Wait?? What? Fireworks?? Yikes! I think there's a little Sackett in her!<br />

This is a neat concept for a mini album, in my opinion, it's basically a cover with an accordian album set inside, but it's attached at the middle of the accordian fold, so it opens in both directions.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This is a picture of the inside of the cover, which also opens to the left and right. The above picture is with the right side closed and below, with both inside covers open.<br />

If you'd like to make a mini album like this, I made it following Katherine McElvain's guide <a href="http://bellablvd.typepad.com/bella_blvd/2012/11/mini-album.html" target="_blank">here.</a></div>

They gave me the City Sidewalks collection from Pink Paislee, which was full of great little, old-fashioned die-cuts and pretty, Christmas-y colours.<br />
<br />
I used it to make a wall-hanging that combines some IKEA frames, a door knob, some glitter and flowers and burlap, and some great wooden plaques that my brother made me.<br />
<br />

The best part is that I made it so I can change it up for each season. I'll leave the 'so blessed' plaque, because we really are blessed, but the other three pieces will be changed up as I see fit (or possibly as I get around to it). <br />

The little plaque with the hanger can be changed to hang something else. I'll just clip something new on with the cute alligator clips.<br />

The large frame in the middle can be changed just by slipping in a new 12 x 12 sheet of paper, with a new saying and some decorations.<br />
<br />
And the picture can be replaced to match.<br />

Keeping this in mind, I went neutral with the frame and the decorations that would be remaining.<br />
<br />
I'm happy with how it turned out.

Shovelling snow. She's a big help. </div>
<div>
Usually, she pushes it off the driveway, but occasionally, she goes on a rampage and starts throwing snow back on. Between her 'help' and Bailey ploughing through the snowbanks, knocking snow everywhere, it usually takes me a little longer than planned.</div>

Gracie loves playing in the snow. She does a belly flop into a snowbank and giggles like crazy, spitting out mouthfuls of snow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She likes to play with Bailey, too. She wades out into a snowbank and then calls for help and he comes pouncing through to her, kicking up snow everywhere. He bumps her with his nose, and then pounces back, while she kills herself laughing.</div>

Here's a video of her having a snowball fight with Bailey. She hasn't quite got the concept, and Bailey was totally preoccupied at the time, but she thought it was hilarious and I like that it wears them both out!</div>

It was very fun! She liked giving out candy so much, that I couldn't get her to stay in bed. When trick or treaters came to the door, she kept hopping up and running out to see their costumes. And I let her have one fun size box of smarties all day. That was it! </div>

I just discovered this new software that you can download for free for your Cricut, and it makes it much more user friendly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

It's a free download for Mac or PC, and it allows you to weld images or letters together (no more painstakingly picking off one letter at a time...), plus, you can type anything you want cut out on your computer's keyboard, instead of picking your way through the Cricut keypad. </div>

Brad took Gracie swimming and skating this morning, so I've got the whole morning to myself!! It's been so long, I don't know what to do first... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Clean the house, scrapbook, do some laundry, watch some tv, read a book... so many choices. For now, I'll get some computer work done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a few layouts I've done this last month. I'm going for quick layouts that use up some pictures I all ready have printed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a layout using My Mind's Eye papers. I love their new collections. Very cute and versatile. These pictures are more from our trip to Ottawa last fall. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These pictures are also from Ottawa, but they use mostly American Crafts paper. I love this fall, pumpkin orange. I've been trying to stick to layouts using one colour, but different tones and shades of it. Here's my attempt at orange, ranging into beige, yellow and brown, with a hint of blue. </div>

