It has been a pretty busy week so it just flew by! <br /><br />I would like to dedicate this week to Orcas. Yes, Orcas lol. My sister and I are clearly building a house right next to one another, we work together and we spend a lot of our free time together. Someone told me this week that female family member orcas usually spend their whole lives within 10 meters of each other. So I guess in a way we are like Orcas! ;) <br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/16/693.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/16/s_693.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='280' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Apparently I need to learn how to wear a heard hat-I'd say mines a little high. <br /><br />As for the property-this week we had to make some decisions on the back yard. We need a rock retaining wall so we had to decide the layout of it. It isn't finished yet but so far, this is what we've got! <br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/16/694.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/16/s_694.jpg' border='0' width='280' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/16/695.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/16/s_695.jpg' border='0' width='280' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />This week they are pouring the concrete for the floor of the garage/basement. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/16/696.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/16/s_696.jpg' border='0' width='280' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/16/697.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/16/s_697.jpg' border='0' width='280' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Until next week! <br /><br />-Posted by Jess<br />Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18065094265455118438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424602702772541610.post-76189499553835278832014-11-11T08:53:00.001-08:002014-11-11T08:53:31.387-08:00Week ThreeToday is Remembrance Day. I get to join my Grandpa, Grandma and brother in law Nathaniel and honour them and their fellow military service men and women who have served throughout history. <br /><br />There has been a little progress on the house this week. The concrete is poured for the forms and the house has a but of a shape to it now. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/11/268.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/11/s_268.jpg' border='0' width='280' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/11/269.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/11/s_269.jpg' border='0' width='280' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />The picture above is the garage.<br /><br />I was surprised at how big the footprint looked but I think once we get three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a family room, etc into that space it won't feel so big. But hey...I'm not complaining! <br /><br />I had a chance to stand up in the back yard on Sunday. I was worried that it was going to turn out small. Part of the reason I was drawn to this property was because I wanted a decent sized yard. Once I got up there, I was really happy with the size. They still have to put in a stacked rock wall so we will see! The picture below should be pretty close to what our view from our living room will be. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/11/270.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/11/s_270.jpg' border='0' width='270' height='280' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />On Sunday my father in law Don, my husband Ian and myself installed the perimeter drain. Don has done this lots at work. We worked for over 7 hours-digging, carrying pipe, glueing, sawing and hauling rocks. I of course stopped to take some pictures and had some visitors stop by. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/11/271.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/11/s_271.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='280' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /> <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/11/272.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/11/s_272.jpg' border='0' width='280' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/11/273.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/11/s_273.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='280' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/11/274.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/11/s_274.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='280' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />It was hard work-we have sore muscles and blisters and I'm pretty sure I got sick from the tar fumes but we had a great time on Sunday. We created some great memories and it was pretty neat to be involved. <br /><br />Apparently they are pouring foundation next week so I'll be back then with an update. <br /><br />Posted by Jess<br />Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18065094265455118438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424602702772541610.post-12131449477402975792014-10-24T18:14:00.001-07:002014-11-02T10:39:25.766-08:00Week 2Welcome to week two of 'The House of Cameron' build. Well...it's more like week 13. But we will go with week two because it took that long for us to see any action. <br /><br />The first 12 weeks consisted of getting an engineer sign off, applying for permits, a lot of waiting, getting an arborist out to come up with a 'landscaping plan' (one of the city's requirements), and then some more waiting. During this whole time we were gathering as many quotes as possible, arranging financing and insurance, creating a budget and signing our builders agreement with Mahoe Properties. Mark Marley, one if the owners of Mahoe is a friend and will be our general contractor. <br /><br />Luckily we have quite a few friends and family in the trades which really helps. My father in-law was able to arrange the excavation. It was pretty special having him be a part of it all. And my friend Ryan from Mijo Construction is doing our framing.<br /><br />Last week Ian and I loaded a power pole, yes a power pole, and a generator in his truck and drove it out to our lot. It was as you would expect, heavy! Let's just say I spent the whole truck ride staring at the pole, holding my breath, praying for a strap not to break and the pole to go flying.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/10/24/723.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/10/24/s_723.jpg' border='0' width='209' height='280' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />This week they have completed the 'footings'. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/02/678.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/02/s_678.jpg' border='0' width='280' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/02/679.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/02/s_679.jpg' border='0' width='280' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Now that there is a bit of a structure up, I am beginning to be able to visualize what room goes where. These photos are taken from what would be our back yard. <br /><br />We spent a few hours at Rona and End of the Roll yesterday looking for tile and flooring options. I love the price of laminate but really want to stick to natural products. The first of many dilemmas I am sure. <br /><br />I mentioned last week that we designed our house and the layout ourselves. I will be honest and say that this was not an easy process for us. My sister over at <a target="_blank" href="http://paintingtheroseswhite.blogspot.ca/?m=1">Painting The Roses White</a> had no troubles at all. She had created her home before Ian and I had even drawn our garage. Before the opportunity to build came along, we thought we were going to buy a house (and possibly renovate). During our house hunting I came across one house that I fell in love with. It was over priced and by the time they lowered their price we had missed it. But it was one of those houses that I couldn't stop thinking about. So...I basically copied the floor plan right from that house. So unoriginal, I know! We made the alterations to it and voila, house plans done!...Well, not so fast- we worked with David from Mesa Designs and he created the plans for us from our chicken scratch drawings.<br /><br />Here is the drawing of our house from the front. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/11/02/680.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/11/02/s_680.jpg' border='0' width='280' height='217' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />I will try and post once a week. If I don't-it's only because I'm busy building a house ;)<br /><br />-Posted by Jess<br />Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18065094265455118438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424602702772541610.post-38348402955792341922014-10-24T13:25:00.001-07:002014-11-02T13:00:37.216-08:00Hi...anybody?Hi!

