB1mg/s1600/DSC07448.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-poxFa8Lw3FM/Tq8JsK1tiTI/AAAAAAAABD4/U-CxVeqB1mg/s320/DSC07448.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669761110311274802" border="0" /></a><br />Once I have hunted down and reprinted the photos that I want for this album, I will be adding more ribbon and more detail to each of the pages. In most cases, the photos are going to need to be adhered before I can do that! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oPPG8sQJywQ/Tq8Jrtb9olI/AAAAAAAABDg/o740ndKcvYE/s1600/DSC07446.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oPPG8sQJywQ/Tq8Jrtb9olI/AAAAAAAABDg/o740ndKcvYE/s320/DSC07446.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669761102418649682" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5RlQkfOQ2Tc/Tq8JryuRCCI/AAAAAAAABDs/F16K1f6jmTM/s1600/DSC07447.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5RlQkfOQ2Tc/Tq8JryuRCCI/AAAAAAAABDs/F16K1f6jmTM/s320/DSC07447.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669761103837595682" border="0" /></a><br /><br />For this project, I used the Bo Bunny Whoo-ligans line! This line is so much fun with all the dressed up kids, the fun colour combination and the fun theme. I knew that I would just have to use it for something, and glad I finally could sit down to play with it. I love the 2 sided paper and really how easy it makes it for putting together a project like this. Simple, sometimes, is best! With it being so quick and easy to do, it was a great place for me to start to getting back into 'me' creating again. It feels so good to have finished with a project so quickly and I can't wait to keep this ball rolling.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rDiOT1z1KsM/Tq8LZl5az1I/AAAAAAAABEs/o0a8CcmgPZ0/s1600/DSC07452.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rDiOT1z1KsM/Tq8LZl5az1I/AAAAAAAABEs/o0a8CcmgPZ0/s320/DSC07452.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669762990180323154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RzHnSwkjWWY/Tq8LZQuNGvI/AAAAAAAABEg/smF3I4hlT-I/s1600/DSC07451.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RzHnSwkjWWY/Tq8LZQuNGvI/AAAAAAAABEg/smF3I4hlT-I/s320/DSC07451.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669762984496143090" border="0" /></a><br />Mini albums are a great project to create for many different things.

It has been an extremely busy 2 months, since my last post. Finally I think I have gotten a handle on life and all things that are within it.<br />The summer was an extremely busy, but fun one. Lots of traveling, road trips and just plain out enjoying the beautiful weather that was upon us.<br /><br />Now that the cooler weather is here, I have begun to get 'caught up' with my TO DO list!<br /><br />November classes are done and at The Memory Keeper and I am looking forward to seeing who will come out and join in the fun! If you haven't stopped by the store, make sure you do! I am sure you will not be disappointed in what you see.<br /><br />Now the the November classes are done and delivered to the store, I have been diligently working on the very long TO DO list I had in front of me. The past couple of days have been very productive in this way and I am looking forward to finally being caught up totally. Lots of kits have been made this week and tomorrow will be no different. On top of more of the TO DO list, I will also be prepping for tomorrow's class.<br /><br />I have also been working very hard on getting my own personal scrapping back on track and had a blast with fun creating last Friday night! I did manage to get a finished 6X6 Halloween album done that is just waiting for photos to be added. I will be taking pics of this project to share with you in the next couple of days. <br /><br />Now that the routine is getting back in swing and my personal scrapping has begun again, I will be making better effort to be updating my blog more often and having more fun projects to share with you too.Sassettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14824172349291391653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28862271.post-22744039980829116762011-08-24T16:44:00.002-04:002011-08-24T16:55:12.599-04:00Schedules and Routines Back to Normal?Well time sure is starting to fly by again, since I got home. It seems that schedules and routines are now getting back to normal, and time is of the essence. No matter how hard I try, there doesn't seem to be enough time in a day to get done with all the things that I am needing to accomplish. We won't even begin to mention the stuff that I WANT to get done!
<br />
<br />This week I am back to prepping for classes, gearing up to get back in the full swing of things for class night, and of course, thinking ahead to October classes. Mind you, at this point, thinking is all that is happening.