Here's another layout I did for Treasured Memories, last month:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQfWkVlRE99GrzhjFg-dQVusopOJcz2VTuxfSXHEQQr6PagxBHn7_cXy9J4AT7E-dEDzkvwRLHRZMEinQN-5mnP_-t6JwPqo7h_p3b6Q1nJA6DJsKM1NByLqgEHrXmKQGMamn3/s1600/delicious.154.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQfWkVlRE99GrzhjFg-dQVusopOJcz2VTuxfSXHEQQr6PagxBHn7_cXy9J4AT7E-dEDzkvwRLHRZMEinQN-5mnP_-t6JwPqo7h_p3b6Q1nJA6DJsKM1NByLqgEHrXmKQGMamn3/s320/delicious.154.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is more of the 7 Dot Studios' Domestic Goddess line, and here's my own little domestic goddess!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really like the distressed, grungy look of these papers and stickers. Very fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To give you a quick idea of why I placed things, as I have on this layout, I'll do a rundown of my process. See if you can follow my brain...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I layered lots of stickers, alphas, pictures, and small pieces of paper and clustered them in groupings of three. I like to do things in odd numbers, it's supposed to be pleasing to the eye, and I always think it is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you look closely, you can see three different groupings of three. I'll work out from the pictures to try and point them out to you: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1.The pictures are set in rows of three, and when put together with the title, there are 3 groupings (title block, first row of pictures, second row of pictures). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. The number groupings 1, 2, and 3 make up my second grouping. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Lastly, the groupings on the outside of the background paper make up the third grouping. The Domestic Goddess cluster, the banner cluster, and the Kupon cluster.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for looking. </div>

We love to play dress-up in this house. Gracie has a little trunk of costumes and she gets all dolled up and then puts on performances for us. We have to sit on the stairs to watch them, she needs music and a costume (and usually a magic wand and crown), and when she closes her eyes and bows, you must enthusiastically applaud and yell "Bravo!" These are the rules.</div>

She also likes to keep her dress-up clothes on for doctor's appointments, trips to the store, dog walks, and random daily events. Here she is colouring at our table:</div>

The lovely folks at <a href="http://treasuredmemories.typepad.com/">Treasured Memories</a> gave me these great papers, stickers and alphas from <a href="http://7dotsstudio.com/en/">7 Dot Studio</a>'s Domestic Goddess line to work with this month, and I love them. The paper I used for the background on this layout is my favourite. It looks like lace and is a great combination of browns, wheat yellow, and pink. Very nice. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I scrapped a few pictures from our trip, these ones taken in Barcelona. It's nice to get some of them done! Four down, 600 to go....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made the large flower out of some mistables ribbon tape from <a href="http://www.pinkpaislee.com/pink-paislee-blog/">Pink Paislee</a>, which was also in my kit. I used both the small and large sizes of the tape, misted, inked and then folded and wrapped them into a little circle, making the flowers. I layered them, added leaves (which were supposed to be feathers, but turned into leaves) and added a Prima pebble in the middle. I added some of my own alphas and inked a journaling block to finish things off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Inky, messy fun. </div>

There's a new place on the west side of Edmonton called the Toy Hutch that is pretty fun for kids. They have three big jumpy castles, lots of toys, a few jungle gyms, and lots of rambunctious kids. If you're looking for a way to tire your kids out, look no further. </div>

Here's a quick update. First, my mom is a published photographer!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Check out her photo of Gracie about 2 years ago, playing in the leaves (top right). She took this picture and sent it to Our Canada magazine and they published it. Plus, it's more than half a page big!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Congrats to her!!</div>

Also, we're at week 31 of our pregnancy! Is it just me, or did it take forever to get to the last quarter of this pregnancy? </div>

Luckily, this kiddo is being pretty easy on me. Besides the amazing amount of moving she does, I'm feeling good. She pushes, rather than kicks so far. Her little bum comes shoving right out the side of my abdomen, I swear. </div>

We had a little birthday celebration with Gracie's friends last weekend and it was really fun. Gracie was a little overwhelmed, by the end, and may have cried all of her guests out the door, but she is still talking about all of her friends and the gifts, and the balloons... </div>

Sorry folks, blogger is not letting me upload photos very easily, so I've been fighting with it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a layout I made quick based on a sketch from Scrapbook and Cards Today's blog. I tried to look for it to link it up, but it was so long ago, it's been lost. Oh well, if you like it, use mine as a sketch for your own layout!</div>

I like the neat things you can do with instagram. This picture was taken with my phone. I edited it with instagram and made a neat sepia picture with a fun, distressed border. I used the original and the altered version of the same picture on this layout.<br />

Happy memories, all of them. It was a great trip and we had so much fun spending time together. </div>