That is when the most amazing person I have ever met became my boyfriend. I have honestly never met someone who is so loving, thoughtful, caring and kind. You are my love, my support, my cheerleader, my comedian and my best friend. Thank you for allowing me to discover a level of love that I never knew existed. I am so excited to see what exciting things the future has in store for us.

I was sick last week so I did a lot of lying in bed watching the Tudors. I love that show, the costumes are unbelievable and Johnathan Rhys Meyers isn't hard to watch either ;)<br /><br />On another note, I am one of those 9-5 workers...well actually 7:30-4. Waking up at 6:30am and choosing something to wear isn't exactly my favourite thing to do. I usually stand in front of my totally overstuffed closet with one eye open, scratching my head trying to figure out what to wear. I decided this week that I would buy a clothes rack and pick out my outfits before hand.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8XdtmopwMUSWxo0VqnopzAcUt71pzI6gVQ0anyv8lHh9h4wM2kbfRKBeK17IEnoBMtrLI8efiwWO26N-a63xWdaNnSx0tKDcRZPtqmeq94BgqPZQHVOLh3rRi0GD8SUkDTd6oB3umj1o/s1600/IMG_1326.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568132800574352402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8XdtmopwMUSWxo0VqnopzAcUt71pzI6gVQ0anyv8lHh9h4wM2kbfRKBeK17IEnoBMtrLI8efiwWO26N-a63xWdaNnSx0tKDcRZPtqmeq94BgqPZQHVOLh3rRi0GD8SUkDTd6oB3umj1o/s400/IMG_1326.JPG" /></a>So here are my outfits for this week. I know that I may not actually wear every outfit because I also believe in dressing for your mood, but at least it is a head start. I know that this bit of help will go a long way and even give me some extra sleeping time in the mornings.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcawE1t8YCoPCjUCoofd09q_zQhcZqzYL7wjjNEwjfiH4K-y9VfgcBD9XdV2SP8P2mqyG6X754ORRZH-tFEsYUm6NSmO0sTl_9R7mvYybJ3H8fCbKDSuEfItg7bRO2hYDei5WqNXZ1Y0/s1600/IMG_1327.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568132382397394642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcawE1t8YCoPCjUCoofd09q_zQhcZqzYL7wjjNEwjfiH4K-y9VfgcBD9XdV2SP8P2mqyG6X754ORRZH-tFEsYUm6NSmO0sTl_9R7mvYybJ3H8fCbKDSuEfItg7bRO2hYDei5WqNXZ1Y0/s400/IMG_1327.JPG" /></a> This is my new shirt that I got at a closing out sale for $24, it was 80% off. I absolutely love it and can not wait to wear it!

One of my favourite things about Victoria is all of the fashionable people. With Victoria's cultural diversity and West Coast vibe at any given time you can find looks ranging from bohemian/hippie, rock and roll to European inspired.<br /><br />I always find myself at a party or walking through the city streets noticing how many people have such amazing fashion sense. I often want to stop and ask them what they are wearing and where they got it from. This week I decided to do just that!<br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565233137887872722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPB-Ji5C1M3A5RAm-ilhJrwGyQTpG9_eM3U7FF5T8h1gpEiT-AWg5xltC4jmDPkKSFgxG7cOciNhsM-yZFsgfeQ51DUSxRQ8rRisIpGOkS_IPKA-C198KA5k9uJYBm8wlzj5jv4v59Yhk/s400/IMG_1252.JPG" />This stunning gal definitely has style!