<br />
<br />Along the way, I am trying hard to get myself some creating time in (not class related) and I am inspired to the highest level, but can't find just the right papers that I feel would be best for these upcoming projects! It is horrible when you imagine a certain look in your head, and yet can't get it out. It feels as if creativity is locked within side of me, just itching to get out, and yet has been postponed!
<br />
<br />I am driving myself crazy thinking about what I 'want', that I guess I just may have to really go outside of the box on this one. Only problem is that whatever I come up with, has to be easily duplicated 5X. Now this is going to be interesting to see how any of this will pan out for me. I have always liked a good challenge, and anyone that knows me, knows I am not capable of backing down. So onto a great journey to see if this is going to work out. I have a deadline for these projects, as well. This is going to really make it more of an interesting journey. The next month is going to be very busy, and hopefully productive in the way that I am hoping!

I can't believe how quickly summer has flown by! It seems we wait through out a very long and dragged out winter for the nice weather to arrive and stick around and then POOF...just like that it flies right by! How is that even considered to be fair?
<br />
<br />Holidays were GREAT! Had a wonderful road trip with hubby! It was so good to finally be out of the house, spending some one on one quality time with him! We don't get to do this near often enough to suit me! The roads were certainly well traveled this week and lots of photos were taken! I will share some with you all within a few days.
<br />
<br />Now that I am home, it is time to get back to some sort of normalcy with routine and schedules. This is the worst part of holiday wind down. Makes me wish we could just pick up and escape again...like NOW! Since this is not a possibility, it means time to get my mind wrapped around all of the things here that are calling my name. I have to tend to the laundry (after DH gets new dryer hooked up) Our dryer, unfortunately decided to die on us just before we left on our holidays. Oh well...new one was purchased and delivered and now is actually getting hooked up. This was a nice surprise when we got home! This will definitely make getting the laundry caught up nicer when I get that far (tomorrow). Have been on a cleaning frenzy today, and have been getting some things accomplished. Not as much as I would like, at this point, but we just got home last night!!!
<br />
<br />Tomorrow will more than likely be better in the cleaning department. Today I am tired and just really not feeling all that into the whole cleaning thing! I guess I can take a day off after holidays to get that 'home mode' back! Then it will be time to kick it into full gear, schedules, routine and back to having my mind working on over load with everything that needs to get done!
<br />
<br />Hopefully after this week is over, and life gets back to the norm, I will be able to even sit and consider getting some creativity happening. I lack motivation, inspiration and drive anymore for this. It seems that if I am not creating class things, I am not creating! I have to make this stop and put into my schedule some ME time in this area. It is my goal to get the inspiration flowing, the photos printed and then let the creativity flow! Wish me luck!!
<br />
<br />Until next time!
<br />

This past year has been one of many issues and I have hardly found any time for much online business. I have not done any real creating since last July and have had nothing new to share with anyone.
<br />Life has gotten busy and there has been so much to get done just to manage on a day to day basis.
<br />
<br />I am really hoping that in the weeks to come that things will begin to change and that I will be able to post more often. I am hoping that there will be some creating along the way as well and then I will have something to really share. In the meantime, I am going to try and get better at posting just about my daily life and somewhere along the way there should be something creative too! One can certainly hope, anyways!
<br />
<br />I have revamped just slightly with a new look, and am hoping this will encourage me to keep up with postings! Now all I have to do is find something to post about, and perhaps even find some motivation and inspiration to get back to my crafty self! I really do miss the creative element in my life!
<br />
<br />If you are still out there and visit my blog from time to time....Thank You! I know it has been an extremely long time, but at times life has to come first!

