Good evening......

Hello to everyone on this olympic hockey quarter final night, I thought I would blog post tonight since Hank is at a fire dept meeting and the kids are in bed and the house is quiet (for a while anyway). I started watching the hockey game was was glad to see Team Canada winning. The ankle is slowly on the mend - it turns out I did tear 2 of the 3 ligaments on the outside of the right ankle and after 4 weeks of being stuck at home I am able to drive - well only to physio and the doctor's appointments. I can't work at the scrapbook store yet, but I am hoping maybe next week if the physiotherapist says ok. I haven't done anything creative lately other than a few cards and 8 party invitations for Landen's 6th birthday party. I did get a couple of new cricut carts and I am anxious to play with them and post my results. I got dino tracks, tinkerbell and friends (not a new one but new to me) and the Mother's Day solution carts. I am very excited about the Mother's Day one - it looks so pretty. Tonight I am going to post a LO that I did that was for a monthly contest at the store that I didn't finish on time and forgot to put up. The paper stumped me and I didn't know what pictures to use. But after long last I decided on a couple with the kids on our last camping trip. Enjoy!P.S - We won against Russia 7-3, plus we won gold and silver in women's bobsled. What a night for Canada!!

GO CANADA GO!!

10 things about me

I did a LO a while back for a staff challege at the store, I thought I would share it today since I seem to have lost some scrappin' mojo since this cast got on my foot.

6. I wanted to be a vet
7. I am a twilightaholic
8. I love Almond Roca candy

10. I fall more in love with my husband everyday.

Still stuck on the couch.

Well folks, here I am posting from my living room on my laptop. Still in the air cast and still on the couch. I can't even scrapbook cause I can't elevate my leg under my table. So I have been doing a lot of blog surfing and facebook has become my best friend. Sad I know but what can I really do...a whole lot of resting. But on a brighter note as soon as I can start scrapbooking again, I am full of ideas. So I think I should have everyone email me a pic of something they have been working on and I will post them as a temporary design team for my blog until I am able to be creative again.
Email me at hfolvik@yahoo.com and I will post what you send whether it is a LO or a card, send me your creations. Inspire me for when I am able to be creative again.

Thanks everyone and I look forward to your emails.

I have angered Karma....I think

Well as you may have read in my last post, 2010 didn't start out great for me. I had gout in my left ankle and was stuck on the couch for a week, I spent the next week playing catch up and things were starting to get back into routine. I shouldn't have thought that because as a family we went to Lake Louise on the 23rd and we walked from the truck to the lake and I slipped and fell and hurt my right ankle. Off to the Banff hospital we went and found out that there is unknown damage to the ankle because of the extensive swelling. So now I am in an air cast, back on the couch and crutches again. The worst part of this is that my family has to pick up the slack again, Reiley is being so helpful and DH Hank is making meals and well Landen is really trying to be good (I can't expect more than that.) The doctor is hoping that there isn't tendon damage and when he mention the word "surgery" I am hoping that as well. I hate being stuck at home, can't drive, can't walk and can't really get comfortable enough to scrapbook. I am hoping to try and scrapbook this weekend since Hank is gone again to another Fire fighting course and the kids and I will be hanging out with no place to go....(anyone feel sorry for me yet??)

Have a great weekend everyone.

Wow it is 2010 and half way through January already!

I can't believe that is it January 21st already, where did this month go?? It has been a crazy month so far, I was laid up with gout for the first week, spend the second week trying to play catch up and here we are almost at the end of the third week and I have nothing to show for it. I haven't done a lot of scrapbooking since boxing day when I whipped of a record of 22 LO's in one day, friends were having twin girls and I wanted to get the album done before they arrived. I did do one page yesterday but I wanted to share something else with you guys today.
Tuesday I took the kids and went to Strathmore for the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay that went through town. It has been 22 years since the Olympics were in Canada and I wanted the kids to experience it. I took some pictures as a momento to this once (or twice ) in a lifetime event. I cannot wait to scrapbook these pictures. I am having some issues trying to upload the pictures so I will try again later.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and I have made it a new year's promise to post more often.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

I just wanted to drop a line and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I am sitting here waiting for the firefighters in town to bring Santa around the homes. The kids are very excited and have gone from counting down the days to counting down the hours..."When is Santa coming?" and "be good or Santa won't come." are all you hear in our house. I am also gearing up for a full day of cooking and baking tomorrow. I shouldn't linger on line too long as there is still things to do, so I will again wish my 13 followers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Tags. tags and more tags

I have been very busy this week and haven't had a moment to rest, so that is why the tags have not been posted. Well here they are! I haven't had a chance to make more than what I am posting - I am hoping to make more on Tuesday as my Monday is booked solid. Ohhhh the Christmas holidays....when do the kids go back to school??