The two places that have remained untouched are my two bathrooms.

The above picture is my en suite. It is super tiny...and super boring!

I would love to replace the vanity with a simple sink like the one in the picture above. Either that or I will be dusting off the rollers and painting my current vanity white. I also love the nautical/industrial lighting in the above picture. And because my amazing boyfriend is an electrician...I bet I could bribe him to put some more lighting in for me.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXaQw9CZJ6p-acdmeKhg2WapsnS7TxPXrMhoaFSpE-fiXqGr9iKxF08_v9ZDFU78Vl8a83BMQN6hp55E1SmV1r6vz3hibYlRu7nAzFgnDGJC5vEkoDzkQtB6vJvKcgXrXP5HCE3x_zOPQ/s1600/Pretty+white+bathroom.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 385px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 284px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564782990877472018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXaQw9CZJ6p-acdmeKhg2WapsnS7TxPXrMhoaFSpE-fiXqGr9iKxF08_v9ZDFU78Vl8a83BMQN6hp55E1SmV1r6vz3hibYlRu7nAzFgnDGJC5vEkoDzkQtB6vJvKcgXrXP5HCE3x_zOPQ/s400/Pretty+white+bathroom.jpg" /></a>A crisp white bathroom really gives a bright clean feeling; and who doesn't want their bathroom feeling clean. The great thing with white is you can always add and change colours like they did with the towels above.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8fvC3O5q3g1xKskTtR0a3vcMrBqeD2B5afPUabg48CTaule5u_Yw854_DsH1QShYiy8ttAMYKLECUWjhPlfM5zt7gbugqo90DlPD2qHenfM66_RWWb_RYL6zm1Rak0sW3DcxJHYnvMTY/s1600/5-19-08bathroom4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 263px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564782862379330754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8fvC3O5q3g1xKskTtR0a3vcMrBqeD2B5afPUabg48CTaule5u_Yw854_DsH1QShYiy8ttAMYKLECUWjhPlfM5zt7gbugqo90DlPD2qHenfM66_RWWb_RYL6zm1Rak0sW3DcxJHYnvMTY/s400/5-19-08bathroom4.jpg" /></a> I love the hexagon shaped tiles in this bathroom.

I don't know what it is but whenever I enter a store, I am immediately drawn to the stripes. It is like I have an internal stripe detector lol. Anyway, I was so delighted to stumble upon the Spring 2011 fashion trends page on Elle.com. It was here where I discovered that stripes are listed as the pattern of the season. Yay :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiR_FeX6i6Xy40Qj51gvepy6q38vQdy0rldvg5ZaC0Wu5JPxIEhpx16MJDQDEHdPBe2TjbDZKd8hwgppVOkVbz3VjRXGO2Tc8AISgo1D5-H4GmNJq9hy57DOgjoajito7I7CN74eIZtVU/s1600/Icons+in+stripes.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 308px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561136962926623794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiR_FeX6i6Xy40Qj51gvepy6q38vQdy0rldvg5ZaC0Wu5JPxIEhpx16MJDQDEHdPBe2TjbDZKd8hwgppVOkVbz3VjRXGO2Tc8AISgo1D5-H4GmNJq9hy57DOgjoajito7I7CN74eIZtVU/s400/Icons+in+stripes.jpg" /></a>These are some of my fashion icons in stripes. I love how sophisticated Olivia Palermo makes stripes look.