It was all good though and it was wonderful getting to spend some time with family throughout the week!<br /><br />Everyone has been asking about my New Year's resolution, and to be honest, I don't like to make resolutions. I never seem to be able to stick with whatever I say I will do and well, then I feel like a total loser and that just makes me feel worse than I did before committing to anything. I do like to set myself some type of goals each year though.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">My goals for 2011:</span><br /><br />Get healthier and more active<br />Create more for myself<br />Enjoy some quiet time<br />Learn to balance things better without getting overwhelmed<br /><br />These are a few at the moment and I am sure there will be more added as the month progresses and I have real time to focus on what I want to see happen this coming year! For now I think I have a good start on things and hopefully I will do well at reaching some of my goals along the way! Here's to hoping!<br /><br />I am giving myself this week to get life back on track now that the holidays are over, and then <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">LET THE CREATING COMMENCE!!!!!</span>Sassettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14824172349291391653noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28862271.post-20157212809385098772010-12-10T15:27:00.004-05:002010-12-10T15:35:39.864-05:00MIA (again)It has been a really long time since I last posted here, and it was brought to my attention that I really need to post more often! I can't believe how the last part of this year got away from me and with having very little time for creating, I just haven't had a whole lot to share with you all here!<br /><br />It is my goal to have more to share with you in the New Year though, as I have been busy planning out some sort of creating calendar! I am missing the time to play with all of my goodies and see what transpires in front of my eyes. I need to MAKE time for creating or I just might end up going stir crazy (no comments from the peanut gallery...you know who you are)<br /><br />The holidays are getting closer and there is still so much to be done. There doesn't seem to be enough hours in a day, but I have faith I will get everything done on time. I just keep plugging along knowing that when the big day is here, I will enjoy spending time with my boys and look forward to our extended family gathering too! It will all so be well worth all the work!<br /><br />For now, I will share this project with you that I will be teaching at my LSS next week.

I am working hard on getting all of my stuff put away (purging will wait now until Spring).<br /><br />I have made a goal for myself to get some sort of creating in at least once a week. I am finding that by the end of the week I am very tired from either doing my class projects, teaching, or all of the organizing of my goodies!<br /><br />Lately, I have been playing with scraps and trying to use up some of those and in the midst, I have created some cards. It just really feels good to be creating something! I finally decided to try my hand at a tri-shutter card and this is my end result! I definitely need to be making some more of these! I just love this style!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TMr_kQM_SvI/AAAAAAAABCs/NPaYnL_LVnI/s1600/tru+shutter+2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 195px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TMr_kQM_SvI/AAAAAAAABCs/NPaYnL_LVnI/s320/tru+shutter+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533516090467896050" border="0" /></a><br />Thanks for looking!Sassettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14824172349291391653noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28862271.post-57018927333378551752010-10-28T22:53:00.005-04:002010-10-28T23:01:10.267-04:00October Surprise Envie Challenge/ScrapturesThis month I was lucky enough to participate in this fun challenge.

Even with the wonderful, warm, season over, there is always so much to love in my yard. I miss all the colour of the garden, and getting out to tend to it in the sunshine, but the view can still be spectacular from time to time. This morning was a very busy one in the yard, and I just thought I would share some of my photos of this morning with you! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!<br /><br />The Gold Finches frequent my yard, and altogether I have seen 3 couples feeding on my Cosmos along with plenty of babies! I love this sight!<br /><br />Blue Jays are no stranger to my yard!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TMEIGKVz-ZI/AAAAAAAABBc/OPnuZJ-ttpU/s1600/blue+jay.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TMEIGKVz-ZI/AAAAAAAABBc/OPnuZJ-ttpU/s320/blue+jay.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530710719335758226" border="0" /></a>They have the most beautiful and striking colour and I love to listen to them as they 'warble' with happiness when the peanuts are plenty for the eating!

