A New Home For Mittens


I am sitting here counting down the minutes until the sobbing begins. The minutes
of quiet I have until that dreaded time when I have to tell Bailey that I found a home for one of the kittens. She is gonna FREAK. I'll say "but honey, you knew that this was going to happen" and "she's with some very nice people". None of that is going to make any difference.....I am the horrible woman who gave away her kitten and she loooooved her and she was my favorite and Mommy why do you not love me anymore. OMG! I have to go buy her a Webkin RIGHT NOW! Anyway, she was a cute cat and I hope she likes her new home. The couple that took her are really young so I bet she'll be their new baby. Good luck to you Mittens...I'll miss ya!

Happy*Friday

I was pretty productive this week.

I really got a lot of work done.

Most of it is top secret WORLDWIN PAPERS stuff. Sorry, no peeking!

I did, however, do this cute little layout.

Of course some of the stuff in the journaling is OLD NEWS. lol

Look Up...Look Way Up!





I thought I would share some photos from our little trip to the CN Tower. I have been there several times but this was Bailey's first. She was excited. Now, for anyone who is not familiar...the CN Tower is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. That's about 45 minutes from where I live. It is the World's Tallest Building and Free-Standing Structure (we Canadians are very proud of that!).









It"s height is 1815'5". There are two "pods" that you can visit...(the elevator is awesome) the Sky Pod, at a height of 147 stories, and down from that at 114 stories...the Look Out Level. But the ultimate at 113 stories (not for the faint of heart) is the Glass Floor Level! Sooooo Cool!!!!!! Seriously, even I got a little unsettled at first. It was difficult get a good photo, all I had was my cell phone camera and I didn't want to take up too much time on the floor.














This was not added until 1994 so this is the first time I've had this experience. It was really neat!



On a clear day, you can see the USA, but there aren't very many clear days in Toronto anymore and this was no exception. You can, however, see all of the city and everything looks so small! Bailey liked that the people look like ants and the cars look just like toys.









This is Sky Dome. Ya...I know it's called the Rogers Center now...but to most of us it will always be SKY DOME!!!! C'mon it's a dome and it opens to the sky...make sense. Besides, there was a contest along time ago to name the damn thing and this was the name chosen by the people of Canada. Anyway, it's a fun place to see a game or concert. Too bad the top was closed this day.

Well, it was a fun day and Bay got to learn some Canadian History. Oh and I forgot to mention that Mike used to do some work for one of the architects responsible for this amazing piece of work. I think that's kind of cool.

hello, my name is *angela* and i'm an inkaholic...


I've discovered that I loooove tattoos.

I mean, I've always liked them...

but now that I have one...

I loooove them.

I love how it looks.

I love how other people look at it.

I even love how it felt being done.

Kinda weird...I know.

Did it hurt?

Well mostly no, but it had it's moments.

What surprises me is how much it doesn't hurt today!

When a nurse pokes you with a needle

it's usually a bit sore the next day.

It stands to reason that if someone pokes you with

a needle like a million (exaggeration) times that it would

hurt more. It doesn't. Cool.

I am now planning my next piece.

No...I do not have a problem!


P.S.

This is the shop I went to.
Todd at the Bowmanville location was my artist.
Thanks Todd!

Saying Goodbye



Mikes Grandma passed away on Aug. 29 at the age of 101. She died in her own home, peacefully, in her own bed. Just like she always wanted to. She was a good lady. Bailey will miss her Great Ma.