I know in my last post over a MONTH ago, I mentioned that I was headed to the Dominican Republic for a friends wedding. Well I'm back and as you can tell from the photo below, we had lots of fun :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii_PpJVCGkcqqYQ6PBD0f7UxeOBD48r4x-FB5p5R1RbEbIkffO9_AwGFgnKvXH5iAJhWj0OBtWCjgcc9u-ktjymOZM6JTJJobDKSqIfcoKZErR_yfdT1oLF07ah5ahmlm1wzt6N1nvneE/s1600/IMG_0505.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560294708641445378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii_PpJVCGkcqqYQ6PBD0f7UxeOBD48r4x-FB5p5R1RbEbIkffO9_AwGFgnKvXH5iAJhWj0OBtWCjgcc9u-ktjymOZM6JTJJobDKSqIfcoKZErR_yfdT1oLF07ah5ahmlm1wzt6N1nvneE/s320/IMG_0505.JPG" /></a> After I got back from the Dominican, I worked for four days and then headed for the airport again to spend Christmas and New Years with my family and boyfriend in Palm Springs. We had an amazing time there, it was SO hard to leave. Our main purpose for the trip was to furnish my parents new house so I will have some great before and after posts coming soon.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbKM_QBMTtah_ni-FCRBJVbpnb34NVtQvHj3dGQ1_NL2VI1JrXtonXtMjqpeMl-6LSaIFNMlJLopJzWV6vUPJl50-0Io3k-hjWneZGWnWmZfKPVzmU74eyRRocqfRiruu1whwGqDaAUFo/s1600/IMG_0535.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560294166328299122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbKM_QBMTtah_ni-FCRBJVbpnb34NVtQvHj3dGQ1_NL2VI1JrXtonXtMjqpeMl-6LSaIFNMlJLopJzWV6vUPJl50-0Io3k-hjWneZGWnWmZfKPVzmU74eyRRocqfRiruu1whwGqDaAUFo/s320/IMG_0535.JPG" /></a> Because we were only home for approximately five days in December, there wasn't much point in putting up too many decorations. I know I missed the boat on posting holiday decorations but I took the pictures so I might as well post them.

We have even had three days of snow; which for a city who usually only gets about 7 days of snow a year...this is HUGE! While most of the city is panicking and complaining, I am loving every minute of it. The city is a true winter wonderland.<br /><br />Now lets move from snow balls to cotton balls lol. For as long as I can remember I have been storing my cotton balls, eye pads and Q-tips under my bathroom sink. Half of them end up getting spilled all over the place and the bags and boxes take up so much unnecessary room.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAg8hEAiGHA_sXjSo8rgmi1WcQF8Q4tGkMYzMhuDD3gqHBgJyMilo6qMTIxQDVqMKZBtLrmpKEN5dpP4Ff2IqhXiubsKtdBIYxkdcKYTF8o4lGhyphenhyphentUz9mdWq0Pq8iJQtCRWMjoE9GIzKI/s1600/IMG_0231.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543329441439260466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAg8hEAiGHA_sXjSo8rgmi1WcQF8Q4tGkMYzMhuDD3gqHBgJyMilo6qMTIxQDVqMKZBtLrmpKEN5dpP4Ff2IqhXiubsKtdBIYxkdcKYTF8o4lGhyphenhyphentUz9mdWq0Pq8iJQtCRWMjoE9GIzKI/s400/IMG_0231.JPG" /></a>I recently decided to put them in my extra jars I had lying around. I bought these jars at a second hand shop for 50 cents. They worked out perfectly because now I can display them on my bathroom counter for easy access.

