The Life of Mrs Magoo

A little bit of a hiatus...

Because I have disappeared a bit from blogland for awhile now, here are some photos of my life right now and what I have been doing. Figuring things out but I will be back with a real blog post both here and my Cupcake blog. Hope life is treating you well.

This is a good one...

We had our Chinese New Year celebration at school yesterday and this was my fortune. I hope it's a good month, I need it. Have a good weekend!

The escalator vs the stairs

I am also one of those people that takes the escalator rather than the stairs. Although I do prefer tkaing the stairs rather than the elevator. I cannot stand the elevator.  I also love Volkswagen. And as a recent VW car buyer I thought this video was very cool, and if we had stairs in Canada like this I would be switching too.  I found this via Apartment Therapy. Enjoy!

 

happy friday!!

How has your week been? Mine has been good. It's my last week of Summer Break. I go back to set up the class next week, but I think it's only one day or two. I will probably find out this weekend.

I have been out and about enjoying time with family and friends. And in my garden, being creative and doing some work too. Speaking of work, I have some really exciting news that I hope to share soon. It's amazing!!

What do you have planned for the weekend? I have some time with my nieces, a massage, and hopefully some time to be creative. And hubby time. Have to enjoy all the free time I have left 'cause come September it'll be back to normal. ugh. Kind of.

Have a good weekend!! And I leave you with a photo from my garden!! Yum, my crop!!

happy hump day!!

Sorry, I have been meaning to post but the past week has been really busy, with a huge order we had to fill for the two crafty chicks so, even on the weekend I was "working" no time for nothing. But I hope to be back tomorrow or later tonight with another post!! We're half way to the weekend, YAY!! Have a good one!!

taking it all in...

I am happy to say that I am off until next year (doesn't that sound fabulous). I have an amazing two weeks off. Thank you so much for all the kind comments about two crafty chicks. I know I said it last time but it meant so much the comments and support. We're doing well, orders coming in and prepping for the new catalog coming out.

Lots of stuff I want to do with my two weeks off. Lots of creating, hanging out, baking and cooking, reading, organizing, relaxing... but, first I need to get all my Christmas stuff organized. Still have only a couple of gifts let but, I need to brave the mall for that and I won't be going until maybe tomorrow or Tuesday and early too to avoid the herds.

So, I better get myself moving. I woke up at 12:30pm today. Haven' done that in awhile. Much needed sleep and sore now from going to the gym yesterday with my little sister. She worked me hard.

Happy Sunday!! Be back soon :)

This is lovely...

I'm sitting here drinking my coffee and eating a little slice of panettone and browsing some blogs. I am always looking for some new music to add to my playlist and I discover this one. Love the song and the video. Enjoy!! Hope your having a good thursday so far!!

What a week!!

I am so happy that it is Friday!! It's been a busy week with lots of stuff going on. I am teaching a Christmas Tag and gift wrapping ideas class tomorrow. And then later on in the evening I have a Christmas Card class. So, I have been busy cutting and organizing paper and supplies all week.

Have been enjoying my Blogging for Scrapbooker's. I will have to play catch up this weekend. And I also signed up for a Handmade DIY Christmas being taught by KA and Wilna. I am super excited about it, looks like there will be lots of cool things to make and it's all stuff that you have at home. So, it's affordable. The class is not expensive either, check it out here. Let me know if you sign up.

So, I know I am a little late with the Halloween photos but I will leave you some photos of our cutie nieces in their Halloween costumes!!

Here's Niamh (Neve)

And Naomi...

Told you they were cuties!! Be back soon, with hopefully more photos and scrappy pages!! Have a good weekend!!

Happy November

Really? How can that be possible? I still remember when it was summer and being off, and enjoying the sun and hanging out with family and friends. Time goes by way too quick.

My weekend was good, busy but good. I tell you two days off is never enough. Halloween was good. We had our Halloween Party on Friday at school and I dressed as a flapper from the 20's. It was fun and I got to wear my fave wig too. I still need to upload the photos which I will do soon and I have some from the cutie pie nieces too. I will share.

We also dog sat, Caesar is always so much fun got a couple of photos of him too. He loves to lounge around when he comes over to visit. Whether it be on the couch or on the bed. some funny shot were taken of him doing just that.

Did anybody else sign up for Shimelle's Blogging for Scrapbooker's class? I signed up yesterday and am excited about it. It started today, still have some reading to do for it and have to add the blinkie to my blog as well. But it'll be a good class, her classes always are, I think. I have been wanting to blog more but sometimes I find it hard too. Whether it be 'cause there's not enough time in a day to do it or I have nothing to blog about so, I'm excited about the class. Should be good.

Hope you all had a good weekend, I'll be back with some photos!!

A little fun...

This morning I ventured out to one of my fave stores and noticed that they already had Halloween costumes out. Well I came home with a "flapper" hair wig. I had a little photo shoot and I have to say I did have quite a bit of fun. I just can't stop laughing at myself!!

 

 

 

 

 

Don't I look fabulous with short hair?! I think I will have to go back and pick up another wig for $7.99 not a bad price I think!! Maybe blonde this time!! But I will have another photo shoot for sure and maybe include some outfits this time!!