Watching them eat the peanuts and sunflower seeds is delightful. They work so very hard pecking away and getting their fill. I love watching him fly into the tree and peck away at the sunflower seeds to break it open! Such a wonderful delight to see in the morning!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TMEITI-8leI/AAAAAAAABCE/_nx84I4t7x8/s1600/papa.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TMEITI-8leI/AAAAAAAABCE/_nx84I4t7x8/s320/papa.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530710942309717474" border="0" /></a><br />Mama and Papa Cardinal.....simply beautiful! They jump from branch to branch in the lilac tree making sure that it is safe to get in on the seeds! I love how papa will watch out for mama while she eats. He is never far from her at all. I love when he gets the seeds and feeds her!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this magnificent creature sitting on the top of the tree. I thought I was 'seeing' things! By the time I had grabbed my camera, he was getting ready to fly away, but I managed to capture this wonderful shot just in time! I so love nature and the joy it can bring! Even nicer when it is right in your very own backyard!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TMEIHcemCGI/AAAAAAAABB0/nH4mQYMTOUQ/s1600/hawk.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TMEIHcemCGI/AAAAAAAABB0/nH4mQYMTOUQ/s320/hawk.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530710741384300642" border="0" /></a>Sassettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14824172349291391653noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28862271.post-39645757479377468032010-10-19T21:58:00.005-04:002010-10-19T22:08:53.370-04:00Finally...as promised!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TL5NhRanRqI/AAAAAAAABBU/zsJTGmLliqA/s1600/ghost+boo.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TL5NhRanRqI/AAAAAAAABBU/zsJTGmLliqA/s320/ghost+boo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529942626463598242" border="0" /></a><br />Well, I finally have had some chance to be on the computer today to get my newest creations uploaded and shared! I had a lot of fun playing and creating these fun Halloween cards. I used my Studio G stamps, flock, mini buttons, ribbon and well it was just a lot of fun to create these adorable cards for my nieces and nephews!<br /><br />The above card was a lot of fun to create! I love google eyes and just couldn't resist adding so many to this 'spooky' card. I flocked the ghosts as well! This card is definitely too cute to spook!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TL5NgopVTaI/AAAAAAAABA8/_L6WfuH4Bqg/s1600/dracula.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TL5NgopVTaI/AAAAAAAABA8/_L6WfuH4Bqg/s320/dracula.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529942615519481250" border="0" /></a><br />Dracula is so much fun and the addition of the google eyes really bring him to life!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TL5NhEdLWxI/AAAAAAAABBM/D-IGBda_5WI/s1600/frankie.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TL5NhEdLWxI/AAAAAAAABBM/D-IGBda_5WI/s320/frankie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529942622984690450" border="0" /></a><br />Frankie holds a special place in my heart! He is just too cute and I couldn't resist giving him the full flocked look and the different size google eyes really give him such great character! I think he may be my favourite!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TL5Ng0qxqII/AAAAAAAABBE/BC58L61IKWw/s1600/mr+bones.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TL5Ng0qxqII/AAAAAAAABBE/BC58L61IKWw/s320/mr+bones.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529942618746759298" border="0" /></a><br />Mr. Bones has been flocked white! He is pretty cute and I can't wait to give him to my nephew!<br /><br />I really had a lot of fun with these, and although the designs are very simple and basic, they turned out pretty good (I think!)<br /><br />Hope this inspires you to play and have fun with some cards!Sassettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14824172349291391653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28862271.post-52519699432265428332010-10-18T20:52:00.003-04:002010-10-18T21:08:54.303-04:00Have you missed me?Well it seems that I have been neglecting my blog the past few months, and there are some of you out there that have started to really bring it to my attention. I apologize for not having a whole lot to post on here lately, but do hope that the days and weeks to come, will show some changes.<br />This past Friday I actually had some time to sit and just be a little creative. I managed to get a handful of cards done (well 2 still need a couple of finishing touches). Anyways, I am hoping to get those photographed in the next couple of days and then I will have something new to share with you!<br /><br />In the last couple of months, I have not been doing a whole lot of personal scrapping. Since my term as Guest Designer at <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.scraptures.ca">Scraptures</a>, so much has been going on in my life that has kept me from having the time to devote to my personal scrapping. I did, however do 50 pages for the page sale at <a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://www.discountscrapbooksupplies.com">The Memory Keeper</a>. The sale had a great turn out, and all of my pages sold! I was extremely happy about that. <br /><br />I also created a memorial album for my brother-in-law's funeral. Sadly we lost him suddenly to a massive heart attack on August 28, 2010. This was by far the hardest project I have ever had to work on, but my sister had requested that I did this album. My heart breaks for my sister and my 2 nieces, who are still having a difficult time dealing with their loss. No child should ever have to grow up without their parents, but together we will get through the difficult days ahead.<br /><br />Since my brother-in-law's passing, I have found it very hard to find the time to devote to scrapping. I have been assisting my sister with dealing with things around the house, being there for the girls after school, and thrown in there, I am still doing my classes. I am working on trying to set one day a week aside for me to get creative, and hopefully this schedule will work out and I will have more things to share on a more regular basis.

