Check it Out!!


I have been checking out all the latest CHA goodies and there is one tool/machine that I have been drooling over!! I know I don't need one.... BUT.... I want one.

Have you checked out Tim Holtz news die cut machine with Sizzix?
The Vagabond


Check out the video on how it is used: Vagabond Video

I know I am not being sane wanting this because I already have the Sizzix Big Shot and it does almost the same things but without the motor. I just want to look at this sitting on the shelf in my scraproom. It is just so amazingly beautiful!


What do you think?? Leave a comment below to earn a ballot for my monthly draw and I will send a random winner an small RAK of Tim Holtz goodies. You have until the end of the month to leave your comment. You will also earn a ballot for my main prize draw as well!

Happy Canada Day!!



















We had such a fun filled Canada Day!!




Our little town puts on a great big celebration every year. The park right across from my old house is packed each year from people all over, celebrating Canada Day. There was music, games, crafts, heritage and museam activities, contests, food and lots of Canadian Spirit.












The local grocery store always makes this amazing Canadian Flag cake that gets driven down and passed out to all the people in the park. All the kids naturally flock to it when it arrives!






It wasn't the same this year without my friend Ally and Spencer.... we missed them.












Here are some pics that we took:












The three girls on the museum porch.....












Paige.... looking all sweet and innocent.... don't believe it!













Here is a picture of DD and a lovely flower that grows at the museum:













Little Paige took this picture of DD and I chilling on what was left of a huge, old maple tree that fell down during our last storm:













Finally.... this is the photo I took for the weScrap Photo Challenge for July 1st. Be sure to check out the contest every day during the month of July for some great photo challenges and prizes along the way too!!













Hope everyone had an amazing Canada Day holiday!
