Team T - 2010
Pictures from the Weekend to End Women's Cancers... it's the first time I've done it since 2006. I walked every step... didn't get into the sweeper van (even though I wanted to), didn't get any blisters (I'm sure I would have some if I decided to walk on day two), and ended up raising just under $1600 (even though I couldn't bring myself to send out an email asking for donations, family and friends totally stepped up). Maya even walked a little when we met up for lunch.
It's two days later, and I'm not sore anymore... so now I can honestly say that I'll be walking once again next year. Did I mention that we walk for 32kms in one day... ugh!
with Team T. and my beloved Moorehead family.

All nighter 2010
It was probably 2 years ago since my last all nighter... and again it was for a great cause and because of great people who have inspired, taught and loved me and have loved.
The night was highlighted the food and snacks along with some great entertainment at the 4:00am mark that included a wonderful rendition of Leaving on a Jet Plane, a very competitive round of hula hooping and then a great display of enthusiasm shown in dance to Twist and Shout!
my little logo for our little team. i printed them up too... using the iron-on stuff and i love them!
Maya stayed up too! with lots of help from Hannah.

I like to MAKE CARDS & INVITATIONS
- Inspired by my own children's imaginations, I came up with a way to match their colourful ideas and my love of birthday parties. Creating personalized invitations and birthday themes, we always end up with some great memories and happy children!
I like to PAINT
- I like to pick up a brush, dab it in paint and paint on anything in site from a clean canvas, an old canvas, watercolour paper, scrap wood, walls, closet doors, clothing, etc. Think I've passed the trait down to my kids.
I like to MAKE THINGS
- Sometimes I find things that I love when I am out shopping and other times I have a picture in my head and that's all I'm going to settle for. Most of the time I can make it and it turns out exactly what I picture in my head. It's definitely a trait that I inherited from my parents and I think I've passed it down to my kids
I like to throw CHILDREN's PARTIES
- I love birthday parties. I love to see the kids play and have fun with their friends. Our house ends up being a big mess before, during and after the event but the kids have a great time and it's all worth it.
I love Family
- Found these old family pictures and it just brings back memories... most of the time my sister and I had a ball... sometimes we fought like crazy... but we did have fun. Take a peek and you will see.