Honestly....Well it sure is hard to believe that so much time has gone by since I was last here to post! The summer has certainly been a busy one and time has gotten away from me. I am just glad to be able to find some time to do some posting and let everyone know that I am still around! Just been busy with attending CHA, and holidays. <br /><br />I am going to do my best to get some posts done this week and get you all caught up on what has been going on with me, but for now, I am going to go and do some more catch up online.<br /><br />Hope you didn't miss me too much!Sassettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14824172349291391653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28862271.post-40498267037124107282010-07-25T00:15:00.001-04:002010-07-25T00:18:45.729-04:00Been a very LONG month!Summer arrived, and boy has it flown by so far! I have not found any time for much on the computer this month and therefore have not updated my blog it what seems like forever!!! I am sure hoping that things can slow down soon so that I can get back on track and keep up with my posts, my creating and just keeping in touch with everyone!<br /><br />Next week I am heading to CHA and am really looking forward to the journey! So many great new goodies are coming on the market and I can't wait to personally see things in person. I am hoping to be able to share some photos with everyone during the week, but if not, you can be certain that there will be lots of new posts once I arrive home.<br /><br />Hope everyone is staying safe and has found a way to stay cool!<br /><br />Check in with you when I can!Sassettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14824172349291391653noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28862271.post-61779714309919950762010-06-25T10:58:00.007-04:002010-06-25T11:49:29.428-04:00This Bunny has HEARTWell, today is the deadline for a challenge that Shanna posted on her <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.mynextthirtyyears.com/">blog</a>, and it was definitely a challenge that I just couldn't resist! Anyone that 'knows' me, knows how much fun I have with my punches, and this challenge was just right up my alley!<br />Back on June 11th, Shanna posted a punch challenge. She has asked that we use a minimum of 2 punches on a project, card or layout. In her original post she used her punches on some cards to show us how fun they can be and how they can add the perfect embellishment for our projects.<br /><br />Well, I like to take punches to a whole new realm and see what can be created from them other than what they actually are. I LOVE shapes and love to be able to transform them into fun embellishments for my layouts, cards and projects. I see shapes in a whole new light and I love the creating process it brings to me.<br /><br />Here are a couple of the projects that I have created to meet Shanna's challenge:<br /><br />This pail would be perfect for any Easter Bunny to leave your treats in. The bunny on the front of the pail is created completely of hearts, and an oval added for the egg he is holding. The heart punches are 3 various sizes by Marvy.

I was asked if there was anything out there to do with Backyardigans, and upon looking, found the availability for scrap booking was not there. I decided to see what I could come up with and this is the layout I created. Each of these characters were created with a variation of punches, Quickutz dies and BossKut dies. They are my very own creation and I had so much fun coming up with these. I don't have children young enough, so therefore, I have no photos to put on this layout. Papers, of course are Bo Bunny....my FAVE!!!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TCTLBkbTE4I/AAAAAAAABAM/nakmZUC_awc/s1600/backyardigans.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 158px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TCTLBkbTE4I/AAAAAAAABAM/nakmZUC_awc/s320/backyardigans.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486733473862587266" border="0" /></a><br />The bunny on the pail and the Backyardigans are my own original design and are to only be used for personal use.

