Yes I will be 35 years old......lots of pressure and expectations right now but I won't bother talking about it...I just want to chill and be happy and not think about what other people want.... I have decided that I will be making my gifts this year...there are plenty of oh so lovely diy websites that have inspired me to make handmade with love goodies =] The problem is, there is too many ideas all over the place...need to get organized that's for sure....I've been trying to make a list...I need to go one project at a time... In the mean time, I will be posting more in my pages, check it out.... Last friday we went to Bier market for a friend's bday and for a GBC reunion...I had a great time with the hubby and friends...I feel really happy and blessed with all the special peeps in my life...woah...I really am all over the place and very cheesy right now....lol..that's my cue to go...here are some snapshots of the fun we had =] Toodles for now, Carezza

Zombie walk, halloween, boston, cape cod, and now a photo shoot that my husband and I worked on for wonderful friends =] It will be another crazy week but I am hoping to do the CN tower edge walk this week!

Please be safe out there....

Even though, TJ and I went out in the storm, we only stayed out for 10 mins or so...I just found out that a woman in Toronto was killed from flying debris =[

cold and stormy day!

Hi peeps, Happy Manic Monday! Work was nutzo and I still have work that I brought home with me =[ Wah! Sooooooo lazy! All I want to do right now is snuggle in bed and watch some movies....Peeps at work were a buzz about Hurricane Sandy..in Toronto we haven't had the worst of it yet but it's like everyone was getting ready for armageddon! It's rainy,windy, and oh so cold...the hubby and I needed to go outside to move our car and it seemed like we were the only crazy ones outside! Although I did see a couple walking their 2 dogs! Because of the wind it almost seems pointless using an umbrella unless you got a really good umbrella and strong hands to hold it down.TJ and I used our ponchos lol and I wore a winter jacket and I was still cold. Before the chaos, I took some photos of the tree facing our Juliette windows...I wonder how it will look tomorrow...we shall see...in the mean time here are some photos of the calm before the storm and TJ and I out in the storm lol Hope everyone is safe and keeping warm, Carezza

lol ok one more!

Hi lovelies, Sorry for another post...lol because I've discovered "pages", I just went a little crazy and created some pages....Although there is really nothing in the pages yet, I'm quite excited about it lol I think this will help me organize my posts! Super like! =] ok that's it for now! Take care and have a great week, Carezza

Before I go to do some work (fingers crossed that I don't sway towards procrastination!) I wanted to post some of the cards I've been working on. My little sister and I will be having a Pop up Shop of handmade and preloved goodies at her loft for some early christmas shopping in November...will keep you posted on the planning and how the event went =] Stay tuned, in the mean time, check out some of the cards =] Night night, Carezza =]

Happy Sunday Peeps =] It's been a gloomy and rainy kind of weekend...I felt soooooo lazy and procrastinated the days away lol...I thought I would catch up on work but chose to do some arts and crafts and also spent some QT with the hubby...been thinking alot about christmas and what to do for gifts...this year I really want to make meaningful, functional and cute prezzies this year....I've been surfing the net looking for inspiration and have been going to: www.honestlywtf.com www.tumblr.com (#diy) www.lemonjitters.com www.creaturecomfortsblog.com these websites/blogs definitely get props from me...they are so CREATIVE and oh so INSPIRING! I've started my list of gift ideas and plan on sharing them for sure =] I've also been meaning to post about my experience as one of the climbers for the UNITED WAY CN tower climb...I went with some friends and had such an amazing time. The CN tower has 144 flights of stairs so it was one heck of a climb for someone who hasn't worked out in ages....will be leaving our photo souvenir :) no training but all heart! toodles for now =] Carezza

back to the grind....

Happy Tuesday Peeps! It's been a while again! Lately, I've been so exhausted...all of sunday was spent recuperating! I slept a lot...After I came home from bowling, I slept for hours..It's been 2 weeks already since Tj and I came back from our trip to Boston and Cape Cod and we are missing these place already...the next few posts will be some photos of Cape Cod taken by my Hello Kitty 35 mm fisheye lomo cam. I still haven't gotten around to organizing my photos from our trip. uugggghhh so much on my to do lists...I had lots of birthdays in September and October...will be posting the photos of some of the cards I made....time to sleep! lol it's 230 am...way past my bedtime.. Toodles for now, Carezza

T & C in Beantown....

TGIF lovelies!!! It's been a long whiles....It's been crazy busy...lol plus I was feeling lazy...all I wanted to do was catch up on my tv shows online...last week we were busy cleaning and packing for our one year anniversary trip to Boston.....It was Tj and I's first time to visit Boston...we had such an amazing and awesome time that we extended our trip an extra day and now we arrived in Cape Cod yesterday...the whole trip is very reminiscent of all the places we've been together =] I became a total shutterbug in Boston and Cape Cod....every shot was photo worthy to me...I will be posting photos after looking through the 1000s of photos I took...I used my I-phone 4, HK lomo, and my Nikon DS 80 with 18-55 mm lens.... until next time, Carezza

Montréal will always be home =]

Over the long weekend, we went to Montréal and stayed at my parents's home...I really miss my parents and wanted to spend some time with them...at the same time I was able to spend a lil time with fam and friends..here are some photos...All photos taken with my I-phone and Instagrammed =]

Whhhhaaattttttt?? Already? lol

Hi lovelies, It's been, once again a while! I haven't posted for September yet...the time just came and went by quickly....today I thought about 9/11 and prayed for the people who have lost loved ones and for the heroes who either risked or lost their lives trying to help and rescue people. I'm once again reminded how much I am blessed...although it's not perfect, I am thankful and appreciative of my life and the people in it =] Life has been quite busy but good...I have alot of posts to catch up on...one of the many reasons (or some might say excuses) for not posting is because I had technical difficulties...my macbook had zero capacity! I had to clean it up looking through thousands of photos and videos and saving it on CDs...I now have 2000 and something photos to look through still, yikes! Through the process I somehow managed to lose everything on my I-phone as I accidentally pressed restore =[ I have some stuff backed up on my mac but not everything...although it does suck, I am looking at the positive side...and that is the feeling of a clean slate lol =] look forward to some posts =] night night, Carezza

5 necklaces in 5 minutes =]

Here are the photos of the necklaces I made this morning =]

The 5th necklace is actually the necklace I wore in the photo in the last post =] Toodles for now, Carezza
