I heart February

Hi February!

So glad you could join us. I sure wish you were a little more green and a little less white but we'll still keep you!

I have a feeling you are going to fly by pretty quickly. If you are cold I sure do hope you fly by quickly. Maybe fly by all the way down to a warm sunny beach and take me with you!

This is probably going to be a big long post about nothing and everything all at once!

In true February manner, I want to start by sending lots of hugs and big sloppy kisses to Rach. I'm thinking 'bout you girl and looking forward to seeing you soon. Hopefully you can send some hugs and kisses Rach's way too!

I have a feeling this is going to be a great month. You know why? I woke to a BIG SURPRISE this morning...one of my faves is flexing her creative muscles and has created a new webiste/new concept/new goodies!

Have you heard?

House of 3 was born today. YIKES! Heidi is back at it!!!

They even have a FREE DOWNLOAD for V-day...love coupons!

I have/had big plans for the day/weekend and here we are Sunday at 11 a.m. and I haven't even started yet...

I am going to make a photobook of our trip to Spain from last year. I just recently made one for my mom's birthday and she loves it. They are on sale until tomorrow so it's now or never! I always work best under pressure...

Denis and I made up for lost time on Friday night and saw not one, not two but THREE MOVIES!

The snow was falling and the roads were rough so it was a nice way to spend a Friday night.

We started with...

So I know what you are thinking...what exactly were we thinking? This movie has gotten quite possibly the worst reviews EVER but we loved it! We laughed so much. I had no idea it was filmed in Winnipeg but the tacky 70s wall sculpture at the Winnipeg Airport was pretty hard to miss! And...in one of the opening scenes there are four women sitting around a table scrapbooking. What's not to love??? It was a nice light comedy and I SWEAR I could feel the cold of a Manitoba winter right through the screen. There is no mistaking it.

From one extreme to the other...

Wow! Slumdog. Totally amazing, moving movie. Amazing. But SO hard to watch at the same time. Unbelieveably sad, violent and true. It gave me chills...

And finally...

I honestly didn't know what to expect from Revolutionary Road but who doesn't love Kate and Leonardo on screen. Once again, this film did not disappoint. It was in your face truth. If that makes any sense.

Saturday we spent the first half of the day running errands...

We had to start the day off at Starbucks with one of these...

I always have the Vanilla Rooibus Tazo Tea Latte.

Although what I really wanted to try was one of these...

Next we did a little browsing through Chapters where I found these...

(and no, i'm not making any announcements with the little stiches one - i'm thinking more for gifts and that sort of thing...)

I actually didn't end up purchasing them at Chapters, I ordred them online when I got home because they were SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper online. And...shipping was free! So there is your tidbit of the week...before buying anything at Chapters, check the online price.


I've decided I'm going to try my hand at sewing. I have a great sewing machine that I tend to only use to sew my pages or cards and it's time to take it up a notch...


Besides. I ordered all of these pretty things last week and although I would love to just put them on the ground and roll around in them nekked, I'm sure I can find a better use for them!

I scored these amazing fabrics (mostly Heather Bailey) on a fantastic Etsy store recommended by Steph. I was SO IMPRESSED with the service. The guy even found a cheaper shipping method and reimbursed some of my money. Wha? When does that happen???

I do have a little idea up my sleeve that I'm hoping to try in the next week or two. I'm going to keep it quiet until I have something to show though...

Next it was on to KISS FM to pick up the DVD that I won...Vicky Christina Barcelona.

How delish is JAVIER BARDEM??? He totally reminds me of Denny (or Denis) from Grey's. I'm generally not a big Woody Allen fan but I have to admit, I loved this movie. It's really hard to go wrong with a movie set in Barcelona though...Javier's name in the movie is Juan Antonio so I couldn't help but think of my good friend Juanan through it all...It made me really miss Barcelona and my friends. I think it's time to start a Barcelona fund...

Well, I'm copying some pictures over and the copy is nearly done so I best get started on my photo book.

I hope your February is filled with all things red and most importantly lots of love.
