That's awesome!
Even though I'm French and grew up there, I'm lucky to actually have been born in Canada during the 4 years while my Dad was posted there (French Air Force brat 😝). So I have dual citizenship and therefore we were able to just get whatever legal documents were needed notarized and in French here and then get married there! Arles was picked at random for the weather and the availability of a resort hotel that could host everyone for the reception and a few night and the priest accepted to marry us even though we didn't live there (the 12th century cathedral was a hit with the Canadians 😉).

That sounds wonderful @Marif
 
Just one more week until we know, @tjscraps!
I need to finish my C&C layouts for May... but it's too hot to do anything. I wanted to go to a themepark today, but decided to stay home. Chances are it will be 31/32C today (88/90F). 🥵

We were 29C yesterday - after snow a week ago. Getting lots of stuff done outside but it’s hard to work outside in that heat lol
 
I did not know that this one is still going on... I thought it finishes when the NSD festivity finished.

Not just May but where is 'LIFE' going? My oldest is graduating in a month - sniff sniff

Isn't it weird that on one hand you want them to grow up and be independent, but on the other hand you want to be little forever...
Congrats on the graduating! It's another milestone reached, leading into adulthood.
 
I have to admit that May is a much nicer month when your kids are grown. My youngest is 24 so I didn't have the busy that usually comes with May when you have field trips, concerts, graduations and all the things. My oldest grandson is turning 8 this summer so we have a while before it starts up with the grandkids.
 
Here in the Netherlands summer vacations don't start before July (for some not even until mid July), so the busy 'end-of-the-schoolyear' month for us used to be June. Since our daughter has a job and we can take vacation whenever we want (not stuck to school holidays), there's not really a busy month anymore...
On the other hand... at church and sportclasses things are coming to close for the summer, though. But at least there's not the craziness of school ending as well...
 
Popping in to add my two cents worth before month end... I have managed to scrap 4 layouts so far for this month's C&C... need to still upload them and finish the rest. Yikes!

Also yesterday was out 31st wedding anniversary... how did we get to be together so long? around 15 years I wanted out but we stuck through it... there are still moments when it's not fun! but I guess that's what love is and we made the vow to stick together through it all.

Getting to 15 years without an escape plan is a huge accomplishment 🤣🤣🤣
 
I am still beavering away at my May challenges... hope to share my layouts tonight and finish the rest tomorrow.... but first I am going flying with my boy!
 
Romajo said:
Still have 3 layouts to go as well... hope to get 1 or 2 done today...
Enjoy the time with your son.

Definitely enjoyed our time together but we sadly didn't get to fly... winter visibility didn't play nice today!
But guess that gives me more time to scrap.
 
I haven't participated in C&C at all yet, but I'm considering trying it out for June (realistically probably just the half-marathon to start, not the whole shebang :LOL:).
Wish me luck!

It is really fun. I find the first ones easy and then it gets increasingly harder as I cross things off the list but that is the part of the challenge that makes it a challenge. You got this @Marif
 
Are there C&C challenges coming for june? I thought I read in the newsletter today that June will be warming up month for the Summer Scrap-a-Thon...

As for these past months of C&C challenges, I seem to struggle with making the connections... At first it is so overwhelming with 15 options twice that have to be connected as well. I mostly struggle with the left side, the words, since I'm not always sure what they mean or how to interpret them (English is my second language, so not all words have been added to my vocabulaire so to say. Thank goodness for Google translate, though). Anyway, not sure if this system is my favorite, although I like the results.
Oh, and something else I struggle with is knowing at the beginning of the month if I made the right decissions. Did I pick the right scrapping method from the right with the right word from the left? What if I regret a choice and would have wanted to make another connection? So I mostly struggle at the beginning of the month and think I have a better vision of what I want as connections towards the end.
