In My World

I cracked open a couple of packs of Basic Grey the other night at Other Pam's . . . Porcelain and Marrakesh . . . and really scrapbooked . . . really . . . not for a class or a display or any other reason than the absolute pleasure of cutting and pasting. Yesterday I carved an stamp and made LTCs for a swap. The stamp is supposed to resemble the front of the CASO station. Who knows what I'll get up to next. See ya Pam

I have been calling March 15th the first day of the rest of my life . . . The last day the store was open . . . we had a mother/daughter crop . . . and Connie earned her Doctorate in Scrapology. On the second day of the rest of my life we went to the Royal Ontario Museum, the CN Tower and supper at Braxton's where we were entertained by Corbin the magician. On the third day we went shopping and letterboxing in the Toronto area. On the fourth day we taught at a local day camp. On the fifth day we babysit the grandsons and then went to a Chili Cook Off. So many lovely chilis to choose from. And here are the winners . . . On the sixth day we went to see the Tundra Swans and went letterboxing with the grandsons and then I spent the evening in my jammies at Other Pam's scrapbooking . . . real scrapbooking . . . On the seventh day I worked on the apartment and my new crop space. On the eighth, we cle...

Hi! I will be at the store Thursday (March 19) from 9 am – 11 am and Saturday (March 21) from noon – 2 pm if you need anything – to pick up an order, look at some of the furniture and fixtures for sale, or just to say hi. Sales are cash only. I haven’t made a decision about the online store . . . yet . . . . . . but I am going to continue teaching and look forward to any opportunity. Please keep me in mind for your crop or girls’ night. I especially enjoy teaching beginners. I will continue to teach some favourite classes here in my new home studio. Friday, March 27 @ 10 am: Brain Freeze – Gallon, Quart, Ounce. Saturday, March 28 @ 1 pm: Crop Circle Also on Saturday, the Recipe Page Swap is due. I still have a few things to take care of, like declaring a winner in the organization challenge. I have a box of great product tucked away for the winner. I will try and get that taken care of by the weekend. I hope to continue creating page kits. And of course we will continue with ...

Since we are starting to see signs of spring and the high waters are starting to recede, we chose today to go check on two letterboxes we were sure we had lost due to the flood waters. But . . . I guess it pays to pack carefully when you letterbox in Canada . . . lol . . . we seal our stamp, log book and ink pad in a plastic bag, pack in a waterproof container and then wrap in another plastic bag. The Onion in the Sky was found all in one piece with some lovely new stamped images and notes in it. There was a hole in the exterior plastic bag and a tiny amount of water was inside it. But none of the water made it into the actual letterbox. Not bad considering it was in a puddle of water. We've pulled it for repair and will try to replant tomorrow . . . as long as the creek don't rise again . . . That Dam Letterbox didn't fare as well. It was broken and soaked through . . . off course the flood waters in that area were so high a couple of weeks ago that the park pavillions wer...
