Sunday, Sunday

I wanna know.......where did the weekend go? Boohoo! Its off to work bright and early tommorrow!! I did get back into cleaning my scrap room again. I'm trying to organize by colour. Its a lot more work than I thought, but I hope it allows me to use my stash better!
Just spent some money over at Art Freckles tonight! I'm super excited about the new kit coming up and added to my copic collection as well! Good Stuff!

Today Hubby & I went to the DIA to see the Fakes, Forgeries & Mystery Exhibit...... I was not impressed. First no one told us we needed to purchase additional tickets to get in! We paid our $8 each to get in, and then found the exhibit, and were told we needed tickets! Another $16.00 later and we were in. It was not as interesting as I thought it would be. All I can say is that they hired a very good marketing firm. It got us there! I did see some Picasso's and some of Andy Warhol's art while we were there. So I can strike that off my bucket list. Picasso's self portrait was interesting....to me, he looked like Ricky:)

Technique Tuesday

I've been googling a lot lately. I thought I'd start a new thing called "Technique Tuesday" to share some of the cool things I've found out there in the world wide web:) I'm hoping to inspire myself to actually scrapbook, and possible inspire you too:) On a Plus side, it will at least get me to blog more, and thats a goal I have set for myself this year:)

Here is what I found. Its called Black Magic Stamping.... with a twist. I think its pretty cool:

Family Day & Helena's Birthday!

Can you believe its Family day? Time Flew so fast this weekend! Its the first weekend in eons that M & I are home together for 3 days straight! Its been sooo nice! So today we went and celebrated Family Day by going to the movies. We were suppose to go to the DIA, to see the Fakes, Forgeries & Mysteries exhibit, but who knew the museum would be closed on a Monday? Not Us! I'm glad hubby checked before we went:) So we went and saw "Unknown" . It was very good. Keeps you guessing, that's for sure!



So on the way home Hubby and I had a serious discussion about starting our own family. All I can say is that its good stuff, and I'm sooo glad we talked:)

And I wanted to take a moment to wish my BFF a very happy birthday!!! You go Girl! Love ya!!

Till next time!

Over & Out!

Dad Wins Molson Masters Bowling Tournament in Windsor:)

Dad's Article in the Windsor Star

Dad is the one in the picture, but skip down to about halfway to get to Dad's part!

I'm so proud of Him. He's very passionate about his bowling, and he's worked so hard for this. We heard all last week how excited his was to qualify for the tournament, and how nervous he was to be on TV. He was so worried his was going to "choke", and in the end he exceeded his expectations. You Go Daddio! This is so my Dad:

In the senior men's final, Essex's Richard McCloskey fired a sizzling 237 to comfortably win his first Molson's title.

The 63-year-old McCloskey beat his old friend Sid Scott, who tossed a solid 215.
"I told him before we even started the day that I wanted to face him in the final," McCloskey said.
"I wanted to win, but if I wasn't going to win, I'd be happy losing to a good friend.
"He taught me a lot about how to bowl."
The turning point in the match came midway through the contest when Scott got stung with a dreaded seven-10 split.
With McCloskey heating up with a string of strikes, he was able to exploit the open frame to seize control of the match.
"I just had to control my nerves," McCloskey said.
"I was nervous all week. I've never been on TV before."
McCloskey said if he could control his nerves, he was in fine form the past week.
On Wednesday at Ruthven's Empire Lanes, he'd rolled a 300 game. McCloskey had also tossed two 700-plus series this week.
"I'm really proud to win this," McCloskey said.
"Every bowler here is very good. Every bowler here I felt was actually better than I was.
"I was fortunate to come out on top and I'm feeling pretty good having never been in this position before."

So Dad is going to donate part of his winning to the Junior Bowlers that are going to BC from Ruthven. What a guy! That's a total Dad thing to do:) xoxo

What a Smile!

 

Holy Trophy!

I wonder what he's thinking right now:)