I need to clear my head, focus and learn to move forward with things, so that is on the top of my TO DO list this week!<br /><br />I have lots of creating to get done this week. July classes need to be designed, I have kits to create for the LSS, kit need to get put together to put in the mail and I have some pages for another gal that need to get worked on. With so much on the go, it is time for me to refocus my energy for the positive and move forward with these things.<br /><br />Clearing my head and posting some of my TO DO list here, is going to help me meet those goals.<br />So here is to a much better week!!!!<br /><br />Now, if I could only get Mother Nature to cooperate with me, all could be good. The sky is grey and cloudy and it isn't looking too promising at the moment! I am hopeful that this weather is not going to hinder my mojo and motivation to get things done! I so need to see that list getting smaller so that I can sit back, breathe and just have some fun creating time!<br /><br />Wish me luck!Sassettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14824172349291391653noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28862271.post-24506372644196078862010-06-13T00:12:00.005-04:002010-06-13T00:30:52.196-04:00Hamilton Wingfest<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBRdGKRRfFI/AAAAAAAAA_E/Rfz6uzhilmg/s1600/kim+mitchell+wingfest+june+11+2010+111.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 190px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBRdGKRRfFI/AAAAAAAAA_E/Rfz6uzhilmg/s320/kim+mitchell+wingfest+june+11+2010+111.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482109006834138194" border="0" /></a>It is evident that festival season has begun in the Hammer, and I am loving every bit of it!!! I look forward to festival season every year and it really couldn't have started at a better time for me!Last night was the opening of <a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://www.hamiltonwaterfrontwingfest.com/">Hamilton's Wingfest</a>, and <a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://www.lobsterlightinginc.com/">Kim Mitchell</a> was playing. I was so jazzed up and raring to go for last night. I really was looking forward to having a great night out to have fun, and the weather was even good for it. Thankfully, Mother Nature decided to be nice, and although the clouds started to roll in, we weren't blessed with any rain at all!!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBRds6X8jBI/AAAAAAAAA_k/wP3rc4ywW8w/s1600/kim+mitchell+wingfest+june+11+2010+341.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 272px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBRds6X8jBI/AAAAAAAAA_k/wP3rc4ywW8w/s320/kim+mitchell+wingfest+june+11+2010+341.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482109672582056978" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBRdusM5T_I/AAAAAAAAA_s/Xx_iAT0umHg/s1600/kim+mitchell+wingfest+june+11+2010+345.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBRdusM5T_I/AAAAAAAAA_s/Xx_iAT0umHg/s320/kim+mitchell+wingfest+june+11+2010+345.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482109703137349618" border="0" /></a>We headed down to the festival a little early and were able to catch a great new band from Toronto on stage.

I thought it might have been my sister asking me if I was there, but it was my good friend T!!!! She was telling me to have a great time and that I did! I even called her and told her to listen, but we had a bad connection...LOL. She probably thought I had too much to drink or that I really just had rocks in my head, but I am sure she still loves me anyways!!!! After all it was a WILD PARTY and I was in ROCKLAND WONDERLAND, with PATIO LANTERNS!!!! :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBRdDA8bfZI/AAAAAAAAA-0/TAEYTVuiLpw/s1600/kim+mitchell+wingfest+june+11+2010+044.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 209px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBRdDA8bfZI/AAAAAAAAA-0/TAEYTVuiLpw/s320/kim+mitchell+wingfest+june+11+2010+044.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482108952791186834" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBRdseCkB3I/AAAAAAAAA_c/gqVDW0A9tWQ/s1600/kim+mitchell+wingfest+june+11+2010+320.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 151px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBRdseCkB3I/AAAAAAAAA_c/gqVDW0A9tWQ/s320/kim+mitchell+wingfest+june+11+2010+320.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482109664976177010" border="0" /></a><br />Anyways, just wanted to share some of the photos from last night's concert! It was amazing and Kim NEVER disappoints! I was just so happy to have gotten out of the house and have such a fun time as this has been a pretty frazzling week for me, and well, I just needed to relax, unwind and just think about ME for a change! It felt GREAT!!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBRdG4tG4AI/AAAAAAAAA_M/zBwMErpTnRU/s1600/kim+mitchell+wingfest+june+11+2010+134.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 205px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBRdG4tG4AI/AAAAAAAAA_M/zBwMErpTnRU/s320/kim+mitchell+wingfest+june+11+2010+134.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482109019298914306" border="0" /></a>Sassettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14824172349291391653noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28862271.post-9104212278626503582010-06-11T10:51:00.006-04:002010-06-11T11:18:31.231-04:00Scraptures June RevealWell another month has begun and we have a new kit in store at Scraptures. This month the kit is Crate Paper-Brook. The texture of this paper is wonderful and the colours are so bright and cheerful and really have a great summer feel to them. Nice to see this geared to adults and not just the fun filled kid themes that are out there. I loved all of the product that was sent in this kit, and it really helped the creating process flow.