a scare last night

December 4/07
Last night while we were visiting My Grandma, I ate some of the nut mixture in a container and had an immediate allergic reaction(my throat swelled up and started to close, my tongue was completely swollen, my lips were covered in big bumps, and I couldnt swallow, so we rushed to the hospital, where I was given 2 needles, and very soon my reaction disappeared. So I now have to go the the doctor and start carrying an epi-pen with me at all times, and from there go see an allergist to find the exact extent of my allergy.
This was a really scary experience, and in the first 29 years od my life, I had NO allergies.

another tradition

well, for the 3rd year, we took a drive to Cd tree farm(past St Pierre) to search for a perfect tree. Well, we didnt quite find it this year..lo. We found a nice full tree, but it just wasnt as tall as we like.
Si enjoyed watching while Daddy cut it down. We went for the traditional sleigh ride, and then went inside to warm up over hot chocolate and peanuts.

traditions

Don't you just love traditions that have been carried on since you were a child?
I love these chocolate advent calendars. I remember having one every year during my childhood, and now that I am a mom, I get to pass this on to my son. I love seeing his excitement every morning when he checks to see which shrek chocolate he gets to eat.

Tag swap

There were several of us Rhubarb Roots "groupies" who participated in a Christmas tag swap.
I made 10 of these, and mailed them on saturday.

2 small toots

I received 2 emails from Memory makers magazine yesterday, and 2 of my layouts"a sad departure" and "timeless" made it into their gallery as a featured project.
I really hope one of these days, some of my work will actually start making it into magazines..I guess I just need to keep creating & submitting like a mad woman..hee hee

mini album complete

November 27/07
Last night, I finally finished my mini album that i created about the crop for kids event that I attended last month.
This book took me awhile to make(mainly because I couldnt get motivated with it, but now I love it)
I made this album out of transparencies(from my local office supply store) torn napkins, paint, mod podge and a sewing machine.
