Winter Scrapbooking

Here are the latest and greatest of my personalized scrapbooking pages. The more I scrapbook, the harder it is to come up with creative layouts, but I liked these ones in the end. I've also decided that I'm going to be much more committed to my scrapbooking this year. I've even signed up to join some ladies every other month and do some pages. That's at least 5 double pages that I'll get done! Scrapbooking is really my only creative outlet, so I don't want to give it up any time soon. I may switch over to the digital scrapbooks one day, but for now I enjoy the old fashioned version. It's a good way to capture life's little moments (or big moments!).

This page is from my best friend's visit to GP. Tried to capture some of the great outdoors moments :)

This is a page of my man-friend and I having fun outside in the winter :) Skating scrapbook pages will follow eventually...

Top 5 from BFF Visit

For those of you who don't know... my BFF visited me in GP this winter!!! She was here about a month ago, and this post is now LONG overdue, but better late than never!!

It was so great having her here. We got to do a lot of chatting and catching up, although I probably still speak to her once a week in Ontario anyway :) That's the great thing about having a BFF like mine. We stay in contact so easily and so naturally that when we do see each other in person, it doesn't feel like the last time I saw her was 6 months ago. It's great. We did some walking around and exploring and shopping. Couldn't go TOO far cause it was winter here, but we still had lots of fun. We baked, ate nuts & bolts (pretty much a whole batch between the two of us!), and laughed so hard we cried. It's so great to know that now she will have a picture in her mind of all the people I talk about, and that she'll have an actual reference for all my stories. I know that there are a lot of other, probably more exciting, things that she could have spent her money on other than a flight to GP, but I'm super happy she came. Easiest guest ever.

I couldn't shoe all the pics so I just picked 5 of my favourites:

Obviously we had to see the giant beaver :)

Here's a pic we took at Muskoseepi park while we were walking.

Pretty typical picture of us. We needed some pics that really looked like winter for her to take home with her. Evergreen trees are wintery, right?!?

My BFF taking her first quad-trip with my man-friend. Two of my favourite people in one picture! Pretty sure she was laugh-screaming (that's a real thing, I'm a speech path...) the whole time.

SNOW ANGELS!! I actually love this pic. Acting like a child is something that comes naturally to me I think... lol.

Thanks for reading. AND thank you SOOO much to my Bestie for the visit :) It meant a lot to me!
