Yesterday you may have heard my country do a collective CHEER. I know we were jumping up and down as we watched Alexandre Bilodeau win our first ever Gold medal of the 2010 Olympic games. He also has the honor of winning the first Gold Medal for Canada on Canadian soil. It was thrilling.

His story is very inspirational as he speaks of the impact his brother has had on him personally and in his sport.

And yes this was my picture of the day.

So here I am 14 days into PL, I really do love it.  At the end of  my crazy day I am able to sneak off to my scraproom sit for a few minutes and reflect on my day, that is usually when I write on the journaling card.  Having 3 kids I need that quiet time (especially when two of them are teenage girls).

I did make post it love note boxes for friends and my son's teacher.  That was fun too.

This past week I gave my whole family a valentine's week! Everyday I left them little gifts and a post it not.  I was able to hid the gifts for them each to find.  Of course by Friday I was exhausted from being cupid all week! My 9 year old son was VERY appreciative, he would thank me everyday after he found his note and gift and tell me thank you and he loved me.  of course I was soo busy getting the items ready and worrying about where to put them where they would find them that I didn't take photos. Maybe next year. 

I made a resolution at the beginning of the year that at the end of each month I would print the photos from that month.  Before I would wait until there is a Scrap Night coming up to print photos.
So now I have all of my January photos in the box and on my list to scrapbook, of course I still have a few more 2009 pictures to scrap.

Off to look for some fun layouts to scrapbook.

Happy three day weekend!

I am so excited to be watching the Olympics. It is finally here. My heart is pumping and my eyes are brimming with tears.

I remember the Calgary Olympics in 1988. Elizabeth Manley was my hero. I can still cry when I see replays of her Silver Medal.

Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games are going to be FABULOUS. Look at that light show 'wave'

WOW what a show! Love the snowboarder and the Maple Leaf. Way to go Vancouver.

Here is a photo of just a bit of my Canadian pride.

 

What do you do for "Me Time"? Do you carve out time for yourself monthly, weekly, even daily?

I think it is important that we share in our scrapbooks about the things we do to reward ourselves and relax.

For me, one of the things I like to do is read. I always have a book (or two or three) on the go. It may be fiction or non-fiction; romance or suspense; modern day or historical; a biography or self-help. I am up for just about anything except horror and all out smut.

I am currently reading a light hearted book that has me giggling out loud. Got to LOVE that!

First - A HUGE 

THANK YOU!!

to all of you for your patience as we go through the learning curve of importing and shipping worldwide.

Just a quick note that Bulgaria, Norway and Switzerland have been added to the shipping locations available.

If you have questions about the shipping charges, please see my earlier post here -  http://www.scrapbookersinnercircle.com/magazine/read/shipping-charges-for-project-life---explained_172.html

Wow, already a flurry of activity over at the Scrapbook Coach's Store. Very excited that those outside the U.S. will be able to receive the Project Life kit.

So a few comments.

I have received a few messages saying that the shipping prices seem high.

Well the short answer is yes they are, that is part of the reason Becky chose not to ship from the U.S.

However, we have done our best to find reliable shipping methods that will get your kit to you as soon as possible after it arrives at our warehouse.

In Canada we will be using

Day 37

I am proud of all of you for sticking with it. You would be amazed how many people can't stick with something longer than 21 days and you have made it 37 days! YAY us!  

We all start with great intentions and what we think is a lot of ideas for the Pictures of the Day (POTD). However there will be days when you forget, aren't inspired or don't know what to talk about, because the day was like every other. Trust me, if you haven't experienced that yet, it's coming.

So how do we get through those moments?
