I hope you are all ready and prepared for some serious R & R and lots of scrapbooking!!

i have printed out your free Optional Contest sheet and also a fabulous coupon sheet to provide you with lots of fun savings at the event!

you will find these in your welcome bags upon registration...

don't forget that there is also going to be a voted Favorite Layout Contest as well which will be a

charitable donation contest!

you may enter as many layouts as you'd like over the weekend, and feel free to bring some of your fav's from home too ( the layout does NOT have to be created at the event! )

you pay $1 per entry and 100% of proceeds from this contest will be donated to

Breast Cancer Care Manitoba!!!

( all donations over $10 will receive a tax receipt from Cancer Care Manitoba )

...hopefully i will have time to post once more when the last order arrives to give you one last sneek peek....i am guessing that the DUMP of SNOW we were so happily blessed with yesterday has delayed the delivery!

...and on one last note...

i thought I'd share what color my poor leg is today after my paintball 'festivities' from saturday...

hahahaha....the other 'hits' aren't quite as bad and my hand is much better already! this one is compliments of Logan...

the day after....

PAINTBALL.

yesterday afternoon i went with Mike, Dave and a bunch of other friends to

paintball paradise to shoot off an automatic paintball weapon charged with CO2, 200 rounds of paintballs that shoot 250 feet per second, roll around in a dim lit filthy paint oozing man stinking 'search and destroy' room with nothing but coveralls and a face mask for protection....

what the hell was i thinking?

hahaha....

all in all it was something fun to try, and the adrenaline rush was awesome.

trust me, i say adrenaline because you are doing everything in your power to stay hidden behind those barrels and bunkers because you do NOT want to get shot!

it hurts pretty darn good ESPECIALLY when you somehow manage to get shot

THREE TIMES in the freakin' hands!

how does that happen??? in the hands?

those ones really hurt and actually drew some blood...the one i took in the knuckle was probably the worst...it felt like someone slammed a car door on it!

anyhow, i will proudly show off a FEW of my battle scars that I'm sure will be really nice shades of purple and blue just in time for my Gimli Getaway weekend coming up in 5 DAYS!!

these really hurt and are super sore and tender today...

but will i ever play again???

only if i bring some kind of gloves next time!!

( my poor knuckle bone is gone it's so swollen!!! )

( this was my last hit of the day...right inside the calf muscle...dang! it's already going purple!! )

...and this one on the outside of the leg is soooo swollen today...i know, what a suck!

...and thanks to dave not stopping shooting after i yell "HIT" when he got me in the hand, he still takes another shoot at my baby back ribs!!! hahahaha!

I'LL GET YOU BACK MALINOWSKI....

...yep, good times!!

i don't want to show you ALL my hits, but these ones were the worse ones...it will be interesting to see what colors i turn over the next few days!!!

hahahaha....

...friday night was my pot luck crop with 7 fun gals and lots of great food!!

i actually got two layouts done myself that night which doesn't happen very often at classes at home, trust me!

my good friend Lori ( a mom from dance ) had given me a card last weekend and i instantly LOVED the design on the front of it....darn, i shoulda taken a picture of it...oh well.

it had these flowers on it that the flower parts were cut out of fabrics and the stems were sticted onto the paper....well, I really wanted to try it on a layout since i love to stitch so much lately...here's what I made....of course, I just HAD TO do a layout using the new

Bazzill Swiss Dot cardstock to use as a sample for Gimli!!!

~ giggle ~

...and this one was something i wanted to try using lots of photos in various sizes from one event...i love the painted and glazed chipboard title ( i used Glossy Accents ) and how it turned out!!!

...well, I am off to get some 'welcome bag' stuffing done for Gimli, finish cutting some class supplies and then later this afternoon,

Miss Courtney and I will be watching

TWILIGHT again.....

and how's you're weekend going???

:O)

( sorry tara...i thought i took a picture of the other one too...-ooops! )

Last night's class featured using

BUBBLE WRAP

on your layouts!!!

here's my samples I did:

LAYOUT 1:

-painting bubble wrap

LAYOUT 2:
-using bleach on bubble wrap...
i love this one....i also painted Heidi Swapp clear ghost letters in my title and stapled them onto the cardstock...so fun!

..and of course some hand stitching and buttons on the bottom...
by the end of the night, i don't think a few of the ladies ( ahem, Mary and Tracy ..hahhha ) wanted to stitch, but I made them ( at Nerf gunpoint - HA ) and I think they were quite happy that they did do the stitching afterall...
it just adds a total artistic feel to a layout...i love stitching!!

..the third layout we used BINGO DABBERS on bubble wrap to embellish!
FUN!!!!

...and i will leave you with a couple more pic's of my handsome little man from sunday afternoon's photoshoot at the tea!!!
( hee hee hee...the others are in the above layout already!! )

2:48A.M

...and I'm wide awake.

what the ???

i have so much on my mind that it's keeping me up so i may as well blog and be ahead of my

'to do' list tomorrow....

SSSOOOOOOOO....

saturday night....linda and i took courtney, rachel and carson to go see

TWILIGHT

in the movie theatre before it gets kicked out...

yes, we had already bought the movie, but i wanted our first time seeing the

hot topic movie on big screen!!

O-M-G!

is it wrong for me to love edward????

hahahahaha......

we loved the movie and we were all surprised at how 'family friendly' it was...being vampires and all...it was really REALLY more of a 'cool love story'.

I loved it!

( the girls are obsessed now! )

...friday night we ended up staying in and rented 'City of Ember' - more for courtney because her classroom just finished reading the book...it was pretty different too!

AND TODAY

was courtney's dance schools

Scottish Tea at the Holiday Inn...

this is a small light little afternoon tea for the girls to be presented with their awards from their dance exams from February and also do a little performance...i really wish i knew how to upload VIDEO off my camera because i'd be able to show you the cool choreography dance her group did today...they just learned it yesterday for the tea!!

...little absorbant sponges those highland dancers...
