June it is :)

Well we have entered the 6th month of 2011 ALREADY! whilst im pleased about this for many reasons I just cant help wondering where January to the end of May have gone?

Like my fellow bloggers, June seems to be popular, it signifies new growth and a sense of warmth and happiness to me, the summer blooms are starting to grow in my garden, there is that humid storm like presence in the air and people seem to have shook of the winter blues.

Its my hubby's birthday this saturday, we have a few things planned for the weekend. Then its fathers day in Canada and the UK and then at the end of june its my brother-in-laws birthday. June also means its 4 weeks till our family arrives for vacation and i cant wait.

Till then my life remains hectic, exhausting, but fun at the same time.

OHHHH YEAH and its the time for the Canucks to bring home the Stanley Cup !!!

Had to say no

Felt guilty for saying no to OT this evening, but i was having such a nice time in the garden with family that going to work at 19.15-23.15 just wasnt too appealing, despite the fact that doing some OT would have been handy. Im grateful to "R" who did go in today 'hugs' to you for that.

Doggy play time

Today was doggy play day, after returning from the vintage car show the dogs insisted on playing ball !! Molly was interested in her pink pig, she just loves that thing.

Here is Velvet with her ball's she just loves to play throw and catch.

Then it was time to have a short rest, she does love the red futon in the mancave, its the perfect background for posing

And here is Molly checking out the model of the hummer...wondering what its doing on the deck in her sleeping spot . It didnt take them both long with the heat of the sun to come inside and fall asleep.

Sunny Sunday Yeahhhhhhh :)

What a cram packed day this lovely Sunday was. We decided a week ago that we would go to the vintage car show at the Abbotsford Automall at Mt. Lehman. The sun was shining and there were alot of vintage car owners, sitting proudly by their vehicles and ohhhh there were some beauties, here are a few of my favs...

My favorite was the hummer, the art work on the inside was amazing, and the sub woofer made all your body shake. Of course the hubby wants one now !

From there the plan was to go buy some hanging baskets but i forgot the nursery was closed sundays so on the way home we stopped at the flea market - it was a complete waste of time, junk, junk and more junk.

But a wonderful morning was had by all .

Scrapbooked a page

Its been a while since i have made use of my new office/scrapbooking room, i just dont seem to be able to find the time, patience nor the inspiration these days. I promised myself an hour today no matter what, so after arranging my shelving with my Beauticontrol gift baskets...... which i think look pretty dont you?

I found my inspiration for this scrapbooking page from my four legged furry friends, they love to pose for the camera, they bring such joy to my life and at times my chocolate Lab actually thinks she's 'the boss'. 

The rest of the day was hectic as usually with cleaning, laundry blah, blah, blah. We are going to see the vintage car show tomorrow in Abbotsford, an opportunity for the boys to drool over the cars and hopefully we should return with some good photos, just hope the weather is nice!
