August Blog Challenge
Hello all!!!
Sorry it has been soooooooooo long since my last update. I finished my adventures across the ocean and have since returned home and been busy busy busy!
This post is inspired from a blog challnge from Skrap 'n Chat (www.skrapnchat.com). Lisa is hosting a monthly challenge. I'm a little late on this, but I figure better late then never!
I've had lots of firsts in my life but I'm going to talk about a recent one. My first REAL job.
When I returned home to NB I was looking to start my Full Time Career as a Pharmacy Technician. I had heard that a local pharmacy was hiring and I took my resume in not thinking much about it. Then shortly after I received a call for an interview and was lucky enough to be hired with in a week! It was so exciting, I was starting a newish adventure. I have worked in a Pharmacy for years but this was at a new store, new co-workers and bosses.
I love being there Full time, earning money, working towards getting health benefits and all those perks. It may not seem exciting to others, but to me it's the next step towards my husband and I getting a place, saving money for our future and as a bonus I love the job!

Lil adventure
I have not been able to get any Layouts done over the past week and a half. I did one tonight for Scrapbuilders at APOS but will keep it to myself until the reveal happens. I got some cards done and mailed off but sadly did not take any photos. Last weekend we had gorgeous weather here, for Thursday, Friday, Sat, and Sunday. So while I was off for Saturday Cyril and I headed to Durham which is about a 15 min train ride away from here. We visited the Durham Cathedral which was really big and pretty. We walked the streets grabbed some lunch/supper at a pub called Varsity. Then grabbed some dessert from an ice cream truck we passed. 
Theses are some of the pics we took while on our adventure. Work has been very busy, lots of ice cream going out the doors with the warm weather.

I'm off til Saturday so I had a mishmash day and got some stuff done, then I'm volunteering for the next 2 days, which will be my last.
Cyril and I leave a week from today to go to London to visit with friends before we go to Greece. So before we leave I have to pack and also start "the big packing" of stuff I'm not using any more. Scary to think I'll be home in 4 weeks!!!
Have a great week!!

Sorry I've been slacking....
Since I've last posted lots has happened. I've done a bunch of scrapbooking which I will share, we went to see Jeff Dunham in Sheffield, we've had a sad event in my family and right now I have company!! :D
These first 2 pages I completed for the Scrapbuilders Challenge for the month of April at APOS. The pages are for 2 different teams and are a bit similar.
Page number 3 was done for a similar challenge at SI for the month of April.
Cheryl at APOS is on the Design Team and gave us the challenge in April to make our own gift tags. I made a total of 6 in the month. Here are photos of 2 of the ones I made. These were fun to do and I hope to make some more in the future!
This final page I did the beginning of May for a May Challenge at SNC. The challenge was "Spring Cleaning", to do a challenge that you have not completed from another month or crop. Good way to play catch up. I like the way this LO turned out. I had a lot of fun making the flower and plan to make more this month.
The middle of last month (April 20th) we made our way to Sheffield to see Jeff Dunham. We spent the afternoon exploring the city and even took a ride on their huge "tourist Ferris Wheel" to get a view of the city and hear about some of the attractions. That evening we attended the show and laughed the whole night! I have some photos but they are on Cyril's computer so sadly I can't post them yet. Following that fun adventure near the end of the week we had Cyril's Birthday lunch with our friends at Lau's 202 Chinese Buffet. We had a great time with them all.
His Birthday weekend continued when Saturday morning we headed out Big Ball bowling before 1pm (because it's cheap bowling before 1). I was HORRIBLE at it, although my score did improve after each string. On Sunday we spent the day together and Cyril got his few gifts from me and we had our fancy cupcakes from Fenwick's.
May 1st was National Scrapbook Day so I spent the day online doing some challenges and scrapping my little heart out. Late that night I got a call from my parents telling me that my Grandmother had passed away suddenly that night. It was really hard for me as I was not able to go home due to the expenses and also, my sis and cousin were due to arrive in England the following Friday. It was very hard not be home with my family during this tough time but I also was glad I got to see some of my family shortly after. My family also was great and chatted with me every day on Skype to keep me up to date. My Best Friend also was great to me and even transferred the VHS copy of the service on to DVD so my sis could bring it to me to watch while I'm here. Love you all!! THANKS! xoxo
My sis and cousin have been here since the 7th and we've had lots of fun. We've gone bowling, they've shopped while I've worked. Us 3 girls went to Dublin for 3 days and 4 nights. We had a relaxing day today and are going to watch a movie shortly. Will be sad to see them go but am sure they have enjoyed their experience here! Well that's been my life for the last lil while! Hope all is well with you and I'll try my best to keep it up to date again!
