A cloudy dull day here in Kingston, Ontario. But the sun is starting to peak out a bit. And it's been a slow and quiet day at work too! Can I have a nap now?

As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I receive a monthly magazine called Stampin' Success. It holds lots of project ideas, samples and information. And this month was a bonus! Because of the Color Renovation they included a single sheet of the new 5 colours: Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso and Cajun Craze! And wow, they look better in person. Tonight will be the time to create some new colour schemes and compare these new colours with the others that will be sticking around. Would you like to get sneak peek items and be able to take advantage of preordering before the catalogue goes live? Then you should become a Demonstrator today!

2005 was a really wet year in Manitoba and was our first spring on the farm. I wanted the pictures to speak for themselves, but I see that I missed writing in a few tidbits. It is really important when you are scrapbooking to add some titles and journal. There are quite a few pages in my 2005 scrapbook that are in much need of some explanation for future generations when I am not here to elaborate!