<br /><br />I created several projects using this kit and it was just amazing to see how much you could get done with one kit! I love it!This layout was so much fun! I loved cutting the wavy paper, which helped to resemble the breeze of the day. Although it was a hot day in Fort Erie, there was a warm breeze. I loved being able to cut this paper up and layer in an unusual way to add dimension to my page. Adding the chipboard piece and pop dotting the phrase also helped to bring even more dimension to my layout. I love to work in layers, with lots of detail to dimension.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJOfYSqNnI/AAAAAAAAA9c/3-tZKz640aY/s1600/summertime.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 286px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJOfYSqNnI/AAAAAAAAA9c/3-tZKz640aY/s320/summertime.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481529997466941042" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJOfy7m-uI/AAAAAAAAA9s/2mACvSK2Vv8/s1600/summertime+detail2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJOfy7m-uI/AAAAAAAAA9s/2mACvSK2Vv8/s320/summertime+detail2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481530004618017506" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJOftdJ_-I/AAAAAAAAA9k/GQpkh1ilpzY/s1600/summertime+detail.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJOftdJ_-I/AAAAAAAAA9k/GQpkh1ilpzY/s320/summertime+detail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481530003148111842" border="0" /></a><br />My second project is another page using lots of layering and dimension. I used the yellow scallop card stock and cut out circles to add to make a more flowing background to the layout. The yellow was just too much, and although it really did compliment everything nicely, I just needed less of the yellow showing. Chipboard pieces, pop dots and ink also help to bring in that added dimension that I was looking for here.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJQKe7SNzI/AAAAAAAAA90/ar43e10Mk7c/s1600/happy+place.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 278px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJQKe7SNzI/AAAAAAAAA90/ar43e10Mk7c/s320/happy+place.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481531837493950258" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJQLWo0y3I/AAAAAAAAA-M/rygQ877moYI/s1600/happy+place+detail3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJQLWo0y3I/AAAAAAAAA-M/rygQ877moYI/s320/happy+place+detail3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481531852448910194" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJQK9Um9hI/AAAAAAAAA-E/BmlislNpvV4/s1600/happy+place+detail2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJQK9Um9hI/AAAAAAAAA-E/BmlislNpvV4/s320/happy+place+detail2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481531845653231122" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJQKvtMooI/AAAAAAAAA98/KQP14dOVg9c/s1600/happy+place+detail.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJQKvtMooI/AAAAAAAAA98/KQP14dOVg9c/s320/happy+place+detail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481531841998267010" border="0" /></a><br />Now for my last layout I cut out lots of circles from the pattern paper so that I could do lots of layering and dimensional work here. I just love to be able to take a piece of paper and get lots and lots of mileage out of it. I also cut out the flowers from a secondary pattern paper and created 2 butterflies for my page, using a button and a brad for each of their bodies. I did add some wire for antennas that was not included in the kit. Of course, I pop dotted the butterflies, as well as several of the circles. I added buttons for even more dimension and to keep with the circle feel to this layout. The combination of circles, flower butterflies and the wavy paper sliced and diced, I really like the flow showed in this layout.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJSOl9mJzI/AAAAAAAAA-U/-O9u5rjWd1A/s1600/thinker.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 306px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJSOl9mJzI/AAAAAAAAA-U/-O9u5rjWd1A/s320/thinker.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481534107125425970" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJSPYbENnI/AAAAAAAAA-s/geygZEOr8M8/s1600/thinker+detail3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJSPYbENnI/AAAAAAAAA-s/geygZEOr8M8/s320/thinker+detail3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481534120670803570" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJSPLCouII/AAAAAAAAA-k/MdrLFsoMrYA/s1600/thinker+detail.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJSPLCouII/AAAAAAAAA-k/MdrLFsoMrYA/s320/thinker+detail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481534117078677634" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJSOzIV9ZI/AAAAAAAAA-c/c7fvz35ClVo/s1600/thinker+detail2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TBJSOzIV9ZI/AAAAAAAAA-c/c7fvz35ClVo/s320/thinker+detail2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481534110660162962" border="0" /></a>Sassettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14824172349291391653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28862271.post-14989126599339243222010-06-09T13:39:00.002-04:002010-06-09T13:52:39.104-04:00Blog Hop WINNERSWell the time has come to announce the winners of the <a href="http://scrapturesblog.blogspot.com/">Scraptures</a> First Ever Inspirational Blog Hop.