The lighting was kind of off when I took these pictures but I am sure I will eventually get the hang of it. </div><div></div><div>On another (more sad) note...I had to go with my very brave Mom today to say goodbye to one of her beloved kitty cats. Minnie was such a beautiful, sweet little kitty who will be terribly missed. It is so amazing how pets can enter our lives and take such a huge piece of our hearts. It was definitely Minnies time to go but that never makes the good bye any easier. Enjoy your time with your little creatures while they are here and give yours an extra pet tonight from my Mom and me :) Xox</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOKij7s4DpuuV77Tg8Am2n2lAQ5MZ-Fs9aaY4QalxQ7DwuUYZn_Pj1bb8jL_O_rG9hlDhFx6gVb2M5sq0nXKr_Yr6jyWkR5PC5gZuIZvEa4y_OORKqSY8UbuW2UnjT_ifR8vPIkOqwSs/s1600/Signature.png"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 105px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 40px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543328791198385218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOKij7s4DpuuV77Tg8Am2n2lAQ5MZ-Fs9aaY4QalxQ7DwuUYZn_Pj1bb8jL_O_rG9hlDhFx6gVb2M5sq0nXKr_Yr6jyWkR5PC5gZuIZvEa4y_OORKqSY8UbuW2UnjT_ifR8vPIkOqwSs/s320/Signature.png" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18065094265455118438noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424602702772541610.post-33585439119158905932010-11-21T15:57:00.000-08:002010-11-21T16:18:57.898-08:00Camera...check!For those who have been following me since the beginning, you may remember me posting about my <a href="http://www.seatomyheart.com/2010/07/wednesday-wishlist.html"><span style="color:#339999;"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">wish list</span></span></a>. The item on the top of that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">wish list</span> was an SLR digital camera like my sisters. I have a basic point and shoot but I found it just wasn't doing the trick for my furniture and clothing posts. I have been drooling over the Canon Rebel T1i for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">sooo</span> long.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZEOjRgxAHo6ttR2mgbJQz2LkU_EXyfvMcvsTJAtRzEHkHr1ZJU5pM3JGBwyXVf8wdY1ryLQFBlxSrdoL0JUYzgKU_NHrewrtgC8wsFC9ZdgchO8RZsr5M7oisYPe5-vBlnxcgadOS9DI/s1600/photo%255B1%255D.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 298px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542157530913846546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZEOjRgxAHo6ttR2mgbJQz2LkU_EXyfvMcvsTJAtRzEHkHr1ZJU5pM3JGBwyXVf8wdY1ryLQFBlxSrdoL0JUYzgKU_NHrewrtgC8wsFC9ZdgchO8RZsr5M7oisYPe5-vBlnxcgadOS9DI/s400/photo%255B1%255D.JPG" /></a> Yesterday my boyfriend took me on a little outing to go pick one out! My birthday isn't for another 11 days but it snowed on Friday for the first time this year so he thought this would be the perfect weekend for my early Birthday present. I can now check it off my list :)<br /><br />As you can tell from the picture above, I am super excited! I have read the manual front to back and watched some You Tube tutorials so I should have it figured out in no time. I am looking forward to the quality of the pictures in my blog posts getting so much better. If you have a Canon Rebel, I would love any tips or pointers.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1lOLJBvZXT6LLAh1LjwfLNrh9B77kIwBrjPo_0AJER0YuFAhLGBkks9UI55SkRIs7DnSEP32hikPF4jpBOhOg9b4Rh6NfTCUNFLbIlj57qyDjS514jxUiQdsvFkPHQoBoxnqjSIwQ2PQ/s1600/j.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 272px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542157467957738594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1lOLJBvZXT6LLAh1LjwfLNrh9B77kIwBrjPo_0AJER0YuFAhLGBkks9UI55SkRIs7DnSEP32hikPF4jpBOhOg9b4Rh6NfTCUNFLbIlj57qyDjS514jxUiQdsvFkPHQoBoxnqjSIwQ2PQ/s400/j.jpg" /></a><br />Thank you so much to the most amazing boyfriend a girl could ask for.

Lol. After getting over the shock of how dorky I probably looked, I realized WHY I was smiling. It was dark at 5pm, the downtown streets are now decorated for Christmas and there is the odd house with lights up.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinXDuYj0Ozk_yJu6-mJjbLy8cwU3_4DryV5Jv-poqHLuw_9vjpWEofyqr9QDQ_euwXCYKkhA0pKEwt5hHpeESdJ8Tx5GqtgqJXJKJbEnNqrpAqegG0w__csMn9sMtY3CAS8zX-Hwz0lFE/s1600/Bedroom-White-Holiday-Stockings-HTOURS1206-de.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 313px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540716565311019074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinXDuYj0Ozk_yJu6-mJjbLy8cwU3_4DryV5Jv-poqHLuw_9vjpWEofyqr9QDQ_euwXCYKkhA0pKEwt5hHpeESdJ8Tx5GqtgqJXJKJbEnNqrpAqegG0w__csMn9sMtY3CAS8zX-Hwz0lFE/s400/Bedroom-White-Holiday-Stockings-HTOURS1206-de.jpg" /></a> I am so excited that Christmas is coming! The lights are up, snow is in the forecast for Saturday, Bloggers have Christmas music playing on their blogs and Starbucks has their Holiday flavours out...its official! Oh, and speaking of Starbucks, I tried their Peppermint Mocha today for the first time. It was a fail... :( I really didn't like the minty flavour. So looks like its Eggnog Lattes for me!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigrYHFDVZTvDc8LYNgCdvSSy47RMtZN0GzCRTVj9Z3Uvful9MXQhzQpNyrs_K2-VG_pYMniJRwAVnzfbSUHlLBpZgMDLGDmsUKPrZq7PtRZ49-3Y4g4QFL2iOa2y4Yj9ERFVwYrW_6tT8/s1600/homepage-holiday.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540716508304941794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigrYHFDVZTvDc8LYNgCdvSSy47RMtZN0GzCRTVj9Z3Uvful9MXQhzQpNyrs_K2-VG_pYMniJRwAVnzfbSUHlLBpZgMDLGDmsUKPrZq7PtRZ49-3Y4g4QFL2iOa2y4Yj9ERFVwYrW_6tT8/s400/homepage-holiday.jpg" /></a> So as I sit here in my cozy (yet slightly itchy) sweater, listening to my Christmas music I thought I would share some Christmas inspiration pictures with you. I am thinking of keeping with a white/silver/gold/turquoise theme this year.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVdhFOkPFexLRsUfwKVooe0yhWniOsFflq9c3QWip2QCGxPLUSg_C0TktUwJ0Jaz9-kUJLiSJbRuxY4cEV6wcEc2njqCKz0uVf8x5YRIJ8zZ2nWDHkVImstu9QYIRCxXaZJftkPrz77D4/s1600/3036595063_7015772fd8.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 313px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540716432685495954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVdhFOkPFexLRsUfwKVooe0yhWniOsFflq9c3QWip2QCGxPLUSg_C0TktUwJ0Jaz9-kUJLiSJbRuxY4cEV6wcEc2njqCKz0uVf8x5YRIJ8zZ2nWDHkVImstu9QYIRCxXaZJftkPrz77D4/s400/3036595063_7015772fd8.jpg" /></a><br />I have to credit Country Living with almost all of these amazing photos.

