Sharing some info! May 2008

Hello all

Hope this finds you doing well and enjoying the sunshine when possible.

Thought I would share a few items that I have been using.

My most recent is www.artscow.com they do prints and photo books. They are offering a bunch of freebies right not so that is why I tried them out. The only catch if you will is that you pay Shipping & Handling(mine was about $8.00 for 100 4x6 prints). And they come from Hong Kong but, they did come very quickly! If you are thinking of trying them out can I refer you? Let me know!

I have also given props in the past to www.moo.com but would further like to mention it as if you create a pro flickr (www.flickr.com) account to share your photos(public or private) you get a moo credit.

In addition I have noted photobooks and right now www.mypublisher is offer their monthly buy one get one free. And I did receive an email from BLURB for $10.00 off(email me if you would like the promo code).

I hope this is helpful and would love to hear of any discoveries that you have made!

Bike Ride on the Dyke May 22,2008





So today we ventured out for a leisurely bike ride on the Dyke. It was perfect weather. Sam had his own space and Browynne ran beside us! A perfect day for all! I do have to admit it has been a few years since mounting my bicycle and we are still on the get to know you plan(my bum is a wee bit sore)!
By the end of the ride the dog was well behind us and Sam was announcing that he would like to get out! We couldn't have picked a better day!

Playdate with Jill & Cassandra May 16,2008

Sam & I met up with Jill and Cassandra for a playdate at the park. It was perfect weather and the playground was not over crowded. Jill and I stood in the middle and navigated both of the children running in different directions. A lovely time was had especially nearing the end of our visit as the grounds keeper came and fired up the water park features. Sam went bombing in once given the approval.

Hope you all have a wonderful long weekend.

Thanks Jill & Cassandra can't wait to do it again!

Brady's 4th Birthday Celabrations @ The Zoo May 10,2008

Saturday was for celebrating Brady's 4th Birthday @ The Vancouver Zoo in Aldergrove. A wonderful time was had by all the kids ran around and shouted out the animals names and made the appropriate sounds. A train ride was scheduled and all he kids had a blast. I can speak for Sam and he LOVED it! Darren now wants a train instead of a ride on lawn mower!

Thanks again and Happy Birthday Brady!

Still here....May 7,2008

Yes I am still here. Sorry about the delay. Nothing exciting to report. But here I am. Well like many of you we have been in our yard gardening, cutting the lawn and overall maintenance. Today we ventured out to a farm in Chilliwack that was going out of business and selling off the remainder of his cedar hedges. We dug up 20 cedars to bring back home. And they were a steal! When we returned home we headed outside to fight the weed demons and plant a few plants. Now we need to build planters for these cedars. Never a dull moment here.