The show was fantastic and the dinosaurs so realistic! These gigantic creatures were made to life size and moved around the arena as if they were alive. To experience this amazing show was one that I am glad I didn't miss.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0CMyrregI/AAAAAAAAA78/HBeyXzjFSec/s1600/plant+life.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0CMyrregI/AAAAAAAAA78/HBeyXzjFSec/s320/plant+life.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480038740366424578" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0CNSGR73I/AAAAAAAAA8E/bKvgM7EluPU/s1600/stegoasarus.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0CNSGR73I/AAAAAAAAA8E/bKvgM7EluPU/s320/stegoasarus.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480038748799496050" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0B8NYOpOI/AAAAAAAAA7U/B_Hs1HEkhLg/s1600/brachisaurus.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0B8NYOpOI/AAAAAAAAA7U/B_Hs1HEkhLg/s320/brachisaurus.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480038455474824418" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0B7_GN8zI/AAAAAAAAA7M/UI5I-W_Xc_c/s1600/baby.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0B7_GN8zI/AAAAAAAAA7M/UI5I-W_Xc_c/s320/baby.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480038451641185074" border="0" /></a>What can I say about the show? To begin with I must admit that I wasn't entirely sure what it was going to be all about. There was one man on the arena floor who was the narrator, telling us the story of the dinosaurs through the eyes of a Paleontologist. He walks around the arena, amongst the dinosaurs as he tells their story.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0CgjH0beI/AAAAAAAAA8s/BVBectBUc1g/s1600/triceratops3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0CgjH0beI/AAAAAAAAA8s/BVBectBUc1g/s320/triceratops3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480039079786868194" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0CgeAFbMI/AAAAAAAAA8c/wooifg7Iwgs/s1600/triceratops2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0CgeAFbMI/AAAAAAAAA8c/wooifg7Iwgs/s320/triceratops2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480039078412250306" border="0" /></a>The narrative is very educational and yet not boring at all. There are lots of great pieces of information that take you through all 3 ages of dinosaurs, being that of Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. As the story is told, you learn more about different species of dinosaur and what it would have been like for it to walk the earth. You learn about their size, what they ate and who their enemies were.Although I studied dinosaurs as a child, I was still very fascinated with the show. It really brought to light what life on earth before man would have been like. To see these creatures roaming the floor, brought a realization that we are lucky they do not still exist. They certainly are a fascinating creature, and to have managed to survive through the different changes the earth had taken, simply is amazing.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0CMMlkv8I/AAAAAAAAA7k/I6QGbdPdAps/s1600/dino+flowers.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0CMMlkv8I/AAAAAAAAA7k/I6QGbdPdAps/s320/dino+flowers.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480038730140270530" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0CfwOWNuI/AAAAAAAAA8U/ehwjxZkntKg/s1600/triceratops.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_olEOQN-2ncI/TA0CfwOWNuI/AAAAAAAAA8U/ehwjxZkntKg/s320/triceratops.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480039066124039906" border="0" /></a><br /><br />If you ever get the chance to see this show, I would recommend it.