I had the most wonderful weekend. Although I didn't do anything too crazy exciting, I got all my errands done, my housecleaning off my 'to do' list and spent some QT with my friends and boyfriend.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiX8KY2CAO2XaFL4vDVgIi0RuuAhV33Vy1Mdl7yqRDsgj6c_JNYfEJcsefHtpOC-tm5gmH0DPWEQJBuWGNeFTZuwO9Kv45Vh_e_ywI6hMvO6WyErVOK-UjXGAL0kMjdysenl5FqTWLTcY/s1600/A+friendly+affair2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 298px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539955965661785570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiX8KY2CAO2XaFL4vDVgIi0RuuAhV33Vy1Mdl7yqRDsgj6c_JNYfEJcsefHtpOC-tm5gmH0DPWEQJBuWGNeFTZuwO9Kv45Vh_e_ywI6hMvO6WyErVOK-UjXGAL0kMjdysenl5FqTWLTcY/s400/A+friendly+affair2.jpg" /></a>This is the outfit I wore to dinner with three of my wonderful friends. I found the sweater at a thrift shop called Win which stands for 'Women In Need'. It is such a great thrift shop because all of the money goes directly towards assisting women escaping from abusive relationships. My belt and bracelets are also from there :)<br /><br />I always completely enjoy my time with my girlfriends. And one of my favourite ladies is expecting!! She is so tiny and beautiful and has a teeny little belly. I have recently discovered that I am pretty much obsessed with her little tummy lol....no, seriously!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPUMnXzJqEtNSIwZlUIA1BAtA1I26COy4ETJehGKru50Lh32bXxQfio30TALHVA5ZIENEptR34lZGq2ldSOIEShbCDFX9hucB2Vf8rxM_VRfGGqli68tIdtdp8yduXAsdP-VqsDfjf1aU/s1600/A+friendly+affair.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 298px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539955872634465474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPUMnXzJqEtNSIwZlUIA1BAtA1I26COy4ETJehGKru50Lh32bXxQfio30TALHVA5ZIENEptR34lZGq2ldSOIEShbCDFX9hucB2Vf8rxM_VRfGGqli68tIdtdp8yduXAsdP-VqsDfjf1aU/s400/A+friendly+affair.jpg" /></a> I hope you all had as relaxing and satisfying of a weekend as I did. </div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size:78%;">Outfit: Sweater-vintage, Necklace/watch-Forever 21, Belt-vintage, Jeans-wax brand from Sirens, Shoes-Forever 21<br /><br /></span><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-LYX215e0YPzZVlHAY_ygiOy91yRfAUvZF1AwEcESyKo9MOfpJiXI6DRaRQ5gGOIxxTndLq9oHOqahNFgKWUe8QcQpZMpJNjUwPmvbXVrS6Rny_P0tRAPn8OUIGeOQMISBm2XSPwgJm0/s1600/Signature.png"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 105px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 40px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539955488985962242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-LYX215e0YPzZVlHAY_ygiOy91yRfAUvZF1AwEcESyKo9MOfpJiXI6DRaRQ5gGOIxxTndLq9oHOqahNFgKWUe8QcQpZMpJNjUwPmvbXVrS6Rny_P0tRAPn8OUIGeOQMISBm2XSPwgJm0/s320/Signature.png" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18065094265455118438noreply@blogger.com5
