Today Dee-Ann & I began crafting at 9am. Lots of projects! We took a break to try some self-portraits.

Project 365 10.23
It's finally here, my weekend in the mountains with my friend Dee-Ann. Even though we had some minor setbacks with my van breaking down, we made it here...in a loaner Nissan Versa, surprisingly we fit all our 'stuff' in this little car.
Dee & I have gone on many retreats over the years, but it's been an awful long time since our last one...so this trip was definitely in order! The retreat was held at this resort and put on by these two terrific women (Deb & Diana):

Project 365 10.22
Today was exactly that on my trip here in Calgary. I visited a few of my favorite stores and then headed to Southcentre Mall with my sis.
Here are a few of my favorite things I found:
This would look amazing our master bedroom!
Ran into our good friend & old babysitter Shelby (right) & her friend Sarah at Crave cupcakes. Thought it was a typical photo for seniors in highschool...on their cell phones.

In the City
Today I travelled to Calgary to spend a few days with my sister Amber before I head to the mountains this weekend for a retreat. Visiting with friends & family, shopping & relaxing are on the agenda for the next few days. I had such a rush when I turned the corner by our old neighborhood, gosh it felt good to be back!
It was a long day: left Oxbow at 6am, service engine light came on in the van around Swift Current, then when I got to the city my van started to stall out. Unsure what to do, I called my old Nissan dealership, luckily they fit me in as an emergency appointment, so hopefully we'll know what's wrong tomorrow. After that was dealt with, Amber gave me a fresh haircut & color. Then we took a drive downtown (that felt good, I really missed it) and I had fun photographing the nightlife.
The {bokeh} photo above is one of my faves from the night, I think I'll order it in a canvas print and hang it in our home to remind me of my citylife!

Elementary Open House
A question we have ALOT these days is, 'How is Ace liking Kindergarten?' He is truly loving it! The first month (like I was warned) is hard on the students & the family...getting used to the fact that school is now a part of our everyday life, or every second day, was an adjustment. About a month in, we settled into a routine and all is well. Above, Ace is with his teacher, Mrs. Wallace...such a special person in his life, she is the most patient person I have ever met.
Special Moment: Ace showing Nana his 'cubby'...the same location of my cubby when I went to Kindergarten 27 years ago!!!
