In My World

I went along for the ride today to keep Hal company while he stood in line at the Drive Test Centre in Kitchener ON. We were really surprised when he was in and out with his paperwork done in less than an hour. Good thing we'd brought along our letterboxing gear. What a great way to spend the rest of the day!!!! We found Secret 'Stashe #3 - The Train Conductor , Secret 'Stashe #4 - The Comic Book Villain , Secret 'Stashe #5 - The Professor (I love this series of stamps because they really amuse me and hope to find the rest), A Royal Invitation , Mennonites of Ontario #6 Wild Goose Chase Quilt Block , Mennonites of Ontario #18 Starflower Quilt Block , Wunderbar (finally!), Mummies Under Cover and Bunny Tales . A thoroughly enjoyable day. If you are heading out to find Mummies Under Cover, you will find out that the Buddha is not in the window. In fact, when we were there all the windows in the building were being replaced. That won't stop you from fi...

Our first attempt was Alpine Adventure Kitchener but it was just an attempt. The area the box should had been greatly muggled by children building forts, etc. It was definitely a lovely walk though. Mennonites of Ontario - #19 Nine Patch Quilt Block by Waterlily was an easy find. We are really enjoying learning about the Mennonite communities in Ontario and finding all these lovely quilt blocks. Stop and Smell the Flowers was a lovely spot. Don't worry that the fountains are covered in winter and can't be used with the clues. There are other hints in the clue which will get you to the letterbox. I am definitely coming back in the summer to see the gardens in full bloom and all the fountains splashing. Our next find was another of Waterlily's quilt squares -- Mennonites of Ontario #16 Square in a Square Quilt Block . Yes, the bush is definitely prickly! We grabbed a quick lunch and headed home. A great day!!!

I was reading a designer's blog one day and spotted her canvas album. There were only peeks at the finished project; not enough to scrap lift from (darn it!! LOL) but I was intrigued with the idea. So of course I had to try and make my own. AND I LOVED IT . . . THE ENTIRE PROCESS. Here is my finished album. Believe me, the photo does not do it justice . . . all the textures and colours are so delicious. Would you like to make this easy, sewing-optional, album?

Today was a perfect fall day for letterboxing. We started with Early Telephone in Paris ON. We found a great hitchhiker in this box -- Ohio Farm Land by Saddle Bag (which has already been planted in another box somewhere in Ontario). And to finish the image we had to find Calling Long Distance in Brantford ON. I'd like to bring the grandsons back here to see the Bell Homestead. Finding The Great One in Brantford ON was a wonderful walk. Some tricky directions in the clue . . . LOL We really enjoyed our walk through Riverside Park. The Little Houses in the Woods were absolutely charming. Our next stop was to find Mennonites of Ontario - #12 Pinwheel Flower Quilt Block. This was our second try at this Kitchener, ON letterbox and we FOUND IT!!!!! We then headed to Lookout - Pioneers in Kitchener, ON. Our last stop was Topsy Turvy in Kitchener, ON. It was a great walk. Topsy turvy was a great name for the board walk we were on. But we never did find the b...
