Spring is here!

I haven't been here since the end of February when it was cold and snowy outside.... What happened since then:





- SPRING IS HERE!! And I am enjoying this perfect weather: not too cold and not too hot and most importantly, it's sunny today!





- I am still working part-time... And scrapping whenever I can... I even started working on my cruise pictures. Here is my first cruise layout:



- We haven't been anywhere (not since our cruise in February!) except Buffalo for shopping and last week, we went for the first time to the Fallsview Casino (imagine that, after living here more than a year!), I don't gamble so I didn't even go inside the casino but I visited this beautiful hotel: http://www.fallsviewcasinoresort.com/Default.aspx and found a very cool gold purse (a big purse, I think small purses are useless!) at this amazing store where everything costs $15.00: http://www.bijouxterner.com/content/home.html.... I had been looking for a gold purse since I was in Florida. I will have to go back there.... We will have to try the chinese buffet... I like chinese food but I prefer buffets so I can try a bit of everything.

Well tonight it won't be chinese, here is our dinner menu: Breaded pork chops - green beans and fried potatoes.

My scrap room




As Vanessa posted some pics of her scrap room on her blog, I thought maybe I should do the same, I had to take some new pics of my room for a layout I have to finish for Michele's circle journal. When I have done the layout, I will post it here too.


What are my plans for today:


- This morning: catch up with my emails and this blog.


- This afternoon: Going to the bank - Going to Winners to pick up a "Southern Cooking" cookbook I saw there yesterday and have another look at their planners they have on sale and some scrapbooking stuff they sell now. If you live in the US and read my blog, Winners is the same store as TJ Maxx, same company, same type of store, just a different name in Canada and a bit more expensive but still great deals can be found there.


- And from 3 to 9:30 PM: I have to work so I will miss the results of American Idol....
