New look!!!

Well??? What do you think?

I absolutely love it!!!   I wanted the look of a travel journal... as I always have one with me no matter where I deploy to... weather on tasking , on course, or overseas.  I am always writing, drawing or coloring.

The Poppie flower was also very important... it is the symbol of remembrance... "Lest we forget"

Michelle you are the best...

I am also very excited to announce that Katrina, Lisa and Myself are putting together a stampfest event scheduled on Feb 05, 2011  at the Petawawa Legion... more to follow on that.

I spent yesterday a delightful day at Katrina's place with Lisa... where good food, laugh and of course stamping filled the day... I made 4 cards inspired by Debbie Macneil... I did not quite completed them intending to do so once I got home.... instead I created (actually re-created) 2 other cards from "Sunshine design" from a  watercolor class that I took with Krista Schneider.

Well I will  gone for a few days to visit ma petite Maman and my brother

Have a Wonderfull New Year



New exciting changes....(well for me it is..)

First and foremost  I am going to take a little break from Dec 22 until Jan 5, 2011... I need to spend time with my family... It is a very special treat for both of us to be home and not deployed during this time
I know that once again I had gone AWOL...I have been preoccupied with work, volunteering, kids and a little incident at my home involving my husband and the stone chimney.... and of course getting ready for Christmas....
Anyhow on to my news...I will soon have a new Blog design from "Laycock Designs"  I am so excited...
At least my blog will be a little more organised and I will be able to keep up with catalogues and upcoming event.with side buttons and signature... no more fumbling around trying to figure out  layout and design... I am super psyched because...it's like she saw what I wanted in  my head and just pulled it out and made it real...

I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning... I can't wait...
I want to also take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas with your loved ones and a prosperous New Year

Christmas swap Day 1

24 Days of Christmas!

Our Artful Inker's team is doing a 24 days of Christmas swap. As I mentioned on my earlier blog.  We each made 24 items and swapped with one another so that on each day in December we get to open a different homemade gift! Because I live away from them, I had to exchange mine by mail.

I am waiting eagerly for my parcel... It on it's way!!!.... But I went on a teammate Blog and peak at what would be in today's swap.... So I borrowed her pictures ... just for today. Today's swap is from Samantha. Here what Michelle as to say about it " I just love the snowman, he's so darn cute and then inside was this beautiful Christmas star ornament. " My sentiments exactly.... I can't wait to put my hands on this little beauty....

Stop by again tomorrow for day 2's surprise!... FYI.... I might have to borrow pictures from my team mate  for that one as well....... soon... mine will be here!!!

More to Follow.

Thanks Samantha... and thank you Michelle