It's been a month of posts, wordy, boring, long posts about places you may or may not be interested in. Just a few more.... A few pictures. Hardly any words...<br />
<br />
For those of you, who didn't see the pictures on facebook, I thought I'd just post a quick highlight reel of our favourite pictures. This is it. I promise... until I start making layouts about it, then you may see more (Sorry).<br />

You can't really tell, but I punched out some little pieces of my picture to make these heart shapes (on either side of the circle). I punched out Gracie's little hands, because I trimmed them out of the photos, but I couldn't put them in the trash, because they were so cute and pudgy and adorable....</div>

Need a break from blocks of text about travel? Here's a bit of colour to lighten the eye strain.<br />
<br />
I did up a few quick layouts for Treasured Memories, right before we left on our trip, and never got to share them.<br />
<br />
I used My Mind's Eye product and I'm always impressed with this company. Great coordinating products, fresh looks and a multitude of lines. They're continually coming out with something new.<br />
<br />
This is a layout of some of our 3-D ultrasound pictures of Baby #2. Our First Glimpse.<br />

<br />
And... guess who's a fairy? I know, we're big on fairies right now in our house, but these pictures are actually old. I guess she's been liking the idea of fairies for awhile now. I love the woodgrain trend that seems to be everywhere right now. This patterned paper is a great shade of grey that makes it easy to pair with other colours, even browns.<br />

Plus, Treasured Memories posted a few pictures of a mini album I made for them a few months ago, in case you'd like to take a peak:<br />

<br />
We got home late Thursday night and have had two sleeps in our own beds (partial sleeps, but sleeps, none the less).<br />
We've had showers in our own bathroom, with all of our usual shampoos, lotions, creams, and luxuries that we've been missing.<br />
We've started laundry and have enjoyed wearing clothes that we haven't worn over and over for the past month.<br />
We went out for breakfast Friday morning, because we have no food in the house and then went to Costco and stockpiled.<br />
We bought The Hunger Games movie, watched it, and Brad has started the final book (He read the first two on the trip).<br />
Gracie ran around and greeted all of the toys she hasn't seen in so long, and a few birthday presents that she got right before we left, that she hardly remembered. Jackpot!<br />
<br />
It's nice to be home.<br />
<br />
Our last two days were mostly spent in airports, taxi-ing to airports, or packing to go to airports. They were still good, though.<br />
<br />
On Day 24, we flew from Marrakesh to Girona (just outside Barcelona) and then hopped on a bus to downtown Barcelona. Our apartment was right by the bus depot, so we walked to our room, put our feet up, got organized, and then headed to a patisserie for one last supper of homemade pizza and pastries :) We walked around a little bit and enjoyed our only cool day of the trip (probably only +25 C).<br />
<br />
On Day 25, we flew. Nine hours from Barcelona to Toronto, five hour layover, with a delay, and then four hours from Toronto to Edmonton. An hour and a half for luggage and parking, and driving home, and we were in bed by 11:30 (which felt like 7:30 am, the next morning). Ugh. Gracie slept a little on the plane, in my arms, and during the ride home, so she did great!<br />
<br />
Now, back to the routine. There's no slowing down. Brad's busy with work, and we've got a bunch of stuff to do before baby arrives, plus there's a birthday party for Gracie to plan, Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Christmas to prepare for, and a house and yard to fall clean. Joy!<br />

The best word I can think of to describe it is cacophony. There's so many sounds, and smells, and people, and sights, it's overwhelming.<br />
<br />
We're staying in a Riad, which is like a guesthouse/hotel in the middle of the medina. You are winding through the Souks, which are full of people, chatter, motorbikes, kids playing soccer, donkeys pulling carts, and hundreds of other sights and sounds... and then you turn a corner into an alley and the noise level drops to a minimum, and you open the door to your Riad, and it's a calm oasis with a spa-like environment and all you hear are birds creeping through the courtyard. It's phenomenal to experience.<br />
<br />
We visited the Saadien Tombs, where nobility are buried, and the intricate detailing on the walls and doors is amazing.<br />
We saw the Badii Palace, Kasbah and Kouroubian Mosques, and wandered around some of the medina walls, the souks, and some fantastic gardens.<br />
