Family

Together time. Journalling reads...

These photos were taken in the fall of 2001 – I think. At least the pictures, when I came across them, were in with the rest of the 2001 photos and it looks like fall. I DO remember that this was our outing to get a family photo taken. The final photo now hangs in our front hall. We call ourselves the “Fong” family because the photographer put his signature on the bottom front corner of the photos. :) After our photo shoot, we went to the Park Town hotel for lunch. So it was a fun family outing and I am of course always happy anytime I have good photos of my kids.

The couple - as requested

Allison and Sam

love this shot from the lake last summer. Okay, okay this is not what you had in mind when you asked for pictures of the couple - but I love this shot.


Allison's Graduation last year. Sam is a basketball player.
Oh ...and a theology student and an apprentice electrician. Allison is in education at U of S.

My very first page!

Okay, okay, twist my arm. You want to see my first page I ever did? - the one about my broken rib and water skiing up at Waskesieu. Well turns out I already posted it - over a year ago when I did a challenge - so just click here and it will take you to that post.
I cheated a little on that page - I used a picture of me from 2001 (which is also on this layout, since I didn't actually have any pictures of me water skiing that day).
So are you confused??

Okay, stop laughing so hard and post your first page...again!

Beeeutiful!

Had fun with my macro lens a few weeks back. This little honey bee likes to hang out at my back door because there is a plethora of nectar for him there and man is he busy getting it all before somebeedy else comes along and discovers his treasure. He is definitely one busy bee. He was rarely still for 1/100th of a shutter speed second.

One of my favorite shots.

And this one too!

point guard

I have no idea what a point guard is but my daughter tells me that is what she was in grade 12. I am thankful - she could have been a whole lot of other things, but she was top student, involved in drama, sports and everything else and she was a "point guard". She is playing a beautiful piece on the piano for her fiance as I type here. Brag, brag, brag! (I am blogging this Sat nite with a time stamp for Wednesday morning ~ so no, my daughter does not play the piano on weekday mornings - nor is her fiance here at that time. - confused?)

There is new MOXIE paper in at the store and it is all great, but the sports stuff is sooo classy!
So I treated myself - not only to the new paper, but to a photo from 2006. YUP! This is NOT a page from 2001 and what fun it was to scrapbook a 5X7 instead of a dark, tealy 4x6 from 2001. Yes, life is good. Time for another holiday so I can be diverted from the old photos. :)

The basketball is from some very cool paper by The Paper Company which even feels like a basketball (like I would know! I don't know what a point guard is or does). A good ole Sticko and some Thickers letter and 'thar she goes'!

You have to come into the store and see this Moxie stuff and stock up.....before the new Basic Grey arrives. hehehehehe

Giving Thanks

Are ya gettin' a little tired of Creative Cafe? I have lost count of the # of pages I have done with this line - but it is really working well with my summer/fall pictures from 2001. There seems to be a lot of teal and burgundy in these photos -not sure if it was the old camera I was using or just coincidence - the result is that Creative Cafe colors work beautifully.
Add all those embellishments that coordinate and well... I have got a lot of pages done in a short period of time.

All Creative Cafe except for the new mesh and some Prima leaves from the stash.

Carpe Diem!

Forestry Farm Fun

Sunday July 14/01 - after a time of fellowship with all the Saints from Saskatoon and Leask, a Pot Providence BBQ and some music, the guys had a competitive game of "tag" football and the girls took a relaxing walk through the Meditation Gardens. The mothers cleaned up and sat down!

This is layout #46 for the 2001 album - getting there. I figure another week and I can start sorting through all the 2002 pictures.

Happy Birthday Dad

Got to love Thickers letters, and Creative Imaginations rub-ons. Paper is from Dream Street. Sticker letters are Making Memories.
Page number 45 in the 2001 album. Not the greatest birthday pics - but I'm still liking this fun page.

Just Listening

This is page number 43 for the year 2001 album - I didn't think there were that many photos - but I was wrong I guess! sigh - I still have a stack of photos about an inch think to get done before I call this album complete.

Simple picture - two guys on the swings at the beach...but they are special guys. I used the new mesh that just came into JSI - great stuff in several colours and very easy to use.

Harold and Blair are two of the most unpretentious, shy, quiet, definitely 'not in your face' kind of people. You won't hear much from either of them, although I am sure they have much to say because they are observers of the world. They watch, say little, think - there is a humbleness about them. I wonder what they are thinking when confronted by those who feel the need to just talk.
So, it was kind of nice to catch this picture of the two of them on the swings talking. Two shy, quiet listeners... talking (listening) to each other.
